It was a late night when I thought up this brilliant idea. Actually, it's not really that much of a good idea, but I digress. The other night, I was up just playin' my vidya's when I looked over to my Breaking Bad collection. The first three seasons, none had been watched since purchase. So I thought to myself 'why don't you pick your favourite episode and have a watch.' I decided to watch Season 2, episode 8, 'Better Call Saul!'
This episode is one of my favourites, as it introduces undoubtably the funniest character in the show, behind the methhead who gets his head crushed by an ATM.
Saul Goodman is a self-employed lawyer, and Jesse Pinkman defines him perfectly
|Jesse Pinkman: When you get in deep, you don't want a criminal lawyer. You want a criminal lawyer.Saul Goodman is one of the best lawyers for meth-heads, drug dealers, bikers and basically anything nearly illegal. Not only this, he provides all of the comic relief the show needs to thrive as not only a drama, but also a small comedy. A few of my favourite quotes are:
| Saul Goodman: Walter never told me how lucky he was. Clearly his taste in women is the same as his taste in lawyers : only the very best... with just a right amount of dirty!
| Hank Schrader: Saul, I've seen your ads. I've seen better acting in an epileptic whorehouse. Laughs.
| Saul Goodman: Oh, you mean the place where your mom works? Does she still have that two-for-one special?These are the kinds of wisecracks is what makes Saul, Saul. He is an intelligent, crazy and everything inbetween those two poles.
The incredible thing is, not only is he a powerhouse on the show. He branches off to our universe. In the show he has a website named www.bettercallsaul.com.
Interestingly enough, it's the same here.

He also has a fashion page. In the shows, lets face it, he is a stud. So why not here too?

I could go on and on, but in reality, there is only so much you can say without repeating yourself too much.
So I'll leave you with a final statment.
Saul Goodman: Who can you sue? What about churches, family members, neighbours, drug dealers, The people who made the drugs, who stole the drugs, that you took... You know what to do. Better Call Saul.
Saul is also one of my favourite characters in the show! The Don't Worry, it'saul Good-man! joke is almost good enough to go on my blog! :)
