  1. End of the day, it's gonna be up to you and your fiance. 

    It seems like your financial and home situation is stable (and even if it wasn't, life, uh, finds a way).  If you guys were looking to have kids in the future then this seems like the perfect situation, even though the events surrounding it suck.  More often than not, things have a way of working out.


  2. Ford vs. Ferrari. Good movie, though not knowing the story behind it makes it sorta less enjoyable. 

    Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Kinda meh? The movies parts are greater than the whole.  Rick Dalton is a moron, and not really an endearing moron, just a moron.   Really glad we get to see Margot Robbie's feet a few times, that was neat.  Last half hour or so is the best part of the movie, so at least it's got that going for it.

    The transformation of Jimmy McGill into Saul Goodman has an end date.

    AMC will bring Better Call Saul to a close with a 13-episode sixth and final season in 2021. Season five of the Breaking Bad prequel from Sony Pictures TV is set to premiere Feb. 23. 

    "From the beginning when we started this, I think all our hopes and dreams were to be able to tell the whole story ... and make it to be a complete story from beginning to end," showrunner Peter Gould revealed Thursday during the show's panel at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour.  "We're going to try like hell to stick the landing of these 63 episodes."

    The official word comes months after Giancarlo Esposito, who has starred in both series, said in an interview that the plan was Saul to go for six seasons. Sources told The Hollywood Reporter at the time that no endgame had been set.

    "Green-lighting a prequel to one of the most iconic series in television history is one of the boldest swings that AMC has ever taken. But, thanks to the creative genius of [co-creators] Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, it has also been one of the most rewarding,” said Sarah Barnett, president of AMC Networks Entertainment Group and AMC Studios. "It has been an absolute joy to collaborate with the extraordinarily talented team on Better Call Saul, which — five seasons in — continues to deliver some of the best storytelling and most beautifully nuanced performances on television today. We congratulate Vince, Peter, our producers, writers and cast on a remarkable run and look forward to sharing this final chapter with fans.”

    The 13-episode final season for Better Call Saul will put it one episode ahead of its parent show, which ran for five seasons — the latter broken in two and aired a year apart — and 62 episodes from 2008-13. Saul will finish with 63.

    The series is set several years before the events of Breaking Bad and chronicles the transformation of the essentially decent con man-turned-lawyer Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) into the sleazy persona of Saul Goodman. The show also features other Breaking Bad regulars in Esposito (meth kingpin Gus Fring) and Jonathan Banks (Fring's taciturn fixer Mike Ehrmantraut). 

    Another key Breaking Bad figure, Dean Norris' Hank Schrader, will appear in the show's fifth season, as will Steven Michael Quezada as Hank's fellow DEA agent, Steven Gomez. "[Episodes] three and four are especially close to our hearts, I think it's fair to say, because we have some of our Breaking Bad family returning: Dean Norris as Hank Schrader in episodes 3 and 4, and Steven Michael Quezada," Gilligan said Thursday at the Television Critics Association press tour. "...Working with Dean and Michael again was a highlight of the season."

    Still not appearing: Bryan Cranston as Walter White and Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman, the two central figures in Breaking Bad. Gilligan is still holding out hope, however: "I would love to see them on Better Call Saul before it ends, so who knows," he said. 

    The show's fourth season ended in October 2018 with Jimmy announcing he would start practicing law under a different name, signaling his turn toward Saul. Following the season finale, co-creator Gould told THR that while the series "feels like we're closer to the end than to the beginning," he didn't have a firm ending in mind. "Before season five is over, I think we'll have a very clear idea of how much further we've got to go," he said.

    Gilligan remains under an overall deal with Saul producers Sony Pictures TV, which he re-upped in 2018. Gilligan also wrote and directed sequel movie El Camino, which debuted on Netflix (to solid viewership) in October and will have its AMC debut on Feb. 16. He has also been developing (for several years) a limited series at HBO based on the Jonestown tragedy of 1978. 

    With Saul and El Camino bookending the events of Breaking Bad, Gilligan has already twice expanded the original show's universe. He's not ready — yet — to go back to the well. "I always [add the] caveat of never say never, but you don't want to drive it into the ground, so I would say at this moment in time, probably not."

    With Better Call Saul's end in sight, AMC's originals include the Walking Dead franchise — including a third series, World Beyond, due to premiere in the spring — NOS4A2, McMafia and anthology The Terror, along with upcoming shows Dispatches From Elsewhere, 61st Street, Kevin Can F*** Himself and an untitled sci-fi/romance anthology from Black Mirror veteran Will Bridges. The network recently canceled the little-watched critical favorite Lodge 49 and has also parted with Preacher, The Son and Into the Badlands in the past year.

     

    I need them meaningful flashforwards.  Probably won't get any until the finale.
