I hope he’s ok. Great great actor and I love this show

Yeah have been following the story. Hope he pulls through and was nothing too serious like heart issue. Better Called Saul is brilliant. Some episodes in the last season that would easily rank up there with some of the classics from breaking bad, which for me it's hard to choose between that and Sopranos as the greatest of all time (rewatching sopranos at the moment, on S6, didn't remember that the quality dropped off as much in S6 compared with the others).



Yeah I absolutely love Breaking Bad. Better Call Saul is excellent. It’s more of a slow burner but as you said it really ramped up in the last series. Would be a shame if they couldn’t finish it out. Hopefully he pulls through whatever has happened to him.

Incidentally I’m currently watching The Sopranos for the first time! Half way through season 3 and can definitely see why people say it’s the greatest of all time. Can’t believe it too me this long to watch it

Ah yeah it really is class, even me saying S6 had a bit of a drop off is really splitting hairs trying to find some sort of fault between BB and Sopranos so to determine the best. S6 still really good. Just S2->5 are just so good. 

Getting more worried about Bob Odenkirk. The fact there is no medical news coming. Co-Stars seeem worried

Yeah it's very odd and worrying it's gone this long without an update

BCS is great, so many diverse characters. Preferred the earlier series though, has become a bit cliched as the narco storyline took prominence. Jimmy's grifting in the first couple of series was great fun. I find myself warming to Jimmy while at the same time getting annoyed with myself for it. Mike Ermantrout is the star performer for me by a mile.

Apparently BCS is better than BB, though.

Must give it a shot some time.

The last 3 seasons were way better then the first 2 so you picked the worst time to stop although many also quit at the same point. BCS is better then the first 2 seasons of BB but not better then the rest of them.

Looks like he had a heart related incident  but he is going to be OK according to his son.

All these cardiac arrests and heart attacks recently really make you think about your own health and getting a full lookout of the auld ticker

Final series started last week. One of the best shows of the last 20 years. I think it has actually surpassed Breaking Bad now. Can't wait to see how they wind it all together

It's iconic in its own way. Not sure about surpassing breaking bad comment, just think the Walt-Jessie chemistry was so unique. 
But unmissable and I will be really sad when it finishes.

Already wondering if there is any other fork you could add to keep 'the universe' alive. 

For example, something post El Camino.

Those who skipped this series are really missing out. Maybe a but similar to Breaking bad in that first season or two there wasaybe no big epic episodes but just plugged away but each season has got better and this last season, frankly the episodes are right up there with breaking bad's best. 
Plus it's basically just breaking bad 2.0 at this stage

I think its surpassed Breaking Bad. The desert episode last season is up there with The Sopranos forest episode for me as one of the best in television history.
