bettercallsaul46smallTonight, the first season of Better Call Saul comes to a close. Last week, Jimmy helped Chuck finally leave his house by creating a foil-lined suit for his brother to wear. They headed to Chuck’s office to work on the class-action suit, where Chuck received a standing ovation from his entire firm — obviously he is well-loved there. Jimmy was excited because he assumed the partnership on the class-action suit meant that he would finally be accepted as part of the firm. However, Howard said that was not the case and that they only wanted to pay him a referral fee and not have him actually work on the case. Jimmy eventually put two and two together and realized that his brother was the one who set up this arrangement. Meanwhile, an unarmed Mike took on the job of three men, serving as bodyguard/assistant for a nervous young man brokering a drug deal with Nacho.

So we finally got the first inkling of what is likely going to cause Jimmy to break bad and slip into the moral-less persona of Saul Goodman. Jimmy has always loved and trusted his brother, but now he has discovered Chuck still thinks of him as “Slippin Jimmy” and a fake lawyer and that he has never wanted him at his firm. All these years Jimmy struggled to move up in the firm, and it was his own brother who had been working against him! How will this news affect Jimmy? Will he immediately start taking on more shady cases with Nacho? Will he break off his relationship with his brother? Will we get another fast-forward glimpse of post-Breaking Bad Saul in tonight’s episode?

On tonight’s episode, “Marco,” Jimmy seizes the opportunity to reconnect with an old friend. Meanwhile, Chuck adjusts to a new way of life.

If you missed any of this first season, AMC will be airing a marathon of the first 9 episodes starting at 12PM/11AMc, leading up to tonight’s finale at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Following, Jane the Virgin, Bates Motel, and The Returned.

scorpion223smallI’m still really loving Scorpion—the characters and story lines are so much fun. Last time, Paige, Sylvester, Walter, & Cabe went undercover on a cruise ship—Paige & Sylvester as a couple and Walter & Cabe as their…well, baggage handler and trainer, basically—to find some rockets that were being transported and put some tracking on them. Unfortunately, things went sideways, and just when it looked dire, Sylvester stepped up and faced one of his major fears…and nearly paid for it with his life. In the end, of course, the good guys won. And it was Valentine’s Day, so Sylvester made a homemade valentine for Megan, while Walter hacked into one of the most popular, expensive restaurants to secure a reservation for him & Paige under the guise of a “work meeting.” Unfortunately, he met up with his ex on the cruise ship, and when she realized the feelings he had for Paige, she told him to make sure he was ready for a relationship before starting one with someone else, so he cancelled the dinner he had planned. It was pretty sad. On the other end of the spectrum, Happy and Toby have finally crossed some line in their relationship, and they held hands for a moment, when they took Ralph to give a special gift to the girl he has a crush on.

I’m glad they aren’t rushing the relationship between Paige & Walter, and that’s helped by the fact that Drew, Ralph’s father, is gone. Hopefully things will continue to progress and not stall!

On tonight’s episode, “Going South,” Team Scorpion heads to Mexico when a tech billionaire hires them to rescue his kidnapped daughter. Also, feelings are hurt after Walter gives an interview and fails to acknowledge the other members of the team. Camille Guaty guest stars.

Find out if the team can rescue the daughter tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing 2 Broke Girls, Kids Baking Championship, Mike & Molly, Ellen’s Design Challenge, NCIS: LA, & Castle.

bettercallsaul28smallTonight is the first half of the 2-night premiere of the new AMC series Better Call Saul. The show is a prequel to Breaking Bad, set 6 years prior, and follows the exploits of courtroom lawyer Jimmy McGill as he (d)evolves into the sleazy Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk). Working alongside Jimmy is “fixer” Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), another character Breaking Bad viewers will be familiar with. The series also stars Michael McKean (Family Tree), Rhea Seehorn (Franklin & Bash, Whitney), Patrick Fabian (Working Class), and Michael Mando (Orphan Black).

When I first heard about this series, and it was rumored to be a sitcom, I was really scared, However, once it was announced that it was going to be a drama, I have been really looking forward to revisiting the world of Saul Goodman. I’m also excited that Mike will be on the sho. He was one of my favorite Breaking Bad characters, and it will be fun to see how he and Saul butt heads — no-nonsense meets all-nonsense! The series has already been picked up for a second season, so tonight is just the first of many cases we’ll Saul Goodman take on.

On tonight’s 75-minute episode, “Uno,” Jimmy McGill is working his magic in the courtroom when unexpected inspiration leads him to an unconventional pursuit of potential clients.

See what inspires Jimmy tonight on AMC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, The Simpsons, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers, Worst Cooks in America, The Walking Dead, Taking Dead, Togetherness, Looking, Shameless, Episodes, and Mike Tyson Mysteries.
