So do most of you actually watch this live on TV? I have an excellent streaming site that I use which uploads the newest episode of a show about an hour after it airs. "Typical millennial" I know, but I just can't imagine having to wait every week to watch the newest episode of a show on AMC.

I've watched all of The Walking Dead, and only one of the episodes I watched live. It was miserable. Literally 50% commercials. Dunno how yall do it.

not sure what you mean there since.....whether you watch online or on a TV either way you are waiting a week.

I watch on my TV.....but its recorded and I watch it delayed, usually anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour or so later than it actually starts so I can skip commercials. Sometimes if I'm busy I might even watch the next day.

My 15 minutes to an hour later is no later than you are getting it.

I'm exclusively referring to those who watch the show live. As it's happening.

I go pee and stuff during the commercials. It's really not a difficult process.

well you asked if people watch "live" in the very first sentence....so no you were not actually exclusively referring to those who watch it live...you were asking if most actually did that....seems like most don't do that.

I still don't get your reference to "can't imagine having to wait every week to watch the newest episode"...that applies to every method in which people view it except for those who come to it late and binge watch it streaming. that doesn't really apply to a thread on Season 2 of a show that is currently airing.

i'm just confused by your air of superiority in the way you watch it. it seems pretty much the same except the device on which you watch it.

Exactly. I usually watch it live. Sometimes I watch it on delay to skip commercials.

i'm directly quoting you...so not sure how i can misquote you.

like i said i'm just confused by your questions. but since you've offered no clearer explanation or tried to reword it....no big deal.

That's exactly what I was trying to do. All I was trying to do was compliment those who wait every week to watch it live and sit through 25 minutes of commercials. I've read my statement at least 10 times now and don't understand the confusion.

Some people just have to be confrontational.

I'm really looking forward to this one. Mike and Jimmy working together. Colorful suits. Something I won't say here as to not incite a riot.

But yeah, popcorn night.

Saw an earlier poster say that Jimmy and Mike aren't that far from the people they become in Breaking Bad. Gotta say I disagree. Seeing the twins in that episode last week made me want to go back and watch the episodes with them in BB, and I gotta say that Jimmy is still a ways away from becoming Saul, and Mike is still not even close to the Mike in BB.

"what we've got here is a failure to communicate" -- cool hand luke

honestly i was not trying to be confrontational...i was quoting him and bolding certain parts of the text hoping for clarification because I did not understand what he meant. still don't.

in response he offered no explanation of the part that confused me and further confused me by saying he was only referring to people who watch live (yes he posed the question asking how many watch live, but then the rest of the post was just talking in general about streaming, etc. so it seemed to apply to all viewers but whatever).....but thats another issue.

so to be perfectly clear and blunt....since I still have an 15+ minutes to kill before I can watch w/o commercials.....

you said "I just can't imagine having to wait every week to watch the newest episode of a show on AMC."

I don't understand that statement. I thought I was clear when I said whether we watch live or streaming we all have to wait a week....but you did not further explain so......

Do you have some incredible machine that allows you to only wait 6 days before you watch the newest episode? If not, what do you mean that you can't imagine having to wait every week to watch the newest episode? Are you not waiting right now? And have you not been waiting a week like the rest of us?

That is my confusion.

Do yall think we ever find out what the light switch is going to affect? Or is that just going to be something Vince Gilligan just likes to put in there?

No, that was just to show that Jimmy doesn't follow the rules.

It's all farcical. A scrubby solo attorney with a couple elderly clients does not get any of these perks.

I'm not usually happy with "slow Mike" episodes but this one was pretty good.

that was great.

i mean really not much happened but at least we are moving along.....out of the corporate world. yeah!!!!!

the sneak peek head fake was hysterical...i love how he got fired though instead.

i could not see them practicing together as partners, her proposal makes more sense.

still will be interesting to see why she is out of the picture by BB timeframe.

Another great episode


If this was posted I apologize, but it was renewed for season 3.

The way Jimmy just takes Kim for granted is striking.
PatriotAg02
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We can also see why Jimmy and Kim won't work in the long run. They are just too different.

Obviously we can assume (fairly safely) that Saul chose Nebraska due to Kim. I can't see that being a coincidence.

I'm just waiting for an episode to flash forward to present day Nebraska again and we see Kim.

I have an excellent DVR that records the newest episode of a show exactly when it airs. I can't imagine having to wait an extra hour every week after it airs to watch the newest episode of a show on AMC.

In full disclosure, I start watching 18 minutes late so I can fast forward through the commercials.

I still don't understand how watching the show an hour after it airs keeps you from having to wait a week between episodes.

I kind of always took it as Jimmy really not being capable of connecting with people because of who he is. He really does try with Kim but doesn't know how. She recognizes it and just kind of accepts it, the trade off for her being she gets some excitement out of his scams and his subversive intelligence.
They both also find a connection in the fact that they are two of the few in their world that started from nothing, even as adults. It wasn't a coincidence that well put together Kim took a cig even before she left the building at the interview.
