  1. I gave Better Call Saul two episodes. The thing is, it's wonderfully acted. Almost every scene has a great moment of acting and McKean and Odenkirk are brilliant. The problem is that there is almost a complete lack of comedy OR dramatic tension. There were more laughs in one appearance of Saul in Breaking Bad than there are in the first two episodes. I'm out.

    I think its the awkward position of wanting to appeal to old fans while having a different show that has its own merits. So far there have been two little treats that reward BB watchers but I agree it's yet to find its feet. Laughs and/or drama is very few and far between and the first three episodes mostly establish what the character of Jimmy is like at this point in time and the people around him.

    I'm sticking around because I'm still interested in seeing how he changes and I trust that it's building and will have more punch to it soon enough.

  2. The Big O : I am wondering how a giant robot anime managed to breed with Batman the Animated series to come up with this, but I am not complaining because this baby is beautiful.

    I remember really enjoying Big O then being really disappointed with the ending. I might have to watch it back.

    Space Dandy - I'm a huge fan of Cowboy BeBop so I was really hyped for this. 3 episodes in and I can certainly say they are pretty much NOTHING like each other. In fact SD is more like an art installation than a narrative at this point. I wonder if it'll change...
