Just got done with Better Call Saul Season 1.

It's not Breaking Bad but I have enjoyed the back-story they created for Slippin' Jimmy.

Now, the suckage of waiting for season 2.

At least you only have to wait a month or two. I can't remember when I last saw that show. BTW, that Mike episode was just epic wasn't it?

Mike is a great character and yeah, that was a great episode.

I also liked his audition for the protection job.

On a related note, AMC does plan to continue making a ****load of money.

If you have not read them yet, the unfrozen court documents from Frank Darabont's lawsuit are pretty damning.

If you have not read them yet, the unfrozen court documents from Frank Darabont's lawsuit are pretty damning.

Read them last night. What a bunch of uncreative jerks the AMC execs are. Just looking at a way to fund all their other projects. Don't worry about the creative side just give 'em the cash. I can only imagine how good the series would've been if Darabont would have been allowed to continue ...

Oh and it didn't come to me as a surprise that Darabont ran afoul of Kirkman in all that. Talk about being lucky ... that is all Kirkman is ...

Seth Rogen's 'Preacher' will be different from the comics, and that's okay
Read more at http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-wa...the-comics-and-thats-okay#Yg22KFVFpKyOZBxX.99

Officially concerned about this because...

Rogen noted, for instance, that they were shown a very faithful-looking makeup test for Arseface, a horribly mutilated character introduced in early "Preacher" issues, "And as soon as I saw that, I knew we should not try to make it look exactly how it looked in the comic, and we should take some license and try to make it something maybe a little more palatable... We wanted the character to be sympathetic and, ultimately, someone you really rooted for, and there’s, like, a threshold where that becomes difficult just in short bursts."

The strength of the source material is it's EXTREME nature. The ugliness going on around them makes the beauty of the love story stand out that much more. I think by diluting it you are in danger of diluting the entire thing. I already know the story is going to be changed considerably...but this development has me more worried than any changes to the storyline.

‘Preacher’: Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg on Violence, Making a “Palatable” Arseface
http://collider.com/preacher-tv-series-violence-arseface-seth-rogen/

Still, it is Preacher, and things are going to necessarily be easy. When it comes to some of the extreme violence, they said they had “Talmudic arguments” about things like whether or not it was worse to show an ear being bitten off, or a nose. (They went for the ear). Rogen said that ultimately,

“We want the show to be fun for regular people with not sick sensibilities. Put that on a poster.”

OOf. Yeah. For anyone who has ever read Garth Ennis...ANY Garth Ennis work, you just know this is not going to turn out well.

‘The Walking Dead': Showrunner Scott Gimple Promises More Daryl When Season 6 Returns
http://collider.com/the-walking-dead-season-6-daryl/



SPOILER ALERT!!!!!

Of course, the name on everybody’s lips in the latter half of the season is gonna be Negan. Played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, the character was name-dropped by a group of armed men, but creator and executive producer Robert Kirkman said the character’s first appearance won’t come until the “bone-chilling” season finale on April 3. Gimple described Negan as “the darkest incarnation of a bully. He’s a very magnetic character; he isn’t just a sociopath. He is the star of his own movie.”

AMC’s ‘Preacher’ Series Casts Jackie Earle Haley in Villainous Role
http://collider.com/preacher-tv-series-jackie-earle-haley-odin-quincannon/

AMC’s Preacher series has already made some great casting choices with Dominic Cooper as the disillusioned Jesse Custer, Ruth Negga as his fierce ex-girlfriend, and Joseph Gilgun as the vampire Cassidy. But Jackie Earle Haley? Always a very welcomed addition. The character he’s playing, though …

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who are adapting Garth Ennis’ Preacher comics for AMC, have talked about making the character Arseface (played by Ian Colletti) more “palatable” for audiences, but I’m curious how that will apply to the character Odin Quincannon. So yes, Jackie Earle Haley has just been cast in a six-episode arc in the role of Odin, who THR describes as,

“A small, decrepit man with the unscrupulous iron will necessary to be the most powerful man in Annville County, Texas. The chief employer in town, Odin runs Quincannon Meat & Power, a 125-year-old family run cattle slaughterhouse business.”

But then there’s this:

“In the comics, Odin is a member of the local KKK branch and clashes multiple times with Jesse, with the latter eventually discovering him having sex with a mannequin made out of meat products.“
