Full-length trailers are now out for Better Call Saul and for iZombie! "How 'iZombie' differs from 'Veronica Mars' (aside from the fact she's dead)"

Anyone else planning to check out either of those shows? :)

I will probably check out both, though I'm not particularly excited for Better Call Saul, tbh. Still I feel like I will at least watch the pilot!

iZombie I am looking forward to!

[frelling_tralk]

Ditto on Better Call Saul! I will check out the pilot for the BB connection, but I'm not all that excited for it at the moment. Saul was fun in small doses on a darker show like BB, but I'm still not sure about a show being centred around him. (And I'm like the one BB fan that couldn't stand Mike lol, so his appearances will not much of an incentive for me either)

But yes, iZombie looks like it could be a cute show, I'm going to give that one a few episodes to grab me

Never cared for Mike, myself. I didn't hate him, but when I saw the fandom love it confused me. 'Cause why?

I feel the same about BCS. If it lasts a season, I might buy the DVDs, but yeah...Saul was good on BrBa to vary things up and cut tension. A full show of him, though, might be too much. And I don't want to ruin BrBa rewatches by becoming annoyed with him. :P

I, Zombie...no. Zombies are just something that never appealed to me.

I kind of did end up disliking Mike by the end tbh. Nothing against the actor, and I did like Mike a lot more when he was first introduced and working for Gus in a lower capacity, but I hated how he ultimately came across as believing that he knew it all and everyone around him were idiot children, some of his screen time was quite grating to me in the final season. People (correctly of course) note how full of himself Walt became, but I never saw Mike as all that different, he was just more world-weary and long-suffering with it if that makes sense? He absolutely gave me the vibe that he thought that he knew it all about this business, and it was everyone around him that kept screwing up. That was something that was apparently endearing to viewers, I saw a lot of love for example for the scene of him acting like Walt and Saul were a couple of kids fighting in Saul's office, but really he came across to me as every bit as arrogant and know-it-all as Walt, just for Mike it was apparently considered a positive character trait to be

I'm definitely watching Better Call Saul. :D

[frelling_tralk]

I hope that it turns out well, they definitely have a build-in audience at least! I believe that the network has already committed to a second season, even before the first has aired?

Ugh...
*lol*
That scene with David Anders... I love that guy, but that hair color? OH GOD! That is pretty awful *lol* I'll still always love him no matter what :P

[frelling_tralk]

I only really know him well from TVD, and honestly I wasn't crazy about his character there (although his exit was handled well), but that hair colour does make him look pretty different from Uncle John :P The hair colour isn't great lol, but it does help with making look younger weirdly. I was always surprised to hear that he was a similar age to Ian on TvD, because I estimated him to be in his late 30's when he was playing John...

[bm_shipper]

OH, I've seen SO so much with David... a whole lot... he was in Arrow, he was in Once Upon a Time, I even bought this stupid movie called "Into the Blue 2" just for him (he's not very proud of it) and yeah... I just checked out much with him as he was so awesome on TVD and OUAT :D

But yeah, he's not even in his "late 30's" NOW... He's only 32 :D I love him :D

[frelling_tralk]

Hmm maybe they just made him up to look older in TVD then, I assume that the character was cast as 32/33 if he was Elena's biological father

[_profiterole_]

I'm actually more interested (not much yet, though, I will need to check out the pilot) in the other CW show, The Messengers.

[frelling_tralk]

I've not been sure of whether to give that show a go or not tbh, as the CW putting it on Fridays doesn't seem like they have a lot of confidence in it :/

[place_to_hide]

I am now. After I watched the first look of iZombie. At first, I wasn't sure.

[frelling_tralk]

It does look like it has potential

[place_to_hide]

Hopefully, it's as good as it looks. :)

[frelling_tralk]

Fingers crossed!
