It is actually not true.

The government doesn't pay for the treatments that may heal you...they pay for the treatments that quicken your death.

Pretty sure I know of a bunch of people who've been treated for and recovered from cancer free of charge over here but hey .................................

Can we just talk about how funny Meth Damon looked shooting that gun :lol:

I think Todd looked the way he did because he was conflicted about disregarding Walt's direct orders. Todd was torn between his loyalty for his Uncle and Walt. He's a whole different kind of sociopath.

One girl I knew had insurance and all the time she would be having appointments for treatment/therapy.

One guy I knew didn't have insurance and basically all they did was give him drugs for the pain.

She is alive and he is dead.

Anyone who thinks Medicare and Social Security are going to "save them" if they get deathly ill is sadly mistaken.

Hey Dazey, if you're going to use facts to support your argument I don't think you're going to make it around here...

What facts did he present?

None that I saw.

Just his "life experience", like I presented as well.

I do think Arnold was right in calling him out about not living in the US, but having such strong opinions about it.

Sunny I've already pointed out that the cartoon said "EVERYWHERE BUT AMERICA" ie it wasn't referring to Medicare/aid and therefore your argument is irrelevant. ;)

Errrrr, my life experience is kind of a fact as in it .........y'know happened?

Oh well, this thread was fun while it was actually about a TV series. Too bad.

seriously though is anyone still a Jesse fan?

Seriously?

Team Hank forever!

(And Team Gomie since the last couple of episodes)

Oh, I didn't it like that. I thought it was just a "oh well, I don't give a fuck about anything" kind of face, like, it's my job and I'm just doing it.

Only through a strange sense of commitment. I still do feel like he'll redeem himself in the end though.

Not so sure about that - he violated just about every moral law/code known to man now - he was a drug abuser (and has gone back to it), murderer, drug dealer and now he's a flat out rat. Granted, he apparently has "good intentions"...are those intentions really to get Walt off the streets or are they to get Walt off Jesse's back and revenge for Brock??

Breaking Bad Spinoff Series Better Call Saul Confirmed

1255496_509016049181877_1944766071_n.jpg

AMC and Sony Pictures Television confirmed today that they have reached a licensing agreement for a spinoff of Vince Gilligan’s landmark AMC/Sony Pictures Television series Breaking Bad. As conceived, the new series is based on the show’s popular Saul Goodman character with the working title Better Call Saul. Plans call for Saul to be a one-hour prequel that will focus on the evolution of the popular Saul Goodman character before he ever became Walter White’s lawyer.

The possibility of a Saul Goodman spinoff series was revealed last April. With the recent ratings hike that Breaking Bad has been enjoying, it's felt like more and more of a distinct possibility, as the network would want to capitalize on the audience interest in the show, and characters, as quickly as possible.

In May, Gilligan, who was developing the series with Peter Gould, the writer who created the Saul Goodman character, said that they hadn't yet decided if it would be a prequel or sequel to the events of Breaking Bad.

"I like to think of Saul as a cockroach in the best possible way,” Gilligan told Vulture, indicating that the crafty lawyer may indeed survive the series' carnage. “This is a guy who’s going to survive while the rest of us have been nuked into annihilation. He’ll be the worst-dressed cockroach in the world.” Now that we know that Better Call Saul will indeed function as a prequel, Saul's fate on Breaking Bad is a little more up in the air.

"[saul] kind of knows everybody...everybody in town, all the major players. And he has a hand in the business every which way he can," Gilligan told Yahoo! TV back in April. "So we just have to figure out exactly what kind of story we're telling. Is it a story about his creation of his own character? Because Saul Goodman, as he explains in his first episode, is not his real name. He is a self-created character, much like Heisenberg. Do we tell the story of his origins? We're still trying to hash that out. But there are a lot of fun possibilities."

It appears that we may indeed be getting a glimpse at the man he was, before he became the ambulance chasing, money laundering, lawyer-for-all-occasions, Saul Goodman.

Alan Sepinwall of Hitfix reports that deals still need to be made for Gilligan and Gould, and it is currently unclear if Gilligan will be showrunning the new series. Better Call Saul is also likely to go straight to series, with no pilot.

We will keep you updated as details emerge!

Meantime... think we'll be seeing Gus and Mike on this show?
