Talk:Better Call Saul season 4/Archive 1

Talking Saul
Why is nothing about Talking Saul on the S4 article when there is on S3 & 2? Has it aired? The Optimistic One (talk) 13:29, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Because they haven't done Talking Saul for season 4. Drovethrughosts (talk) 14:45, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

It's likely because of the Chris Hardwick stuff reported in the TV media. He only returned to work for AMC recently after the network investigated the allegations against him. Some websites even reported that some staff associated with the "Talking" series quit after he was reinstated. It sounds like one big mess to me. Esuka323 (talk) 19:01, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Howard Hamlin
Is he really a main character anymore? He has appeared in only four episodes this season and two of them were cameos, and he hasn't had as much screen time as plenty of the supporting characters. The Optimistic One (talk) 20:44, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, because Patrick Fabian receives star billing. That's what determines main vs. recurring. Drovethrughosts (talk) 21:19, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

2004?
Article says, "The fourth season, like the previous one, mainly takes place in 2003. With the last three episodes taking place a year later in 2004, while the first and second season took place in 2002". Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Jimmy lose his attorney rights in his court case against Chuck in the middle of last season? It was around late 2002. We only recently found out that Jimmy's been out-of-practice for a year, which should only mean that it's not 2004 yet and is still 2003. The Optimistic One (talk) 09:56, 5 October 2018 (UTC)


 * I think the number of months covered in the flash-forward of "Something Stupid" make 2004 logical. Reviewer Kenny Herzog at Vulture.com |seems to concur.  So does David Segal at |The New York Times.  And |according to this fan wiki, documents in the "Something Stupid" flash-forward show that Jimmy's probation report at the start is June 3, 2003, and a later one is dated October 13, 2003, followed by completion on January 12, 2004.  I haven't re-watched the episode to verify that, but I don't see a reason to doubt it.


 * All in all, I think early 2004 as the period Better Call Saul is in during Season 4 makes sense.

 * Thank you! I completely forgot about that flash-forward from "Something Stupid". Explains everything! The Optimistic One (talk) 21:16, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
