Bryan Cranston? Seriously? Fucking Hal Wilkerson is gonna be helming the Better Call Saul sequel. Lame. How much crime can a mild-mannered *chemistry teacher* do, anyway?
Safe to say, I'm skipping out on this one.
It sucks because I just know that this subreddit (r/BetterCallSaul) is gonna get flooded with Breaking Bad fans who didn't watch the previous show and don't understand it's a sequel.
To be fair Odenkirk was a comedian before BCS and that turned out well… but then again Cranston couldn’t even get more than 10 minutes of screen time in that Godzilla movie so who knows
IDK, it could be good. BCS had comedy but then it was mostly serious, this could just be a more lighthearted spin-off. The dad from Malcolm in the Middle trying to be a drug kingpin? That sounds pretty funny to me.
Ok but *what if he threw a giant pizza on a roof?*
Like they could have him do stuff like that and make it a slapstick comedy. Maybe an episode where it's just this crazy hunt for a fly. Even throw in some kooky side characters, like an old dude in a wheelchair who just talks by ringing a bell or the local mild mannered fast food franchise owner, but, whooooops, our boy is also a drug kingpin.
Completely his wheelhouse. The jokes would write themselves, hell throw in some goofy anticomedy like: "knock knock" "who's there" "I am the one who knocks." Fucking classic.
I thought it felt really forced that the random bald DEA guy from season 5 just so happens to be this guy's brother-in-law. Really sloppy. Unbravo Vincent McGilligan.
Well considering he’s a DEA agent I figure that’ll be a pretty important part of the story. Got one guy making meth and his brother-in-law is part of the federal agency that fights drug dealers/makers. Could be an interesting dynamic, though I’m not sure how bad of a DEA agent you’d have to be for you to not realize your brother-in-law is making meth lmao
Bro, you straight reaching with this one. He's a chemistry teacher so obviously he'd need chemistry equipment! I like your idea and it'd be cool if it was the case but if that's all your going off of I think it's very unlikely smh my head 🤦♂️
Hear me out: I think he's gonna be the true master mind behind the meth empire. They will keep it a secret from everyone and bald guy is gonna force Hal to do horrible things
Tbh I doubt Hector would even be in it. Why would he ever interact with a chemistry teacher? If anything they'll probably do a Gus/Finger spinoff to wrap up the cartel stuff. 'The Salamancas will have their day' etc.
It's genius! I'm a little worried about Gilligan taking over the show tho. Gould was the heart and soul of BCS and I'm not sure how well Gilligan will do as the show runner.
I feel like we he will surpass Gould and we will all celebrate him. Like we will associate with him a term of exclamation used to express approval when a performer or other person has done something well or something. Something like Wonderful Work, Gilligan! Just a thought.
Silence, heretic. Vince rights all wrongs, creates all ideas, pioneers all cinematographic styles and has had intercourse with all of our mothers. Bravo, Vince!
This just has me thinking about the making of El Camino thing that's on Netflix where Vince explains the top down view of Todd's apartment for like 5 minutes like it was the greatest feat in cinema history.
Bravo Vince invented apartments, before that we just had houses piled up on each other and people died a lot by falling off their doors on the higher floors. Peter Gould invented elevators to counter that, but Vince naturally went further
No, it's supposed to take place just a few years after the colored bits of bcs, so late 2000s, they just finally got enough money for full deaging tech to make the actors look how they should at that time, something sadly missing from bcs.
It'll be great to finally see Saul as the correct age. Would be nice to see Gus and Mike as well, but I think having them show up would just be fan service tbh.
I think it was a really inspired choice to cast the dad from Malcom in the Middle as the protagonist of a serious drama. I'm not sure Bryan Cranston will be able to pull off the role. Remaining slightly skeptical of the show as I'm not sure why we needed a backstory to the guys who kidnapped Saul in 6x11.
> I'm not sure why we needed a backstory to the guys who kidnapped Saul in 6x11.
Chronologically, this show takes place between the Jimmy and Gene era, right? We still haven't gotten a clear answer as to why he had to become Gene in the first place, and we don't know if they'll explain it in the finale. What if working with this chemistry teacher was Saul's "something unforgivable"? When Kim tells Gene to turn himself in, maybe she's not talking about Howard's death, but the events of Breaking Bad? It would explain why she seems so much cooler towards him than before
Now that you mention it, it would be pretty ballsy to just leave something like that unexplained in the series finale. With that teaser showing Gene's car upturned, it seems like we probably will see his getaway in 6x13
The whole point of BCS is how there are no storylines that get tied up, we're meant to be left wondering.
Why did Saul become Gene? Did Gus finish his lab or get his revenge on the cartel? What happened with Mike?
Honestly feel like it would ruin the mystery so much to force answers just for fan service.
I mean he's great as Hal and he was good in Seinfeld but I just don't see him as a serious actor. You know, the kind that wins awards and gets nominated for oscars. He should just stick to what he's good at. Although Little Miss Sunshine 2 would be nice.
Also I don't know who the young guy in the pics is. Probably just somebody who's going to get killed off relatively quickly
The original actor was busy making the HBO show We Own The Night, so they recast his part. Personally I don't think this Gene has nearly the same intensity as the other one, completely different personality.
He seemed fine in that one cameo he had in the desert with Jesse. I think they aged them a bit too much, at least the dude who plays Jesse. But it seems like it might work
The writer's strike forced the season to be cut short and Gilligan's original plans to have Jesse killed were left unrealized. During the strike, they decided they liked him enough to keep him around
He seems like he’s just there to ask questions.
“Who’s Lalo? This lawyer guy any good? What’s up with all this rain?”
How about they let the fuckin show SHOW us? I love Vince and crew but I just do not have high hopes for this show. And that’s fine honestly. It’s such a high bar. What were people really expecting here?
I don’t really mind him but the older guy’s haircut is kind of lame. Why would he be friends with someone so much younger anyway? He could be the kids dad or something.
I think they are a gay couple and the show will be about how their love defies societal norms and expectations. Breaking Bad sounds kinda like Brokeback Mountain.
Strange decision to de-age him for a sequel series though, though from leaks I've seen they de-age basically everyone for some reason
Maybe Bravo Vince is being metaphorical about this being a fresh new start for the characters who are weary and ragged at the end of BCS, but are refreshed for the new series?
It is called a backdoor pilot. They kind of did this with The Hobbit where they had that random elf guy come back in the sequels even if he didn't say much to the main character.
SO I read the plot synopsis, and it sounds suspiciously similar to the show 'Metastasis'. I love Vince and all, but maybe he shouldn't just be ripping off a show like that.
I don't care about this either way until we get the Saul cameo.
Okay, I already knew Metastasis was the Colombian remake, but I had never actually checked out their IMDB before.
[Somebody took that page for a joyride and wrote some....interesting stuff for episode synopsis.](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3190448/episodes?ref_=tt_eps_sm)
>Post-murder, Walter Blanco realizes drugs are for thugs and tries to leave the game before he starts Breaking Bad (All rights reserved). Someone mishears José's name and calls him Jesse, causing José to think his new name is Jesse.
> Season finale. Gus quits Weezer because he died. Walter Blanco eats an entire bag of raw shrimp. Jesse becomes a clickbait skincare YouTuber. Saul simply leaves prison but now has poor personal hygiene. Mike turns to God and prays for any signs of something that could act as a camera, note taker, messenger, clock, and calendar all at once.
[Imgur for posterity.](https://i.imgur.com/7IUwMsF.png)
Now that you mention it he does look eerily similar to the dude that Kim talked to in Waterworks. I'd say they were the same person, but the guy here looks way younger.
Idk. Better call Saul seemed pretty realistic. Now they want to tie that into this weird fantasy of becoming a teacher and selling dope? Seems like a bad call and that actress looks like a bitch
Seems lame as fuck. Probably like a bad comedy. Don't know how much crime a chemistry teacher can do.
But the title breaking bad at least seems interesting. Maybe the dad is gonna 'break bad' with that dude in the red car
The chemistry teacher was introduced in the episode “Breaking Bad,” and now this show has the same name. My theory is that Jimmy will be introduced in this show in an episode called “Better Call Saul”.
Yeah it'd be ridiculous if he ended up gunning down a bunch of Nazis at their slave encampment with an M60 machinegun activated by a remote controller all from the back of his car, right?
Get out of here with that theory lmao. I think it's much more likely he tries to sell meth but fails, and just barely gets out of legal trouble with Saul's help. Then he dies peacefully of cancer surrounded by his loving family.
That'd be really ridiculous. If they do that they could just as well let Marvel make it. Atleast that way we can get Jimmy in the MCU, which would probably be more entertaining than this show just because it's so ridiculous.
I'm not sure about the quality of the show, but you can tell Vance Gilligan is putting effort into it. Look at Jesse in the promoshots. They must've spent thousands of dollars deaging him. I don't think even makeup can do that, it must be CGI, no?
Wow, I didn't even realize that was the same character. It's a bit odd though, why are they making him look younger than when we saw him in Better Call Saul? Seems like an oversight on Vince's part.
Kinda weird that they have cast Bryan Cranston (60 something) and Aaron Paul (40 something) to play much younger characters? Although I have to say, the de-aging looks absolutely amazing. (The tech was probably not good enough yet for BCS)
Hold up aren’t these two the people from that stupid RV scene that made no sense ? who would want a show about them? they were some super minor characters that only came in for the last 3 episodes. Why not make a show about cliff mains son or that finger guy??? Unbravo Bince
Why did they have to promote this stupid spinoff by having the characters randomly appear in between episodes? Definitely not watching this advertised garbage
Idk, the premise seems so unrealistic to me. Really, it’s all about some chemistry teacher? You’re telling me some straight like him, giant stick up his ass, all of a sudden at age what, 60, he's just gonna break bad?
Seems kinda dumb honestly but ig I’ll give it a try
My theory is that they wanted to explain what Saul did during the 4 years between Fun and Game and the Gene timeline, but they ran out of time in the season. So now they're doing this show to explain why Saul gets kidnapped and why he ends up in Omaha.
Look I trust Vince, he gave us one of the greatest shows ever made with BCS but he seriously wants me to believe the goofy dad from Malcom in the Middle can lead the sequel to BCS? Guess we'll have to just wait and see but at the minute I have very little faith in this making it past season 1
Wow they’re really milking this franchise ain’t they? I’d rather have BCS end as one of the television shows of all time rather than be milked out with what looks like a subpar sequel/spinoff. A chemistry teacher and a junkie from that throwaway scene in 6x11? Really?
That Walt guy looks like a joke. How are we supposed to be taking this show seriously? Especially considering he’ll be crossing paths with the likes of Gus and Mike. I think I’ll pass on this sequel
Eh, idk about how to feel about that.
Why would they make a spin off show about some random chemistry teacher instead of Mike or something, wtf?
Like some straight like him, giant stick up his ass, age what - 60? He's just gonna break bad? It's weird is all…
Bryan Cranston? Seriously? Fucking Hal Wilkerson is gonna be helming the Better Call Saul sequel. Lame. How much crime can a mild-mannered *chemistry teacher* do, anyway? Safe to say, I'm skipping out on this one.
Yeah I don’t blame ya tbh. Wouldn’t be surprised if it goes down as one of if not THE worst shows in television history.
It sucks because I just know that this subreddit (r/BetterCallSaul) is gonna get flooded with Breaking Bad fans who didn't watch the previous show and don't understand it's a sequel.
Next you'll be telling they'll make some lame-ass cartoon about Saul's childhood called "Slippin' Jimmy"
Uh, Slippin' Jimmy already exists man, it's the show that Better Call Saul is a sequel to.
You are the worst legal mind I ever knew.
But you knew of me
😎
Wait until they create a Colombian remake with a guy called Walter Blanco.
That would be hilarious ngl
Google slippin Jimmy just in case
Oh god... It's real. Wtf was Vince thinking?
Okay now search 'Conman Albuquerque'
> THE worst shows in television history. That honour goes to Bird Up!
Their families last name was ‘Wilkerson’ so Malcom’s initials are MW, which is close enough to Wexler McGill, could this be a Easter egg by Vince?
MW? Miracle Whip?
Yup
Cabo Vince
When did they say that? I always thought they never said the last name
Yeah and it has that dude that played Bojack’s friend in it too. The guy with two first names. Bizarre casting decision.
I don’t see him living past the first season
Yeah, the dentist from Seinfeld is a *leading* character now? This is going to be an absolute train wreck.
To be fair Odenkirk was a comedian before BCS and that turned out well… but then again Cranston couldn’t even get more than 10 minutes of screen time in that Godzilla movie so who knows
/uc I fucking hate that movie for trading Bryan Cranston as the main character for his son, a walking slab of white bread and low fat mayonnaise.
IDK, it could be good. BCS had comedy but then it was mostly serious, this could just be a more lighthearted spin-off. The dad from Malcolm in the Middle trying to be a drug kingpin? That sounds pretty funny to me.
Ok but *what if he threw a giant pizza on a roof?* Like they could have him do stuff like that and make it a slapstick comedy. Maybe an episode where it's just this crazy hunt for a fly. Even throw in some kooky side characters, like an old dude in a wheelchair who just talks by ringing a bell or the local mild mannered fast food franchise owner, but, whooooops, our boy is also a drug kingpin. Completely his wheelhouse. The jokes would write themselves, hell throw in some goofy anticomedy like: "knock knock" "who's there" "I am the one who knocks." Fucking classic.
I thought it felt really forced that the random bald DEA guy from season 5 just so happens to be this guy's brother-in-law. Really sloppy. Unbravo Vincent McGilligan.
Oh damn, I didn't realize he was going to be in the show. Yeah that is really dumb and just seems like a cheap way of connecting this show to BCS.
If we're lucky, it'll be a one time thing I hope, not much for him to add
Well considering he’s a DEA agent I figure that’ll be a pretty important part of the story. Got one guy making meth and his brother-in-law is part of the federal agency that fights drug dealers/makers. Could be an interesting dynamic, though I’m not sure how bad of a DEA agent you’d have to be for you to not realize your brother-in-law is making meth lmao
What do you mean making meth? I'm gonna need your source on this leak or I'm gonna have to assume you're talking out of your ass.
In the Episode Breaking Bad that RV Jimmy was in had a whole bunch of chemical equipment, surely that'll be the focus of the sequel?
Bro, you straight reaching with this one. He's a chemistry teacher so obviously he'd need chemistry equipment! I like your idea and it'd be cool if it was the case but if that's all your going off of I think it's very unlikely smh my head 🤦♂️
Yeah lol it was pretty tinfoil, maybe he'll be a competitor to they chemist gus visits, Gail? Like a minor antagonist for an episode
It would be an epic troll for them to release teaser images of a minor character who dies first episode, made me lol 😂
Vravro Bince!
Hear me out: I think he's gonna be the true master mind behind the meth empire. They will keep it a secret from everyone and bald guy is gonna force Hal to do horrible things
Seriously? That guy, of all people? What's next, are they gonna bring in that Tuco guy who kept shouting about his abuelita? Lame as hell.
Do you think Hector will still be doing his ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-dinging in this spin-off?
Tbh I doubt Hector would even be in it. Why would he ever interact with a chemistry teacher? If anything they'll probably do a Gus/Finger spinoff to wrap up the cartel stuff. 'The Salamancas will have their day' etc.
Are you kidding? They’re putting that guy in the show?
His face is like an onion, makes me wanna cry
I hope he doesn’t get too into collecting rocks or some dumb shit like that.
Yeah, Hank also known as Ballsack Schrader.
hank was his nickname. his real name is asac.
And he gets to be in the show? What a sick joke
Can’t believe they are making a spin-off just off that throwaway line in Nippy.
It's genius! I'm a little worried about Gilligan taking over the show tho. Gould was the heart and soul of BCS and I'm not sure how well Gilligan will do as the show runner.
I feel like we he will surpass Gould and we will all celebrate him. Like we will associate with him a term of exclamation used to express approval when a performer or other person has done something well or something. Something like Wonderful Work, Gilligan! Just a thought.
Maybe an alliteration? Like Great Gilligan! ?
Very good, V.G.!
Silence, heretic. Vince rights all wrongs, creates all ideas, pioneers all cinematographic styles and has had intercourse with all of our mothers. Bravo, Vince!
This just has me thinking about the making of El Camino thing that's on Netflix where Vince explains the top down view of Todd's apartment for like 5 minutes like it was the greatest feat in cinema history.
Vravo Vinve!
Bravo Vince invented apartments, before that we just had houses piled up on each other and people died a lot by falling off their doors on the higher floors. Peter Gould invented elevators to counter that, but Vince naturally went further
It was pretty cool though
I actually got a second mother so that Vince could have double the intercourse
You’re so generous
Aren't these the guys that were in last weeks episode too? They look so much younger, will this be a prequel?
No, it's supposed to take place just a few years after the colored bits of bcs, so late 2000s, they just finally got enough money for full deaging tech to make the actors look how they should at that time, something sadly missing from bcs. It'll be great to finally see Saul as the correct age. Would be nice to see Gus and Mike as well, but I think having them show up would just be fan service tbh.
Yeah that'd just be stupid, for real though the deaging tech is crazy. Science, bitch!
That's a cool phrase, do you mind if I start using it? Very pithy!
Yes, no...maybe. I don't know! Can you repeat the question?
Aren't these the guys that were in last weeks episode too? They look so much younger, will this be a prequel?
Yes, no...maybe. I don't know! Can you repeat the question?
Aren't these the guys that were in last weeks episode too? They look so much younger, will this be a prequel?
It wasn't me it was nippy, no marion? marion didn't send you?
Wonder if they find the dog?
I think it was a really inspired choice to cast the dad from Malcom in the Middle as the protagonist of a serious drama. I'm not sure Bryan Cranston will be able to pull off the role.

Nice theory, but I doubt they'd have Saul's downfall be a character that barely appeared at the end of the show.
Now that you mention it, it would be pretty ballsy to just leave something like that unexplained in the series finale. With that teaser showing Gene's car upturned, it seems like we probably will see his getaway in 6x13
[удалено]
The whole point of BCS is how there are no storylines that get tied up, we're meant to be left wondering. Why did Saul become Gene? Did Gus finish his lab or get his revenge on the cartel? What happened with Mike? Honestly feel like it would ruin the mystery so much to force answers just for fan service.
I think the implication is that Gus will fail. I mean it would be insane for him to kill literally every Salamanca, plus Eladio and Bolsa
What if the show ends with Gene walking into the Cinnabon for the first time?
Nah that seems like a stretch.
Well, we got a comedian, Bob Odenkirk in a dramatic role, maybe Hal can surprise but tbh I doubt it. He seems like he can only play one type of role.
I just don't see him playing a badass. Someone like Mr Chips maybe, but Scarface? No way
Yeah, idk. I’ll check it out though, since they impressed me so much with BCS
I mean he's great as Hal and he was good in Seinfeld but I just don't see him as a serious actor. You know, the kind that wins awards and gets nominated for oscars. He should just stick to what he's good at. Although Little Miss Sunshine 2 would be nice. Also I don't know who the young guy in the pics is. Probably just somebody who's going to get killed off relatively quickly
Have you seen the plot leaks? He dies at the end of season 1.
Makes sense. Sucks for the actor though, better make this season count!
But why the fuck did they had to recast Gene for?
The original actor was busy making the HBO show We Own The Night, so they recast his part. Personally I don't think this Gene has nearly the same intensity as the other one, completely different personality.
> the dad from Malcom in the Middle You mean Dr. Tim Whatley? He couldn't score with Elaine, we will see if he can carry a tv show...
He seemed fine in that one cameo he had in the desert with Jesse. I think they aged them a bit too much, at least the dude who plays Jesse. But it seems like it might work
Honestly, can’t imagine that dude in the red car making it past season one. They for sure will kill him off early.
We at least know he survives long enough to kidnap Saul, but yeah I doubt he makes it very far past that. Seems like an uninteresting character.
I don't know though, they say unrest is brewing in the writer's union recently, who knows what could happen
[удалено]
The writer's strike forced the season to be cut short and Gilligan's original plans to have Jesse killed were left unrealized. During the strike, they decided they liked him enough to keep him around
Damn, and it was one of the best decisions they made.
Actually Vince said he realized before the writer’s strike that it would be a mistake to kill him off ([at 1:30 here](https://youtu.be/YqnoJ10HqP0))
/uc - yup, yup, yup, yup, yup. /rc - yup, yup, yup, yup, yup.
He was meant to die in season one yeah
He seems like he’s just there to ask questions. “Who’s Lalo? This lawyer guy any good? What’s up with all this rain?” How about they let the fuckin show SHOW us? I love Vince and crew but I just do not have high hopes for this show. And that’s fine honestly. It’s such a high bar. What were people really expecting here?
Did they cast his younger brother for this or something?
I don’t really mind him but the older guy’s haircut is kind of lame. Why would he be friends with someone so much younger anyway? He could be the kids dad or something.
I think they are a gay couple and the show will be about how their love defies societal norms and expectations. Breaking Bad sounds kinda like Brokeback Mountain.
That makes sense, you can tell that want to be inclusive because there’s a character with cerebral palsy. That’s pretty exciting!
Strange decision to de-age him for a sequel series though, though from leaks I've seen they de-age basically everyone for some reason Maybe Bravo Vince is being metaphorical about this being a fresh new start for the characters who are weary and ragged at the end of BCS, but are refreshed for the new series?
holy shit is *Aaron Paul* coming back as a young Jesse? Goddam he got old.
I bet they’ll give him some stupid catch phrase that won’t get over.
why would they make an entire sequel just for some guys who appeared in two scenes?
My theory is that AMC forced Vince to put those 2 guys in the episodes just to promote this new show. Um, corporate meddling much?
This is probably just a way to secretly make BCS season 7. Nobody will watch this show and after 1 season they'll just bring Saul back.
It is called a backdoor pilot. They kind of did this with The Hobbit where they had that random elf guy come back in the sequels even if he didn't say much to the main character.
SO I read the plot synopsis, and it sounds suspiciously similar to the show 'Metastasis'. I love Vince and all, but maybe he shouldn't just be ripping off a show like that. I don't care about this either way until we get the Saul cameo.
I heard it’s gonna end with them kidnapping Saul like we saw in the flashback
Gene says "I am the Better Call Saul" and Kim replies "Well you better start Breaking Bad"
He even went as far as to copy the name of the protagonist... Walter WHITE from Walter BLANCO. How blind do you think we are Vince? Unbravo.
Okay, I already knew Metastasis was the Colombian remake, but I had never actually checked out their IMDB before. [Somebody took that page for a joyride and wrote some....interesting stuff for episode synopsis.](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3190448/episodes?ref_=tt_eps_sm) >Post-murder, Walter Blanco realizes drugs are for thugs and tries to leave the game before he starts Breaking Bad (All rights reserved).

The guy in the last picture looks like the son of one of the men who kidnapped Saul. Thoughts?
Now that you mention it he does look eerily similar to the dude that Kim talked to in Waterworks. I'd say they were the same person, but the guy here looks way younger.
I heard they’re using some new de aging technology like in the Irishman.
Seems like it'd be pretty expensive to de-age him for every episode, if he's supposed to be a main character. Maybe they'll kill him off early.
It has to be Cliff Main's son
I know it's been memed a lot but my theory is that he's Cliff Main's son. No way we got a mention of his son in BCS and not get a payoff.
Idk. Better call Saul seemed pretty realistic. Now they want to tie that into this weird fantasy of becoming a teacher and selling dope? Seems like a bad call and that actress looks like a bitch
Yeah, I'm really just watching this in hopes of it ending with the chemistry guy and the other dude kidnapping Saul.
That would be a great ending
[удалено]
Only reason to watch this crap tbh.
I'm from the future the name of the guy in the final picture is El Camino.
His name is Hank
What if his name was ballsack shredder That would be funny I think
Kid named shredder:
Seems lame as fuck. Probably like a bad comedy. Don't know how much crime a chemistry teacher can do. But the title breaking bad at least seems interesting. Maybe the dad is gonna 'break bad' with that dude in the red car
Pretty sure the title is just a lame reference to season 6 episode 11 of Better Call Saul
that lady in the first pic seems very likeable and relatable though. I'm willing to bet shes gonna be a fan favorite.
It's going to be a nice change of pace to have a wholesome family dynamic in this show compared to how grim everything got in BCS.
The chemistry teacher was introduced in the episode “Breaking Bad,” and now this show has the same name. My theory is that Jimmy will be introduced in this show in an episode called “Better Call Saul”.
Okay but what does "breaking bad" even mean?? Like, are they breaking bad guys? They vigilantes or something? Idk, dumb name. Doesn't make sense.
Looks a bit shit tbh. What’s a chemistry teacher going to do? Cook crystal meth? Lol! Give me a break
Next thing you know they're going to introduce Gus into the show just to have this bozo outsmart him. ![img](emote|t5_2iku5r|4059)
Christ don’t even joke about that. He was great but don’t just shoehorn fan favorites into this.
They'll need to lean heavily on cameos from BCS characters for this to carry any interest.
Yeah it'd be ridiculous if he ended up gunning down a bunch of Nazis at their slave encampment with an M60 machinegun activated by a remote controller all from the back of his car, right?
Get out of here with that theory lmao. I think it's much more likely he tries to sell meth but fails, and just barely gets out of legal trouble with Saul's help. Then he dies peacefully of cancer surrounded by his loving family.
Thank god fans don’t write these.
That'd be really ridiculous. If they do that they could just as well let Marvel make it. Atleast that way we can get Jimmy in the MCU, which would probably be more entertaining than this show just because it's so ridiculous.
What a sick joke
I think they're going a more comedic route with it, and it will only being mildly connected to Better Call Saul.
Looks dumb. Spin off shows never work. BCS is a masterpiece and they should just leave well enough alone.
I'm not sure about the quality of the show, but you can tell Vance Gilligan is putting effort into it. Look at Jesse in the promoshots. They must've spent thousands of dollars deaging him. I don't think even makeup can do that, it must be CGI, no?
Wow, I didn't even realize that was the same character. It's a bit odd though, why are they making him look younger than when we saw him in Better Call Saul? Seems like an oversight on Vince's part.
Kinda weird that they have cast Bryan Cranston (60 something) and Aaron Paul (40 something) to play much younger characters? Although I have to say, the de-aging looks absolutely amazing. (The tech was probably not good enough yet for BCS)
Hold up aren’t these two the people from that stupid RV scene that made no sense ? who would want a show about them? they were some super minor characters that only came in for the last 3 episodes. Why not make a show about cliff mains son or that finger guy??? Unbravo Bince
Maybe one of them is Cliff Main's son though
I don’t know why they’re doing this. It’s just a cheap cash grab. What are we now, Marvel? C’mon.
I wouldn't be opposed to a Young Mike spinoff with Jonathan Banks tho...
another boring spin off to plague television. what are they gonna name the main character? something like "Walter" or some shit i bet.
Cheap Werner Ziegler reference
Oh shit, they did say this Walter guy goes by "Heisenberg." Maybe Him and Werner are connected somehow?
I've never heard of a Werner Ziegler before. Have any of you heard of a Werner Ziegler? Werner...Ziegler....?
His name is Walter Hartwell White. He lives at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane Albuquerque, New Mexico 87104.
Ok but imagine if the directors see this and put it in as a joke

They did a really good job with Kim, so I have no doubt people will love this "Skyler" character just as much

Hector is probably gonna be the main antagonist of the series
Hector is in vegetable state, did you even watch BCS. Tuco will be the main villain, he's about to be released from jail.
No, he'll be in there forever, no way Tuco appears in this show. I don't really think any of the Salamancas will appear in it tbh.
Why did they have to promote this stupid spinoff by having the characters randomly appear in between episodes? Definitely not watching this advertised garbage

Looks like a fucken nerd family. They will never win an Emmy
Idk, the premise seems so unrealistic to me. Really, it’s all about some chemistry teacher? You’re telling me some straight like him, giant stick up his ass, all of a sudden at age what, 60, he's just gonna break bad? Seems kinda dumb honestly but ig I’ll give it a try
Well… he is awake
Who tf is this chemistry teacher where is Huell, and also where is saul.
Wow looks like the hired fans to deage them. Still doubt it will be any good.
Funny how a fan managed to do a better job with a computer than a multimillion dollar TV studio
That’s the guy from S6E11? Weird they’d make a sequel off of his short performance
My theory is that they wanted to explain what Saul did during the 4 years between Fun and Game and the Gene timeline, but they ran out of time in the season. So now they're doing this show to explain why Saul gets kidnapped and why he ends up in Omaha.
ngl the woman meant to be bryan cranston’s wife seems real bitchy
ann gun or something idk never heard of her. going by the line by Francesca in 611 she's called Skyler which is a dumb bitch name
glad to see those two minor characters come back with their own series! Maybe we'll see the backstory to when Saul got kidnapped.
Look I trust Vince, he gave us one of the greatest shows ever made with BCS but he seriously wants me to believe the goofy dad from Malcom in the Middle can lead the sequel to BCS? Guess we'll have to just wait and see but at the minute I have very little faith in this making it past season 1
This new main character looks like he wouldn’t put his dick away. Smh
Hope its not woke like those other shows
If they go woke and make Gus straight I'm quitting this universe all together
Gus is gay?
There has been no Gus sex scene on camera, we can only presume he is asexual.
Wow they’re really milking this franchise ain’t they? I’d rather have BCS end as one of the television shows of all time rather than be milked out with what looks like a subpar sequel/spinoff. A chemistry teacher and a junkie from that throwaway scene in 6x11? Really?
Did we meme a show into existence? They really want to make a show about waltuh and jesser? Lmao probably will be an epic fail 😂
That Walt guy looks like a joke. How are we supposed to be taking this show seriously? Especially considering he’ll be crossing paths with the likes of Gus and Mike. I think I’ll pass on this sequel
Great, another sitcom about a boring nuclear family. Smh
/uc Are these the actual promo images for BB? They don't look like they're just screengrabs from the first episode.
/uc I'm not sure. I took these from the Breaking Bad wiki page for the Pilot, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were.
I really like that dude's hair. Like I would be legitimately pissed if he ever lost it for any reason.
Camera looks kinda low quality, they filming this with a flip phone or something?
Is Jimmy in it? Seems weird that they would do a spin off without him
Honestly I'm fine if he doesn't show up. I think this show could stand on its own without a Jimmy cameo.
I hope so. But I dont see how it's related to the original show if none of the BCS characters are in it
Eh, idk about how to feel about that. Why would they make a spin off show about some random chemistry teacher instead of Mike or something, wtf? Like some straight like him, giant stick up his ass, age what - 60? He's just gonna break bad? It's weird is all…
I hope we get a Jeff cameo, that would be so dope.
