Brick is a really great film. Rian Johnson is kind of amazing purely based on that.

(If I had to sell it, I'd describe it as Veronica Mars but really really weird. Funny too -- less funny ha-ha and more funny strange, though.)

It's good. Goons should watch it.

I feel like Jesse or anyone else who survived BB could eventually show up, because the Cinnabon storyline is most definitely leading up to something. There's no reason present day Saul can't have a chance encounter with someone from his past.

You would have to be diagnosable retarded to not think he was the manager

I was going to say "well to be fair maybe they've never gone into a fast food place", but unless you don't know what a manager even is it would be easy to tell that Gus is the man in charge at Los Pollos Hermanos.

Are they wearing a smock, branded polo with name tag and/or a stupid hair or hair net? No? Then they're probably the manager or franchise owner.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I love this show and the acting is superb. I can see how they would have the present day Cinnabon plot lead to a chance encounter. What happened with Walter White at the end of BB? He got on a bus or something?

There was never a chick-fil-a near me growing up and I never saw commercials or anything so I said "chick fill uh" until I was like 20.

I was born and raised in eastern Canada, and we don't have Chick-fil-a there. Until the anti-gay thing happened, and I heard it on the news, I totally thought it was Chick Filluh, and I didn't get it. But Chick-fil-a (Chick fillet) makes more sense.

I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius

That scene where he's driving at night must be the scene they were talking about in the podcast. The parts shot from inside the car are Jonathan banks actually driving and they kept telling him to drive faster because the rain didn't match up with the shot from outside when the car was being towed. He didn't have his glasses and couldn't see.

The Cinnabon encounter should be with someone actually on Better Call Saul. I don't know how that will happen in a way that makes sense to people who only watched this show though, especially at the show's current pace.

Assuming Kim bails on him sometime this season, it's fairly reasonable to assume that's who it'll be.

Also re: Huell, I'm definitely expecting to see him and the other guy since they were directly working for Saul in BB.

Maybe it doesn't even qualify, I just mean nobody's ever used the phrase "chick fillet" in my experience. It bewilders me what they thought they were pulling off.

Chick Fil A is bad because their breading is thick and soggy. If you want decent fast food chicken that doesn't help fund fanatical bigots, go to Raising Cane's.

If you live in College Station/Bryan, go to Lane's. It's the exact same poo poo for half the price.

They built a Cane's like 3 blocks from my house recently. It's dangerous. I get it at least once a week now.

Go to Raising Cane's where their breading is even more soggy?

I think the person most likely to see Gene is Kim. She sometimes has a Kansas City Royals shirt on, so she's from the midwest. I don't know if she's said exactly where she's from, the breaking bad wiki doesn't say anything about that. It's possible she's from somewhere in Nebraska near Missouri or anywhere northwest of Kansas City and she ends up going to Omaha for some reason. Then she stops by a mall to get a cinnabon.

They never specify if the chicken place is a fried chicken place or a fried chicken tender place, maybe they can solve this with another series?

The difference is huge.

In Breaking Bad Season 3 Episode 9, "Kafkaesque", we see a Los Pollos Hermanos commercial depicting the restaurant's chicken as bone-in rather than filets/tenders. However, this commercial shows whole rotisserie chickens, fading into wings that have been breaded and fried-- two very different cooking methods-- so the canon is not necessarily consistent here.

My head-canon is that Los Pollos Hermanos is basically Pollo Campero. Spicy fried chicken with a bunch of region-specific authentic dishes.
