Season 6 should have a Walt cameo, but it's just him at the car wash washing Saul's car, and that's it.

Walt was weird in that Pinkman movie. That whole deal was strange, in fact. Did that chop shop duel scene make any kind of sense?

I think I'd prefer the extent of a Walt cameo being a flashback or Saul seeing his death on the news, having them run into each other while they're both in hiding is small world fan wank.

That's why it should be something insignificant. Like having somebody getting their car washed before he was a drug dealer. Like here's Walt just being the good guy Walt.

The death of the Esteem coincident with Saul fully embracing "friend of the cartel" and getting a gigantic payday suggest that we're gonna see LWYRUP early next season. I'm into it.

I thought briefly that they might actually go down that road in the story and it would have probably been very cheesy but also very entertaining. I actually think this is a bit of a missed opportunity, at least on paper. Walt jr. didn't have all that much to do on the show, typically, and I think it would basically been the fudge on the season 4 sundae if while Walt was worrying about Gus killing him and his family, his son was heading off to Pollos to work 3-5 times a week. At a minimum it's a nice bit of little inter-family drama if Jr. is working there in season 3, then Walt insists he quit the job in season 4, or he gets Skyler to do it so he can remain the "cool dad" which is some extra stress on that already incredibly strained marriage. It's also another way to show how the initial relationship between Gus and Walt seems like it would be super professional and business-like and an important employee having his kid work at his boss' company is some pretty standard business stuff. After how crazy his drug life had been to that point, I can see Walt really enjoying the idea of dropping off his kid at Pollos, heading to the lab to cook, then picking Jr. up after, and Gus would love this idea for very obvious reasons, both before and after that professional relationship sours. I haven't been able to think of many places where Breaking Bad's story could've been improved, but this seems like a clear frontrunner for how it could've been spiced up just that little extra bit without really straining the characters involved or the story as a whole. It makes me curious what little potential missed opportunities BCS might have once it's all said and done. Does anyone have ideas on that front based on Better Call Saul so far?

There's kinda the whole thing where BCS started out as more of a comedy and slowly introduced more and more elements of Breaking Bad.

Saul is the comic relief in Breaking Bad: Episode I at this point. I'm enjoying that show, though! I always thought the car wash and fake gambling strategy were incredibly dumb when Madrigal exists as a plot device. Give Walt a job with a nice title and now you're laundering $6digits + generous health insurance coverage, instead of having to awkwardly bluff about a fake gambling strategy while pretending to subsist on the leavings of a mediocre car wash. It gives him way more to lose, which he inevitably does, because he's an rear end in a top hat. I dunno about "missed" but that timeline is feasible and interests ME at least

And thus Saul is unable to get Walk the hookup with them. It might be possible for Gus to have done it for Walt, but it seems there was never a lot of trust there for that... Although that's probably a big hole that season 6 needs to fill, how Saul gets involved with laundering money for clients. Or maybe it's Kim doing it with her banking knowledge.

poo poo that's right, I totally didn't put together that Kim could be super good at laundering money with her banking law knowledge. That actually leads to a point in the "Kim's not around in BB" column, since Saul's ideas were pretty much money laundering 101 and not anything fancy, the fake website donations was as fancy as it got and that was a pure Saul idea in the room with Walt.

He already made the mistake of letting her get involved with crime once and they both almost got murdered by Lalo. I doubt he's going to bring her in on Walt's crimes.

Considering that they gave the bell a backstory what are the odds that Beneke Fabricators makes an appearance as one of the early attempts at money laundering, and them backing out after finding Ted untrustworthy puts him in the position of cooking the books the avoid losing his family business.

Pulling in actual BB cast for anything more than cameos a la Hank and Gomey is almost doomed for failure. Even Cranston was only in El Camino for a single 2 minute flashback and even that was a little sketchy. I have to imagine the writers know this and will avoid it unless it really works.

One thing I've noticed while watching the show is that Jimmy and Kim are probably less thrifty spenders together than they are individually because they think that it's making the other one happier than it's really making them, though that's mostly just been fantasizing about the future and in the last episode Kim shut down the "let's buy a $1 million house" suggestion fast

I wouldn't say that AMC has marketed the hell out of BCS or anything, but both the network and the BCS crew have really put out a steady stream of youtube stuff that ties into the show and while I don't think it's necessarily turned people into viewers who weren't already, at least not at a particularly high rate, it's always been fun to see.

He certainly be getting offers to create and direct any show or movie he wants at this point, and I'm very interested in seeing what he does after everything breaking bad related is finished. A western with some of those breaking bad camera/dialogue flourishes and with the same crew sounds really good on paper, and I wouldn't put it past Gilligan to come up with some kind of crazy basic story hook in the pilot that's on par with "Teacher starts cooking meth". That's also a genre that feels like it's due for a story shakeup that isn't about the standard cowboys, robbers, and sheriffs dynamic. They're so intrinsic to the genre I don't think you'd ever remove them entirely, but I think there could be a fun angle there that just hasn't quite been explored yet.

What do you guys think will be the 'something unforgiveable' that Kim & Jimmy are going to do to Howard? At this point that pretty much has to involve Chuck, in my mind. Either something surrounding his death or fraud big enough to warrant Howard's disbarment, possibly involving Mesa Verde.

I had a wild thought that they may try to build on the prostitution thing that already had witnesses at the restaurant and do something like frame him for soliciting minors or something

Maybe they dig for info that they can build something ridiculous off of and then it turns out that Howard IS hiding something terrible and maybe they use it intentionally maybe it comes out unintentionally.

Whatever happens with Howard, it seems very unlikely to connect with the cartel plot. For the first few seasons yeah I guess I can stomach the two plots being only tangentially related but in the final season it's a little weird.
