Mods, feel free to NOT move this to CD so I can discuss this upcoming NETFLIX EVENT on October 11 with my TV/IV brethren. I drove my beat-up ride all throughout this desert of a forum and I couldn't find a thread for it.

Been itching to see what happened after our boy Jesse Pinkman broke out of the skinhead Nazi compound? Will there be a connection to Better Call Saul like my wild imagination has been projecting? Ghost Mike? Ghost Walt?

We'll find out in less than two weeks.

🚣RowboatMan: ❄️Freezing time🕰️ is an old P.I. 🥧trick...

I was looking for a thread like this (or at least a BCS pre-season 5 thread) the other day, and was actually surprised that I couldn't find one. Thanks for making this :toot:

So.... who do you think is the one asking Jesse if he's 'ready'? And what is he ready for? :ohdear:

I'm trying to think what loose ends there are for him to chase up and I'm coming up blank. It's edited in a way to make it look like a revenge movie but that might just be marketing.

Yeah, Jesse's adversaries who are dead:

- Walt
- Jack and his nazi crew
- Lydia
- Declan and his guys
- Hank and Gomez
- Gus

So... like... is he going to take on the cartel? The DEA?

Dunno, this is a tough one. Maybe the people Lydia was working with in the Czech Republic making a visit to see why there was radio silence in the US (because everyone was dead)

Brock.

There's a picture of him and his mom is in the trailer. Jesse's relationship with Andrea and her murder was his emotional flashpoint in the last season of BB.

And iirc, in the Talking Bad finale, Aaron Paul talked about how Jesse would immediately try to find Brock when he got away from the nazis.

I just rewatched the last few episode of Breaking Bad and I don't think I can watch this. I really don't want to revisit the misery and horror that show left off with. Jesus Christ I think the one of the scenes in the trailer is a flashback of the nazis forcing him to bury Andrea.

Nope.

I think its more likely he is making amends as much as possible before he goes away, which could include Brock, his friends, Marie (The police cars being Hank's funeral), Mike's daughter, maybe Walt's family last, I could see flashbacks for Mike and a surprise Walt flashback towards the end.

This isn’t the case. Gilligan hasn’t really been involved in Saul post-s3 outside from directing one episode of s4, largely because he’s been working on this. The Saul delay is for separate reasons.

Source on any of this? Gilligan has been heavily involved in breaking stories in the writer’s room for season four IIRC and talked about doing so in the BCS podcast every week

Oh yeah, he's definitely "less involved" for sure, but that's different than "not really involved." Season two's the only season where Gilligan directed more than one episode. (He did two).

The Finer Arts > TV IV > El Camino: Better Call Paul

Normally I would say this sounds like a lovely cash grab and a horrible idea that will do nothing but tarnish the legacy of BB, but I also in no way believed that Saul Goodman could carry a one hour drama series and welp. At this point I'm willing to give Vince and co. the benefit of the doubt and at least be cautiously optimistic.

Most interested in how much Cranston action we're going to get via new flashbacks.

It's weird. I really love Breaking Bad but I don't know how much I'm clamoring for us to return to Jesse's character. He ended up horribly traumatized, his life in shambles, but...with a little bit of ambiguous hope at the end of the show. I don't how much I really need to see him struggling to survive anymore - because as the trailer shows and what the most plausible scenario for him here on out and is on constant run from the cops and his life.

I think it was quite a bit more than that, but i can't remember for sure. Either way, the money's gonna be pretty difficult one to find unless Jesse finds a clue somewhere since anyone who knows where the money's at is dead.

Yeah, his life is certainly is going to be rough, but I have to imagine that things will look up for Jesse in the end and maybe he gets a bit more closure than we see at the end of BB. I want to believe that Gilligan and co have a good story to tell if they're bringing him back. I was skeptical about BCS for similar reasons, but they managed to give us a really good story we never even knew we needed.

For whatever it's worth, some site had an interview with Aaron Paul, who described how he just went silent for a long time when he first read the end of El Camino. He was just stunned after reading it, and had to take a while to process it all. That could just be clickbait-y info, probably is, but hey, if it's not... :toot:?

Could be Jesse knows where the money is, because he probably was forced to help bury it. They were never letting him leave alive anyway.

I don't think Jack's gang was dumb enough to do that, honestly. They weren't the brightest bulbs, but letting a "rat" know where your money was hidden seems out-of-character and frankly insane for them

No, that didn't happen.

The only nazis who survived the m60 were Jack and Todd, who were then killed by Walt and Jesse respectively.

Whenever I see both of those deaths, I'm reminded of how horrified Walt was when he killed Krazy 8 with the bike lock, and how Jesse was traumatized by having to shoot Gale. And now, their final kills in the show are the opposite of their first. Neat.
