Or, The Further Adventures of Jesse Pinkman
I’m guessing that Jesse knows where Jack’s white supremacist gang hid all the money before they were wiped out and the cops are hot on his trail. He was probably detailed to dig the hidey-hole since they planned to kill him in the end anyway.
It could go lots of different ways. I’m going to trust Vince Gilligan and hope for something worthy of the show.
Actually, it’s “El Camino, A Breaking Bad Movie”, which sorta sounds like the “A Star Wars Story” films, so maybe they hope for several BB films.
Note that the movie will air first on Netflix but will air on AMC later. So the non-Netflix subscribers like me will still be able to watch it. We’ll just have to wait.
Who’s the guy they’re grilling? His chest tattoo looks familiar but I don’t recall him from BB.
That’s Sneaky Pete. This scene about Star Trek from season 5 might jog your memory.
:smack: Of course!
thanks!
Skinny Pete.
Ha ha, yeah. Sneaky Pete is that other guy.
I normally don’t like things like this. The series is finished just let it be. That’s the problem with the industry these days: too many sequels and reboots and remakes.
That said I’ll just have to trust Vince that he knows what he’s doing. I didn’t think the idea for Better Call Saul was that great but I love the show now.
I thought Better Call Saul was a terrible idea, given that every prequel in history has sucked rocks. But now I think it’s often better than Breaking Bad. So I trust Vince’s judgment.
At the end of Breaking Bad, I was curious: what next for Jesse?
Now I get to find out. Stoked.
Is this why it’s taken so long between BCS S4 and S5? I mean, Jonathan Banks is not getting any younger.
Also, unrelated, but remember the good old days when TV seasons were 20 or so episodes long?
Spoiler alert: he becomes a high school chemistry teacher and then learns that he has cancer.
I’d rather have a season of 10 really good episodes than 20 average eps
I read somewhere that the new BCS season was delayed because of difficulty scheduling talent. I don’t know if anyone in the movie is in BCS though
Damn, now I wish they had made Todd somehow survive the end of BB, because he would make one hell of an antagonist for this.
Thing is, most of the characters from the original show are dead at this point, including Mike. Skyler, Betsy, JJ, Skinny Pete, Badger, Huell, and Kuby are the most significant characters to survive (aside from Saul Goodman, who’s in hiding).
When Jesse fled at the end of Breaking Bad, I couldn’t help but think he would be caught within 20 minutes. He was emotionally and physically shattered, with no money, driving a highly recognizable car, and his only allies were the master criminals Skinny Pete and Badger, who the cops would be looking for as soon as they knew Jesse was on the lam. So it will be interesting to see if Gilligan can make his escape plausible.
I was thinking more along the lines of VG is too busy writing/directing a movie to explain why BCS writing/production seems to have been put on the back burner. My concern with Mike is that he’s not getting any younger. He seems to be the one whose age is really showing of all the main characters in relation to their age at the beginning of BB. Him and Salamanca. Maybe he’s looking to get the makeup department some Emmy love this season.
Who do you mean by JJ?
He was the son Walt, Jr. ? (R.J., not J.J., I’m pretty sure)
I so wish Better Call Saul comes back, probably not till next spring.
It’s been a while since I have watched the last season, but how would they know Jesse was on the lam? It’s not like the cops knew he was being held captive. Or am I forgetting something?
