This looks really good. Let’s hope it is. ---

Something just occurred to me. In the first trailer: [spoiler]Skinny Pete talks about what he saw on the news about Jesse being kept in that hole and forced to cook. How would anyone know who, if anyone, was kept in the hole? And how would anyone know that he was forced to cook? In fact how would anyone know that the fleeing person was Jesse? Could there have been another survivor? One who is in custody? In the second trailer, the news announcement mentions 9 male bodies. I have to look back at that last epsiode and do a head count.[/spoiler] ---

Good point. I just rewatched it, and if you count Walt, Todd, and the guard outside, I get 11 bodies. Todd wasn’t shot, so perhaps the 9 mentioned don’t include Walt and Todd? ---

I watched that scene on Youtube and I tried counting but everything happened too fast, so I’ll take your word for it. So maybe Walt didn’t die. But really, how much time did he have left with the cancer? ---

I’ll be watching. Meanwhile, I wonder what the article “a” means in the subtitle. Not “\*The \*Breaking Bad Movie”, but “\*A \*Breaking Bad Movie”. Hmm. ---

Set in the BB Universe, but not BB. Can’t have BB without Walt. You just can’t. ---

> [@BlankSlate](#): > > But you _can_ have Walt. In flashback. Assuming he died, of course. The Hollywood Reported article mentions that the RV meth lab was spotted in the ABQ area last year. Since the RV was crushed during BB, if it is indeed the meth lab RV that has to mean at least one flashback with a high probability of Walt showing up… ---

[Apparently Jonathan Banks let it slip that he is in it](https://www.indiewire.com/2019/09/jonathan-banks-breaking-bad-movie-mike-timeline-1202176016/). Since we know Mike is dead, that pretty much confirms there will be flashbacks. That opens the door for Walt to be in those flashbacks, too. ---

To quote Detective Kalanchoe/Mundt, “You’re no boy scout”. It would be harder to establish his being forced, although the chains would be an indication.[/spoiler] ---

What’s the consensus on Jesse getting a happy ending? Should he? ---

What if Walt came back as an “apparition” of some sort? I’m not saying that I think that’ll happen or is likely. Wasn’t Tony haunted by Big Pussy a few times? Perhaps I’m wrong. I’m not saying a ghost. It might be stupid, but I don’t rule anything out anything. ---

No Spoilers. Cannot tell you how thrilled I am that this is dropping Friday. Just finished watching my highlights to catch up. Who else is ready? I honestly forgot the excellence after not watching it for a few years. The pics from the premiere were lovely. They all seemed delighted to be there. Yay. Come on Friday!! ---

Going to rewatch tonight or tomorrow. For now I’ll say it’s good. Certainly doesn’t ruin any kind of legacy. ---

I Thought it was quite good. It kind of did feel like that part of Jesse’s story needed to be told to truly wrap up things, especially since Saul gets his story told. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/oct-on-netflix-el-camino-a-breaking-bad-movie-spoilers/840470.md?page=2)
