Their scheme only makes sense for someone who plans to either disappear forever or reappear with a reasonable explanation. What exactly were the Kettlemans planning on saying when they returned to civilization? "It was horrible being kidnapped and all but thank God we escaped! And please don't talk to our kids, they're bad liarstraumatized."

A treasurer dumb enough to get caught embezzling probably is somewhat less of a criminal mastermind than Walter White is at this particular moment, somewhere else in Albuquerque.
Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.

I want Nacho to be this show's Jesse. Michael Mando is just the bestest.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

Yeah, those dudes are played as immensely stupid. Their "plan" seemed entirely in character.
I submitted an entry to Lego Ideas, and if 10,000 people support me, it'll be turned into an actual Lego set!If you'd like to see and support my submission, follow this link.
i love that his name is nacho and no one acts weird about it.
It's apparently short for Ignacio, which is the name Saul throws out in season 2 when Walt and Jesse kidnap him. ;D
oh man we're definitely going to be seeing breaking bad from saul's perspective.
I'm pretty sure the plan would be to end the series with him meeting Walter. Pretty sure Gilligan doesn't want to repeat himself.
The cold open from the first episode left me with the impression that eventually the show will flash forward to Saul after the events of Breaking Bad to continue the story, which would be interesting assuming Saul has something to do besides drunkenly watch tapes of his old commercials. Perhaps there is unfinished business for him that we do not yet know about.
The last episode of the series is going to cut back to that opening scene from the series opener. Two men will break in, the camera shot will change to outside looking from the street. You'll hear a couple silenced gunshots, fade to black, Executive Producer: Vince Gilligan.

But then post credits:
A bag is pulled off Saul's head. He's in a strip club! He was kidnapped for his bachelor party by all his friends and has a great night on the town! Everyone is laughing and happy!
please I need some joy in my life don't kill jimmy please

I think the pilot opener is essentially a coda to the story of Jimmy/Saul. I doubt we'll be going back to that time period, but I've been surprised by Vince Gilligan before.
Also if BrBa is anything to go off, Vince Gilligan no longer plans stuff out ahead, despite how well it all works out. IIRC writing Season 2 was a negative experience for them, so they wrote everything else as they went along. When they filmed Walt buying the M60 at Dennys, they had no idea how they were gonna get there. Could totally believe that BCS intro is all they have planned... for now.

maybe or just skip over it and we get a season of post-bb saul. the ignacio relation stuff is interesting but it depends on how many seasons they want to do.

I'm not sure that could happen. Pretty sure Saul disappeared to hide from the police at the end, and at the very least nazis. Nazis are all dead and the police wouldn't execute him
maybe i'm streaming terrible dj right now if i am its here

Actually, how come Saul vacuum repaired himself anyway? IIRC, he was reacting to Hank getting murdered. Did he have any reason to think the nazis knew about him, or that the police would connect him to Walt?
Oh brilliant

I'm certainly a bit late to the party in this... but just finished up watching the whole of this show on netflix.
It was good. I was anticipating it being much better than it was based on all the praise it gets. The characters in general were certainly great to be sure.
But it also frustrated the hell out of me because so many things just seemed so contrived to purposefully set up things to go the worst way possible.
Walter was a brilliant guy... he had a massive ego to be sure, and sabotaged so much for himself because of it.
But yet, he knew he screwed up several times, and they show he learns from his mistakes in the show to a pretty large degree.
So things like getting drunk when he knows he's prone to slipping up when not in full control. Leaving that notebook around in the bathroom, etc. All are things that are out of character.
Same with situations where he comes in and just says all the wrong things and NEVER brings up the right ones.
The end, with his son, was equally out of character. Jr had shown a complete willingness to put his trust in his father. He sat there and flat out said he wanted his side before he'd believe anything his mom or aunt told him.
And yet he wouldn't even let his father explain himself when things got heated.
Jesse's cancelling his pick up is another. The poison cig wasn't even used, but he still randomly jumped to that when he, for all he knew, lost a bag of weed moments before taking off to start a new life.
There were just so many little things like that which threw me off and made me roll my eyes. It's one thing to set up bad things happened, but you have to do it in a way that doesn't seem to clash with the show.
All in all, a good show. But I wouldn't put it in my top 5, maybe not even top 10... just too much that threw me out of it and/or frustrated me.

I really liked Cranston in Drive.

You know...I think that would be a bad idea...but part of me would be ok with this.

took me a bit to get my bearings but it really should have been obvious from the first shot.

really smart. a lot of effort put into being a good guy. terrible on the execution though and an extraordinary amount of blowback for all your effort.
keep breaking my heart Saul. You do it oh so well.

But yeah, I'd prefer he not die...it's just that almost everyone touched by Walter White ended up with a shitty life, or dead.
Badger and Skinny Pete did okay, they got to pretend to be snipers and everything!

Maybe to the first, definitely to the second.
