@@SovereignMax Nope. The quality will inevitably decline if they start making heaps of spinoffs. I'd much rather them finish off Better Call Saul and leave it at that. Besides, I think it would be more interesting to see what Gilligan can do with an all fresh idea outside of the BB universe.

I'm currently re-watching BB and finding that I don't enjoy it quite as much as Better Call Saul.

[@wizardmix]

I like "Better Call Saul" more: Firstly because I've been an admirer Bob Odenkirk's comedic genius going back to the early 90s but especially in the "Mr. Show" years with David Cross. The fact that a man only known for comedy (and the comic relief of "Breaking Bad") could go so head-first into a dramatic role and NAIL IT is a thrill. The second reason is because it's giving all the lovable baddies of "Breaking Bad" a second go, a greater dive into the complexity of their characters. The writing is just as good as "Breaking Bad" with the security of knowing the expiration date of many of the characters.

[@simonaiello2349]

My opinion is that they are both perfect in their own way. Breaking Bad is a very plot driven show. Although they do spend a lot of time on the characters, the main focus is the plot. That makes the show a very fast paced, action packed rollercoaster ride. The genius of it is that the character development is still very well done, which is what sets Breaking Bad apart from every other plot driven show. Better Call Saul however is a very character driven show. The plot takes a backseat, and we spend a lot more time simply watching the characters interact and grow. This means the plot is much more of a slow burn, and takes a lot longer to build up. During all that time, the characters are able to be fleshed out so much more, so although the plot isn't as exciting as Breaking Bad's, the characters within the plot are way more interesting and engaging to watch.

[@wizardmix]

​@@simonaiello2349 That's right on. Fantastic analysis. I really do like slower character-driven plots so it makes sense why I like BCS as much as I do. There's a great deal of that "silent film" type acting Kubrick was famous for in this series -- where often silent, prolonged the expressions of each character speak volumes without words. Those gaps are pure magic. The sleep driving accident scene was AMAZING, I've never seen anything done so perfect to how it would be in real life and how it made us a part of that experience. We are all truly spoiled because in this day and age we are enjoying cinematic art in long form. This is a new golden age.

[@banana9737]

Number 68, the worlds best lawyer thing, could also be a easter egg from when Odenkirk almost became Michael Scott

[@repussified]

Ed was probably just referring to the fact Jimmy gave up his life as Saul and went into hiding. Since El Camino takes place immediately after Breaking Bad it doesn't seem likely his ultimate fate happened yet.

Why do people always assume a character will "transition" to another personality in an exact point of the story? I've heard comments like "this is the point where Walt transforms into Heisenberg" or "this is where Jimmy becomes Saul" while it's totally inaccurate. Can't people just accept that it's a long, progressive transition? Cause that's the purpose of Breaking Bad and Better Sall Saul to begin with.

This show is extremely American playing on regional stereotypes - Southwest, Chicago, Philadelphia - to name a few. Well done it must have taken forever to put this together.

[@chickendrawsdogs3343]

Unlike a certain big-budget zombie and dragon show where the writers just stopped giving a fuck, there are a lot of conscious, deliberate decisions made to make Better Call Saul as good as it is by Vince and his crew (and no joke, in some areas even better than Breaking Bad). Small set, intimate character studies, committed performances by the actors...That's quality!
