Anyone else watch this after The Walking Dead last Sunday night?
I also watched the second episode Monday night.
It looks like a prequel to the "Breaking Bad" series.
I was a little confused until I figured that out.
This looks promising, especially if you liked the Breaking Bad run.
The guy in the parking fee booth: I wonder if he is the same character he was in Breaking Bad? Thats what confused me until I realized this is a prequel. That character got killed in Breaking bad.
The opening scene where he was working at Cinnabon is after Breaking Bad. (I had to look this up because I didn't remember it), here's what I found:
The last time we saw Saul Goodman on Breaking Bad — in the penultimate episode, "Granite State" — he set Walter White up with a fixer who can erase your identity and give you a brand-new one. And Saul was signing up, too: "If I'm lucky, a month from now, best-case scenario, I'm managing a Cinnabon in Omaha."
That's why you hear him watching old "Better Call Saul" commercials on tape afterwards. I think the rest of what they've shown so far is pre-Breaking Bad. The guy in the parking booth is Mike. There was one other character from BB too, one of Tuco's henchmen, No-Doze (the one that "clarified" something Tuco said that made him mad...he did that in Breaking Bad out in the junkyard when Walt and Jesse were making a deal with Tuco and the Tuco beat him to death.)
Knowing how Vince Gilligan skipped around with the timeline on Breaking Bad quite a bit, I imagine he'll do the same on this one.
Liking the show so far and will keep watching. I wonder if we'll see Tuco's bell-ringing uncle Tio?
