They should do a follow up, but like White Collar, where Jesse becomes the person who gives his expertise to police to help them solve crimes.
True, that was the best thing about the movie IMO.Thought this was pretty good. Not essential, but a nice little closing chapter to Jesse's story. Thought Aaron Paul did a decent job slotting back into the character after so long away, thought Vince Gilligan shot the hell out of it (like I'd expect anything less), and being back in that universe with some of those characters again was a really rewarding experience. It does everything it says on the tin for 2 hours - can't ask for more than that really.
Or he meets Lumberjack dexter and they start a business together.They should do a follow up, but like White Collar, where Jesse becomes the person who gives his expertise to police to help them solve crimes.
Only if Jon Snow is there too. Or is he years gone by this point? My timelines can get messed up.Or he meets Lumberjack dexter and they start a business together.
I'd watch a show with Lumberjack Dexter, Jon Snow and Jesse Pinkman. Would be like a weird version of two and a half men.Only if Jon Snow is there too. Or is he years gone by this point? My timelines can get messed up.

Oh yeah, totally.I'd watch a show with Lumberjack Dexter, Jon Snow and Jesse Pinkman. Would be like a weird version of two and a half men.
Aye it turned into a nice, if rather eerie, tribute to him.Same as what everyone else said really. Enjoyed it, not essential viewing but felt like a long Breaking Bad episode which is always good.
Sad about Robert Forster. Can’t believe he died the same day it came out.

You realise he wasn't in the El Camino at that point, right?I managed to watch up to the point when the cops located the camino and went to look for it and he ducked down. Pure 2hrs 24 of pure shite. Thanks for the heads up!
Curious. You watched 20 mins of the film but reckon it's 2 hours of pure shite? Something doesn't add up.I managed to watch up to the point when the cops located the camino and went to look for it and he ducked down. Pure 2hrs 24 of pure shite. Thanks for the heads up!
Might have been an issue of time given how covert the whole thing was and the whole thing was shot in 50 days.Agreed with this.
I don't understand why they didn't get Todd to lose weight. It ruined it a bit for me.
"I only watched the first 20 minutes, but the whole film is shit man."I managed to watch up to the point when the cops located the camino and went to look for it and he ducked down. Pure 2hrs 24 of pure shite. Thanks for the heads up!
Exactly. Same reason for why Cranston used a bald cap instead of shaving his head.Might have been an issue of time given how covert the whole thing was and the whole thing was shot in 50 days.
Don't agree. Better Call Saul is surviving on its own terms now, this film was a one-off return to a character whose ending was left pretty wide open. After BCS finishes I can't see them going much further with it, but at the same time this is Vince's universe and as long as he thinks he can use it to tell a story then long may he continue.They should just let this franchise die naturally now. Further movies/ seasons/ spinoffs are going to cause more harm to the legacy of this great show than any good. It has been milked for all it's worth.
Yeah, films, episodes, BCS. Whatever, man. Just keep bringing me that sh1t.Don't agree.

I never really managed to get into BCS beyond the first season. Didn't know it had a big following.Don't agree.

It's a slow burner but it gets better and better with every season. Hasn't got the out and out thrill ride of Breaking Bad but it's arguably a better-written show.I never really managed to get into BCS beyond the first season. Didn't know it had a big following.
When BCS finishes that takes us up to to start of BB. They've been teasing black and white flash forwards of Saul in his life post BB under his new alias in every season of the premiere episodes so far. I could see potential for a Saul film if it interlinks the characters from BB and BCS post the Breaking Bad story.Don't agree.

It would be a waste of time if you haven’t seen BB, even more so if you’ve seen a bit and didn’t like it. You won’t like this thenCan I watch this movie without having completed breaking bad? I saw 2 seasons but didn't like it so I left it.
Sort of like how I saw Serenity without having seen a second of Firefly but still loved it. So much that I went and saw Firefly.
I'm making a call, but it's not to Netflix...So, who's calling Netflix?
Yeah, I found that 'awkward' too.As well as that awkward bit at the end where he act to act like early days teenage Jesse Pinkman, whilst very obviously being a fat headed man in his 40s in a way too small beanie.
Yep agreed. BCS would have been a decent show on its own but compared to BB it is a bit lame.They should just let this franchise die naturally now. Further movies/ seasons/ spinoffs are going to cause more harm to the legacy of this great show than any good. It has been milked for all it's worth.
I mentioned this earlier in the thread. I can’t help wondering if they were giving Jesse a platform to see whether he could carry a spin off series. His character had changed so much.One thing I’m wrestling with is the growth of Jessie. After watching BB again over the last month and it all being very fresh, the transformation from straight up G, yo! Biatch! Baggy Jessie to Aran sweater wearing, calm calculated Jessie.
Maybe that's what they're heading in better call Saul we're seeing his struggle with dealing with his new life. Perhaps he heads upto alaska and teams up with the greatest meth cook in the world who's alive.I mentioned this earlier in the thread.

The old Jesse couldn’t have carried anything alone but this new one?
Yeah I know he had been tortured and was meant to be broken but he didn’t seem like that. He seemed almost like a totally new character at times.
The cynic in me cant help but think the money men are seeing what they will do after BCS ends, which it has to surely after the coming season.
I don’t think so, I’ve read a few reports on ideas they ran through for Jesse in this and one of them was him coping with a week of insomnia following his freedom and dealing with his demons before finally sacrificing himself to save a girl, knowing he would be caught by police and the final scene being him getting a perfect night sleep in jail as he’s finally found atonement for his sins.I mentioned this earlier in the thread.

Pexbo, I’m not arguing here and I think they should leave it alone now but I doubt very much shows or films get made for fan closure or residual empathy for a character.They decided against it because they felt it defeated the object of what they were trying to achieve here - a nice ending for the character who suffered the most.
It sounded like they wanted closure for him and in a way that the audience will be satisfied with.
Never thought about it like that. That would be very interesting.Maybe that's what they're heading in better call Saul we're seeing his struggle with dealing with his new life. Perhaps he heads upto alaska and teams up with the greatest meth cook in the world who's alive.
