The incredible fifth season of Breaking Bad left everyone wondering: Will there be a Breaking Bad season 6? He said Howard was murdered by Lalo simply for being “in the way” and “a problem” to be dealt with. One of the greatest joys in Breaking Bad is just how much Walter has transformed since the show's first season. Walt reaches a point where he won't let anyone get in his way, and he's willing to poison a child. Long before then, he has tremendous reservations about his first kill.

This is perhaps later teased in the Better Call Saul episode, " 50% Off", where a similar damaged gnome also appears at the end of the episode's teaser. Todd has a strange collection of snow globes. One of them represents him with Lydia, sitting on a giant cup of tea, the snow being replaced by rose hearts. Breaking Bad's excellence has to do with being the right length and being written all the way through with a keen eye. Even though Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul have shorter runs than many shows, they reward rewatching. Fans can always spot new easter eggs in either show when they watch them again.Some of Better Call Saul's ties to Breaking Bad are outright continuity nods. Characters return, and plot points from one show feed into another. However, some are more metaphorical and thematic. Throughout Breaking Bad, Hector Salamanca's refusal to look Gus Fring in the eye is a major part of their relationship. Sadly, Howard’s row with Jimmy and Kim was interrupted by Lalo, who also arrived to discuss matters only to find the HHM partner there. After season 5, AMC commissioned the spinoff series Better Call Saul instead of Breaking Bad season 6. The off-shoot stars the colorful lawyer Saul Goodman, played by Bob Odenkirk, who originally debuted in season 2 of the show. The show is currently in its fifth season and follows Saul in the years leading up to the start of the Breaking Bad storyline.

Vince Gilligan originally conceived the project as a minisode titled "63" that would have been produced for the series' 10th anniversary as a gift to fans, acting as a final 63rd episode of Breaking Bad, but was soon developed into a full episode and then feature length film, to more effectively make use of the cost of assembling a cast and crew. Howard had unexpectedly turned up at Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) and Kim Wexler’s (Rhea Seehorn) house to confront them about their revenge plot against him. Fabian added to Vanity Fair: “So I’m just disposable. I’m a fly. He needs to talk to Jimmy and Kim right now. Who’s this guy? Get out of the way.” Todd's apartment is not far from the intersection of Holly Avenue and Arroz Lane. Holly is the name of the daughter of Walter and Skyler, but it is also the name of the companion of Vince Gilligan, whose name is Rice, Arroz in Spanish.

Cast & Crew

It's a portrait of one man's simultaneous ascent (to drug lord) and descent (into moral depravity). In an extraordinary performance, Bryan Cranston, playing Walter White, takes us with him every step of the way. To get a sense of the scale of his achievement, just compare the first and final season covers: in the former, a mildly quizzical-looking man in white Y-fronts holds a gun in a way that suggests he doesn't know how to use it. In the latter, a monster looks out, a barely discernible snarling shadow. It's a different man and the same man. It's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
