The trailer had me goin in with zero hopes for the show but the premiere was good. Really good.

SPOILERS:


At the beginning of the episode in black and white, Sauls working at a cinnabon and later at home watching himself on tv as a lawyer. Almost confused me cuz I thought it was set before everything in BB. So how could he be watching his own commercials? lol
The black7 white scenes are after BB takes place. In season 5 he said he pictured himself working at a Cinnabon somewhere at some point haha thats kinda cool I hope we get more of those. People not familiar w/ BB won't get it at all. Not yet anyway,

This was my post before the sicc crashed again, saved it though:

I'm sure everyone caught this, but for those who didn't notice, the black and white prologue was of Jimmy's life after the events of Breaking Bad. Saul references this in Breaking Bad season 5. "Months from now best case scenario I'm managing a Cinnabon in Omaha."

There are a couple other easter eggs in the episode that I read about too:

The key Jimmy placed in Chuck's mailbox was The car remote to the trunk during the final episode of BB





Also, it shows his future Cadillac:

"The show exists in the Breaking Bad universe. It acknowledges the fact that Breaking Bad came first and Gilligan hints at what is yet to come. After losing a hopeless trial as a public defender, Jimmy McGill retreats to his beat up rust yellow Suzuki Esteem, parked in the shadow of a white Cadillac DeVille, the kind that Saul Goodman will one day &#8220;LWYRUP&#8221; in."

All I can say is fuck yea, when we thought we lost Breaking Bad... we get this. What more can a fan ask for? Has there ever been a TV show that pulled off this "Hobbit - Lord of the Rings" prequel type spin off?

Having Mike in the first episode, we can speculate that it might lead to Gustavo in future seasons? and from reading they have really not took any characters from Breaking Bad off the table to cameo including Walt and Jesse. I think they just want to build the show first few seasons to have it stand on its own before they do that.

Basically this shit should get good.

tuco's grandma was Tony Montana's mother. That's an OG momma right there
I thought there was something familiar about her.

Didn't watch really any of the previews but i had low hopes for the show, especially since i thought it was gonna be more comedy than drama. I was mistaken, looks so far like it will be a worthy series on its own.

Also, with Mike in the picture, especially punchin parkin tickets, I can't help but think we will see Gus down the road.
