Hopefully the transformation to Saul will be fully explained. Unless I missed that last series?
Should happen this season. Really looking forward to it.
Glad I hadn’t missed something smile.
There's a few hints online as to what might happen, actors contracts tell a few stories but I won't spoil it.

I prefer to be surprised!

They need to hurry up. Jonathan Banks is looking more and more like a shaven testicle with each passing day.

He's 71 and I'm sure he's got a great doc. Should be fine for another 10+ years!

I'm sure he has plenty of life left in him, I just fear he may not be able to carry such an air of menace if he has to use a mobility scooter.

Hmm, not so sure, does said scooter have a bell ?

Surely the best part of a new series is the future where he is working in a cinnabon obviously in hiding directly after Breaking Bad? I like those scenes only ever in the start of a new season at the beginning.

Time to rewatch the third series again?

I think we all know exactly how and why Jimmy will become Saul, it's just how long the writers decide to draw it out that is the issue, though the pace isn't an issue for me.

What happens to Kim, did she make it as far as Breaking Bad or was she even mentioned in it?

Not that Breaking Bad exactly goes into any depth on the life, friends, activities etc. of Saul.

Which is worrying me! I can see from idmb she is not credited for Breaking Bad at all but I cannot shake this blurry image from head that she is seen briefly turning up on scene (as a government employee eg: DA Office) and briefly talking to police, possibly Hank, when they're called to some early activities around Walter White. Maybe it was a brief crossing of paths with Saul (Not Jimmy).

It's slightly worrying if I'm mashing up different TV series in my head or making up entire scenes.

He should go for a part in Deadpool.

I re-watched BB last year (I'm sad like that) and I'm almost certain she didn't appear in it anywhere.

I tend to pick up on things like that. Managed to clock instantly that a scene in the movie gold for example wasn't shot in Jakarta but Bangkok because of a building seen in the background through a big glass wall in a hotel lobby. (again because I'm sad like that... or so my wife tells me...smile

Can't wait for the next season to air! smile

I'm busy re-watching The Soprano's (half way through the last season) but my plan is to re-watch BB when I'm done as it's been so long I can appreciate it again.

How much of BCS was scripted/considered while BB was being written or running? The fact that Kim was not in BB does not necessarily mean anything.

When BB was made, there were no plans for BCS, the latter only came about when Vince and co started to think about life after BB when they were in the last seasons. The only notable time I think Saul talks about someone in BB is when Walt and Jesse kidnap him and he says "It wasn't me, it was Ignacio" i.e. Nacho and then starts speaking mexican https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x15nfmd

Well that and saying 'his ex-wife screwed his step-dad' so we have that to look foreward to perhaps!

Like Jesse Pinkman, Saul was not actually intended to be a long term character, he was pencilled in for only 3 episodes iirc but then it worked so well he remained so nothing was planned I think for BCS.
