"Today I woke up to news that has made me anxious all morning. My friend, Bob Odenkirk collapsed last night on the set of Better Call Saul.

"He is in the hospital in Albuquerque and receiving the medical attention he needs but his condition is not known to the public as yet.

"Please take a moment in your day today to think about him and send positive thoughts and prayers his way, thank you."

Am I the only Breaking bad/Better call Saul fan who feels an irrational desire to visit Albuquerque?

Not to visit the locations, not to start a crystal meth empire. It just looks a generally pleasant if bland place where it never rains and you can get out into the desert and see nobody all day if you want. For some reason it's tempting to believe that part of it while not believing the bit about not being able to take a trip to the dull shopping centres or the fast food joints that pass for restaurants without dodging bullets or getting mixed up in gangland intrigue.

Yes.

You have had this original thought no one else has had. And the owner of the house whose roof Walter through a pizza hasn't appealed for people to stop doing this as he wakes up every morning to find one hehe

smile people will be visiting from around the world, tour buses taking you around I imagine.

From a population of just over 500,000 compared to London’s 9million.

Yes, great news. But that pic doesn't inspire confident, looks like he should be in bed rest.

Impossible to know whether that’s the look they are going for really, after all this is the last season so it’s going to be pretty dramatic. I very much doubt he would be allowed anywhere near the show if he wasn’t 100% fit and willing to work.

Every day lost is tens of thousands of dollars lost to the tv companies, and messes up their schedules. Stars also feel pressure as many of the film crew are on freelance contracts and may not get paid if the shoot is shutdown, and staff/stars may have other contractual obligations elsewhere for other date periods.

If Bob didn't come back to work, would be messy. A Doctor will have signed it off ofcourse so should be ok.

Nothing to do with Better Call Saul, but a surprising role for its star: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZti8QKBWPo

(at least surprising for me)
Not a bad watch but not particularly great either. I did enjoy it but I suppose the John Wick films are so much better, they just outweigh it significantly. IMO, of course!

Anyone have any idea when S6 is out? I am loving this spinoff. Probably more than I enjoyed Breaking Bad! Fantastic stuff and at a great pace!
Quoting myself, but I finally got around to watching this today.

It’s a weird, disjointed esoteric version of John Wick. Not bad exactly, just really really strange.

Cannot wait. Although sad it’s finishing.
