'Better Call Saul' Season 6: Where Things Stand Before the AMC ... (IndieWire)

A quick refresher before one of the great works of TV returns for one last two-part hurrah, airing through the end of this summer.

The first pair of episodes made available to critics show that things aren’t slowing down on the way to the finish line. “Slippin’ Jimmy,” an animated series tracking the life of a young Jimmy McGill (Sean Giambrone), is set to be released in conjunction with the first batch of Season 6 episodes. “Better Call Saul” has long had a legitimate claim to the Best Show on TV throne. Production rolled cameras on the Season 6 premiere over a year ago, back in March 2021. Of course, “ Better Call Saul,” like many of the other benchmark television dramas currently airing, had to put plans on hold when productions around the world went dark in 2020. Last we saw of Nacho, he was springing a trap for Lalo, one he assumed would lead to his former boss’ elimination and some protection in return.

'Better Call Saul': Bob Odenkirk Teases 'Kim Is the Mystery' of ... (TV Insider)

Plus, find out why he thinks fans will rewatch 'Breaking Bad' after the series ends.

“The answer is yes, [there are] more surprises, [it’s] more intertwined [with] the two shows,” Odenkirk says bluntly. Meanwhile, for Kim, lying and breaking rules is something “she seems to be more aware of,” Odenkirk says. The answer is pointing to yes.” When TV Insider caught up with Odenkirk, it hadn’t yet been revealed that Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul would reprise their roles as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in the final season, but the actor did provide some hints. He perceives it as just a choice you can make and has a real hard time seeing the consequences of any of this stuff until it’s too late.” “Kim is the mystery,” Odenkirk teases. But as we see that part of her that allows for this kind of scheming and scamming and seems to delight in it has come to life.”

“I personally feel that the two shows — Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul — are entwined even more than ever in the final season. “I don’t want to spoil things for the audience, but I will say the first question we had when we started the show was, ‘Are we gonna see Walt and Jesse on the show?’ Instead of evading, I’ll just say yeah. Better Call Saul is a spinoff to Breaking Bad, which ran for five seasons from 2008 to 2013.

'Better Call Saul' Team on Crafting Final Season, Navigating Bob ... (Hollywood Reporter)

Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn and their castmates teased what's ahead for season six and navigating Odenkirk's on-set heart attack.

“It blew my mind and it still does and that will resonate with me for the rest of my life.” And nine months later, he appeared to have taken a lighter approach to the experience; when asked to describe the final season in a few words, Odenkirk said, “Heart-stopping.” After Breaking Bad I thought I would never have an experience as rewarding, fun and creatively fertile as Breaking Bad, and this show for me has been just as good, for me maybe even a little bit better.” Of reading those final scripts, Rhea Seehorn confirmed, “I could not believe the weaving together of all of the storylines and the character stuff that they had to do, as Peter has said it was quite the Rubik’s Cube that he had to figure out. I love it and I hope everyone else does too.” And that decision on where to leave him was not planned out years in the making, but started coming together just last season. “As it worked out we came pretty close, but there were a lot of nuances that were very hard won this season.” “And I’m going to leave it to you to find out whether that is what happened.”

Since “Better Call Saul” began, both the creative team and the actors have expressed openness to a reunion if the timing was right.

Seehorn told the crowd that she too presumed such an unorthodox call from the execs could only be to inform her of a death, albeit for her fictional character. “The first question we had when we started the show was, ‘Are we gonna see Walt and Jesse on the show?’” said Gould. “Instead of evading, I’ll just say yeah.” For the sake of spoiler-avoidance, Gould refused to elaborate on the details of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul’s return following El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie but promised the long-awaited connective tissue between the two shows was not to be missed. That call was actually relaying the same good news that had just been shared with the PaleyFest audience: He had been tapped to direct an episode for the coming season.

Better Call Saul's Giancarlo Esposito Wants a 'Rise of Gus' Prequel ... (MovieWeb)

Maybe fans will find out more of Gus Fring's mysterious backstory in a potential new series set in the Breaking Bad world.

Maybe someday, but personally I’m going to take a little break from that world and try something else, just to prove that I can," Gould told Deadline. And I'm an actor, so I want the audience to know everything about Gus Fring, but if you're able to know less, there's more mystery. And sooner or later, you're going to see the whole picture, I believe." "I always feel like, every time this ends, I always feel I have more to give. Maybe we haven't seen the last of Gustavo Fring. Starting with Breaking Bad and continuing in Better Call Saul, Giancarlo Esposito has been portraying the drug lord with perfection, earning widespread acclaim for his performance. For his part, Giancarlo Esposito endorses the idea of another spinoff following the rise of the Gus Fring character.

Prominent conservatives call for Law School to discipline protestors ... (Yale Daily News)

Hundreds, including conservative elected officials, decried the Law School's response to March 10 protest.

“It’s not going to stop me from doing the organizing and queer community building work that I am at this law school to do. Rachel Perler LAW ’22 told the News that the recommendations issued in the letter relied on a false narrative of what happened at the protested panel. “Dean Gerken, we urge you to take concrete action to correct the course of Yale Law School,” the letter reads. For two law students interviewed by the News, the conservative majority among the signatories suggests that the letter represents a partisan attack to silence opposition under the guise of protecting free speech. The question of disciplining student protesters has been a hotly contested one. According to the Philadelphia Statement’s website, the document affirms coexistence rather than division within a “cancel culture” in which “people and groups of good will are too often demonized or blacklisted simply for expressing their views.”

Better Call Saul Recap: The Most Important Things That Happened ... (Collider.com)

Watching James McGill transform into Saul Goodman has been as wild of a ride as Jimmy's Esteem. Bob Odenkirk has taken his role as the morally corrupt ...

Lalo immediately suspects that Nacho played a part in the attempt on his life and storms into the darkness seeking vengeance. While successful in his attempt to get rid of Hector, Nacho also catches the attention of Fring. With his life in jeopardy, Nacho is forced to play both sides of the Fring and Salamanca war. With Kim feeling disenfranchised with her Mesa Verde work, she opts to help a man, Everett Acker (Barry Corbin) from being evicted from his home as Mesa Verde looks to build a call center. Focusing on the Jimmy and Chuck dispute, "Chicanery" is one of the best episodes in the Breaking Bad universe. After learning of the maleficence at the retirement home, Jimmy teamed up with his brother, Chuck (Michael McKean). Realizing the case was becoming more than a two-man job, the McGill brothers refer the case to HHM and Jimmy readies himself to join the firm. Together, Mike and Saul venture out of the desert and barely make it back into ABQ. After being cornered by both the law and Fring, Lalo decides to head back down to Mexico. He is then nearly killed by a team of "expert" assassins. The very first of many dominoes to fall in the making of Saul Goodman was Jimmy's scheme to con the Kettlemans involving the abuelita-insulting, skateboard riding twins (Steven Levine and Daniel Spencer Levine). Jimmy is soon introduced to the Salamanca crime family, as well as putting Nacho onto the Kettleman's money. Learning about the death of his son and Mike's subsequent revenge was a gripping moment and shed a light on the stoic enforcer. Lalo utilizes Nacho to do his dirty work, putting Nacho in a very difficult position to win Lalo's trust. Upon receiving his reinstatement, Jimmy officially decides to practice law under the name, Saul Goodman, surprising Kim yet again. Meanwhile, Kim takes on more work from Mesa Verde, falling asleep at the wheel and crashing due to being overworked. Better Call Saul is a show that reflects on character choices, and the consequences that come from those choices.

How Will Better Call Saul Reintroduce Bryan Cranston and Aaron ... (Den of Geek)

Breaking Bad's Walter White and Jesse Pinkman are confirmed to appear in Better Call Saul's final season. How will the prequel pull it off?

The Southwest meth kingpin known as Heisenberg dies in the Breaking Bad finale “Felina.” Unless Better Call Saul wants to get very trippy and have Saul and Walt remeet in the afterlife, the future is quite simply not an option for Walt’s cameo. And then Saul, now Gene Takovic, could meet Jesse in the future as they try to tie up some final loose ends. We also know that Jesse is alive and (reasonably) well in Breaking Bad’s present thanks to the events of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. The prospect of Walt and Jesse’s involvement in Saul’s final act is so enticing that Better Call Saul producers have decided to go ahead and just confirm it ahead of time! Better Call Saul began its story in 2002, roughly six years prior to when Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman met Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. As of the show’s fifth season, Saul’s story has reached 2004. The elegant solution to reintroducing Jesse to the Breaking Bad continuity would be via the use of a flashforward.
