    Watch now!: play.google.com/store/tv/show...
    Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

      I think that an ending "worse than death" would be just this. Jimmy/Gene living alone, and realizing that his best days are over, that he doesn't mean anything to anyone anymore. He can't do what he loved doing - being a lawyer and scamming people on the side, he doesn't have the one person he cared about the most, and he can't do anything outside of his safety bubble for the risk of being made (and his paranoia). Just a sad, miserable, empty shell of a man reminiscing of his glory days, knowing that he'll never be happy again.

    This scene really sums up my love for Better Call Saul AND Breaking Bad. I've seen so many other movies that follow the same pattern where those who participate in crime eventually meet their demise but not before we see countless scenes of them living the good life...with a little evil tossed in along the way that the writers manage to glorify while explaining how they achieved their kingpin status. BCS and BB doesn't do that!! Not only do they show the dark side of crime and the levels it takes one too, but it also shows the perpetrators never really being able to enjoy the fruits of their labor because they're constantly looking over their shoulder. Even the ones that get out of the life...as Gene is shown here...cannot for one second let their guard down!!

    "From the place of your birth, to the ends of the earth, I've searched only to find, address unknown" Think about that lyric for a second. Jimmy is in Nebraska, whose birthplace is Nebraska? Kim's! If we assume that the use of that lyric was intentional, which it was (Vince Gilligan) it only means that Jimmy is searching for Kim. He's trying to find a lead, hint, anything that could help him find her. If my theory is correct then that can only mean Kim had to disappear using Ed or another method. So she's probably not dead.

    Cant remember what episode but saul said during the final season of breaking bad that "running away" wasnt a good option, then jokingly said that if he did the best he'd do is managing a cinnabon in the midwest. I remembered that and thought it was wildly good foreshadowing

    There's only one of these scenes per "Better Call Saul" season, but like Harry Potter with the Dursley family, I look forward to these scenes every time. I'm anticipating these present day scenes coming around full circle in the show's sixth and final season.

    Is it just or does this scene feel more and more depressing with every season

      To me it's kinda the opposite, since we've still got four episodes left a part of me hopes that at least the Gene timeline will have a somewhat happy ending. But this is Better Call Saul, so I'm probably wrong.

    They said in order to prepare for the role of gene, bob odenkirk actually worked at a real cinnabon store for 6 months.

      And this is a real Cinnabon store. His onscreen coworkers really did work there.

    In the first scene of the entire show, they pick a song that basically foreshadows what ultimately happens with Kim and Jimmy's relationship. Fans were speculating the whole time, yet here it was all along. I wonder if that was intentional or just a coincidence. Maybe it was originally referring to his longing for the world of Saul Goodman, but now the meaning has changed to be about Kim.

    The first scene in the entire series takes place after most of the story was already over for Saul. Genius!

      People seem to think Saul was on the run for absolutely forever and it took them years to catch him.
      In reality, it was more like 7-8 months at most. He was caught just before Christmas 2010 and was sentenced by around March 2011.
