that's it, Argo. Think about what a sequel might be for about four seconds, and write it off as stupid. Since a good idea is not immediately apparent to you (and who the eff are you?) a good idea obviously does not exist.

That's some great threading right there!

I have my questions, but if Gilligan is writing, I think he's earn the benefit of the doubt.

But my objection is an emotional one, from my deep well of love for Jesse. He deserves peace at this point

That's what I'm saying! There shouldn't be a movie, because any movie about Jesse now should be really boring. And movies are never boring. Why don't you understand me?

I thought the notion of Better Call Saul was stupid and it's infinitely better than Breaking Bad. I have faith.

I don't think it's stupid. It will be good and I will like it. But it makes me sad all the same. Anything post-BB that raises Jesse's pulse above 100 bpm makes me sad.

SERIOUSLY! When Jesse was finally let loose and took off i felt this massive sigh of relief. This sadness and anger towards everything he's been through...It all jsut melted away. It was perfect.

He's done. There is no more story. Nothing else he needs to go through.

We will see. Jesse has just escaped being a meth slave for nazis. He is a broke and deeply traumatized man who is also wanted by the police. He has nothing and nobody left. Where does he go? What does he do? I think there is potentially a very interesting story to be told there. I had to edit this post twice to remove inexplicable typos such as "wast" instead of "what".

I do think Breaking Bad was the best show. With the success of Better Call Saul....I definitely have trust in the writers to make something fantastic.

I'll just have to be sold on it before getting excited about it.

It's really too bad that they pooched The Dark Tower adaptation. He would have been the perfect Eddie Dean.
