It was fine, but that’s the one I felt was fan servicey. I thought the two previous episodes when the empire collapses and he’s left to reflect on all the ruin he has wrought on everyone were better fits for the story they created. I didn’t want any sort of redemption for Walter if we couldn’t see the effects, but I guess with El Camino I like it a bit more than I did at the time. We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two episodes of the show were about Walt... this was about Jesse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetropolitanCowboy Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Always has been interesting to me that Breaking Bad takes place in the same universe as The X-Files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morley Cigarettes are smoked by a few of the people...which is the same one the Cigarette Smoking Man in the X-Files uses. The attorney that represents Fring's 9 guys uses the same bank that Fox Mulder uses. The van rental company that they used to go bury the money in the desert is one that is used in the X-Files on several different occasions.

I wasn’t really angry, just saw we had a new reaction button and wanted to use it before never using it again. Wow! I love when creators make secret shared universes in their work.

Mano Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Makes sense, given Gilligan's role in the X-files. I believe that is where he first teamed up with Cranston.

Now the end wasn't the real end, and the TV show and was perfect. Just leave well enough alone. Toy story 4 was pretty good, but out effed up the perfect ending to 3. I have children. It doesn't ruin the end of BB at all in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanforHeisman Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Toy Story 4 is one of the worst movies of all time. 3 was a perfect ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetropolitanCowboy Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 The ending to Breaking Bad is great...but I'd argue that if they ended it after Season 4 with Walt and Jesse walking out of the meth lab laundromat as it explodes...that would have been just as good. Would have left a ton up to the imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crixus Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Vince Gilligan did it again! I figured El Camino would be a very good movie and it is. Gilligan is a cinematic genius, and I can't wait for the next season of Better Call Saul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crixus Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 I like El Camino so much that I'm binge watching all the Breaking Bad episodes again. And then I'll watch El Camino a second time after that. Fortunately this is something my wife likes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
