The return of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman has been central to Breaking Bad’s spin-off show – but after all the hype, it fell flat. At least we know there’s more of them to come …
Warning: this article contains spoilers to season six, episode 11 ofOne of Better Call Saul’s signature moves is to give us things we want in ways that make us instantly regret wanting them. Take two weeks ago, for instance. Since its inception, Better Call Saul viewers had been itching to see the moment where lovable but flawed Jimmy McGill burst into flames and emerged as Breaking Bad’s amoral Saul Goodman.
But when it came, once again, it felt slightly empty. The Walt and Jesse scene was basically an addendum to an old Breaking Bad scene; where Saul is taken out to the desert and pleads for his life. True, it’s an important moment – it’s the Rosetta Stone for the entire arc of Better Call Saul, referencing Lalo and Nacho Salamanca for the first time – but the epilogue we were treated to amounted to little more than small talk.
However, it’s important to state that this was a terrific episode. To love Better Call Saul is to keep an eye on the bigger picture. For instance, Howard Hamlin’s death, as shocking as it was, came at the end of seven episodes of meticulous, translucent plotting. It feels as if something similar is at play here. One of the drunks has cancer, which is absolutely not a coincidence. Carol Burnett’s character, Marion, , appears to be teetering on the brink of figuring out Gene’s true identity.
