Well fuck.

I only have one question left to answer in BB. I'm pretty sure I've set up just about any popular scenario that could occur at this point in my mind. But one thing bugs me. Gustavo Fring.

Is Gustavo "Marcelo Barrios Andres", a 21 years-old member of the FPMR, was assassinated on August 31, 1989 in Valparaíso, Chile? The soup which he absolutely loves that reminds him of his younger days "Paila marina" is a hometown dish to Valparaíso, Chile. The soup has been shown not only once, but twice already. Once with Walt, and once with Jesse.

He mentions his family hating the soup, yet never talks about their current whereabouts. Did he escape death and hide for his life to protect his family by moving to Mexico>USA.

We know in Gustavo's flashback his teeth are all knocked out for the most part and have been replaced.

Obviously from a severe event in his near past. We also know the Mexican cartel fears him regardless of any bluff they throw in the air. Even to the modern day.

"[A] lot of the participants in the ambush and in the organization behind succeeded in getting out of the country across the border to Argentina, carefully dressed as dauntless students.".

I mean fuck. Hector literally calls Gus "Grand Generalissimo" at one point.

Also Gustavo is always paranoid or very careful about his vehicles. As seen in the final episode of S4, he evades entering the bomb-placed Volvo out of pure paranoia. Maybe paying respects to his old past when he attempted to try to assassinate Pinochet in his vehicle in 1986?

Maybe I'm pulling straws. But there seems to be so little info or quality speculation that I've seen online. I mean the only connection left we know of in the BB universe that's alive is Mike. Other than that no one knows who Gustavo really was.

Its getting too obvious though as I re-watch all the episodes for a 3rd time in a row now that he must be FPMR-related.

He had no teeth? O.o I thought that was just his lip covering them cause most motherfuckers are ugly when they cry.

**Pikarya** · 2012-07-12 12:22

Nah he had teeth, just a ton were knocked out previously.

Its fifth and final season doesn't even pop off until Sunday, but Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan is already contemplating life after death for his beloved creation. Not merely content to kick back in Antigua puffing lye while watching those fat DVD boxed-set residual checks come in, Gilligan is now considering continuing the world of BB by way of a spinoff for Saul Goodman, the loudmouth drug lawyer played by Bob Odenkirk. He tells EW:

I would love to see a Saul Goodman spin-off show when it’s all said and done. I think that would present itself pretty nicely, storywise. While Breaking Bad is by design a show that is finite and limited in its scope — it’s a story of transformation that cannot go on forever — I think a Saul Goodman show could have great legs. I love the idea of a lawyer who will do anything to avoid going to court. He’s always going to settle on the courthouse steps.” Gilligan cautions that the Saul spin-off is just in the idea stage at this point. And he issues an all-important caveat, given that the writers are currently constructing the second half of the last season: “No viewer should breathe a sigh of relief that Saul won’t expire by the end of Breaking Bad,” he says. “Everything is on the table … Who knows where Breaking Bad will take us?” (Asked about the possibility of a Saul-centric series, Odenkirk seconds: “Saul has got to survive this show first.” He adds with a quip: “And if he doesn’t, then maybe it can be done as a prequel.”)
Well, that's pretty crazy. Obviously we're a long way from anything concrete, but if The Saul Goodman Show actually came to fruition, it'd be great news for Odenkirk. The guy's long been revered by comedy nerds for his work on Mr. Show, but the showy career second act he's pulling off on Breaking Bad has landed him a whole new legion of devotees. Surely he wouldn't mind keeping the good times rolling a little longer. And the same goes for the Breaking Bad addicts — some of you probably wouldn't mind a few more hits on the sweet, sweet meth pipe that is Vince Gilligan's Albuquerque? (This might be your best shot, as Gilligan was much less encouraging about the possibility of a Breaking Bad movie: "I learned a long time ago to never say never, but I am working really hard to wrap up this story in these final 16 episodes.")

But the most interesting thing to me is that Gilligan is at least considering swimming against the stigma of the spinoff. Traditionally, spinoffs, sequels, and derivations in general are the domain of TV's lower-brow; from Saved by the Bell: The College Years to Private Practice to Joey, these cannibalizations almost always end up in the rubbish pile, only to be dusted off again when mean-spirited bloggers need headline-reference fodder. (Sorry, Joey.) Most of the highbrow showrunners would probably cringe at the thought of tweaking, in any minute way, the perfectly consummated visions they've slaved for years to create. (I can't find it now, but I remember reading an interview with Quentin Tarantino in which he explains that the reason he doesn't do "Director's Cuts" on his DVD releases is because he made the movie he wanted to make the first time. Roughly speaking, the same concept applies.) Obviously Gilligan has a unique situation on his hands with Goodman, whose comic relief would work just as well in a show not as endlessly bleak as Breaking Bad. But I do hope Gilligan sparks a trend of highbrow showrunners getting off their collective high horses and at least considering spinoffs for their own precious creations.

I love that Gus theory. I wouldn't count anything out on this show. They are detail oriented.

**Insanecyclone** · 2012-07-13 00:45

Can't spell Breaking Bad without KING.

All hail etc

**Chun Liroy** · 2012-07-13 01:02

Lol, I never realized how much Walt Jr likes breakfast until I saw those, especially the one where Skyler says breakfast can wait.

**Hitoshura** · 2012-07-13 01:42

Yeah I didn't either until AMC posted an image of Walt Jr on the BB Facebook page.

Okay, holy shit. I bought season 4 for blu-ray cause I wanted to get caught up before the new ones start. Holy shit that last episode was fucking amazing. "I won."

Skyler wasn't as much of a bitch in season 4 but season 5 is odd numbered so chances are she'll go right back.
