    Re: Better Call Saul

    Unfair to think there is a chance that this Ernesto guy taking care of Chuck is a younger Gus?

      Definite physical similarities but might be a stretch. Jimmy seems to know him well. Maybe worked the mail room with him? Gus was older then Jimmy too I feel.

        Yea, definitely a big stretch.

        I've just been looking for connections and as soon as I saw him that was the first thing that came to my mind lol.

          Impossible. Gus Fring had co-founded his chicken restaurant years ago and had built a franchise probably well before the current timeline is taking place. He's also older or roughly the same age as Saul.

          Besides Gilligan has already established a young Gus Fring. This is him probably 15 years BEFORE Ernesto shows up:

            I've probably missed it but do we know the time frame that this takes place with relation to BB?

              2004. Breaking Bad was 2009. I believe.

              Or maybe you mean young Gus. That I don't know.

                Better Call Saul begins six years before the appearance of Saul Goodman in BB (April 2009), so we are talking roughly the spring of 2003. The picture of young Gus happened in 1989, 14 years before the birth of "BCS". Fring and partner had already started their chicken franchise and meth business.

                  I enjoyed the finale but if I had to rank the episodes it's probably the least favorite so far.

                  I went in a fanboy and now that has multiplied by a large number...

                    Agreed. The finale was a little lackluster compared to the rest of the season. I went into this show with high expectations, based on the writers, and it far surpassed them. 2nd favorite show on TV, behind only GoT.

                        Right now it is before BB except for the opening scene.
