for you lazy ****s who are to lazy to click a ****ing link. here is the ****ing article.



The only Breaking Bad series finale spoiler we're sure of is that Saul Goodman makes it out alive. AMC and series creator Vince Gilligan are planning a spin-off that will revolve around Bob Odenkirk's shady criminal lawyer.

The final 8 episodes of Breaking Bad Season 5 will begin airing this summer, but it may not be the last we hear from the series. Though death looms around every major character, it seems that Saul will live to see another case. This new show is being conceived as a comedy, with the idea still in the very early stages of development. If the show gets the greenlight on AMC, Vince Gilligan will steer the production alongside Breaking Bad producer and writer Peter Gould.

Vince Gilligan first hinted at this potential spin-off earlier this year, when he attended the WGA Awards. This is what he had to say about the show at that time.

"In my mind's eye, I would like to see a Saul Goodman spin-off. I would love that. So maybe we'll try to get that going."


Saul Goodman first appeared in the Breaking Bad Season 2 episode Better Call Saul, which was written by Peter Gould. To check out Saul's website: Click Here!

Breaking Bad episode 2.8, "Better Call Saul" stars Bryan Cranston, Anna Gunn, Aaron Paul, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte, Bob Odenkirk, DJ Qualls and is directed by Terry McDonough.

this seems nice
 
We'll see. Part of what makes Saul great is that he's a good supporting character. Having a whole show around him though? I think I would get sick of that after a few episodes.

who knows if done right it might be a great show.
kinda make him like a supporting character in his own show.

kinda like every weak some case. where he is the supporting character. we get to meet shady people.
and like a big long case/subject going through the whole season

Agreed. Saul is a supporting character at best. I'd get sick of the show after a few episodes as well.


AMC ordered pilot scripts for two sci-fi shows that seem pretty interesting though...

This "Line of Sight" might be good. Sorta sounds like Lost, imo.
Line of Sight is the genre-bending odyssey of one man, who, after surviving a plane crash dives head first down the rabbit hole on an emotionally disorienting search to find out what has happened to him. He becomes a man whose entire sense of self, his own life and the world as he knows it, completely unravels in a whirlwind of obsession and paranoia.

The one I'm REALLY excited about is "Ballistic City"
Ballistic City is described as “Blade Runner meets Battlestar Galactica” and tells the story of a former cop thrust into the criminal underworld of a city housed in a generational space ship destined for an unknown world.
 
Have to agree that a show based on Saul sounds iffy at best. It might end up great but I have my doubts.
