Well let's see, when exactly would Jesse be showing up and hanging out with Saul in a prequel? In that episode Ozymandias in that flashback scene, he looked so much more older than in the real pilot episode. You guys want to see this guy who is visibly older continue to play a young kid? When would these scenes take place? In between season 2 and 3? No that can't possibly happen, Jesse is in rehab. Between season 3 and 4 when Jesse sits outside in the car? Within the two weeks of season 4? Or during season 5 when he's bugging out over everything?
Are you guys the type of people who care nothing about continuity just to salivate at seeing these characters again no matter how ridiculous it would be? I can picture a Breaking Bad Wikipedia page, filling in the blanks. A few pictures of Saul and Jesse in season 2, a new picture of Saul and Jesse from "Better Call Saul" looking much older, then back to some Breaking Bad season 3 shots of them looking younger! Hey doesn't matter right as long as that ending with Jesse remains intact? And what kind of ending is that exactly? Jesse drives away and Jesus guides him to safety? His prints everywhere, the police looking for him, no money, a stolen car of another dead suspect...yeah he'll make it to Alaska just fine.
Here's what Odenkirk said:
Though the
initial press release pitted the future AMC series as a prequel, Odenkirk tells Business Insider he’d love for the show to be both a prequel and a sequel.
“I’ll tell you, and I’ve told the guys, I want to see both,” says Odenkirk. “I’d like to see what happens before and what happens after. I don’t know what they’ll do with that … but that’s what I’d like to see.”
And then out come stories about Aaron Paul signing on. Signing on is more than a cameo is it not? Or is there going to be a whole missing month or two that was hidden from the series where old Jesse from the future time travels back and talks to Saul? Great idea! Yes Better Call Saul with one of those time travel phones from South Park
And ykno if that's the case where Jesse has Benjamin Button disease then that's cool too. I can't take it seriously as it smells like a desperate way to appease fans. Young Jesse Pinkman before he met Saul, on the same show as Saul? Unless it's in a small cameo in the background in an episode, it sounds like ****. Maybe the scene I described would be cheesy and stupid, and I obviously wouldn't want to see him show up immediately. But if the show does what Odenkirk wants , the prequel and sequel thing, I'd rather down the road see Jesse show up at the "cinnabon" where Saul lives his new life than some fake forced "deleted scene" type thing.
