Better Call Saul: Every Breaking Bad Easter Egg You Missed

Breaking Bad broke television. Part of the first wave of what became known as prestige television as one of the first ‘prestige’ shows that wasn’t on a premium channel. The idea that a show would be about someone going from being a good guy to a very bad guy with a sad tragic ending was pretty groundbreaking. Vince Gilligan had made his name as a writer and producer on the popular and also groundbreaking X-Files and pitched his idea about a show that explored how someone could go from Mr Chips to Scarface. He also thought that everyone knew the Virginia slang for when people start doing sketchy stuff, they ‘break bad.’ The show changed Bryan Cranston from a goofy sitcom dad to The One Who Knocks, it created the disturbingly put together menace of Gustavo Fring played spectacularly by veteran actor Giancarlo Espisito. The newly excited about science Jesse Pinkman played by Aaron Paul. But one of the break away characters is the fast talking shyster lawyer Saul Goodman. Once the story was told of the rise and fall of Walter “Heisenberg” White had run its course Gilligan was tempted to return to the drug underworld of the southwest, this time to explore the origins of the lawyer who had long ago lost his moral compass. How did he get that way? Was he always that way or did he have his own Mr Chips to Scarface moment? Naturally with a spin off series this closely related to the original story there are a lot of nods and returns to the original series and we’re breaking down some of them.
