For some reason I really want to see this show. It seems interesting
ReplyDeleteOoh, can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThis might mean he won't be in Breaking Bad Season 5.
ReplyDeleteI don't like this, I don't like this at all. Esposito is awesome, but I'm afraid that means he won't be on Breaking Bad anymore and I don't like the sound of that.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be at all surprised if Gus Fring is killed about halfway through the season. Breaking Bad is all about Walt's journey, and upgrading to kingpin is a natural step as we begin the last couple of seasons.
ReplyDeleteBreaking Bad films from January to May (or June), this starts July, so it doesn't have to mean anything. He could still have a major role next season. I wouldn't worry about it.
ReplyDeleteI can't see how Gus' job is something Walt would be interested in/could handle. Who knows, it wouldn't shock me, but it's unlikely, I'd say. Dude wants to cook.
ReplyDeleteI think killing Gus is a possibility, but I don't think Walt would be the next in line to just take his place.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Walt's just interested in cooking anymore. Now he's interested in power. I think he's been seduced, and he envies Gus. Walt taking over Gus's empire is a plausible scenario if Walt specifically sets up Gus's death for this purpose. He's in a position with a lot of leverage because he controls the meth supply.
ReplyDeleteI think we're heading down a path where it's Gus or Walt, and they both see this well in advance and are planning their moves. We knew Gus was plotting against Walt from last season, and we see evidence of Walt's machinations in his discussion with Jesse at Denny's.
From crime boss to magic mirror; that's one hell of a change of pace for an actor.
ReplyDeleteThis show sounds very interesting. It could be brilliant or suck out loud. I can't see it going midway. By the way, I am super loving the new highlight feature so I can see what all these guest stars look like. Putting a face and name together works wonders for me.
ReplyDeleteHis presence alone is worth a watch.
