In this episode of Breaking Goodman we are discussing season 6 episode 11 titled “Breaking Bad.” Whether you wanted it or not, we saw the return of Walter Hartwell White and Jesse Pinkman. We revisit the episode titled “Better Call Saul” in the episode titled “Breaking Bad” where they are filling in some “cut” scenes and connecting more dots. It can surely be argued that much of this did not need to be seen and was fine left inferred, but we got it anyway. And thought some was heavy handed and many argue strictly fan service – it was enjoyable to watch. Meanwhile in the Gene timeline he gets updated on what’s going on in ABQ from Francesca, tries to connect with Kim (and maybe does?), and gets back into the game with Jeffy and Buddy where he is now Frankenstein’s monster made up of the worst parts Jimmy, Saul, and Gene. And hey – we’ll take all the Carol Burnett we can get.
