The salutary idiot box shows of all metre will be debated forever and a day , but there are clear contenders . These are the very best television set display of all metre , grade .
Gus Fring’s Superlab Has A Major Loose End
A Gus Fring spinoff could touch on the superlab which is one ofBreaking Bad ’s most iconic set , but it still has a major loose terminal after the event ofBetter Call Saul . The prequel spends a lot of meter covering the development of Gus Fring ’s superlab , withBetter Call Saulseason 4 following Mike as he recruits , trains , and supervises a team of German construction doer for the task . While they do get the introductory structure of the superlab prepared , Mike ends up having to kill engineer Werner Ziegler before construction can be fill out . After this , the superlab ’s construction is never dissolve .
Thesuperlab returns inBetter Call Saulseason 6 , with Lalo Salamanca and Howard Hamlin ’s dead body being stored in the still - unfinished compound . The next sighting of the superlab in theBreaking Badtimeline comes in a season 4 flashback , where Gale Boetticher visits the of late - completed science laboratory . There is a clear gap here , as it is never excuse how the superlab croak from an empty cave inBetter Call Saulseason 6 to a ready - to - use facility inBreaking Bad . Gus does make an offhand comment about finding another engineer , but this feels like a tarradiddle in its own right .
Mike Finishing The Superlab Would Be Perfect For A Gus Spinoff
The completion of the superlab is not just a plot hole - it would be perfect for a Gus Fring spinoff . Gus Fring and Mike Ehrmantrautplanning the superlab was undeniably stressful , with the duo apply a irksome and secretive process in gild to complete the project . Since it did not run out with the German crew , they would have to go back to square one , creating an even more complicated set of rules for the next construction squad . There is still much work to be done on the superlab inBetter Call Saulseason 6 , and a story about Mike and Gus finish it could easily be secernate through another spinoff .
This spinoff would be able to research more of Gus ' history , as he did not appear untilBetter Call Saulseason 3 , and many questions about his parentage remain . It would also continue to expand on Mike ’s tale . The concept does not lend itself to another five or six time of year show , but could lick as a movie similar to theJesse Pinkman floor inEl Caminoor as a miniseries . If the completion of Gus Fring ’s superlab is not research in a spinoff , this would be a disgrace , as it is the gross way to expand the narrative ofBreaking Bad .
The Gus Spinoff Is Unlikely To Happen
As mch as buff might want to see a Gus Fring spinoff to answer those lingering questions and plunk deeper into the layered character , the chance of it fall out do not seem likely . Breaking Badcreator Vince Gilligan generate to his enfranchisement forBetter Call Sauland expend it even further in the one - off movieEl Camino . While that might indicate that Gilligan is discriminating on building aBreaking Baduniverse , he seems quick to wrap it up aftertheBetter Call Saulending , with these three individual tale serve as enough exploration into this world and these characters Gilligan shared ( viaDeadline ):
" You ca n’t keep putting all your money on red 21 . I feel like we probably pushed it doing a spinoff toBreaking Bad[but ] I could not be more happy with the results . Then I didEl Caminoand I ’m very proud of that too . But I think I ’m starting to sense you ’ve got to have intercourse when to leave the party , you do n’t desire to be the guy with a lampshade on your straits . "
As darling as these shows have been , it is not hard to see thing from Gilligan ’s perspective . Returning to the same story again and again hazard the theory of eventually draining it of its sprightliness and diminish something that was once particular and unique . As before long as one of theseBreaking Badspinoffs fails , the whole universe might be compromised . However , Gilligan also admit that just because he feels that way now does n’t think of that ’s how he ’ll always experience :
" I do n’t have any plans properly now to do anything more in this universe . I bang I plausibly contribute the same solvent at the remnant ofBreaking Bad . I got ta shew to myself that I get something else in me . I ’m not a one trick crib , that ’s what I ’m hoping . "
Gilligan ’s desire to adventure out into new projects is admirable and exciting for fans of his storytelling , but he also poits out that the idea of be upBreaking Badwith a spinoff once seemed like a fearful idea . Breaking Badwas hail as one of the best show of all time . However , there are now people who suggestBetter Call Saulis the better show . Its massive achiever could inspire Gilligan to take another flavour at this macrocosm , and possibly Gus Fring , once he ’s explored other project .
