The Better Call Saul And Breaking Bad Timeline Explained 

Which character's story would you like to see explored further?

POV: you just finished watching better call Saul and you wanna watch videos about it

I always felt like Saul was hiding out as Gene for many years from the flash forwards. It was surprising to see it was less than a year in the final episode.

The time machine flashbacks are so underappreciated. The first two with Mike and Walt showcases Jimmy choosing the "Just Make Money" option (What Lalo told Jimmy when Lalo asked about the meaning of JMM on Jimmy's briefcase) instead of "Justice Matters Most". In spite of choosing that, you can see the emotional dishonesty in Jimmy/ Saul after Mike and Walt's response to his answer. In the third flashback, Chuck told Jimmy how he could always change his path if he doesn't like where he's headed, and in this case he's heading towards a direction where Kim disapproves of him suppressing his feelings about Chuck, Howard, and their deaths. In my view, while Saul does it for the money, Jimmy does things for Kim. That's why despite owning up to all his actions and further incriminating himself in court, Kim does not reciprocate Jimmy's Fingerbang gesture at the final scene. In addition, the Time Machine is a simple yet great metaphor to relate to one of the main themes of the show: Justice. You can't change what's occurred in the past, but you can learn from it and change the future. We've become so conditioned to Saul and Gene's ways that we forget that this show is still about James McGill. Keep in mind that Chuck and Jimmy's conversation regarding the changing of paths happened obviously right before Jimmy asked both Mike and Walt. The Time Machine book can also be seen multiple times in Jimmy's possession (at Jimmy's nightstand at Kim's place on Season 6, and at Saul's house.) He's clearly impacted by the book and has thought of changing his path for so long.

Jimmy making his 8 year sentence more than 80 makes me feel bad

I would love to watch a re-cut version of Better Call Saul and breaking bad everything happening in order

Mike's young days as a police officer and how he ends up taking his first bribe and all the little things Mike talked about in s6 ep13 preintro scene when he was asked what he would do wid a time machine, would make an awesome spinoff.

A key thing to mention in the Gene and Marion timeline is that Gene let’s slip about the law related to bailing out someone in Omaha, Nebraska vs Albuquerque, New Mexico. That’s when Marion connects the dots (also because Jeffie got caught up in some bad company in New Mexico) and she looks up conman Albuquerque and finds out that Gene is Saul.

This was an amazing timeline. Actually a really good video from Looper worth putting a like to. What a series, movies, story absolutely impeccable.

VERY underrated video , this is literally a breaking bad summary

Rest in Peace, Nacho. You were a Demon who wanted to be an Angel, but you couldn't escape Hell's grip. In the end, at least you went out on your own terms, like a true Bastard.

Boy, do i want the breaking bad universe to explore the 2010's

Why isn’t Kim featured more in this timeline? She’s a hugely important character. You should have included her going to work for HHM and pulling her first scam with Jimmy. You should also have included a bit of detail about how Howard Hamlin mistreated her, to explain why she wanted to take down Howard. The way you set up the timeline, that development makes no sense.

I've been a fan of the whole Breaking Bad Universe throughout all of the different shows. I grew up in Central Florida, specifically the "Space Coast". How fun it was to find out Kim Wexler had moved here and was a neighbor. Props to the production for actually filming here (unlike "The Right Stuff" and "I Dream of Jeannie" for example). Many of us here gotten a kick out of how the production changed and warped our local geography to fit us into the "BBEU". But I, for one am so proud and honored that they made us a tiny part of such a great story and magnificent group of shows...

Saul bookends Walts' madness nicely

Well put together, thanks for your effort...

The Better Call Saul Score advertisement placement is the best and most appropriate ad placement on RU-vid.

Nice recap! It would be helpful to keep the years or the decades up throughout the scenes, to help get a better sense of the timeline as we watch it. Just a suggestion :)

Love this!

This is one of the best videos on RU-vid I've ever watched!

Now that it is over..... I don't know what to do with my life.

Amazing!

This the greatest story ever told on television.

Artfully summarized.

This is very well done. New viewer - subscribed and liked!

Very good. Would like to see this in chart form.

Such a good series

perfect!

Majestic ending to a superb show, BCS is gold

Lot of people said Jeff crashed on purpose to help Gene but I don’t think so. Gene saw the police outside so Jeff could’ve just pulled away n gene could’ve gone out the back door or the police follow Jeff and he leaves still anyway. Then Jeff wouldn’t of been in jail and Gene/Saul might have not been caught.

not for the last time. she gets him out and they live happily ever after.

5:20 The epic music playing in the background of a man’s suicide is peak comedy.

I've never seen so many ads on a video under 20 mins

I think you guys might not know the difference between “Explained” and “Recap”

Haven’t seen this anywhere but I think you’re mistaken with the flash forward in S6 E9… That was definitely some time in 2009 when he was already working for Walt

I always wish Jimmy/Saul and Kim would have cried more.

The part where Jesse and Walt kidnap Saul was left out of this?

Love getting into the psychology of all these characters, and it's easy to do with how detailed the writing is. I don't see much room for any "follow ups" though. Too many characters dead to go forward in time, actors getting too old to go further back in time. Jimmy's probably in prison for the rest of his life, Kim's living in Florida and they'll probably never meet face-to-face again (of course they'll call and write) so I just don't see much opportunity for further releases. The most interesting aspect left unanswered for me is what is Gus's background in Chile, how did he get hooked up with the CEO of Madrigal, and how did Lydia become involved? If you stop and think about it, those three are the MOST responsible for all the damage and death that came about, especially Gus. Without him having done all he did, Walter and Jimmy and the rest could never have done all they did.

As the video went on, I realized more and more that Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman is the real main character of the Breaking Bad universe.

me who has already watched both shows multiple times and finished season 6 of BCS: _"I'm six parallel universes ahead of you."_

F in the chat for Combo, Tomas & even Krazy 8 lol, not even a mention xD

Why wasn’t the Sandpiper money mentioned more in s06, I thought showing Jimmy/ Saul getting his million plus money throughHHM would’ve been featured. Or did I miss something?

I love BCS and BB

0:00 also Alaska, florida, Nebraska and Kansas

Quite a ride .

Greatest TV series of all time!

It's all good man...

what a br ba universe it is, damn gotta tell u this is the one and only one series and nobody can make this gem ever again, BCS AND Br Ba are the series that everyone must watch legit.

Some of the best fiction ever made

This the type of shit i watch when it’s 1 am and I need to get my ass to sleep

Smooth sailing ⛵️

The series doesn't need some explaining, the show so good all scenes are beautifully presented from breaking bad to better call saul, unlike GOT

Breaking Bad's timeline seems easy to assume since it starts with Skylar about to give birth and ends when the little girl is about 18 months to maybe 2 yrs. old. Hard to believe all that took place is such a short amount of time.

Wait till Jessica hears what passes for rap music now

Video relesed on my birthday lest go

I'm yet to watch bcs s6 last two episodes. Should I watch this video? Guess I can watch except last two clips. And then watch last two episode's

Chuck was already divorced when Jimmy was sworn in as a lawyer.

that was tough to watch..the forbidden cigerette

I didn't know about the suicide? What about the cameo in El Camino? And how does it tie into the story?

Never realized how much this universe is similar to a GTA one.😂😂

you forgot the canon slippin jimmy events

he was inspired by Kim he did save kim from sued he did to protector her

I would really love breaking bad if it wasn’t so long in lore.

Hello dear Looper, i ak a favour about a horror movie. In one scene , a guy runs scared in the house and in last moment, he gets into the bathroom with the lights on. He realise that he is safe there protected by light. But he left the door opened and see the a creature like a witch standing at the door's corner. Another people tells me that moviie is lights out but it s not.

Something I don’t understand, in BB, S2E8, “Better Call Saul”, Saul says that “it was Ignacio”, and was surprised when Jesse and Walter don’t work for Lalo, but…both Lalo and Nacho are dead? I don’t understand why Saul would say that, did the writers just forget about this detail when writing BCS?

Ok.. me again.. what's the name of the track at the beginning?

Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad along with The Sopranos would have to be among the best TV crime dramas ever made.

Fine, but what about Huell Babineaux?!

It's saulin time

Does anyone know when the last season will b on netflix

Need to know how and when Tuco got out and what did he do upon release and what was his reaction to see Hector in a wheelchair and Lalo dead. BB and BCS don’t explain that.

no outro? surprised

call Sal Goodman.

I just don’t see Saul who he had become not accepting his 7 years and Rocky road ice cream everyday ! I think that was his real ending the other part was a dream he had the last night of his sentence in North Carolina prison.

What about Combo dude?

Tragic but deserved

Imagine a Breaking Bad Trilogy made like Godfather III. BB, BBGT, BCS

Question y’all, because I can’t find the episode: which episode shows/explains Walt breaking up with Gretchen because he felt inferior to her family’s wealth?

Got a Bryan Cranston ad… sweet

this is why i tell every naive person to watch BCS then BB and then EC

Jesse was the only one that won.

So, should I watch Better Call Saul or Breaking Bad first to follow the timeline?

wait, there was a breaking bad movie????????? and it released 4 years ago????????? holy shit~!

Hank didnt save walt and jesse from tuco. They already had him basically dead and couldve prevented anything tuco tried.

How was jesse in high school for 8 years

Walt def didn't die

Better Call Saul is goat !

Dunno if someone else has already mentioned this, but it literally just occurred to me watching this… When Combo gets killed, it’s kinda because they had such an unwarranted reputation… Combo seems to embrace the potential of Jessie’s offer more readily than the others. He even personifies the puffer fish much more so than Jessie… literally puffing up his chest flashing a piece to the big scary car, before getting popped unexpectedly by a child.

Does not make sense, Walt died in 2010, Jimmy went to Omaha, and was working at Cinabon. When Jimmy gets sent to prison, it has to be much later than 2010.

Youre wrong about why Walter shoots Mike. Walter shoots Mike because he wants the list of names and Mike wont give it to him.

That ending pissed me off Why couldn’t he lie one more time then when he got out tell the truth 🤦‍♂️ 😂

Ok

I just have one question, if nacho died before walter white started making meth. how was he in breaking bad? my memory is not serving me well right now lol

This is no way to describe such fun univers XD seriously? You guys don't have supervisor or something? 😂

Not 2001

Why am I watching this? Never saw this show, lol

This is not very good. I mean, it didnt even talk about the overlapping scenes???

2006

All this video did was call more attention to how they goofed with Kaylee’s age by giving dates.

Um, actually, you forgot about the « Slippin’ Jimmy » cartoon about jimmy’s cartoon🤓 Is what i would say if i was a NE-
