Tim Molloy: Can you talk about the status of the possible spinoff?
Vince Gilligan: All my writers are wonderful writers. And they're all ready to run their own shows. In this particular case, since Peter created the character, it felt more than right to be working with him on this, and we are plugging away coming up with a pitch and a take on it for the network and studio and hopefully everyone will agree that there's a really fun show to be had here. And hopefully we'll get it up and running, and then Peter will run it. I'd love to see that happen.
It's not a done deal yet, but it's definitely something we're full speed ahead on trying to get going.
Will it be a half hour or an hour?
There's a way to do both versions of the show. There's a way to make it a half-hour show and make it a little more -- I don’t want to say sitcom-y, but a little more traditionally half-hour comedic. Or there's a way to do it where it fits more snuggly in with the "Breaking Bad" universe, in which it's an hour-long show. As you can imagine with Saul Goodman as a character, a show like that would have to have plenty of humor to it. But also because he works for some pretty scary clientele sometimes, there'd be a bit of drama in it as well. We're trying to nail that down. As of yet, we haven't completely figured that out ourselves.
Any decision on whether it's a prequel or the further adventures of Saul?
Those are the two big questions we ask ourselves -- is it a half hour or an hour, is it a prequel or a sequel? But having said that, I have to be coy as to whether it even could be a sequel. Because you never know, when the dust settles at the end of our final eight episodes, where everybody's gonna be and who's gonna be left standing. I can't even say for sure that it could be a sequel. It may be, it may not.

If you're strapped for time, read the episode summaries on wiki.I have to watch the first half of this season again to refresh my memory

Just need to go through the lead up to how he killed Mike again. I was so disappointed

bruised ego
Just rewatched the first two seasons and starting on the third again to refresh my memory.
I'm really curious to see what really happened between Walt and Gretchen. It seemed like that had a very romantic relationship before Walt left Gray Matter. In season one she said that he left her on a 4th of July weekend but there wasn't really any details to why. Hoping the last couple of episodes elaborates on that.
I'm thinking...
That the finale has something to do with Walt getting revenge on Gray Matter, probably just reaching though
Re-watching season 5. The dialog between Walter and the head of the Phoenix organization in the desert was epic.
