Is this clip just a joke - or are they going to try to have people from breaking bad playing different characters?

Part of the show reportedly is a prequel. Mike is on the show in past scenes with Saul.

Yes, it's not a different character.

I thought it was all a prequel. Though I did notice that one teaser shows "Albuquerque" documents being shredded.

It ups my excitement a little if they're doing prequel and sequel.

Odenkirk was on the WTF podcast a couple months ago, after having just wrapped up shooting, and the only thing he really said about it was that it was surprisingly far more intense than he thought it would be going into it, an opinion shared by Vince Gilligan.

A review from NPR - basically saying it starts out as good as Breaking Bad did

I have my DVR set for a series recording. I'm a bit more excited for it than I initially was after seeing clips and reading that NPR review. I still think it has a lot to live up to though.

I'll admit I was late bloomer with Breaking Bad (just finished watching it late last year). Loved Breaking Bad of course and I'm really excited for this series.

The wait is almost over. Love that they're having a two-night premiere on back-to-back evenings.

Most of my stuff piles up on the DVR. I couldn't wait to see each new episode of Fargo and this series will likely be the same.

I'm always weary of a prequel/spinoff of a great show, as they rarely deliver. But I'll give this is a shot cause his character was so memorable.

yeah, I mean, it's not like we haven't had good spin offs. Who ever remembers that Cheers spinoff anyway? ugh!

I'm still very skeptical about this one. That extended trailer didn't manage to do much for me.

Was already very excited for this. Even more so after reading both of those positive reviews.

Between this and the Mr. Show reunion shooting in March, 2015 is gonna be the year of Odenkirk.

After two huge successes (Breaking Bad, Fargo) I hope this is a third for him.

Don't know what you're talking about -- The Tortellis was awesome.

Hey, AMC has an online comic / graphic novel providing some additional backstory for Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad:

Thanks for the link. I wondered how Mike got the info. Although he could have just looked up the school info online, I doubt he's much into computers.
