Corrected entry: Backsplash tile like that in Kim's apartment (the kind pasted onto the wall), didn't come to the market until 2009.
Better Call Saul (2015)
1 corrected entry in show generally
Starring: Michael McKean, Bob Odenkirk, Patrick Fabian, Michael Mando, Rhea Seehorn
Continuity mistake: Near the start when Mike's pulling over, the car parks literally perfectly along the side of the road. Seconds later when camera shows him stepping out it's at least 12 inches away from the curb. (00:11:00)
Jimmy McGill: YOU! WILL! ATONE!
Howard Hamlin: What can we do for you, Jimmy?
Trivia: Blanca Gomez, the wife of DEA Agent Steve Gomez, appears for the first and only time in the courtroom scene during Jimmy McGill's final hearing. Although she had been mentioned many times in both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, she had never been seen until this moment. She is seated next to Marie Schrader but does not have any spoken lines.
Question: Should I watch the entirety of Breaking Bad before I watch Better Call Saul?
Answer: It is my opinion that you should absolutely watch Breaking Bad first. If you did not know, Better Call Saul takes place before the events of Breaking Bad. At the time I am posting this, BCS is mid-way through season 5, with season 6 on the way perhaps in a year. So if you binge Better Call Saul now, you would not be able to "flow" right into Breaking Bad. To me, it's better to watch in the order that they came out. Breaking Bad was a phenomenal show, and now watching Better Call Saul, it is fun to watch the events unfold and start to lead up to what we saw in BB. Enjoy.
Answer: Now that it's ended, this question can be fully answered. Better Call Saul includes events after the conclusion of Breaking Bad, as well as references to and descriptions of major events from the latter. Not only would Breaking Bad be spoiled for you by watching Better Call Saul first, but there's a lot that wouldn't be understood.
Chosen answer: So far the show has been about Saul's struggles as a lawyer long before the Breaking Bad timeline (Spoiler Alert: It starts out for the most part at a time when he didn't even go by the name Saul).
Correction: Backsplash tiles have been available for decades.
Linear stone backsplash was not available back in '02 - came out in '05 and box stores started carrying it '07 with few choices and it was like $15 per sf where now it's about $5.
They were actually around as early the 1970s.
Linear stone backsplash has been around way before '02. The kind in Kim's apartment may have been somewhat difficult to come by in '02, but it certainly was available back then.
