In its first season, Better Call Saul did the seemingly impossible — the show stepped out of the shadow of its parent show , Breaking Bad , and became its own unique entity, while still managing to compete with Breaking Bad. The Poison Master lives in the same world but tells a completely different story. Different story, but still a great TV show in its own right. However, while Better Call Saul has taken steps to create its own legacy, those behind the show still hold a special place in their hearts for Breaking Bad, and the Easter episode of Breaking Bad in Season 1 Easter eggs are sneaked into Better Call Saul to tie the entire series together—a tradition that continues in season two.
Season 2 of Better Call Saul may only be a few episodes long, but it doesn't stop reminding viewers that the world of Albuquerque is a small one, with the same faces seemingly appearing again and again. While Jimmy McGill will inevitably get closer to the hilarious Saul Goodman that audiences are familiar with, more and more of Breaking Bad is making its way into the world of Better Call Saul , primarily By using similar props and the same cast. Actors who play small roles in each series. Here are some Easter eggs you might have missed from the first two episodes of Breaking Bad season 2.
Ken Wins Returns
You might see this photo of actor Kyle Bernheimer and think to yourself, "Oh! That guy! He's in that thing." Bernheimer has played roles in a variety of movies and TV shows Various minor characters, one of whom happens to be Ken Wince's character from the first season of Breaking Bad - an obnoxious businessman who steals Walt's parking spot and ends up on the wrong side of it. Heisenberg's rage. In Better Call Saul , Ken Wince appears again, this time talking loudly at a bar and falling victim to Jimmy and Kim's little scam. AMC confirmed that the actor is actually playing the same character in its online story sync feature. It seems like a lot has been lost in this recurring character for a guy named Ken "Wins".
Zafiro Añejo: The criminal’s tequila
As if seeing a long-forgotten face wasn't enough to bring back memories, Ken Wins also brought a very special bottle of tequila. The distinctive Zafiro Añejo cap reappears when Jimmy and Kim convince Ken Wins to buy a "$50 a shot" bottle of tequila. In an episode following the premiere of Talking Saul , showrunners Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould confirmed that Zafiro Añejo was last seen on Breaking Bad at the time Gus poisons the bottle and kills members of the Juarez cartel as revenge for the Fallen. friend. Thankfully, Jimmy and Kim's bottles were not poisoned.
Officer Saxton appears again
After drug dealer and Hummer enthusiast Daniel's home is broken into, "playuh" calls Albuquerque police to come take a look around. One of the police officers is Officer Saxton, played by actor Stoney Westmoreland. Officer Saxton must have been in Albuquerque for some time after the events of Better Call Saul because, as Reddit user solaybro noticed, Saxton also appeared in Breaking Bad Season 3, replied Saxton Keller's complaint that her house had been broken into. Officer Saxton seems to be the go-to guy for burglaries in the ABQ area.
While these callbacks are the most explicit, so far this season has offered no hints at the rest of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul 's shared universe. When Jimmy received the "World's Second Best Lawyer" mug as a gift, Tumblr user heisenbergchronicles realized that it would at some point be replaced by the "World's Greatest Lawyer" mug. There are also rumors on Reddit that the fan-favorite character may be coming soon. As Better Call Saul 's timeline moves closer to Breaking Bad , fans should expect more and more crossover between the shows - with Walter White eventually having to show up and ruin Saul's life, So everyone knew how it was going to end, but the journey that fall proved to be just as exciting.
