What do you think Jesse's life is like currently?


He didn't look like he had much of a plan after he left Walt alone to die, he just drove off like a maniac screaming. You think he got arrested and is in prison? did he get a new identity like Saul? Is he locked up in some psych ward too fucked up to be normal anymore?

I'm wondering if we'll eventually find out in Better Call Saul.

Yeah i'm praying in like the final episode of BCS, like after Jimmy becomes Saul and the story of the prequel is over, Jesse shows up at the cinnabun place looking for him and needs his help and BCS becomes a sequel to Breaking Bad with Jesse and Saul, bring back Badger and Skinny Pete as well.

??????? ummm ok.......

I'm sure we're going to get to that point. BCS is supposed to be the prequel series, then eventually run in parallel with BB, then sequel itself off of Breaking Bad throughout its tenure. The question is how much will the show run in parallel and afterwards, just a couple episodes here and there, maybe an entire season? Maybe not at all if the show gets canned due to ?

One thing for sure is, we can count on the opening sequence of the next new season to take place after Breaking Bad, like the 3 before it. Those sequences are the icing on the cake for me, so awesome.

In terms of the show running parallel with Breaking Bad i could see it going as far as Walt coming in for the first time to meet Saul and thats where it stops and the sequel to Breaking Bad begins. Although it would be fucking awesome if it kept going and showed the scenes from Breaking Bad with Walt then like When Walt or Jesse leaves we stay with Saul and see everything from Breaking Bad from his point of view, i doubt they'd do that but it'd be kinda cool.

Wasn't the last scene from present day from S3 Gene falling and passing out? I see S4 showing him maybe in the hospital being asked questions like if he has family or friends he wants to contact.

He's probably still playing the light gun edition of Rage. I'm more interested in what Skinny Pete is up to these days.

reply

The law is so complex and in trial you have to have hard evidence. All we have with jesse is "hear say" Jesse was helping Hank so its possiable that he could walk away from the whole thing.

His prints are all over that meth lab

reply

If Vince and Peter had sense and balls he'd be rotting in a grave. This show let so many characters who deserved to die walk away.

reply

That's what made it so great. It didn't follow any conventions of predictable network TV karma.

reply

>>so many characters who deserved to die walk away
So, it's just like life, huh?

reply

Hey...far less on this show then other shows
Not many survivors.
And if the OP is referring to Jesse he pretty much suffered the consequences of his sins.
The show had a thing about the consequences of ones actions.

reply

Followed his dreams and now he makes wooden boxes.

reply

You win.

His immediate course of action, upon driving through the gate and going nuclear, was most likely heading to Taco Cabeza to look for his meth head buddies from the old days, followed by a hop to the mall for an orange julius.
HOWEVER... I don’t believe the above ever materialized. If you really delve into the show, if you take the time to scrutinize each and every detail and then proceed to run a series of semi-complex calculations combined with a thorough statistical analysis... it will become patently evident to you that Jesse, upon exiting the criminal compound, proceeded to inadvertently drive the car off a cliff, scream like a bitch, jump out in the nick of time and violently roll down the mountain, only to have his fall broken by a potently blooming growth patch of Lily of the Valley.

Jesse got a job with dog fart and performs professionally as a cuckold in hardcore pornography. His favorite bull to co star with is Mandingo who he reportly finds to be a hell of a guy, real nice guy.

reply

I always envisioned a follow up about 20 years in the future and Walt's daughter all grown up and trying to find out the real truth about her father.
So she takes her inheritance money and hires a PI to track Jesse down... who's living like a hermit off the grid in an isolated cabin in Alaska under an assumed name. He works with wood and keeps to himself.
I doubt the upcoming film will go this way.

The last reply here was from two years ago.

Since then, the two hour "Breaking Bad" movie on Netflix "El Camino" has the answer.

reply

Ha, sure. But what do you think he is doing since escaping?

reply

Whatever he wants.

But he likely met a woman and settled down.

He knows how to cook!
