As a genre, the anthology series has seen better days, as further attempts to resurrect shows like The Twilight Zone and Night Gallery have proven. The anthology genre is a type of storytelling that is so exciting, often allowing you to create such a whirlwind of unique story ideas, however with Breaking Bad, the ingredients all seem to have piled up over 62 episodes. You have a fully realised world that is filled with complex, multi-dimensional characters and limitless potential for storytelling opportunities. Just think about how great it would be to have an episode that takes place post-Heisenberg, where his name is now a legend among the criminal underworld. He's become a ghost story, an urban legend to the tweakers and dealers. Follow this with a lighthearted journey into Saul's failed laser tag ventures, and whatever shady things Danny was trying to get going. You could even jump back further, bringing Cranston and co. back for an unseen pre-Heisenberg adventure that adds more depth to the Breaking Bad world.
