Better Call Saul Season 3: 8 Huge Questions That Must Be Answered
3. When Will The Past Meet The Future?
As the past drives on in its inevitable transformation into the story we know as Breaking Bad and even beyond, Better Call Saul’s Nebraska-set flash forwards to Jimmy’s future as Cinnabon manager Gene are set to grow increasingly tantalising and ominous. Unwilling to attract any attention to himself, even from that of the police, Jimmy now lives in the fear and suspicion that any man he sees might be the one carrying the bullet that’s been seeking him for a long time.
Now in its third season, the show will need to reveal more details about Saul’s life in these flash forwards, and more hints about the story these scenes are telling. An appearance, whether in person or via news reports, of familiar characters would help to flesh out the world that Jimmy finds himself in as the ultimate answers of where this story is heading continue to be uncovered.
Whether death is awaiting Jimmy, or a light at the end of the tunnel, season 3 must use these flash forwards to provide further evidence as to whether this is ultimately a tale of redemption, or of tragedy.
