Despite the revealing finale of Better Call Saul, spinoff possibilities amass for Vince Gilligan whose characters are still shrouded in mystery.
In the end, most of the character arcs in Better Call Saul ‘s finale ended in black and white reconciliation. Lifeless and buried in a grave under a secret super-lab. Incarcerated after a final sacrifice for love. Relocated to Florida hoping palm trees and pro bono work becomes peace. Despite these resolutions, there are still endless possibilities to expand the series through its minor characters or small crossover details from the show’s counterpart Breaking Bad. And although the show's creators Vince Gillian and Peter Gould said it might be a minute, they haven’t ruled out more New Mexico-based crime content.
Walter Jr. and his father's tumultuous relationship was best emphasized through the flip-flopping between the names Walter Jr. and Flynn. In fact, throughout most of the show, Walt Jr. continually appeared closer to his uncle Hank Schrader (Dean Norris). The conflict seemingly ended at the end of Breaking Bad, when Walter declined to confront Jr. one last time outside his school, while Walter was still on the run.
The audience was left to speculate how Flynn handled the public arrest of his father and generally how the White family coped with the infamy. And, what about the money? That slice of the $9.72 million of drug money Walter coerced Gretchen (Jessica Hecht) and Elliott Shwartz (Adam Godley) to transfer via irrevocable trust to the family after Water's death. Perhaps Flynn, who typically held his moral compass close, donated most of the money to methamphetamine rehabilitation centers. There’s also the obvious like-father-like-son spinoff possibility. Or maybe something more layered like an introspective narrative on Flynn’s life, which has been devoted to following his uncle's footsteps in an attempt to avenge his father's crimes.
