A million years ago they should have done it with Andy Garcia.

Maybe the son is so pissed about his sister’s death that he wants vengeance on any who took part in her death (there’s always some other villains to throw in as taking part in her tragedy).

Or show what happened in the years between The Godfather II Robert De niro part ending and the beginning of The Godfather I.

That’s gotta be a clump of 25 years easy.

I have enormous respect for Vince Gilligan and his visionary construction of the perfect moral tragedy in “Breaking Bad”. From episode one until Walter’s (apparent) demise among the ruins of his beloved mega-meth lab the series was pitch perfect in dissecting the human ego and its will to self destruction.

It is because of the respect and admiration that I have for the perfection of BB that I am saddened that they felt the need to gild the lily with an epilogue. I just can’t imagine anything about Jesse’s trajectory that could add to the emotional flow of the series. I was elated that Walter was able to effect his escape in the last episode which was consistent with his long love/hate buddy movie loyalty to Jesse through the entire series but I viewed that as his last grasp at some self respect after torching every other person that he loved or cared about in the world. I know it’s too late but I wish Vince had just let it stand on its own and not try to milk any more tragedy from his masterpiece.
