‘Better Call Saul’ star Bob Odenkirk bids farewell to fans in emotional video: “Thanks for giving us a chance”

Jordan Moreau  Out of all the cameos in the “Better Call Saul” finale, the most surprising had to have been Betsy Brandt back as Marie, since fans haven’t seen her since the final episodes of “Breaking Bad” in 2013. Dean Norris had appeared as Hank Schrader, Marie’s husband and a DEA agent, in “Better Call Saul” Season 5, but having Marie cross over into Saul’s (Bob Odenkirk) story seemed almost too far-fetched. That is, until Saul was finally arrested, and Marie was there to watch his downfall.Brandt only appeared in a handful of scenes, but her appearance was cathartic for Marie, who finally got some justice for Hank’s death near the end of “Breaking Bad.” She even got to tell off Saul after his arrest: “No matter what they do with you now, no matter where they put you or for how long, it will never be enough.”

Breaking Bad characters for “glorifying meth makers”.Last month, bronze statues of the fictional characters Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) from the series were unveiled at the Albuquerque Convention Centre in New Mexico. The ceremony was attended by Breaking Bad cast members and crew, along with Albuquerque mayor Tim Keller.The statues, commissioned by Sony Pictures Television and show creator Vince Gilligan, were donated in the hopes they will attract “busloads of tourists” to the city, which served as the setting for Breaking Bad and spin-off Better Call Saul.Speaking to Fox News, Republican state representative Rod Montoya criticised the statues, saying: “I’m glad New Mexico got the business, but really?
