Wait a minute, wait a minute, we’re all burying the lede here.  There’s a huge can of worms that’s been opened up here. If Doctor Ruth is from a different timeline, then that means the Peter Cushing movies, in which The Doctor is a human named Who, are canon. Mind blown.

Here I disagree. Walter should show up near the end of THIS season, and Breaking Bad will start out as a very minor B plot, as it was in Saul’s life, until it takes over everything.

I’m walking with dead people (Wow!)

And to explain the joke of the closing song:

Yeah, Taxi Driver didn’t get anyone shot.

Hell. Did you not see the end of Angels in America?

So it’s not The Edward G. Robinson Story?

The opening sequence is clearly a riff on All That Jazz, especially with Tamme saying “Showtime!” the same way Roy Scheider does in the move, and with the same Vivaldi concerto playing (at least I think it’s the same. Who am I kidding? All Vivaldi is the same.)

Um... anyone else want to tell him? ... Well, y’see , Joe Hill is a pen name, his real name’s Joseph Hillstrom King. Steve’s his dad.
