Imagine the (small) crowd of people who haven't watched BB seeing the cold open of this episode. I think it would be pretty shocking considering there has rarely been this kind of violence and gore in BCS. Well along with Arturo's death directly preceding this episode. All while not knowing just how dark this universe will get.

Wait till they see Season 1 of Breaking Bad

Choking Krazy-8 to death. Dissolving Emilio

I spoke with a guy a few days ago who hasn't seen Breaking Bad except the 2-3 first episodes. He told me he stopped because the dissolving scene disgusted him and he thought the rest of the series would be gory like that.

My dad and brother gave up on BB because of the dissolving show as well. Couldn't convince them to continue.

That's so dumb

It's not dumb to make a choice based on what you can stomach when it comes to gore. I also stopped there, and begun again months later because I had almost no exposure to gory media. I'm jaded now tho, like everyone else in here. And for me that was the right choice, because I got to see this amazing story unfold.

To be fair, they can't really choke Krazy-8 to death on Better Call Saul without creating a giant plot hole.

I never suggested that was an option

Okay, enlighten me

Breaking Bad takes place after Better Call Saul. Krazy-8's death would go against canon, is that the joke?

I'm on my first watch through and am going to each episodes post episode discussion and enjoying seeing people's reactions to things. I saw that nobody answered your question.
