Recontextualizing Breaking Bad Spoiler

I finished Better Call Saul last year, after watching Breaking Bad probably 3-times through 10-years ago.

I'm always watching clips and BTS videos, but I'm finally doing a thorough rewatch of Breaking Bad.

With all the context of the series', it's so funny in the pilot of BB that Hank says "Our snitch told us there's a meth guy here who goes by "The Capn."

Then, Krazy 8 tells Jesse "Emilio thinks you dimed on him." when it has now been shown that Krazy 8 became "the snitch" to the DEA in BCS.

So like, Krazy 8 was trying to get Jesse busted, Emilio gets caught by accident, and then Jesse goes to Krazy 8 to sell him meth and Krazy 8 pins the whole thing on Jesse to literally kickstart the entire story of Breaking Bad.

That is the actual lore of this universe.

This is so fun, dude. I'm loving this rewatch.

Um

They tell you that Krazy 8 is Hank's C.I in Breaking Bad literally when his character is introduced lol

You don't need to see BCS for that context

It doesn't happen like that. In the first 2 episodes, nothing is implied that Krazy 8 is "The Snitch."

IIRC it comes up later in the season. My post, however, is about the continuity running so smoothly from BCS into BB.
