'Better Call Saul' goes back to the future at Comic-Con

'You know why God made snakes before he made lawyers? He needed the practice'

It was a big day for iconic television shows, with AMC's "Better Call Saul" making its debut at Comic-Con and generating buzz with a new character from sleazy attorney Saul Goodman's "Breaking Bad" days.

"BCS" is a prequel show to the iconic series which introduced fans to Saul (Bob Odenkirk) in its second season, in 2009.

When Saul thinks he's about to be bumped off by Walt (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse (Aaron Paul), he demands to know if it was someone called Lalo that sent them.

While many fans may never have contemplated the line again, the specter of Lalo returned to San Diego as the cast hit the stage.

Co-creator Peter Gould screened that original Lalo mention from "Breaking Bad" to jog everyone's memory, along with the first image of actor Tony Dalton ("Sens8") as the character.

Co-creator Vince Gilligan declared the fourth season, out on August 6, as the best so far, adding that the overlaps between "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" were getting bigger.

A trailer teased a more cynical Jimmy, on the verge of going off the rails and becoming Saul following the death of his brother Chuck (Michael McKean) in the season three finale.

"You know why God made snakes before he made lawyers? He needed the practice," says Jimmy.
