'Breaking Bad' Predictions: Where Will Saul, Huell, and Holly Be in 10 Years?

Before Saul's uneventful exit to Nebraska last Sunday, he joked that he'd be managing a Cinnabon in his new life. I doubt that in 10 years, we'll find find Mr. Goodman slinging sloppy pastries — after all, where would he wear all his offensively bright button-up shirts? As I see it, Saul will be a franchise tycoon, running as many cardiac-arrest-inducing food chains as he can. He'll be like Gus Fring but without the meth or lackluster sense of humor. Also, Saul will probably still have his whole face.

The Badger and Skinny Pete Experience

While I hope they find themselves a better band name, in 10 years, Badger and Skinny Pete will still be exchanging Star Trek theories and trying to become members of a successful band. They will have mild success which includes but is not limited to: having their song featured in Grand Theft Auto 14: Overkill as well as an episode of an MTV series produced by Rob Dyrdek and having their band featured on the homepage of HighTimes.com.

11-Year-Old Art Prodigy Holly White

The pain of never knowing her father (come on, we know Walt's never going to be a real papa to this little darling) combined with watching her mother suffer (either in prison for Walt's crimes or in life post-Walt) will send little Holly straight into a dark, introspective place. Her only outlet for all the horror that has befallen her family will be through art, and thus one beautiful thing emerges from Walt's destruction. Hey, someone's got to come out of this doing something amazing.

'New York Times' Best-Selling Author Flynn White

Flynn, with the encouragement of his only friend Louis, will find the courage to tell his story in a non-fiction best-seller titled Son of Heisenberg. He will appear on all the talk shows, pal around with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, and make millions which he will then pour into Holly's art career.

Huell and Patrick's Center For Young Future Henchmen

What about Huell? After being left alone in that crappy motel room and waiting for the return of Hank (who's now dead), Huell will have had some time to think. He can't waste his life being the guy who takes the fall for the other guys, but he only knows how to hench (that's the verb version of henchman, right?). Huell and Patrick (Saul's other go-to guy) could make sure Saul's great American office doesn't go to waste and start their own henchman training center.

Like Grandfather, Like Grandaughter (Sort of)

People like Mike Ehrmantraut don't learn to be complete and total badasses. They're born that way. Since little Kaylee isn't about to grow up with the absurd nest egg Mike tried to leave her, she'll be forced to find her own path and those Ehrmantraut instincts will take her right into the world's seedy underbelly. But Kaylee's a good one, so she'll take her ruthless to the navy, where she'll be one of the first female SEALs in history.

The Silence of the Beneke

After being disabled by Huell and Patrick, Ted will fade away into a life of solitude in offensively perfect home. He will never again stack oranges in a bowl or hire a married accountant who gets him hot and bothered.
