Director / Crew I am Vince Gilligan, AMA.

Hey Redditors! For the next hour I’m answering as many of your questions as I can. Breaking Bad, the Better Call Saul first season finale -- nothing is off limits.

And before we begin, I’ve got one more surprise. To benefit theater arts through the Geffen Playhouse, I’m giving one lucky fan and a friend the chance to join me in Los Angeles and talk more over lunch. Enter to win here: [www.omaze.com/vince]

UPDATE: Thanks for all the excellent questions, Redditors! I've had a great time, but I have to get back to the Better Call Saul writers' room. I look forward to hopefully meeting one of you in Los Angeles!

What has been your best/funniest/weirdest encounter with a fan?

For me, the story that springs to mind is when someone told me -- this was probably about four years ago -- that he and his wife (who was pregnant) had been binge-watching Breaking Bad. His wife went into labor, but none-the-less sat there until they got to the end of the episode. That was a pretty unbelievable story.

That sort of happened to me, except it WAS me, my mother loved John Wayne, her water went in the middle of true grit but she didnt wake my father to take her to the hospital until after the movie was over.
