My initial post was way off. It was called Tinyzone. I googled it, it was one of the first 2 links. You can search Better Call Saul and all the seasons are there. Multiple servers. Etc.
that was awesome. great ending to a great show. the only thing I was expecting as it ended was to follow Kim out to her car, which I was hoping would have a NM tag.
While it would have been nice to see Saul Goodman wriggle out of one last jam, it was more satisfying that he finally got to be the lawyer that he’d always hoped he’d be albeit at his own plea/sentencing hearing. Really the only time he would’ve made Chuck proud.
Right, but then there would have been wiggle room. “What are they going to talk about?!? Are they going to plot something” Showing her leave prison puts that to rest. Shows Jimmy is good serving his life in prison. And that Kim can walk away from a building housing criminals and work to get her life back.
Probably to take any potential heat off Kim and give the government someone to pin everything on. I thought the finale was just okay relative to the last 3-4 seasons of the show. Rhea deserves the Emmy. It's a top ten show for me all time and could have been top 3-5 if they would have given me more with the ending. Very sad to see the BB universe come to a close but it was the right time.
That was beautiful. Saul being Jimmy in Kim's eyes is all that mattered to him anymore. Didnt care if anyone else saw him as Saul. Just a fantastic way to end it.
To finally get it all off his chest. “Come clean” so to speak. He was confessing more to Kim than anything else I think.
This show got consistently better across every season*. Every major character was perfect. I think it was the best show I’ve ever seen. *I wasn’t loving the second half of the final season but the last two episodes may have fixed that. Idk. Having a hard time organizing my thoughts on it, but in a good way.
I'm embarrassed for yall that really entertained the notion he was about to fuck Kim over smdh. And I feel like a lot of you are sleeping on the fact that he gets the idea to give them "more" when he learns that Kim is still vulnerable to Mrs Hamlin's civil suit. He makes the choice that he does to save her, period.
We saw her tell him that. They even showed part of that conversation in the recap at the beginning last night. When he called her at work
I think he cared about Chuck but his defense mechanism when hurt that allowed him to bury that care was insanely strong, making a point to have Saul react in the same flippant manner to Kim when she decided to leave as Jimmy did with Chuck's death is what convinced me
I cheated a bit and started BB last week, only a few episodes deep though, definitely a bit jarring going straight from peak BCS to early BB before the show hit its stride
watching Gene get pulled out of the dumpster: "how's ol Jimmy boy gonna wriggle his way out of this one?" watching Jimmy manhandle the US attorneys:
well then i have the perfect thread for you https://www.the-mainboard.com/index...that-deserves-more-attention-garfield.182265/
Can't help but try to recall when a show ending made me this sad, like I was losing something I cared about. Maybe M*A*S*H when I was a kid (I'm old) obviously Breaking Bad or The Shield is all I can come up with.
Him finding out that Kim broke and confessed finally broke Saul. He cared about 3 people in his life, himself, Kim, and Chuck. That's why we got that scene with Jimmy bringing Chuck food early on in Chuck's illness. He loved Chuck despite Chuck's disdain for Jimmy. We eventually saw Jimmy break when he realized Chuck would never respect him. It's why he mentioned chuck during his confession. He was finally admitting to himself and the world that he was responsible for Chuck's suicide and he wasn't going to let the same thing happen to Kim.
to add to this, I think he'd always held out hope that Kim would "get back in the game" so to speak, and when he learned that his only true partner in life had officially closed the door on that to finally face the music he became ready to do the same, the game was over for him at that point
I usually don’t have much of an emotional reaction to TV/movies (or life in general) but that part definitely made me feel a little sad. My GF fell asleep right after the courtroom scene so she doesn’t know what happened at the end. She asked me this morning and I said we could rewatch the end, I won’t spoil it but it was a little sad. We’ll see if she agrees or thinks I’m weird lol
One of the things I’ve always liked about BB and now BCS is they do a really good job of giving enough of a backstory to where the viewer can kind of know or at least guess why the character is the way they are. Even the flash back to Walt talking about Gray Matter last night. I had kind of forgotten about that backstory so when he mentioned it I just had an “oh shit!” type reaction.
And it revealed something about Walter. He had convinced himself that His Best friend and ex-GF orchestrated his exit from Gray Matter when the reality is that Hank's own insecurities caused his exit. Hank's need to be recognized as the smartest man in the room always prevented himself from achieving his full potential.
And if I remember right in BB wasn’t there a point where Walt could have kind of walked away with a lot of money but refused to do so because he wanted to “top” how successful Gray Matter turned out?
I get this feeling that he was always like an undercover asshole who wasn’t strong enough to outwardly be an asshole all the time but wanted to be then just silently fumed when he couldn’t.
And him breaking into their house and forcing them to give his money to his kids as a power play against them.
there were plenty of times he could have walked away. It stopped being about the money for WW early on. Remember the "I'm in the Empire business" speech?
Also, when Chuck dies it is the first time Kim sees him as totally unrepentant and unphased by the consequences of his actions. She was totally spooked by him then and it was really his first obvious break toward Saul. At the time I think a lot of viewers thought she would run from him. He knew that she was taken aback and he needed to let her know he did regret it and felt remorse. If he didn’t put that out there he wasn’t entirely coming clean with her and that was the whole goal to that speech. His reaction to Chuck’s death was quite similar to Kim divorcing him. Tough who gives a shit exterior but crushed on the inside.
