Better than felina

It was a perfect ending. I am satisfied.

I was really worried about the ending since I knew he would end up in jail but I just didnt want to see it. But I was really impressed with the ending, I like how he proved it to himself and everyone that he could still get away with it (with the 7 year negotiation), but in the end gave it up because he wouldn’t be able to live with himself. I’m happy with him going for life because he had a way of not.

@@drewy1019 definitely NOT better than Felina but it was pretty good.

Wonderful finale! Rating it a 10! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Stuff has been happening way faster in this season than expected - like Lalo dying only like mid way through?? We were all like WHAT? Not complaining btw just an observation! Literally so fucking sad this show is over

I was like no no no when he dropped his diamonds

@@DebitAdams Me, too!

@@whirlwind872 and it feels like forever ago same with Howard's death yet it was in the same season

@@DebitAdams I literally gasped cause I knew this is it, Gene is going to prison.

If Saul actually kept the 7 and a half years. He would have been released on June of 2018. Just a few months after the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl (Mike was a Philadelphia Eagles fan).

@@RenaldyCalixteyeah. He would’ve been able to see the last couple seasons, including the finale. Wait…

@@littlekingtrashmouth9219 Maybe Mike's granddaughter goes to college in Philadelphia and celebrates the Eagles victory in 2018.

​@@RenaldyCalixtenawww he'd be cheering alongside EDP 😭

@@superslime3523 who is EDP?

Ooooh nice one!

Yeah, I think people try to make too much of a comparison between BCS and BB. BB was explicitly about change and how Walter started with good intentions but gradually became a monster. BCS is about Jimmy learning to accept the different parts of himself.

nah, he went back the being Jimmy. Being Gene was the prison he desperately wanted to escape (you see him doing the exact same stuff he did at cinnabon, but in prison he makes bread). He couldn't stay gene for long - that was one big act, a boring one. Slipping Jimmy/Saul in the end put up one more show and basically committed suicide - after winning the jackpot that is. 'It's showtime!!'. But all that show is worth nothing without Kim. In the end, Kim was the one who had immense influence over him - she just couldn't help herself around him. And he can't really help himself around her: He throws everything out the window just to be able to be with her. She sort of killed the broken bad Kim off herself, by moving away, becoming very passive, mediocre - wanting less (though we see her returning to the law, similar to the boring work she had to do as punishment from HHM, but pleasing nonetheless). It is what moved nearly all James' steps - especially after he heard Kim was interested in his fate. He also desperately wanted to talk about his past to Francesca - because Gene was killing Jimmy. That's where the whole Saul act comes from, his need to escape reality, to be on top (but of what? Walt had similar issues). Seems he finally realised he really is a chimp with a machinegun - Chuck was right. He put down the gun (his big mouth). And he finally reconnected with Kim - worth it. Kim also moved him this way by confessing and telling him to give himself up before that. It is what changes the game for him (and she knew that). There is only Jimmy and there are 2 acts - acts he finally dropped. The prisoners will keep seeing the con-man, but he is no longer there. When they hear he traded 7 years for a lifesentence... Better don't call Saul. Saul gone.

Gene McGoodman?

WOW... such a brilliant interpretation for the finale!

;-;

Imagine how low the sentence would have been if Kim hadn’t told them about Howard.

I really don’t understand how they could charge “Saul” with any part of the 2 DEA murders. There weren’t any survivors, so nobody knew what actually happened. In addition, Walt took a hit out on Jesse, but not Hank, and Saul didn’t arrange this; we don’t know for sure if Saul even knew the orders for the hit considering Walt spoke directly to Todd and then Jack. Saul admitted to more than he should’ve. Why intentionally get years added to a prison sentence?

Slipping jimmy or Saul woulda never went out like that. Horrible ending.

Yeah, but in the prison he’s known as Saul- where he’s going to die…

grea catcth

Excellent observation!

Just lacking the money part😉

Why do you think is ok for Jesse to not go to jail? Why should Saul go?

@@alfredjohnson3642 I think it’s completely unfair, Saul may have been a conman but he did not want to hurt anyone including Howard! 86 years is absurd!

@@iluvanimals4evr Maybe Saul didn't want to see anyone hurt. But he constantly hurt people; Chuck, Kim, Howard, Howard's wife, Ernesto, Francesca - and that's before you even get to his relationship with Walter. He knowingly aids and abets a drug manufacturer and dealer; puts him in touch with a known cartel kingpin, and profits from the relationship. How many people die because Saul ignored Mike's advice? How many meth addicts were created because Walt and Jesse could continue their trade and actually get better at it? So no, not unfair. Jimmy confesses his culpability to the court - and yes, it was the right thing to do and the only way Jimmy could be redeemed.

I agree and the subtle filming: the Saul cardboard cutout in the dumpster and then Gene caught in the dumpster, the Exit sign, the lighter flame being in colour against the black and white etc. etc Just brilliant 👍

H nll

small? quiet? "better call saul, better call saul, better call saul..." what a bad, really bad scene.

@@barsam2a Why is that scene a "really bad scene"?

@@barsam2a just keep quiet kid

Honestly I thought the same thing.

That's a good point, and all the prisoners knowing his name and slogan on the bus pretty much confirms it. He's done a lot of favours for those prisoners and their friends.

@@auracle6184 not really, he doesn't want to accept he's Saul when the first guys recognize him. He left Saul behind. Though it does work out quite well

@@murmurrrr I'm not so sure. He resists at first, perhaps it's something to do with his life as Gene where the one thing he didn't want was to be recognised as Saul. Once the chanting starts, he gives a little smile like he's thinking this might not be so bad after all. Whether it's as the "Saul" persona or not, he has those skills and is going to a place where they will be extremely useful.

@@murmurrrr maybe temporarily but he quickly accepts it

I don't agree, the look she gave over her shoulder as she walked out indicates that it's over.

Rhea said she thinks Kim would likely continue to visit Jimmy. I think Jimmy made a huge mistake. His relationship with Kim still seems good enough and he could easily have kept the deal, letting him out after seven years. Kim is going to get rolled by Cheryl Hamlin's civil suit so Jimmy spending the rest of his life in prison (he's middle-aged and there's no federal parole) doesn't do anything.

In my mind, Kim leaves Florida, moves to Colorado, does pro bono work, and visits Jimmy all the time - a bittersweet ending

@@halfbakedproductions7887 there is Federal Parole.

@@halfbakedproductions7887 of course jimmy made a huge mistake...but its not jimmy fault..its the writers fault with the need to do something special ...duh....who in their right mind will willingly take a life sentence over 7 years at a nice jail with golf and ice Cream . Kim is going to go bankrupt she won't be able to afford to visit jimmy. if he took the 7 years he could have got out and helped Kim they could have been friends or more who knows but he would be there for her.. instead he thinks locking himself away is what Kim wants..stupid..if he still felt guilt after 7 years he could volunteer and help others..... show ending was awful...

Wow that is a great easter egg!

He didn't come back to free Jesse, he was gonna kill him with the rest of Jack's crew but saw he was their prisoner and then he saved him

@@MrStoitchkov8 exactly! but yeah, the watch was a reference to his possible regrets!

Or even the mere fact that he embarked Jessie into this madness...

He didn’t even know Jesse was there

@@thezeek2745 He knew

Dude so true. Walts laugh is soooooo amazing in that episode. 👻

They were laughing for completely different reasons though.

Yep, feels like a very forced reference

@@_zigger_ I liked the finale but yeah i agree that part felt kind of cheesy

Only you would know. Bravo @Heisenberg

Great analysis but a major problem. Walter White feared dying without building something larger than life. This is why he was so fixated on Grey Matter. It was large and successful company that would outlive his former business partners Gretchen and Elliot. If they died the company would still continue. Walter wanted to die knowing he built something as large and powerful as Grey Matter. This is why he peacefully welcomed his death in the Neo Nazi's lab room. He was looking at the symbol of his powerful meth empire one final time before he died. Ironically Skyler, and the rest of Walt's family were scared of Walter dying. They were unhappy Walter refused the money for treatment from Gretchen and Elliot.

@@RenaldyCalixte Eh, I think it goes either way. Walter was scared of his mortality. Whether or not he had built something was a factor, but it all came down to the initial fear from the pilot, that he was dying from something he couldn't control. Felina as a finale to the series comes back to that original fear and allows Walter to confront it head-on. Walt already knew that he had built something that "mattered" before that, even if the thing he said he built it for (Walt's Family) was destroyed in the process. My read on the ending is him finally accepting the death he was so scared of in the pilot that would motivate him to build a meth empire.

@@Robin0928 My only counter argument is that Walter openly admitted to Skyler that the meth business was for himself. He took pride in the business in front of Skyler even tho he knew he lied about it being for the family. Walter didn't do this until the Finale and his anger in Season 1 towards Gretchen and Elliot highlights his obsessions with building a large Empire but he hid this from people (until Season 5 when he confessed to Jesse the truth about Grey Matter. Are you in the money business or the meth business, I'm in the Empire business). Even in the Finale Walter wanted to kill Jesse for trying to steal his meth business but changes his mind when he sees Jesse is a slave of the Neo Nazi's. Walter kills the Neo Nazi's and saves Jesse so that no one will recreate his Empire (and yes I do know it was revenge for Hank too but that was less important).

I tend to agree with Walt here though. It's bs xD Time is a one way street and it is the thing that makes regret possible - because things that happened, well, happened. Jimmy didn't need a timemachine to change the story, he just conned his way through it all. Love changed him. Hatred consumed him (until everything was gone. Stuck in a dumpster, desperately looking for diamonds while his life was hell on earth... Pretty powerful symbolism right there).

@@corbeau-_- Wait, do you agree or disagree with me?

@@YggdrasilAudio I agree with both of you.

Stfu ... The idea is to solicit that there is no hope for a human to prosper. That Saul "humans" should just give up their exhausting struggle & turn themselves in. People have been dying from going to prison for a long, long time. It is sick how they portray it as comically similar to Genes old life at Cinnabon when he is in the kitchen there at prison. Any human that goes to prison for any extensive amount of time is doomed to be killed by other inmates. Horrifying truth. It is a death sentence for humans. All propaganda & subliminal messaging through the last 6 episodes.

Saul urged Walter because he has a family. Saul has no family in fact it was Kim's courage that motivated Jimmy to be courageous and kill Saul.

Kaspers Liepins Thank you so much for the SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION comparison you have seriously consoled me. You have given me the happy ending I needed!

Shawshank, huh? Except let's hope Jimmy never meets "the sisters" like Andy did. 😬

Nice connection !

As long as they don't end up in Belize ;)

Maybe Jimmy can get conjugal visits from Kim with model behavior. Kim didn't look like she was having fun in the bedroom with Glenn aka Mr. Yup. Well nevermind. The United States Federal Bureau of Prisons does not allow conjugal visits for prisoners in federal custody. State prisons For prisoners in state custody, the availability of conjugal visits is governed by the law of the particular state. The four states that currently allow conjugal visits are California, Connecticut, New York, and Washington. So only hope Jimmy has a prosecutorial misconduct ruling or a pardon from the President of the United States.

“THANK YOU!” - The office Michael Thank you Gif*

That's how I read it too. Kinda like Mike saying he'd go back and not take his first bribe, changing his course away from criminality too.

No, Saul wasn't looking for redemption at that point. That was to show how he buried his traumas and regrets so deeply, the worst regret he could allow himself to come up with was accidentally hurting himself on a slip-and-fall

@@mgoblue9389 both can be true. Like you said he's constantly burying his traumas and regrets, so because of this even when he's actually trying to talk about an deep regret of his, he stills buries it beneath the slip story.

I think you got that one a little wrong. First of all, he asked Walt and Mike the thought-provoking question because he was projecting. As soon as he got an answer, and they expected one of him, he buried his head under the sand, leaving the Saul persona/mask on, as he usually did. It shows that he wasn't ready to face his regrets/mistakes. He was still Saul, on the run. Secondly, I don't think his "time machine" moment was when Slippin' Jimmy was created. Otherwise he'd have to go back to when he was a child. He was always Slippin' Jimmy. It's more likely that his "time machine" moment would be to change the course of that night with Chuck, hence the flashback. It was an important scene, yet it seemed so trivial. If only he had this heart-to-heart with Chuck, maybe Chuck would manage to persuade him to not pursue the lawpractice career. I think Jimmy, at the end, in that courthouse, regrets becoming a lawyer the most. Not only it lead to all these horrible events, up to meeting Walter White, but it also brought shame to Chuck, his passion and HHM. It's pretty clear that if Jimmy was to change any moment in his life, it would be to listen to Chuck on that fateful night and follow a different career path, where money could be earned through legit ways. A career which wouldn't expose him to criminals like Lalo or Walter. A career that wouldn't tempt him at every corner or reveal more and more of the Slippin' Jimmy.

Getting 86 years of prison time in a maximum security prison wasnt the right thing

@@caralho5237 confronting your crimes and facing the consequences was the right thing to do

@@niggadoggo1574 Your crimes have specific consequences. You dont just spin a roulette and take whatever comes your way, even if it dooms you to a life in prison. Jimmy got a mass murderer sentence, even though he was a corrupt lawyer who couldnt hurt an old lady

@@caralho5237 lol he did drove his brother to kill himself and had a major role in getting howard killed

@@niggadoggo1574 does not mean he was responsible for all those like howard goes into their home and then lalo shows up and kills him saul didnt know that chuck however he was kinda responsible but also not responsible its mostly kinda chucks fault

He also says he has bad knees in that scene as well

yah that's the point - the first bad décision that leads you down the wrong path.

He doesn't give a shit because of his massive ego at that point

​@@indiatasticyou mean Bad Choice Road

@@rolandverde8771 yes, exactly. i lot of people find his choice callous, but your biggest regret is not always the worst thing you did, it's where the path veered off the most

That's because you're still hoping for him to be a good person with simpathetic feelings... At that point (before Alaska) he still had no remorse at all and was still defending his "I needed the money" motivation when it was all about the power he felt

It's Saul Over.

They stuck the landing. There are some fans that hated the finale. But you can’t always have a machine gun revenge finale for every show. It’s so hard to wrap up a series and do it right. And these guys did it right.

That’s also the reason Breaking Bad ended (instead of going on for too long).

@@jpmnky not all of us wanted a machine gun ending!! Yo man, Saul didn’t even know who Gus was… admitting to crimes that he wasn’t at fault? Sure, Saul introduced Walt and the gang to Vamonos pest control, but Todd brought up his uncle Jack- the hitman who took out Hank and helped coordinate the prison murders. WHEN DID Saul meet with Jack to talk about prison murders?? BN only showed Walt speaking to Jack.. Saul wouldn’t have known how to coordinate that hit considering he never served time those prisons. Could’ve also made the case that Saul ONLY helped Walt launder his money- not once did he cook or distribute… Biggest thing he did for Walt was get Badger out so Badger wouldn’t roll, AND he told Walt where to go to meet Gus-.

Well said.

So, anyone gonna discuss when The Walking Dead is gonna end?

i caught that too. i feel like it means one of his greatest regrets was going to jesse's house after that ridealong. he may not regret his drug empire, but i think he regrets dragging jesse along for it.

Of course he cared, he saved him

I've always had a hard time understanding Walt and Jessie's relationship. He cares about him but in a psychotic twisted way for his own benefit. During that scene I think he wished he treated him better.

Or he regrets letting jack tortute him for information before he’s meant to kill him lol

wait what? what about el Camino. how does jessie have 2 different outs?

real asf

Don't worry, It's all good, man.

Time travel is both a real and theoretically impossibility.

as soon as they hear he turned down the 7 years sentence he'll be Jimmy real fast.

@@jeffb1430 bull, we all travel through time in that one direction... But still, it can be done, but not in the way it is often depicted. You can make time move faster/slower, it is just very relative and it will still cost the one 'travelling' through time years to make a big difference. But relative to all other life, you will age at a different pace. Einstein proved this - I'm pretty sure it is theoretical for now... Try proving him wrong... I guess the whole theory of relativity went straight over your head... I won't write it all down, it's boring and you have google, but NASA also agrees: More than 100 years ago, a famous scientist named Albert Einstein came up with an idea about how time works. He called it relativity. This theory says that time and space are linked together. Einstein also said our universe has a speed limit: nothing can travel faster than the speed of light (186,000 miles per second). What does this mean for time travel? Well, according to this theory, the faster you travel, the slower you experience time. Scientists have done some experiments to show that this is true. For example, there was an experiment that used two clocks set to the exact same time. One clock stayed on Earth, while the other flew in an airplane (going in the same direction Earth rotates). After the airplane flew around the world, scientists compared the two clocks. The clock on the fast-moving airplane was slightly behind the clock on the ground. So, the clock on the airplane was traveling slightly slower in time than 1 second per second. Here's how: Einstein's theory also says that gravity curves space and time, causing the passage of time to slow down. High up where the satellites orbit, Earth's gravity is much weaker. This causes the clocks on GPS satellites to run faster than clocks on the ground. The combined result is that the clocks on GPS satellites experience time at a rate slightly faster than 1 second per second. Luckily, scientists can use math to correct these differences in time. If scientists didn't correct the GPS clocks, there would be big problems. GPS satellites wouldn't be able to correctly calculate their position or yours. The errors would add up to a few miles each day, which is a big deal. GPS maps might think your home is nowhere near where it actually is! In Summary: Yes, time travel is indeed a real thing. But it's not quite what you've probably seen in the movies. Under certain conditions, it is possible to experience time passing at a different rate than 1 second per second. And there are important reasons why we need to understand this real-world form of time travel. And no one was even talking about time machines and time travel in this particular comment section. Also, looking at the stars is like looking into the past. A lot of them are long gone.

We got closure on Huell but now we don’t have closure on Jeff!

Frankly, most of the theories were utter crap and barely any of them got close. That's how good the writing was and how the teasers misled us.

@@halfbakedproductions7887 I mean of course there will be a bunch of ridiculous theories but there were quite a few that were correct. Gene going to prison, Howard's PI being part of the con, Kim moving away to start a new life etc.

@@skakirask yeah that was a little weird it felt like they were going to continue with Jeff in some way but we don't see him again since that phone call from the jail

@@Inebriated_Goat yeah. And he actor change really hurt the character

I wondered what that was. Thanks 👍

Very brave of the writers to call back to the worst plot line they've ever done.

@@jeffb1430 The two planes crashing was a bad plot line? 🤔

@@RenaldyCalixte It's so pointless. It's this weird attempt to add additional tragedy and consequence to Jane's death when the audience is obviously going to care more about a character they know than 200 randos who don't exist. When Walt tells Jessie later on that he allowed Jane to die, there's a reason he doesn't tack on a "oh yeah, and that big plane crash was because Jane's dad was so sad after she died", because no one cares about that shit and it's not really something you can blame on Walter anyway.

lol

We bcs fans have wild imaginations😅😅😅

Saul was loud and bombastic. Jimmy McGill wasn't. He was a flawed man who was funny and genuinely cared about people. So he admitted he forgot who he used to be to the only person who cared...Kim Wexler, that's how he wanted to end his story. Walter was a unsatisfied and bored but he was a quiet and polite man. Heisenberg was ambitious, ego driven, and a narcissist. Heisenberg wanted a big dramatic ending to his story so he built a robotic machine gun to kill Neo Nazi's.

But Kim could still get sued in the civil case from Howards wife. It changed nothing, the DA wasn't pressing charges on Kim, Oakley said they were just going to sit on it.

Kim had nothing to do with the Rico case and Walter white. Just the Howard killing and framing him as an addict. She’s still getting sued. He just wanted her to see him take responsibility

When Jimmy is on the airplane, bound for a 7-year sentence, and Oakley tells him about Kim and the Cheryl civil suit, Jimmy changes course. A big part of his switcheroo in both what he likely told authorities off screen and what he says in the court room is to redirect blame to himself, in a highly calculated slippin Jimmy scheme to get Cheryl to not pursue a suit against Kim. Oakley telling Jimmy that information on the plane is what sets everything else in motion. Otherwise it's 7 years and he's stuck as Saul probably.

@@dulpurp Why would Cheryl not press charges? She's got the written testimony of Kim Wexler. She's suing regardless of Jimmy's speech.

@@Clang2023 Cheryl doesn't actually need Kim's money though, she wanted the truth to come out and for there to be accountability. There's kind of no point in that lawsuit anymore unless she specifically wants to destroy Kim.

I assume that 2001 was when Matty died. Other than that, your theory checks out.

@@jazzyhands3289 Yes that's what the wiki says

Fantastic comment

Yet he still chooses to be a criminal scumbag in the end...

Justice for stealing from his father if you think about it. Weird how Jimmy never regrets that and I wonder if Howard and Chuck are right about Jimmy not being able to help himself (but at least Howard believed Jimmy had a chance to improve and become a great lawyer after he stopped siding with Chuck).

@@RenaldyCalixte dude is a conman and suffers fron multiple personality disorder. So yeah.

Both Odenkirk and Seehorn confirmed the original ending had Kim shoot back her finger guns, but peeps were afraid viewers would interpret this as Kim reverting back to her old ways, so it was changed.

They couldn't have done it any other way imo. I agree, the best ending.

Yep, Vince said there was loads of easter eggs and foreshadowing during the house clearance that would make perfect sense once you'd seen everything else. Sure enough, it's all there.

@@halfbakedproductions7887 💯 I love going through that scene at 25 speed looking for new eggs. The dumpster is one that surprisingly few people seem to have caught.

Incorrect. Jimmy has retired the Saul persona. The prisoners don't know Jimmy only Saul by reputation so they will always call him Saul. He didn't do this act for Kim just like Walter he told the truth for himself. Jimmy wanted to copy Kim by giving his own confession. He wanted Kim to see it because Kim was the only person who knew him as Jimmy. If Jimmy was motivated only by love for Kim he would take the 7 year sentence and then find a way to convince Kim to take him back once released. Instead Jimmy realized he needed to become his true self by telling the truth. This is the almost the same as Gus defeating Lalo by copying Nacho's confession by giving his own confession. Once Gus did that he could move forward with his true plan which was to get revenge. Not necessarily expanding his drug operation.

🤣🤣

Can't agree with your negative aspects, but yeah....spot on, otw! 🙂

@@melissas7980 😀🥰

At least Jimmy understands and is able to be honest about why he is mixing dough/money for someone else.

I disagree, he's slippin Jimmy ever since he started stealing from the cash drawer of his dad's shop

I also disagree. Jimmy's regret is that he didn't allow his brother Chuck to reach out and try to understand him on a deeper level. Jimmy instead pushed Chuck away because he assumed Chuck was going to give another lecture. Jimmy didn't realize Chuck was lonely and struggling with his "electricity allergy". That's Jimmy biggest regret.

It's Saul over...get it...😂

Well BCS takes place in 2011 currently.

That's my problem too. He got caught extremely fast.

Reality isn’t always exciting

That's a common theme in better call saul, it implements some of the more boring aspects of real life that most other shows don't

I agree! Or after 15 years.

Facts! People are to loyal to Vince like He will punish them if they tell the truth how they really feel about the final episode.

i think his redemption was meant to be towards kim and him trying to kill the saul identity, taking the 7 years would completely wipe that away and also it is not guaranteed that the people he wanted to redeem himself too would still be alive

also he probably did not want to live as the saul persona anymore

If Walt married Gretchen and/or kept his stake in Grey Matter then BrBa wouldn't have happened. He'd be living his best life and even if he did get the lung cancer, money for treatment wouldn't have been a problem. In fact, it wouldn't have happened if he'd just used his teachers' medical insurance instead of the fancy doctor Skyler wanted and they couldn't afford.

His regret should be that he was a big stupid crybaby over his girlfriend leaving him. It's never really made clear why Walt ended up teaching HS when he clearly could have done much better even after losing his stake in Grey Matter, but given what we know about his abilities as a chemist, one has to assume it was more of a personality issue. As much as Walt complains about having to teach the basics to kids, I think it says something that he eventually settled into a job where he only ever talks down to people. No one around to prove him wrong, challenge his ego, etc.
