Better Call Saul

It's a shame Walter "won" Breaking Bad, if anything that's the one flaw with the show.
Walt getting his family the millions is still one of the most hilarious aspects of the show. Everyone Walt hated even the slightest, from Hank and Gretchen to Gus and Mike, basically felt his wrath. Walt gets to be known as the greatest drug chemist of all time. And his family are filthy rich and will always know where the money really came from but will ignore it because of how significant the money is. Walt getting a happy ending compared to shows like Sopranos or Shield is such a mistake.
 
Which Badfinger song will they use for the final shot?

He got everything he wanted, secured his legacy with his family, with Jesse, and with the entire world. I still think Saul has hope too.
Walt's family hates his guts at the end, everyone thinks he killed Hank, and Skyler gets a plea deal for her trouble.

Thoughts on this episode:

1) Holy shit the first 12 or so minutes before the Saul phone call were a fucking bore. We didn't need that long to figure out that Kim is living a boring fucking life away from Saul, especially 2 episodes left in the series.

2) How fucking pathetic is Jimmy to go 'Hey what's up Kim I know we haven't talked in six years and I'm on the run from the Feds, so uh, yeah, what's going on?'

3) Kim wears the same outfit two days in a row?

4) We are 26 minutes in, she's breaking down on a shuttle to the airport and, like the people sitting around her, I just don't care. Yeah yeah Howard was killed, Lalo did that they didn't have anything to do with it.

5) MEMBA EMILIO?!

6) That scene with Pinkman was gay as fuck, basically now all of Breaking Bad's relationship between Saul and Walt/Pinkman is because of what Kim said?

7) Marion didn't shoot Saul with a .357, but she might as well have.
 
Mike’s last words on the show: SOLID.
Walter was not solid. Jeff was not solid. Now Saul will once again pay the price.

Skyler meets with Walt and accepts his money and clearly does not hate him. She has the information that the Nazis killed Hank and can give it to the DEA and exonerate Walt of that publicly. So the main reason Walt Jr. hated Walt is now gone because he will know that Hank did not die because Walt murdered him. And Walt Jr. gets to be a millionaire. So he will have millions of reasons to forget his father being a cartel head.
 
I liked it. Pretty tense

Lol Kim became a tradwife

Some people mentioned Escape (The Pina Colada Song) would fit this show

That sex scene with them just saying “Yep” was funny

He doesnt seem like a bad guy but this is clearly an existence either too mundane or too innocent for Kim to truly handle without feeling tremendous guilt or boredom

Imagine how funny this’d be if this is the whole episode. Just Kim doing her daily routine. Im calling it. This is the day when she gets the call from Saul and she contemplates it after rejecting him and goes to Omaha anyway right as Gene breaks into the house

Thought kim would umm actually about Meth. “Heralds an exciting new chapter” very on the nose

People called she suggested that she suggested turning himself in

That scene with the zoom ins on the confession letter’s sordid details is so great, such a brutal way of telling her that. Because Kim is so guilty she ends up doing worse because of the coldness of a letter rather than a verbal confession, where at least telling Cheryl would probably give her more warmth at least

Whoa Kim’s an asshole. But Cheryl kind of has the BITCH WIFE reputation it seems with some people, yea her marriage with Howard was on the rocks but we dont know the context. Just because she wants to divorce a good guy doesnt make her a bad person, and here she gives Kim - a bad person we think of as good - what for

Such a great bit of catharsis to have her break down in the worst, most humiliating possible place - public transportation. The guy staring over and the single hand is sort of the same treatment she gave Cheryl tho I could be looking too deep into my ass

Half expected Saul to go “Shows what you know” after dinging that key. That password on the lamp was a great punchline

That dude’s sleep acting is almost as good as Fabian’s corpse acting haha

Oh my god he couldve gotten away with it. Is he doing it deliberately? The cigars and alcohol say yes. I bet Kim’s in that car, idk how she found him before the feds but Gene *was* calling Francesca so she probably knew the general idea of where he was living or working. Or maybe Jeff’s mom skyped Kim lol

Hes gonna fall down the stairs isnt he?

Lol is he really gonna defile a dog corpse as a distraction? Actually no he’s gonna try to knock that guy out and probably kill him

That was so tense and then immediately theyre talking about fish tacos lol

JEFF YOU FUCKING IDIOT

Honestly that look up convinced me the episodes were written with the original actor because as amusing as it was already it wouldve been so funny as Don Harvey as the punchline to that character’s entire existence

Love Saul’s cartoon socks to really nail Kim’s disgust at it all

its da breaking bad guy

Lol its da breaking bad bitch man meeting kim. Thats funny. He looks like steve buschemi in that 30 rock meme with that 20 year old getup age 40

They really held the theme of water here

Lol “not a real baby”. Probably the worst person to praise Kim for freeing too, considering Combo’s fate. Also Kim unintentionally condemning Jesse

Thought Kim and Gene had arranged to meet on the buses for a sec

Lol she’s gonna find Saul Goodman on youtube. So did she phone Buddy? Or did Jeff fell her

Oh lol pretty funny how she uses AskJeeves and such a simple thing does it. Shes gonna give Carol a heart attack

People guessed it’d be Mario who causes Saul’s downfall

Wrote my thoughts as I watched
 
She is definitely afraid of Jimmy getting caught and cutting a deal and implicating her in some of his (and their) criminality. She has been around people who cut deals and rat people out all of her life basically. She has seen enough from the courthouse. Now she can tell her side of the 'story' and get in with the police and prosecutors to lock in a statement before Jimmy can scapegoat her. Her talking to Howard's widow makes no sense outside of her beating Jimmy to the punch. Like she just sits there while Howard's widow relives his death, and then basically says "yeah the DA won't touch me" right to her face. It was all for Kim.

It appears as though the FBI and DEA are not listening to her phones though. Because they would be onto Jimmy immediately. The DEA in this series is filled with retards top to bottom apparently.
TBH most glowies are fucking retarded
All this headcanon about Original Jeff having been some sort of stone cold criminal mastermind that could never have played the part Jeff does now is the gayest cope I've ever seen. We saw nothing about the character at all, and there's no reason they would have rewritten the part instead of just having the dude they've got now do whatever the first actor would have
Agreed lol. The only thing we knew about him is he was an autist who loved Saul's commercials
Skyler meets with Walt and accepts his money and clearly does not hate him. She has the information that the Nazis killed Hank and can give it to the DEA and exonerate Walt of that publicly.

Oh yea they'll be all roses about the guy who ruined their lives. Because as we all know, in the Breaking Bad universe money makes people happier and fulfilled

I mean Tony Soprano literally got away with it. You have to read autistically into David Chase's cut to black to know "oh he might've been killed"

On #6, I think the whole point is more about Kim giving that final summary of Saul's fall rather than just going "yo bitch Kim Wexler with the feet said Saul's a good lawyer"
Correct. But she cannot keep a clean conscience if a court of law sends her to prison and a judge says "guilty". In order for her to clear her conscience she needs to basically virtue signal her actions and perform mental gymnastic to see herself as a new person. And retroactively justify her scumbag behavior when she was a lawyer. She has to clear herself of being implicated in Jimmy's criminal life to validate her own estimation of herself. She cannot say to herself "I was innocent" if a judge says "guilty". So she is pinning it all on Jimmy here to make herself feel better.

But she will not feel better if she is in jail. Jesse, Walt, Jimmy, and now Kim all tried to avoid jail.

There is no chance that the original actor for Jeff was going to ram his taxi into a parked car like a goof. They had to have rewritten him. They likely took Jeff and watered him down to become this dimwit. Then wrote him turning Saul in with the Marion character and cast a famous actress to cover up the taxi guy recast and rewrite.

Yes this is sloppy how they are ending things so far. Especially when BB and El Camino were nothing like this at all. But there is one episode left so they could turn things around possibly. It will be hilarious If Jimmy goes down for Walt's empire while Jesse is on vacation in Alaska and Walt's family are all millionaires. And Kim gets to write a tell-all book about Jimmy the scumbag liar maniac con artist.
Lol this is such a weird conspiracy you believe in you autist. No, Jeff wasn't this big bad guy. He was a celebrity obsessive

It's so weird how you pinball from "Breaking Bad ended poorly because they killed the nazis I projected myself onto. This show will end the same reddit way because they cant write the protagonist as a bad guy" to "Breaking Bad ended perfectly, why wont they give me my epic happy ending where Saul defeats Jeffos with the Infinity Gauntlet. It's turning into a morality play"
I have mixed feelings about this episode and thus a big part of how Better Call Saul ends and how I will regard it as a whole.

1) I don't think Kim turned herself out of fear of being implicated. She had nothing to do with Walter White or any of that. She and Jimmy also did not kill Howard, Lalo did, and she could say she cooperated with Gus Fring and Mike out of coercion. What benefit would Saul even have of disclosing that?
Instead this was about moral-fagging. It was about her conscience, as we see when she talks with Howard's ex wife/widow, which is a total copout as I see it because the bitch was divorcing him, and now she cares once he is murdered in cold blood.
What good does confessing to what happened to Howard do? She thinks her lief sucks now, wait till she faces some sort of criminal liability for being an accessory after the fact.

2) I did not mind the second version of Jeff. The way he sped off away fromt the police getting in a car accident is buffoonish and out of character, and a desperate way to set up Gene interacting with Marion, which could have happened even without the Keystone Cop buffoonery.

3) It is important to remember that Jimmy was hesitant about going through with the scam on Howard. Kim pressed it.... Then when Lalo shows up and murders Howard (something neither could have foreseen), she stabs Jimmy in the heart and leaves him. People on reddit are denouncing Jimmy for being so insincere in the scene in the office when the divorce papers signed. She made him that way.

Really the show has regressed into a god damn morality play. Don't run scams kids and don't do things that get you in the game in the criminal underworld, because if Lalo Salamanca teleports into your apartment and kills the guy you were scamming, you're morally responsible for it, and from that moral bankruptcy things will cascade into you facilitating Walter White, and he is the worst of all. I never bought the moral fagging about Walter White, either, but that is a different post entirely..
Lol teleports into your apartment. Yeah because keeping friends with cartel murderers is completely fine while constantly being around your former boss. That never ends poorly. It's a complete coincidence the two people Lalo interacted with the most north of the border that are easily manipulated civilians would get manipulated by him
