Better Call Saul

I'm not saying it's bad, but it's not nearly as good as everyone is praising it to be. Yes character development is amazing but when you have entire seasons full of just that and nothing else it feels like a waste of time, like you're developing with a character that doesn't do anything significant enough to make you care. Yes, it definitely has it's moments, anything with Lalo and holy shit that Nacho ending was amazing, but other than that the show feels like abunch of mediocre camera panning at sticky-notes and cars to fill up time. There needs to be a balance of character development and action and unfortunately this show -while still a good show- is way too much to one side. The show doesn't even compare to it's precursor Breaking Bad, I think people just say it's close because the trend is to say the show was perfect but it wasn't. Maybe I'm wrong though, just a thought.

THIS REVIEW IS ON IMDB FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO READ IT THERE.

Brilliant. My god...

Where do I start? "Saul Gone" was one of the most beautifully written, shot, and overall crafted pieces of media I've seen in quite a while (that's saying a lot by the way due to the brilliance of this universe)

Saul Goodman dies in this episode. No, not literally, don't worry I'm not an IMDB troll, but metaphorically, Saul Goodman is no long by the end of this episode.

It was the most logical conclusion for JIMMY possible… He literally gave his life for Kim. Also, we finally see his biggest regret is to get Kim involved, be responsible for Chuck’s and Howard’s death and had his own “time machine” to try to correct it. I’m totally fine with that.

The cigarette light being the only thing in colour absolutely destroyed me. It was so inconspicuous that I almost missed it on first viewing, I only saw it subconsciously. It's been theorised or implied for years that what Jimmy and Kim lacked in terms of physical intimacy, rarely kissing or hugging, was made up for in their moments of silence, their 'routine' as they share a cigarette. Even when the world looks bleak, that light acts as a reminder that Jimmy's love for Kim, and vice versa, is enough for the two to continue living. It's a reminder that their flame is still alive, it always will be. I'm unsure what the final shot means. It could be a final goodbye from Kim, as Jimmy disappears behind the corner. But that light tells me that someday, somehow, they will end up together again.

It's heartbreaking that Jimmy had to choose between his freedom, taking the seven year deal, or sacrificing it all to redeem himself with Kim. His love for her was so strong that he was willing to spend his life in prison to gain her forgiveness and reignite that flame. It's beautiful that he truly believes it was all worth it. The greatest onscreen romance ever written.

The look she gives him after scanning the door to see if anybody was watching them. She wants to kiss him so badly, you can see it in her hesitation and the eyes she gives him, but remembers that isn't how they do things. So she opts for the cigarette instead, which lights up the whole room. Beautiful!

Not to mention the cameos, Walter White, Marie Schrader and Chuck McGill. My goodness are these people good. All scenes tied perfectly into the story.

The idea of “Going back in time” or as Walter elucidated, “Regrets” was done and said perfectly here.

All and all, to Bob, Bryan, Vince, Peter, AMC (most definitely NOT AMC+) , Netflix, Rhea, Tom, Banks, EVERYONE!!! THANK YOU FOR THE BEST TELEVISION UNIVERSE OF ALL TIME!!!

I would like to have a toast for today Saul is taking his final call. Thank you Vince and the crew for making the act of breaking bad so good.

I was refreshing this page and saw that BCS last episodes are called “Waterworks” and “Saul Gone”. Just out of curiosity, what’s the source of where you guys found this information this early? Not to question this amazing page, but both titles seem odd and random

SPOILERS FOR BCS AND BB

A lot of people are complaining as to how Lalo Salamanca died in 6x8 in Better Call Saul. One reason as to why people are saying this is because Gus had “plot armor”. I for one find this to be idiotic with all due respect because complaining about plot armor 6 seasons into a prequel makes 0 sense when you think about it. Another reason is because people think Lalo died to easily and it was predictable. While i understand that part of it a little more, after reading many comments and thoughts about this scene, I believe i have a clear explanation as to why they wrote this scene the way they did.

Both Lalo and Gus are clam, calculated, and powerful. That much has been established from the beginning. But both of their deaths to me are a parallel to one and other because they for just a brief moment, forget about who they really are and let the idea of REVENGE take over. Lalo could have killed Gus right then and there, But he didn’t. He let revenge get in the way of his primary goal and got to caught up in the moment. This is a parallel to Gus in 4x13 of BB. He could have killed Hector right then and there, But he didn’t. He had been waiting for that moment for several decades but he got caught up in the moment a little too much before it was too late.

To me, it was a perfect send off to Lalo, while maybe a little predictable, it didn’t matter. Watching it live was spine-chilling and intense to say the least.

Bravo Peter, Vince, and the crew.

*Spoiler Alert*

I find it hilarious that everyone in this fanbase including myself thought that Lalo would kill Nacho and Howard would kill himself. It literally happened the opposite way, the writers straight up reversed it lmao.

Mine is Saul Goodman
