The Official "Better Call Saul" Season 6 Thread (Final Season)

[Professor Emeritus]

I love the finale. Perfect twists and turns and entirely satisfying. Kim is going to put her life back together a little bit and find something to believe in. Jimmy is going to do good time behind bars just like I said he would, he's gonna be more in his element there than any other character would have been. Howard gets a bit of redemption from the grave.


Brehs are right saying that Jimmy didn't do that for Kim, he did it for himself. But it was Kim's confession that inspired him to do it for himself. When he realized that Kim had done the right thing, that was when he finally admitted to himself that he had some internal need to do the right thing too, something he had been refusing to admit to himself his entire life. He didn't ask Kim to come to the hearing in order to absolve her of Hamlin's death, he asked her to come to the hearing so she could witness him doing the right thing too and finally going straight.

So you were always like this?



my favorite line from this show

That and, "You are the last lawyer I would hire" were money. Imagine Saul trying to handle a complex patent law case with his courtroom demeanor.



Did anyone already bring up the contrast between Saul's finale and Walt's finale? Walt's final moments were him admiring the lab and everything he had built and accomplished, zero thought for the lives he had ruined. Saul's finale was admitted that it was all a collossal fukk-up and he had destroyed lives. They were both at peace but in the most explicitly contradictory ways possible.

Just finished watching the finale. Man, what a special show this was .

How the fukk you make it through 11 seasons of BB/BCS hoping for believability?


A high school teacher with lung cancer ran the nation's biggest meth empire and was responsible for hundreds of murders with the help of one of his worst students, a gay chicken man, an elderly ex-cop, and a slip-and-fall guy. Like you got through 122 episodes suspending disbelief but didn't want to do it on episode 123?

At least by the plane crash in the BrBa season 2 finale people shoulda known what time Vince and Friends was on as far as reality.

Well said. McGill was accepting he’s Jimmy that fukked up and had remorse, hence throwing Saul away to reveal the humanity he was running from.

Walt was accepting he’s Heisenberg and a douchebag instead of the family man he tried to justify himself as. He always cared about being “the man”.

Both ended up doing what nobody else could, which is take them down(Jimmy talking himself into a life sentence and Walt dying from his own machine gun)

i know its a complete fiction based show. While preposterous at times...Jimmy trickin a 7 year deal to end up at 86 years...dont make sense. And the campy ass shyt with all the inmates chanting his name
I'm not saying it was Dexter bad...its still one of the best series ever, but thats not exactly sticking the landing IMO

 

[Professor Emeritus]

yes

the time machine question was about regret and guilt

he ducked the question with Mike and Walt, but answered it in the courtroom

also Chuck and Jimmy always loved each other but let their differences get in the way

shame, they could've been a kickass team

in fact had Jimmy straightened out we could've possibly had Jimmy, Kim, and Howard as the main partners of HHM after Chuck retires

I was with you up until the last line. There is no reality where an institution like HHM actually lets any version of Jimmy we saw become partner.

He had a degree from an online law school and made absolutely ridiculous argments every time he tried a case. The best version of Jimmy might be a lifer there but he ain't never making partner unless Kim somehow gets full control of everything.

Where did Saul stash his millions in dirty money? I'd hook Kim up since I'm doing life

In a ton of offshore accounts and shell companies and the feds found all of them. All he had left was what he lost in the dumpster.

the fed is absolutely disgusted by saul

Surprised no Skylar appearance

She might be in prison still. We know she took a deal but that doesn't mean she stayed out of jail. And why would she want to be anywhere near Saul?

I mean…shi everyone but kim and jimmy ended up dead lol

And Francesca

And Huell.

Ride or die. License never expired, so she’s seemingly his new lawyer.

Nah, her license is gone, she gave it up. But she still had the card and the card had no date. So she's using her card to card in to the prison even though technically it's invalid, but they ain't gonna be running that shyt though any interstate online checks in 2011.

I’d told her to hire a lawyer and take that 7. fukk I look like spending the rest of my life in prison over someone that got remarried

She didn't remarry, they didn't even live together. Remember when he drove away at the end of the night? She couldn't commit to anything enough to remarry.


But I disagree that he did it for Kim. He didn't do it for him, he did it for himself. His final act was to admit his regrets, disgard the Saul persona, and finally make things right.

"Walter White might be dead, but Jesse Pinkman and the other are still out there"

like Jesse would kill Saul. such a liar

I forgot to mention that shyt, that line was incredible.

Saul might pull off the greatest con ever to get back his freedom but the cartel is still out there right. I’d be more scared of them tbh

Who in the cartel? Between Gus, Walt, and Jesse, they killed EVERYONE from every rival criminal gang out there. Like literally everyone is dead lol.

They stuck the hell out of the landing breh. Show has never been realistic, it's Lord of the Rings-level fantasy just with gangland characters.


* Walt blew up a guy's car in the middle of the gas station with no one seeing and then walked away.

* Jesse's dead girl's dad made a plane explode in midair and the bear just happened to land in their pool.

* Gus took out the whole cartell with a bottle of liquor, flanked by an elderly cop and a teenage addict

* The twins wiped out an entire operation by themselves, then Hank took them out on his own, while ambushed, with a bullet he found on the ground.

* White supremacists caught like 50 bodies without even getting a scratch, until Walt singlehandedly took out all 10 at once.

* None of Mike's commando scenes and intricate schemes would work in real life

* None of Walt's science plots would work in real life

* Most of Jimmy's cons would not have worked in real life




It was a suspend disbelief show breh. It didn't operate in our rules, it operated in its own rules. That ending was fukking fire.

He had money to pay for the disappearerer when the cab driver spotted him so clearly he still had a stash somewhere

Thats what the diamonds were for. He was traveling light.


Remember in the desert when he was complaining about 1000 dollar bills not existing anymore and how they would have made the bags lighter to carry?

 

[Ari Gold Bawse]

Marie all up in the episode like Saul is the reason Hank got killed

she got nothing better to do

if you say so. Your entitled to your own opinion. I could have done without the "Saul is a prison boss" part. I feel like thats a fair criticism. You aint gotta post an essay about a small critique.

[Avisible Man]

The name’s McGill. James McGill.

kim will get him out

BetterCallKIM

There's no law, legal loophole or alternate avenue that she won't exhaust to get the job done.

Saul.. I mean Jimmy is like a GOD at the prison!

Like Jay-Z on "Trouble:" They viewing they version of the Lord.

great ending and the only way to absolve Saul the character and make Jimmy pay for all what he has done

not gonna rank but I'm definitely gonna rewatch this and relive these 6 great seasons of TV

to Vince for another classic

Gotta thank Peter Gould too. Vince, himself, has said that "Better Call Saul" is Peter's baby.

not that smart though, the feds took his money twice, he didnt learn the first time

Mike,

Just a small thing but I wish they would have ended on the scene of Jimmy & Kim smoking instead of the postscript across the yard, but otherwise fantastic finale.

I wanted it to end on that shyt too. Woulda been a perfect silhouette. When I saw it playing out, I was like "oh shyt, they gon do it." Still not mad tho but it really woulda been perfect ending on that shot.

Shades of Walt on the phone with Skyler and the Feds. Both were tap dancing for the women they love to get away free, while also really doing it for themselves too.

 

[iseetrolledpeople]

This solidified BCS as not only better than BB but actually shytting on it. Because at the end of the day...he really made that p.o.s. square W.W.

I would have never went that far for a woman. Never. Guilt? None. Fcuk em. Everybody shytted on him, since day 1. Nobody believed in him. Getting 8 years after all that? That's a testament to his skills and movie/book deals and interviews for 8 mote years.

Really glad they didn't fcuked up the finale man. Adios Jimmy.

Also do life in prison for a broad that gets sweet YEPed every night by another man brehs.
