re: tOfficial Better Call Saul S06E13 “Saul Gone” SERIES FINALE Thread

This may sound weird, but this was a disappointing second half of the season yet weirdly a satisfying finale for me. It was a little overly “fan service” for my liking…it all just felt so forced and crammed into one episode.

I almost feel like this episode is how the last few should have been. It would’ve made the closure so much better IMO. But outside of Saul throwing his seven year deal into the trash, I really enjoyed most of if. It’s almost unforgivable for him to do that though. I get that it was maybe Saul punishing himself similar to how Kim did to herself. But still.

Everybody saying “I guess people who didn’t like it only wanted shootouts” need to shut the frick up, y’all sound stupid. It’s perfectly okay to be critical of the last few episodes of this series. It’s deserved. And it doesn’t mean that people want mindless violence or nonstop action.

Kim showing up in prison as Jimmy’s lawyer felt a little weird to me. He’s in jail and doesn’t really need one anymore. I guess that’s just her way of being able to visit him..??

All in all, if we had more stuff like this episode in the last few, the quality would’ve been much better for me. But that being said, I think the more I think about this season, the more I’ll like it. This show is easily better than Breaking Bad. And like I’ve said before, that’s not a knock on BB at all. It’s simply a testament to how fricking good this show is. It’s fantastic television. And even the last few “epilogue” episodes (episogues?? ) have been good television. I just wish they didn’t feel so much like wasted time. But based on those episodes, they ended the series about as best as they could have. I had faith in VG and PG, and the the most part they delivered for me.

Can’t wait to rewatch this series in five or six years. I have a feeling I’ll remember it very fondly and will enjoy it just as much, if not more being able to binge the second half of this last season.
