Odd choice to have Jesse's voice way deeper. Really didn't work with how it used to be in BB Idk what they were thinking

I just thoguut that’s how his voice is now? Is it not

Not sure how this is going to end. I feel I’m rooting for Saul to have a happy ending but feel it’s not going to be the case

"Gene" is robbing a bloke who has terminal cancer.

It's going to end EXTREMELY badly for him.

He's going to end up in jail as a jailhouse lawyer.

Request for thread title to be changed to "Better Call Sole"....

Fantastic episode. I should have had more faith after the questionable build-up. No other show picks their song lyrics quite so impeccably.

Brilliant episode.

Now I want to time travel to next week.

I don't. I really don't know what I'm going to do when this has finished. Next week's episode is going to be breath taking.

What an incredible accomplishment BCS and BB are. Genuinely the best TV ever made.

I just want Saul to have a "happy" ending living in some middle of nowhere town living out his final decades but it seems to be building towards his comeuppance with that ending. Will have to be on the run but without vacuum cleaner man's assistance in starting a new life.

Feel the same. I want ahappy ending

He doesn't deserve one.

This.

He was about to murder somebody with dog ashes, he isn't going to get redemption.

David says, "I just want Saul to have a "happy" ending living in some middle of nowhere town living out his final decades" - the thing is this is exactly how the series started out and the life he could have had (with a bit of looking over his shoulder) but he's to self sabotaging to live or even want to live this life. Jimmy is a complex character, he does [or did] have a heart and you could muse on for ages whether he is good or bad, whether some of his actions came from a place of misguided ethics or if it was all self serving but he seems his most volatile when his peers want to do the right thing or take accountability for their actions - Jimmy deflects and goes into destruction mode, Kim suggesting he should hand himself in is what started this crime spree arc. He doesn't learn, last week it was shown he was given red flag after red flag about dealing with Walt and there were obvious parallels with the current cancer person and he had multiple chances to back out of that situation.

Breaking Bad two main characters arguably got the ending they deserved and arguably got happy endings, but the show Reeee-ally played with the idea of what a happy is for these characters;

The question with Jimmy is what kind of ending does he deserve? Does he deserve a happy ending, what does a happy ending look like for this character? First of all before you even get into him contemplating killing a cancer patient and a nice old lady strawberry float Identity thieves! Whereas for Kim who has a conscience its a sadder ending for her if she does get away with everything.

I'm not well versed in American laws to have any idea what kind of prison term J/Kimmy would serve, but maybe the happiest ending at this point (and I don't think they will do this - too obvious) would be Kim getting a light sentence so she feels she can atone and move on and Jimmy having some kind of redemption arc and handing himself in on his own terms, I think he would get on ok in prison. Jimmy grows and faces up to the things he's done. It's 2010 in the show at this point, maybe they could take it right up to the present day Jimmy released and he and Kim make a go of it

The Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul universe is coming to end, according to co-showrunners Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould.

Gilligan and Gould, speaking on the show’s final virtual TCA panel, said that they have no plans to add another show to the AMC shared universe, although cautioned “never say never”.

“You can’t keep putting all your money on red 21. I feel like we probably pushed it doing a spinoff to Breaking Bad [but] I could not be more happy with the results. Then I did El Camino and I’m very proud of that too. But I think I’m starting to sense you’ve got to know when to leave the party, you don’t want to be the guy with a lampshade on your head,” Gilligan said.

“I don’t have any plans right now to do anything more in this universe. I know I probably gave the same answer at the end of Breaking Bad. I gotta prove to myself that I got something else in me. I’m not a one trick pony, that’s what I’m hoping.

As Better Call Saul is coming to an end, series co-creator — and Breaking Bad creator — Vince Gilligan is ready for what comes next. And once again, for his next drama project he is going with a wholly original idea. No one would comment, but there is a lot of anticipation in the marketplace for the pitch, which is expected to come out in the next couple of weeks, with at least 8-9 networks and platforms lined up to hear it.

I hear the new project, which comes from Sony Pictures TV where Gilligan has been under an overall deal for a long time, is a departure from the world of drugs and crime he explored in Breaking Bad and its prequel, Better Call Saul, whose series finale airs Aug 15. Word is that the new show harkens back to Gilligan’s tenure on The X-Files. But don’t expect a sci-fi drama — when he was a writer-producer on The X-Files, Gilligan was known for focusing more on the human condition in his episodes, which is something he is said to also be doing in his new series, exploring similar themes of bending reality while holding a mirror to humanity.

Described as a blended, grounded genre drama, the new series also is being compared to The Twilight Zone. It is said to be set in our world while putting a tweak on it, focusing on people and exploring the human condition in an unexpected, surprising way.

Thought-provoking but not a morality tale, the new show is expected to carry the signature Gilligan tone that infuses drama with humor.

Like he often does with his original creations, Gilligan has written material that is accompanying the pitch, giving buyers a sense of what the new project would look like. I hear it is envisioned to play over a couple of seasons with an overreaching story arc.

Three fans, led by Lumpy Touch, have taken Better Call Saul and Gameboy'd it.

A three-minute teaser - which includes light spoilers for S1E9, S5E8, and S6E5, so be warned - lovingly recreates Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould's Breaking Bad spin-off as a monochrome Gameboy game, complete with plenty of fan service touches, including one of the scariest things I've ever seen: a happy Mike.

Watched the final ever episode.

End of an era.

Two of the greatest TV shows of all time.

A very satisfying final episode.

Oof what a satisfying end to such a crazy series

Loved the finale. Pitch perfect. Cameos didn't add much, but the time machine theme was a really finely poised choice.
