Personally, I don't think there is any way in hell Kim goes anywhere with Jimmy/Saul/Gene. As I said before, I feel the crying part was a way of just showing relief that that point of her life is now over, and MAYBE she can go back to being Kim Wexler, attorney at law. Jimmy/Saul/Gene will always be a part of her life that she would not want to get back to.

So let's take this one step further. I think we would all like Jimmy to escape somewhere. But to what? Say he fakes his death and does go somewhere else, say Alaska, is that the life he will lead, getting another no future job while hiding out alone? Wherever he goes, if he goes, and whatever he will do there, he can ever again be Saul Goodman.

How about this, he gets arrested, sent to jail, and becomes the Andy Dufresne (Shawshank Redemption) of where ever they send him.   :ok:  :ok:  :ok:  :ok:  :ok:

Well, folks, it all ends tonite. Looking at the show it is something like 95 minutes long and let's hope we all enjoy the ending. Too many series go out with a whimper and not a bang and leave many disappointed. I'm sure there will be a lot to talk about tomorrow.

I just had Linda watch the Breaking Bad series after much resistance and now we are renting the BCS series which I missed a few episodes and saw most of it before watching BB.

Kind of sad to see the show ending but watching it from a different perspective will be interesting.

I have a personal theory that most shows have a life of 7 seasons.   After 7 seasons, shows tend to diminish as they usually have explored all the characters and played out most of their good stories.   BSC is on season 6.  I don't have a problem with shows going out on top rather than running too many seasons and diminishing what they were about and what they accomplished.

That is true. We all know what happened to TWD as it tried to stay relevant. any great series hung on just a bit too long and their fans, even though they enjoyed them, were aggravated with the last couple of years.

What a crappy ending. It was anticlimactic almost from the start although the flashbacks and regrets showing his true character, were transcended by his repentance and his  love for Kim.

He had them down to seven and that win on paper was enough to satisfy his grifter instincts.

 I agree Ed. Did he FINALLY see the light and regret his entire life?

We watched Jimmy.Saul/Gene for 6 years and knew him as well as we know anyone, yet now that he has basically won, he turns to Mr. Nice Guy.  BOOOOOO..

One thing, for sure, we all had it wrong, and maybe they should have listened to us.

Everyone see the quick promo for a couple of new series?

Gene turned out to be a real scumbag so that's quite a leap to redemption. Did his love for Kim turn him around?

Sure seems as if we are alone in our opinions of the finale. I did a look-see at how many others viewed it and almost to a man (or women) everyone thought it one of the best episodes of the entire series.

What the hell do we know?

I was okay with the ending.   If you think about it, one prison was the same as another.   In fact, I suspect Jimmy will actually be happier in jail than in the jail of his on the run and running a Cinnabon.  I always thought Jimmy had a good heart if you looked past his drifter instinct.   I think his love for Kim pushed him to finally do what he did.  He was really doomed one way or the other (like he would have a life after jail), so he was able to at least make a sacrifice to save Kim.

I am curious, now that both series have ended, which one was better?

Better Call Saul or Breaking Bad?
