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

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Giancarlo should have one in 2012 after Season 4 over Paul. Gus' character in that season was just as gravitating as Walt's

He was definitely robbed.

I’ve been on a rewatch of both series. I had to look him up. Then I saw this:

He won 3 Emmys and a Golden Globe for BB

Hasn't really done anything noteworthy before or after Breaking Bad. Just a good fit for him. Still stand by my original statement

Jesus Christ. He did not confess to save Kim, she is potentially cooked regardless of what he said. Nothing he could say would prevent Howard's widow from not filing a civil suit. Him confessing does NOTHING for her.

He told because Kim owned up to what she did. They both caused massive damage to others and her telling them about Howard was her way to take responsibility and get relief. Both of them were dealing with trauma and guilt, even more so Jimmy, so him confessing was not only doing the right and honest thing but also his way to atone.

Jimmy only truly became Saul once Kim left and even then that was only a mask to protect who he really was. When he hears she confesses he has a "come to Jesus" moment and drops the act.

Exactly.

Breaking Bad revolved around a guy who had been in the "right" part of society his whole life (scientist/teacher), but who deep down was a conceited a$$hole who was capable of real evil under the right circumstances.

Better Call Saul revolved around a guy who had been in the "wrong" part of society his whole life (conman/criminal lawyer), but who deep down was a compassionate person constantly struggling to push back his demons.


The ending of Better Call Saul was exactly what needed to happen - we saw Jimmy finally repent in full and pay for all the harm he had done. He wasn't trying to get away with it anymore, he accepted what he had done and pulled the lever that ended it all. But we also got to see wheeling/dealing Jimmy in all his glory one last time, just to prove that he still had the skills to pull it off, but was choosing not to.

Spoiler

For those who don't realize that we saw Jimmy's compassion throughout the series:

* He takes care of his brother and tolerates his mental health issues even though his brother is a total a$$hole to him
* He rushes to care for his brother when his brother has an episode, even though it kills his cover
* He genuinely cares about those old folk and does the will for the old lady even when she doesn't have money to pay him
* He uncovers the Sandpiper case only because he was compassionate enough to listen to the old people's stories and find out they were getting screwed
* He breaks character with the Sandpiper ladies so they'll be friends with Irene again
* He pays his film crew even when he's dead broke and refuses to take back the money from them cause he made a deal
* Goes across the country to save Huell from prison
* Risked his life to save the scammer boys from the cartel
* Rather than keep over a million dollars in cash from the Kettlemens, he forces them to cut a deal with Kim to save her career
* Becomes a caretaker for Kim after she crashes her car
* Was willing to give up his life to save Kim from Lalo

Jimmy showed a level of concern for other people over and over that Walt never had.

I told cats similar things, to go rewatch "Breaking Bad". Because there's a few scenes (him giving Jesse relationship advice, him trying to end his partnership with Walt after the Brock situation, him telling Walt to turn himself in and help his family, etc.) where Jimmy briefly resurfaces.
