You won't get any sympathy here by siding with Chuck in any way at all. I tried that once; it did not go down well.

Hank won't show up. Dean Norris thinks he's too good for that.

You try reading a book with your eyes closed. Can't be done. (This has been a paid advertisement for Audible.)

I read it as some form of post-traumatic stress. I mean, her husband did just get gunned down by his cop partner.

So…should we work out some sort of…financial—um—okay….

While that's true, seeing Walt as a decaying husk locked away in a New Hampshire cabin somewhere was a pretty good coda too. Of course, seeing him explode Nazis with a robot gun thing was even better.

I have a feeling that rather than be disappointed (or perhaps in addition to being disappointed), Chuck would view those commercials with a certain sense of vindication that he was right all along.

On Breaking Bad, Saul Goodman has a coffee cup that actually says "World's Greatest Lawyer" on it. So I guess the obvious conclusion is that Jimmy winds up killing Chuck and/or Kim and taking their place atop the pyramid of greatest lawyers.

Maybe they'd have to combine the two…

I rooted for Walt because I know I'm watching a TV show. I can't root for the villains in real life because the stakes are too high.

I think there's a very real chance Kim is still alive and doing the lawyer thing all through the events of BB and afterward. I think the final season of BCS will take place in present time, and will involve Kim pretty heavily.

This was a really well written article. The parallels, similes (and metaphors) were fantastically on-point. There are a few things I'd like to add:

BCS is set in 2002. BB is set in 2008.

It's kind of like how the phrase "breaking bad" no longer references general Southern US slang, but the actual show Breaking Bad.

Episode 4 actually.

Season 1.

This one has 13.

I suspect (and hope) that Better Call Saul's final season will take place after Breaking Bad. The Jimmy + Kim ship may still work out in the end. One can only dream….

This season has been okay, but to me its only top echelon episode has been "Mac & Dennis Move to the Suburbs" (which inexplicably got a fairly poor review). Sunny is probably running on fumes at this point, so I hope that this new writing team is an attempt by the Creators to reserve their remaining ideas for next…

Jimmy wants something out of life. He doesn't know what it is, but he wants it. Chuck knows what he wants. He wants to do good in the world. That want has rendered him incapable of even going outside. Jimmy on the other hand has spent years ignoring who he really is in a vain attempt to reconcile with his brother.
