I think he was just showing everyone what a great con man he is and get them to lower the sentence. A power flex. The fact he was able to fearlessly say all of that in the way that he did to someone with a direct connection to one of Walter White’s victims is to give everyone a glimpse of what he was could do in a…

Except Jimmy did some crappy things and Saul did a lot of horrible things. By the end of the series, you lost all sympathy for him as he becomes the more hard-edged and desperate Gene. It’s hard not to see the Saul pulling all of that BS to Hank’s widow and not see a monster underneath all of that. In a way, they had…

Look at it this way- one of Jimmy’s main characteristics and maybe his biggest flaw is his ability to compartmentalize what happens to him and move on from all the disasters he’s created. At the end, he decides to “break good” and finally own up to what he’s done. He finally acknowledges his guilt in the events of the…

He wasn’t in love with Marie and she never was his conscious. He did what he did to earn her approval 

Jimmy would totally be the kind of prison mate who runs scams the whole time to bring in contraband from the outside

My biggest guess is that it’ll end with Kim having to testify against Jimmy as it seems like the most tragic ending to a show that is essentially a tragedy.

BCS was always more of a character piece than an action show so the idea that Kim was going to be killed by a cartel seemed off because it’s just not that kind of a show. What happened and is happening is much more in line with the type of show it is 

It ends with Jimmy meeting up with Walter, Mike, Gus and Lalo in an ecumenical church where the descend you to some weight light where they’re greeted by Jack Shepard

I’m not sure that we as a country deserve that

It was a long-standing joke on the AV Club, way back in it’s heydays about not being able to give episodes an A+ to the point the writers would joke about it. I think Emily (who went by Todd back then) managed to sneak one through or tried before it getting cut out.

All that is true but there’s an edge to him, especially dealing with Buddy and Jeff that Saul never had. I feel like in almost all of the circumstances he finds himself in, Saul would have been able to talk himself out of trouble while Gene almost resorts to violence.

Agreed. Does she really need to tell all of that to Cheryl? Knowing that Howard committed suicide might be much easier to take than him being killed accidentally by a member of a drug cartel because two  of Howard’s peers were scheming to ruin his career

It gave me full on Tarantino vibes 

But both Jimmy and Kim saw much better lives for themselves than they wound up, something better than mundane lives working mundane jobs. Kim spent most of her life working hard and playing by all the rules to become a very successful lawyer. Jimmy wanted to prove to his brothers and others that he was more than a…

Or, he knows that he’s gotten away with everything and now that he’s reasserted himself as a great con man, got too cocky. He also might have done it as a way of showing up the other two members of the gang because they were scared and nervous about robbing the cancer guy so Gene did a bit of a flex to show how much…

That would be an interesting way to watch it as it make it seem like the focus of the two shows is Saul and not Walter White. In the same way if you watch the Star Wars prequels straight through to RotJ, it would be much more about Annakin/Darth Vader than Luke

Maslany should be in everything- sitcoms, Netflix 6 episode mini-series, true crime documentaries- and whatever she can’t do they should give to Rhea Seahorn. Or maybe they could just trade spots? Since Maslany gets Marvel, Rhea could get DC. One could do Netflix series’ and the other one Hulu. One would get a role on…

I could definitely see an ending in which Kim has to testify against Jimmy. It’ll make what is essentially a tragic story even more tragic 

There’s a very obvious symmetry to post-breakup Kim and Jimmy. Both of them- Florida Kim and Cinnabon Gene- are living grey mudane existences doing medial work. Their lives used to be exciting and both were talented in highly skilled jobs but those lives are over. Kim has made some sort of peace with her life and…

Jimmy called her bluff in that phone call. I also think she sees what happened to Jimmy after they split up and saw a small reflection of how she turned out after the death of Howard.
