      @@chrispekel5709 I agree. Nobody brings up his behavior at the vacuum place, which seemed brooding and reflective to me. And, it seemed as though he genuinely wanted to go on and live a simple life.
      He also gave Walt some very decent, human advice about what would be best for his family, and played it as though he truly wanted to see Walt mitigate the hurt he's caused to them. When Walt went on to press him to go with him, there was no chance.
      That whole time in the bunker it always felt like Saul was a different person to me. Now I know, he was essentially Jimmy at that point. The finale of BCS solidifies that notion even more, by showing that he was in fact thinking about Chuck, while telling Walt about the slip and fall.
      But it's strange to me that I've never heard anybody else really mention that, up until the finale of BCS dropped. Even Vince Gilligan and Bob Odenkirk, when discussing times where Saul's humanity came through, don't bring it up (at least I've not heard it if they did).
      Another time I always think about, that I seldom hear anyone mention, is after Saul finds out what Walter did with the ricin cigarette he had Huell lift off Jesse. When he finds out that he helped a kid get poisoned, Saul gets SINCERELY upset.
      He throws the ricin cigarette at Walt and tells him "I woulda NEVER helped you if you told me what you were gonna do with this! Get it outta here I don't even want it! You and me? We're done. DONE!!"
      This is the one time where I think he genuinely only continued due to fear. Because Walt gets up in his face and gives him full Heisenberg "we're done, when I SAY we're done!"
      Anyway, to me those were the two times in the show it seemed like Jimmy to me. But I hardly hear anyone mention them.

    In just one of the amazing moments of the BCS finale, in both Mike and Walt's flashbacks with Saul, both admit to Saul somewhat "true" regrets, while Saul basically gives them nothing. He never accepted responsibility for anything he did, ever. It was his defining character trait. That is why the ending was so powerful because for the first time really in his life he finally took responsibility for what he did.

    • @mjj3132
      @mjj3132 Před rokem +30

      Mike's regret is certainly true, because Mike was always the guy who refused to ever sugarcoat anything about who he had become, and what he was doing. And very true about Saul.
      But Walter's? Yeah, it's a legit regret, but it's incredibly telling about his character. He ignores everything he's actually done, and goes back to a point in time where hey, maybe the world could have known about his brilliance without his having to resort to cooking meth and committing mass murder. All while shuffling most of the blame onto Gretchen and Elliot.

    • @nighTmareCSGO
      @nighTmareCSGO Před rokem +12

      That’s a great point m jj really well said. It shows how ugly and selfish of a person Walter really was. Years of being snubbed at by people turned him so vindictive and petty. He could’ve regretted poisoning a child. Regretted killing lots of people in prison all within 3 minutes of each other. Even could’ve regretted selling his son figure into slavery. But no. His regret comes from his ego and pride.

    How could you not mention one of BCS's BIGGEST plot twists???? For me, it definitely has to be the fact that both Lalo and Howard ended up being buried underneath GUS' FREAKING METH LAB!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes when I watched it, and I was already disturbed and shocked after both demises.
    Better Call Saul has definitely not only stood my itself as a "solo" show independent from Breaking Bad, but has also succedeed by expectations as a prequel or spin-off ever created. Mind-blowing and brilliant writing.

      @@bigkahuna3534 For me it made sense. Saul Goodman was a wanted man who helped Walter White and Jesse Pinkman legally sell Meth in New Mexico.
      He was going to get caught eventually. As soon as he started slipping back into his old ways in 6x10, I knew he was going to get caught.
      If Saul took over he would've thrown Kim under the bus in the Courtroom, but Jimmy took control and he did the moral thing and made her out to be a helpless bystander with the whole Howard/Lalo situation, similar to how Walt made Skyler out to be innocent at the end of Breaking Bad.
      Yes, the typical Hollywood Ending would be for Jimmy and Kim to walk off into the sunset together, but this bittersweet realistic Ending with Jimmy serving time in Prison and letting Kim go to live a crime free life in Florida was perfect to me.
      A beautiful and realistic way to end their stories, whilst simultaneously making Breaking Bad an even better Show.
      Each to their own, but I loved the Finale. Both Shows are amazing!!!
