For anybody else that was fiending for it, looks like someone made it. Could definitely be improved on though

my prediction…it will go to full color with Gene representing himself as Saul Goodman, embracing his true self as Chuck said he would respect him more if he stopped with the guilt…and then the show cuts out. That’s Saul’s happy ending. Being himself.

Okay, so like... I loved this finale. Just want to get that out of the way. I cried like 4x. All those Jimmy x Kimmy moments were so f***ing powerful

As some constructive criticism: one thing I am a little confused about is exactly what Jimmy did to exonerate Kim / get that civil case heat off of her with his testimony. When Walt was intentionally exonerating Skylar on the phone he went ham and made it very clear (falsely) that she had not partaken willingly. It seems like a big part of Jimmy eating the 86 years was to save Kim, but he didn't really seem to do that?? Or maybe I missed something. Sure, he didn't implicate her or give the DA anything else, but I fail to see what he did to get Howard's wife off of her back

Is he just hoping that if someone takes the fall with his 86 years then Mrs. Hamlin will just feel enough justice has been had? Maybe I need to rewatch idk idk

anyone found the finale similar to the shield except the shield was more nihilistic?

They are so similar fam, like it would mirror them if Saul screwed Kim and accepted the 7 years deal. Vic ends basically like Gene by the end of the series and him taking the gun suggests withdrawals and no signs of redemption.
Shane kills himself and his family while Kim tries to live with what she done. I love it despite being so negative but it always felt incomplete unlike this one.

When you watch Breaking bad, was he really the mastermind or main factor behind Walter Whites actions or success? Not in my opinion

I believe that the whole point of the finale wasn’t that he confessed for Kim but that Saul finally did the right thing and told the truth. He could’ve gotten away with it and gotten out in 7 years but would’ve continued living the lie he was miserable doing in all those flash forward scenes

Kim was also living a miserable life having to keep up with the lie and once she found out that she can confess without putting Saul in danger she did so she could free herself

Saul is doing the same job in jail he was doing at Cinnabon but is happier because although he’s locked up he’s free not having to worry about getting caught in his lies

I think him learning Kim confessed willing to accept whatever consequence it came with helped him do the same. His confessions just came with harsher consequences

TLDR: Saul “broke good” at the end instead of cutting corners again and taking the easy way out

Nah, ending on the scene prior implies they're back together in some way, as if she'll just keep visiting him and s*** for years.

Ending where we do illustrates the distance that still exists between them, and pretty much tells us that's that for them - that chapter of Kim's life is behind her, she walks away on her own terms, into her own future.
