Better Call Saul: Saul Gone [6x13] ✦ Full-Length Watchalong Reaction & Review
Added 2024-05-13 19:59:32 +0000 UTCAnd that's a wrap! It's Saul Gone.
I chat for quite a while at the end of this, not just about this finale, but the show overall, and my plan moving forward for how I want to bring these reactions to YouTube and provide something unique in the reaction space.
Thank you SO much for spending so much time with me through this journey. Your company for my first time watching has been so valuable. Thank you for all the fun fact sharing, sharing your own thoughts and opinions on acting, episodes, characters, moments. Thank you to those of you who decided to watch for the first time TOO, you made me feel not so alone in this and it was fun to speculate with you. [Direct link here.]
Cheers everyone! ❤️

Loved your reactions!!! Amazing!!! Kim should have been in prison with Jimmy. She also contributed to Howard's murder. She made her choices, and she is not a victim.

2024-05-14 15:57:48 +0000 UTCI think Kim was just proud of him for finally coming clean about everything, I would say especially so about Chuck. I think that moment of him getting his license back and fooling the board (and her) stuck with her this entire time. Basically that was the moment the name Saul Goodman was official, so it is fitting when he comes to terms with his relationship with Chuck that this is when Saul is gone. I love this show, and it's funny it recommended Dexter to you (for people who have seen both, they might know why). It's definitely a good show(Dexter), but I think it isn't as popular as it could be because it kind of had a similar GoT effect, of falling off hard at the end.

2024-05-14 06:09:22 +0000 UTCThanks for sharing! Oh I didn't miss the Exit sign moment, I should have said something! I think I was just too focused on paying attention on Jimmy's words specifically. Was def a great shot. Agree, the three fates are fitting. I'm glad Jesse is free, he's my fave and went through hell and was stuck when he wanted out.

2024-05-14 02:28:57 +0000 UTCYeah this finale broke me down emotionally 😅 it's such a beautiful, bittersweet ending to an amazing show. Jimmy owning up to what he did in court was basically a mirror of Walts "I did it for me" with Skyler. He just confessed to it all, and in doing so, he redeemed himself in a way Walt never could. Jimmy got his soul back. The whole Time Travel question from what I understand is "loosely" (again, very loosely) based on A Christmas Carol. Jimmy is visited by three ghosts of the past, asking the same question, and after the last ghost, he was changed. It's so touching that his true moment that he'd change was with Chuck. How he wished he'd tried harder and spent quality time with Chuck. Hell, if they'd done that, their relationship might be healed more, and so many issues would be resolved. Chuck may have seen Jimmy as more of the person he is, not the old version of Jimmy Chuck remembers. I absolutely adore the three endings we have for the three pillars of this universe. Walt died, Jesse got out and escaped, and Jimmy went to prison. All three fates are deserved by the three people. (Sure Jesse prob needed to go to prison as well, but after all he suffered towards the end, I dont think anyone wanted him to) Jimmy didn't deserve death like Walt, but he definitely shouldn't have gotten away either. One detail I think you may have missed is when Jimmy mentioned Chuck in court, they went up to the exit sign shot once again. You could hear the buzzing just like you could in Chicanery. It's like he was in the room again. One of my personal favorite moments in this finale was the bus scene. It's a nice scene, but beneath the surface, it's really adorable. Sure Saul was a criminal, but when you think about it, he did what other lawyers wouldn't. He defended the criminals that no one else would. Like Chuck said, they all deserve that fair defense with the law. So to them, Saul is like their hero. Gave them probably the best defense they could've gotten, given his skill and mastery at manipulating the law to his advantage. Even though Jimmy will spend the rest of his life in prison, seems like he's not gonna have too bad a time at all. I love Breaking Bad, but there is a brilliance to BCS that puts it right up there, and in some aspects, even surpasses it for me. So glad you enjoyed the show!

2024-05-13 23:53:54 +0000 UTCA few small details to start off. In the original airing they had a nice little video at the end with people on the show thanking the fans. The outfits they wore are pretty wild, especially that suit. The colors have to be different to be shot in B&W so the clothing tends to look like a technicolor nightmare. You might have missed it but there is a zoom in to the watch that Jesse gave him when Walt was asked about regrets. So yeah, he definitely felt bad about that one. I don't actually think he was proud of helping Walter White. He definitely feels very responsible though. So much of his choice was based on accountability. Him saying that Walter couldn't do it without him wasn't a boast, but more of a confession. He followed that up by saying his actions led to many of the awful things that followed. I mean yeah it is a testament to his ability but it's nothing to be proud of. He even confessed about Chuck which isn't even part of the case. My mother actually wanted him to "get away with it." She has pretty trashy taste about certain things though. I explained to her how that wouldn't make sense but she just had that look on her face. (some people just love escapism above all I guess haha) On top of that though was helping Kim, or at least earning her respect. I don't think he would want to live in a world where Kim didn't at least have a little respect for him on some level. This show is by in large a love story. (She is ultimately the reason he owned up to everything after all) If he gets a big sentence there is less of a reason to go after her. That's still up in the air but I doubt there would be as much motivation especially since Kim already showed so much contrition. And the fact that she is a lawyer again but without Jimmy there, I think that's good for everyone. There's more to it but I'm sure you will get plenty of explanations from the people on the show and even other fans who articulate this stuff better than me. (what a rambler am I right? I mean what is this knucklehead even trying to convey?) I would recommend you watch the other "What's Therapy" videos first. He did a number of videos on BCS that were quite in depth. Like full on character analysis and such. In general as far as YouTube essays there are some really good ones on both shows. There are however some videos where people who clearly didn't get it or at least have a motive in falsely representing them just keep hammering home dog whistles about machismo or seizing your destiny or something. I will say that on average the BCS essays tend to be better not just because there is more context overall at this point but because there is less room in BCS to give these bad faith arguments given the nature of the show. (people still do though) I would say that it is very easy to spot whether an essayist actually understood the shows pretty quickly. I could say a whole lot more, but it's already a bit of a ramble so to avoid making it more confusing than my silly banter tends to get I will just say that it's been fun!
