ford prefect Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 The end of a tremendous show. Definitely one of the best shows ever made. I liked the ending, but I'll say no more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 AMC showed the finale twice back to back last night and I ended up watching both. I think it took me to the second viewing, once I'd got a little bit beyond the sense of "well, what am I supposed to do now on Monday nights?" to appreciate how in keeping with the rest of the show that final episode really was. Spoiler Loved it that Jimmy got his Sandpiper break by dumpster surfing and then ends up getting caught in a dumpster. That's Saul, folks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Spoiler Probably the deserved ending for Saul. My point about the lesser sentencing was proven right to a certain extent, the DA were willing to accept 7 years on account that he didn't cook meth, sell meth or kill anyone and just laundered money in fear of being murdered. But him taking the higher ground and admitting he knew all about it and was a part of it was the right thing to do morally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger29 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Can't believe its over.I do kinda want a Gus Fring prequel now but if it doesn't happen then I'll be happy with how the BCS/BB universe ended.I don't like the idea of a Kim prequel. How many storylines could there be about Kim before she met Jimmy? She only properly "broke bad" during BCS.Gus has obviously been a massive nutjob for yonks. There's many storylines that could come from his side.Might be time to do a full runthrough of BCS --> BB --> El Camino --> Last few episodes of BCS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Nah leave as it is. We don't need any more prequels. As someone said, Banks is mid 70s and Esposito mid 60s, it would look daft going back 15-20 years for a prequel now. Would look as iffy as Aaron Paul reprising Jesse in 2022 to play him in 2008-2009. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Brilliant. Still digesting it so will probably write more later but immediate snippet thoughts Marie's eulogy of Hank was funny, painting him as a great guy when we know he was very flawed. How can you sum the guy up and not mention the rocks! Jimmy/Saul in black & white without the Gene mask/moustache was weird! Thought we were going to get Skyler and Walt Jr cameo after Marie popped up, less is more though here and this show has never layed the nostalgia on too thick so was happy with capping it at Marie. Odenkirk was sublime wasn't he, what a performance Just generally so happy that they didn't f**k the ending up as so many shows do, just a terrific job wrapping things up for me The last line was perfect, it was like the perfect closing sentence in a great novel. Was really hoping there wasn't going to be anymore fluff dialogue from the guard or anything on the flowing scene as he accompanied Kim out which would have ruined it. Good job The post-credit indent on AMC suggests he gets his move to a cushier jail in the end. Though he seems to be doing ok as Saul in the "Alcatraz of the North" when we leave him.

Christophe Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Oh and not agreeing with the no need for anymore shows. Marvel the shit out if this universe for me! I want a Lydia show and a Blanca Gomez spin-off next 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtyten Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Spoiler A satisfying and credible conclusion to a brilliant show. Agreed that this should be the absolute end.

They don't seem put off by mentions of keeping it going though. Perhaps partly due to the $$$.Gus is probably the only one who could pull it off and not have the time/age gap be a significant factor imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler BCDC...Bernalillo County Detention Centre By the way, that's not on the UK Netflix version, neither is the goodbye messages from the cast and writers.

MONKMAN Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 In BCS and BB we have without doubt, one of the greatest shows in television history. A masterpiece. I'm not sure how I expected it to go, but seeing Saul shipped off to prison for the rest of his days is a truly fitting end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBadgers Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 What a wonderful series BB was and BCS has been, the equal of BB for me, if not better. When i started watching it a few years back i struggled to get into it, and stopped at end of season 2. I dont no why in retrospect. Something didnt click. But on catching up on the whole thing since beginning of 2022, it is fantastic, and one day im sure ill do it all again. Spin off - Doubt realistically there will be one, but gotta be about Lalo for me. Stood out above all else, in a cast and storyline of awesomeness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
