    Saw the pilot, am willing to give it a chance.

      the second to last scene in particular was moving.
      That scene kicked my as-s.

      I approve of the finale.

      And I can think of no better symbol for transcendent goodness than Carol Burnett.

          Good point, I have cut it; feel free to cut it from the quote.

          Spoilers:

          I loved all the flashbacks. The Chuck one is so powerful because (1) the pathos, (2) how painful it is for both of them, (3) how the two of them are the same in so many ways. Jimmy killed Chuck and Chuck deserved it. That they each could inspire some amount of homage is a testament to how we can ignore the fundamental awfulness of people if we like some inhuman quality about them. But **** that, they were monsters.

          "Oh. So you were always like this." sums up Jimmy perfectly. Jimmy always was Saul. There is no difference.

          Jimmy belongs in supermax for life, away from people he can hurt. If he can figure out a way to work it in there then great. He is with his own. I appreciate what he did for Kim at the end, but he's still a monumental piece of trash just like Walter White. This universe is over, bury it like Howard's corpse.

          • I read an interview with one of the creators and it is blatantly obvious the fan fiction writers thought way too much about where the show was going. He also basically confirmed they had no idea where it was going until late in the process.

            A couple good tidbits:

            The idea of the flashbacks was similar in idea to Ebenezer Scrooge. Three Ghosts from his past to show who he really is and what he is.

            In the script they go out if their way to label him based on what the scene is and who he is supposed to be. His lines are labelled "Gene" until he sees the "My Lawyer will reem your ***" or whatever on the wall and then there is a note how he becomes Saul again. Saul asks for the phone call. Then as he confesses he is credited as Jimmy, before he calls himself that. Each character gets their closure and time to shine.

            He kind of implies that if Kim had not repented Saul would have taken the deal. He saw she did the right thing and so Jimmy chose to as well. Now she is back to living a good life and Saul is where he belongs.

                  Slick is the opposite of what Wednesday is supposed to be, and the on-beat-perfect-corporate-Disney pacing is a desecration of Charles Addams, but meh, better than another MCU pile. Let us know.

                  • Man, these streaming services are going to hate hearing how someone they didn't expect to watch their stuff won't in fact watch their stuff. Impotent posturing will surely be their downfall.
