    A few things I found interesting in this write up is the flash forwards we have been seeing are leading up to something in about 2015 when Jimmy has been relocated presumably on the run, 5 years or so after breaking bad ends. Looks like things haven't been going well for slippery Jimmy.

    Also there is currently a 4 year gap between the most recent season of Saul and the first season of BB. I read that next season of Saul will be the last. What a bummer and how exciting! Will they cover all 4 years or will we have a few gap years still unaccounted for?

    I found another article that says no one knows what will happen to Kim.i feel she will meet a terrible ending, but it could go either way. It's not even certain that she isn't still with Jimmy in the BB years. If I had to put money on it I would say Lalo is going to be her end somehow.

    They need another spin off of this great show.

    What a great ending. The episode in the desert was Vince Gilligan at his best. And now we're watching Kim break bad it seems. And Lalo! What a great actor and character.

    The show was a slow burn compared to BB, but man it has gotten so good.

    Kim's character development has been a fun ride. I'm going to be sad if she ends up dying.

    What happened in the last 30 seconds? Damn if I didn't HAVE to leave the room for a sec at that moment. I came back and it was over.

    I wonder if Gene becomes Saul again, or Jimmy? The whole AMC ad campaign is Gene and Saul's red jacket. But is he putting it on or taking it off?

    Has anyone been watching? Any predictions for the finale? Thought the 2nd half of the final season has been a little uneven with the Point and Shoot episode obviously a high point along with last weeks episode. Should be fascinating to sit down with a cinnabon on Monday night and watch what will most likely be the final piece of the Albuquerque Gilliganverse!

    Been watching! I agree about the 2nd half being uneven.

    Was hoping for a Jimmy and Kim happy ever after, but that seems extremely unlikely, lol.

    I'm starting to get worried about an ending that leaves enough things unresolved for a few movies later on.

    I think it's safe to say that happy ending for the two of them is NOT coming. I'm wondering if the backlash they caught for the ending of BB where Walt kind of gets everything he wants forced them into going the opposite direction here. I'm here for any BB/Saul content they want to put out and I know Gilligan has said he has some ideas but nothing concrete. Just tough to see where they would go from here. I am thinking about running back BB right after Monday for the 4th (or maybe 5th) time.

    Ending: Saul runs. Heads to Mexico. Gets captured by a cartel and is forced to work in a meth factory. The End.
