Wow. That felt truly and properly epic, a very befitting finale for this series and for this universe as a whole. Absolutely loved seeing how they wove all our old characters into the episode, even Marie which was unexpected.
I thought for sure Saul had one final trick up his sleeve during the hearing, and was also slightly worried he was gonna throw Kim under the bus somehow. Was relieved about the latter, but pretty surprised about the former. That was a great swerve. I guess his one final con was getting them down to 7 years, and that in itself was all he wanted.
You have to give them props for being able to give us the unexpected, up to the end. Though I will admit I wish it had ended with him getting out of prison and starting out with a clean slate. But in the back of my mind I knew it couldn't possibly end on a "happy" note.
Overall I think this was a great, albeit bittersweet finale, but it rings so true to what this show has been from the start. Couldn't have asked for more.
Side note: When Kim is having lunch with her co-workers in Florida, the street they mentioned that restaurant was on is the street my office is on. (I live in Central Florida in the same town Kim lives, or one town over.) Gotta love the attention to detail for even the smallest of details. Shows the kind of love and attention the writers put into this.
Man, I'm gonna miss this universe.
