Highly disagree. If you wanna argue that the timeline of the story doesn't evoke different emotions I don't know what else to say. I got my girlfriend to watch BCS with me having never watched Breaking Bad. I'm constantly having to explain to her the significance of certain moments. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone.

• Walt killing Mike
• Mike not being able to get his money to his granddaughter
• Hector finally getting his revenge on Gus
• The re-introduction of Saul
• And most importantly, watching Better Call Saul and having no sense of "safety" and thinking any character could die at any moment.

On a less emotional note, one thing I kept thinking during these final three or four episodes, but especially tonight, is how cool it would be to actually watch the entire franchise in chronological order, either as a virgin or veteran to the world, where you could take *all* the black and white scenes/episodes and watch them together as one long "movie" of sorts at the end. Keep all the other flashbacks where they are - anything with Gus and his history, keep the Breaking Bad flashbacks exactly where they are in the black and white story, etc - but basically go...

- BETTER CALL SAUL - S1-S6 (minus all black and white scenes/episodes)
- BREAKING BAD - S1-S5
- EL CAMINO
- BETTER CALL SALL EPILOGUE - All black and white scenes/episodes edited together (w/ Breaking Bad flashbacks intact)

Then the entire franchise is basically bookended by the Jimmy/Kim story, with an epic crime drama in the middle.

I just think it would be really cool to see something like this offered as an alternate option on Netflix or AMC+ or wherever the franchise ultimately ends up streaming.

I am in the camp that thinks Better Call Saul walked a fine line and sometimes went over it in terms of pacing. I definitely hit the "Jump 10 Seconds" button a few times in the 6 seasons and during Nippy. Sometimes scenes would drag over for me, but it never was too often or brought the show down overall.

---

I just don't understand this at all. How ADD are you?

---

I think if you either don't care about a scene, or aren't invested in it, that's not an unreasonable thing to do.
If you jump forward and something doesnt make sense, you can always go back

---

Then why are you watching the show if you don't care about it?

---

One, I don't do it but I understand why someone would.
You can really enjoy a show and not care for certain storylines at all, or care for a certain episode.
It's the same as just sort of zoning out because it's not interesting.

---

Ah, so it's for the people that need all the 'splosions? Got it.

Your take is dumb here. give it a rest. Not everyone has to be fully emotionally invested in every second of every scene of a 6 year run.

I don't recall skipping anything but there were things I certainly glossed over even multitasking at times. And I had to rewind a few times.

Doesn't lessen the overall impact of the show. And it wasn't always gripping. That's some rear view glorification.

Also found it funny that Gene fines himself in the deepest **** of his life and his first phone call in jail is to the Cinnabon store. That'd have been the least of my concerns.

Parallel to Gus calling the manager at Pollos after he'd been shot. Keeping up outward appearances with people who aren't in the game is part of the game. In the wise words of Kevin in The Office, "respect the game."

Well you could always not watch. That would make the threads discussing the show much more enjoyable.

---

But much lower quality. I'm one of the few posters worth a damn on this board.

I think Jimmy gets off scott free

Jimmy gets arrested, represents himself, or has that former prosecutor defend him, and wiggles off the hook. Although full-on courtroom drama is not what I'm anticipating for a series finale
