TV is not real life but no one is going to do what Jimmy did. 7 years at club fed vs 86 at supermax…never.

so this bothered me too, for a couple of reasons.

first, kim was really the one pushing the "ruin howard" scheme. jimmy even tried to pull her back at least once, but she insisted.

second, did anything jimmy say really help her? there is still a sworn affidavit out there and if howard's widow wants to sue kim civilly, she can. the whole point of kim confessing was to clear her conscience, is she now going to lie under oath?

third, even if kim gets sued civilly, she doesn't really appear to have much. so she gets a judgment against her, declares bankruptcy and still winds up helping out in a legal aid center.

and if jimmy/saul is the lawyer we know him to be, wouldn't he have known all of the above and realized that "coming clean" like he did wouldn't really do much to help kim?

edit: to be clear, i LOVED the finale

he wasnt helping kim alone. he realized that he was very bad for the entire world. he got all these people killed. chuck suicide. howard murder. hank and gomey. the buystanders, truckdrivers, good samaritans, even mike and some of the players. he was doing it again which got him caught. he will never resist. it was a public service.

I think the exception to this rule is if the dying spouse is Walter ****ing White, aka the devil himself. Get a grip

Come on man, his intentions were good. If Jesse hadn't been such a wuss about everything, they all could have lived happily ever after.

They did release that American Greed episode.

At the time I took it as some sort of special feature / promo bonus material.

Now I think it was an essential part of the show.

You know, in hindsight.

Confirms that Saul may have been a household name like jb said above.

You look at carol burnett's life alert call. 'He's a wanted fugitive and his name is Saul Goodman!'

Maybe she was watching American Greed on youtube when Saul turned up at the house.

She said she googled con man and Albuquerque and he was the first thing that came up. That's how she found it.

I don't believe that at all. Everything you said was true just a few days earlier when he was claiming to be a victim and negotiating a slap on the wrist.

The only circumstance that changed was Kim facing a lawsuit

But he didn't defeat Saul completely. He went right back to being Saul once it benefited him in Jail.

Was I the only one that thougjt the gaurd was going to take him to the warden for legal advice like Shawshank?

For me it was either one of these two reasons or a combination,
He had made up mind he wanted to be clean, and the battle with the feds was just him proving to himself he do do it before letting go, he knew he had little left on the outside, no money, no one who cared about him etc.
or
Hearing Kim had come clean finally woke him up to what he had become, and he decided to follow suit. She was always the moral center of the show and kept him within bounds, and this was the last time for that. It also had the added bonus of partially reconciling with her in the process.
I thought it made a ton of sense.

The one nit I would pick with the finale was the bus scene with the chanting. It's not that the scene bothered me like some here, I just don't understand how they knew who he was. His ads weren't national. And even if he was in the papers it wasn't for his catch phrase (and unlikely those would be the folks reading it). The prison was in Colorado, and the other inmates co7ld have been from anywhere.

But it's a small issue against an really really well made finale. The thing that Gilligan and Gould did so well in both series was work towards a finale over all the years, unlike most every show that blows their wad after one or two years and just tries to hang on for the paycheck (Westworld).

---

Wouldn't one assume though that he was well known everywhere after all that took place in the BB timeline? His name would be all over the national news in the wake of the Walter White demise.

I get it's a fictional show but put into reality, DEA agents have been killed, and all the other events that are too many to type happened. One would have to live in a bubble not to have seen a Better Call Saul ad on the national news when they hear about everything else that transpired.

Everyone knew who he was, hence the instant reaction sparked by Delores' life alert calling out Saul Goodman. He was a national figure similar to being someone on an America's Most Wanted list. At least that's how I view it.

Famous criminals get real famous among criminals. I didnt think it was unrealistic at all

I didn't think of it before, dumb me.

But if you google that a Better Call Saul commercial comes up #1.
