    I watched that! Crazy stuff. The music Ryan Murphy used was perfect. I do think it should have ended a season or 2 before it did. 

    The Carver!! Yeah I agree that weird love story between Christian and Liz in the 3rd season was just weird...

    Thanks for finding that. How about looking for the scene where she duplicates it in her posture?

    A screen shot of that was posted somewhere recently within one of the forum topics, Ill look for it, maybe someone here knows exactly where it is.

    The Shield is very very good. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    Also, thought experiment for us:

    Ask yourself if 86 years is the right punishment for his deeds? Come up with a clear answer. One you can defend.

    (Extra credit- do you kind if hope he gets out early or on a technicality,  etc.?)

    Now, ask yourself this: what if JSG had clonked the 'cancer guy' over the head and/or strangled Marion?

    Would your answers change?

    Well if he would have broken open the doggos urn he would have deserved the death penalty...IMO

    By using her Bar Card as "his attorney" they were able to meet totally alone and face to face. If she had just came as a visitor the visit would have been supervised and possibly even thru a thick piece of plexiglass, even recorded or someone listening in.

    As his attorney they get privilege's, she was even able to have him uncuffed.

    She's making some changes. I don't see her in a prison romance with her ex, but who knows.

    She may visit Saul another time or two and respond a few times to the endless prisoner letters he is bound to write her. Then she will start yup yupping a new fella, maybe get married and disappear to live her life and sooner or later Jimmy will realize what a huge mistake he made.

    See, I think (for the sake of comparison) the "Breaking Bad" finale requires way more suspension of disbelief.  You need to believe that Walt MacGuyvers a system to shoot a machine gun, is able to park his vehicle in the exact right spot, has all his enemies in range at the right time before they can go for their weapons and manages to duck and avoid bullets long enough to finish what he started.  It's absolutely preposterous.  But it's great television.

    .

    Point taken... I would even add the movie "Die Hard", so many missteps in the writing but certainly exciting to watch

    I haven't watched any AntonJackson stuff. He's new to me. I don't know if I'll watch this. Almost an hour and a half. Ugh. I watched the first few minutes, impatient with all the cross-praise. Maybe I'll give it a shot later.

    I'm hoping this isn't the Courtney's official review on Sauls Gone, I couldn't get past his glasses even to listen for more than a few mins myself, much less for an hour and 20 mins LOL

    Fair enough.  But I would add that once a person sets the bar for fictional characters at "realistic"--or makes any other kind of global negative statement--it precludes them from being able to meaningfully discuss the episode and/or show.  

    When some of us say "It's fiction", what we are really saying is "We are willing to suspend disbelief in order to appreciate the episode/show".   It's a way to get clarity about who is, and who is not, willing to talk about the show from that perspective. 

    I understand...and I respect that, I wasn't throwing shade just adding an opinion 

    On to something less serious...

    Ya know with the fans that are forestalling other fans dislike for the finale by saying "its fiction", that is true. However I don't think I have ever once heard that excuse given for any other episode of BCS or BB.  The reason for that is its never been necessary to remind fans its a fictional show because the writing had never left so many huge back to back implausibilities in a single episode before as Saul Gone has.

    We may like to think he's going to have an okay time in federal prison, honing his baking skills and advising inmates. He's still locked up. He's not on top anymore.

    And no hookers! Well at least not female ones...

    Jimmy’s very clear redemption and that he loved Kim so much he’d spend his life in prison. 

    That is just plain ridiculous! Not your assumption, but that they indeed wrote it that way. I personally expected so much more from G&G.

    IMO, the entire finale was so poorly written that its hard to believe the same writers that for over 120 previous combined episodes were so detail orientated, so meticulous, so brilliant, so cunning, so adroitly ingenious that they just gave up on the last one! So many thoughtless, implausible missteps and odd aberrations that it was beyond disappointing to me...

    For the fans that liked or even "loved it"...good for you and to each their own.

    For those saying Jimmy's seven-year plea deal was unrealistic, I point you to today's headlines -- not mentioning details because that would make it political, but a defendant pleaded guilty to FIFTEEN felonies and the prison term part of the deal is five months.

    I saw that on some youtube commentary - there was one other finale in season 4 that ended with finger guns.  I'm still wondering if that's a reference to a classic movie, though.

    I thought there was at least one other as well... almost like all the jazz hands

    I like to think of Jimmy's parting finger guns as him saying "don't worry about me, I'll be alright."

    Episode 5/10 the season finale, after Kim came up with the plan to run the scheme on Howard, she did the double finger gun gesture to Saul, right down to blowing away the smoke. He was referencing back to her..

    I wish that I liked it.  I have no issue with Jimmy doing time. That’s a perfectly reasonable option, but the manner and how ridiculous it was seemed like a waste to me.  I won’t go into all the implausible missteps, that disappointed me.  It doesn’t really matter at this point, but I was sad because it seemed like the (writers) gave up.  I never felt that way before about this show off BB.  And no song!  That’s just bull shit.  I’m not a happy camper today 

    SunnyBee, this is 100% correct and exactly the way I feel!

    It's funny because I was going to make a post this evening and it would have been almost word for word of what you just wrote. (great minds LOL) I actually don't even have anything to add...good job!

    When Walt says to him, "So you were always like this," he could have been talking about himself. In the NPR review linked to earlier, Peter Gould recounts talking to Gilligan years ago:

    I do not see it that way...I think Walt was always a straight laced, hard working family man, maybe not too far removed from Yup Yup. It was the money and the power that eventually changed him.
