‘Better Call Saul’ Series Finale: How Does Saul’s Story End?

Ethan Shanfeld SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you have not watched the series finale of “Better Call Saul,” titled “Saul Gone.”Chuck McGill was lovingly brought back to life in the series finale of “Better Call Saul,” but Michael McKean, who reprises his role as the late lawyer in a flashback sequence, isn’t quite sure what it all means — because he’s still a few episodes behind on the AMC series.In two flashbacks during the finale, Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) asks Mike (Jonathan Banks) and Walter White (Bryan Cranston) where they’d go if they had a time machine. Both Mike and Walt lament major regrets — taking a bribe and leaving Gray Matter Technologies, respectively — but Jimmy refrains from getting too personal.

Breaking Bad characters for “glorifying meth makers”.Last month, bronze statues of the fictional characters Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) from the series were unveiled at the Albuquerque Convention Centre in New Mexico. The ceremony was attended by Breaking Bad cast members and crew, along with Albuquerque mayor Tim Keller.The statues, commissioned by Sony Pictures Television and show creator Vince Gilligan, were donated in the hopes they will attract “busloads of tourists” to the city, which served as the setting for Breaking Bad and spin-off Better Call Saul.Speaking to Fox News, Republican state representative Rod Montoya criticised the statues, saying: “I’m glad New Mexico got the business, but really? We’re going down the road of literally glorifying meth makers?”Eddy Aragon, a conservative radio host based in Albuquerque, shared the same sentiment, saying: “It’s not the type of recognition we want for the city of Albuquerque, or for our state.“I think what you saw on Breaking Bad should be a documentary honestly,” he added.

Better Call Saul, the hit spin-off series to its widely popular predecessor Breaking Bad, wrapped up its six-season run on August 15.Witnessing the nuances they brought to their iconic characters over the years, AMC has announced that Bob Odenkirk and Giancarlo Esposito won't be leaving the network's fold just yet.Odenkirk, who played ethically challenged lawyer Saul Goodman to perfection in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, is set to star in the network's new series Straight Man, while Esposito, the man behind the drug dealing Gustavo Fring character on both AMC shows, will be playing the lead role in The Driver. Staying with AMC: Giancarlo Esposito (left) and Bob Odenkirk (right) have both landed the leads for new series with AMC, which will be their third with the network following their roles in Breaking Bad and Better Call SaulBased on the Richard Russo novel of the same name, Straight Man tells the story of William Henry Devereaux Jr.

Just when it looked like Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) had finessed his way into a sweet plea agreement — just seven years at the most country club-like of correctional facilities (low-security FCI Butner Low, which even has a golfing program!) — he reversed course and confessed all, in Monday night’s series finale of AMC’s “Better Call Saul.”It was a finale rife with references to regret, time machines and how there’s “no shame in going back and changing your path,” as Chuck McGill (played by Michael McKean, who returns in a flashback) tells his younger brother.
