Better Call Saul: Saul Gone (2022)
Amazing Finale
Let's make it quick. This wasn't only a great Finale, it was something else.
Better Call Saul in general was killing it at this point. This whole season was great and i just couldn't ask for more. I felt like when the show began it was great, but it got better with every new season and with season six arriving i just couldn't take it anymore. I gotta admit the first half of the final season was a little bit better than the second, however the final 3 episodes were something else.
This ending was very different from Felina (Breaking Bad Finale), and Felina is considered to be one of the greatest finales in television history. Yes that is true, the ending was perfect and everyone we wanted to die, died. Even the megalomaniac Heisenberg himself. Even if nobody died in this episode, I
still think it was more fitting for Better Call Saul. Actually, in the beginning i felt like i didn't really like the finale, but after a little while i realised how great this episode was. Amazing cameos and a very unexpected one from Marie Schrader (Betsy Brandt) and of course the awaited Walter White (Bryan Cranston) one too. I think that everything Saul did in this episode lead to something or reflected a previous scene from the show, for example: The cigarette sharing with Kim in the the final scene, or the finger gun thing in the end, all reflected to previous events or moments occurring in the show. I also really liked that Saul told everything, and got himself incarcerated for the rest of his life and yes, even if that was the ending we expected we just couldn't expect something else and they did it so beautifully too. Peter Gould did an amazing job directing and writing this episode, and i don't think it'll ever be forgotten. This show, even if it was very different from Breaking Bad and it's finale, i don't know which one i like the most. I think they are great in different ways. Better Call Saul was just perfect
And so was this finale. This is not only a great episode, it's a television masterpiece. I will miss this show so much. Vince and Peter did an amazing job with this show and i just don't know what to say. Goodbye Breaking Bad universe, you will be missed, but never forgotten. It's Saul Gone, man.
Breaking Bad: Ozymandias (2013)
The Perfect Episode
Ozymandias is perfect. The episode that contained everything that a Breaking Bad lover wanted. Starting with seeing a flashback from when Walt and Jesse had their first cook (Pilot), (on the same place where part of this episode takes place). Walt has a phone call with Skyler in which she suggests the name Holly for their upcoming baby. This flashback is not only the best in Breaking Bad, but also one of the best first minutes of a TV-series episode in general. After the flashback we see a continuation from the previous episode (To'hajiilee), which ended with the shootout between Hank, Steve Gomez and Uncle Jack's gang. The cliffhanger we get from the previous episode was very dramatic and this episode finishes it very well. In the beginning we see Steve Gomez laying on the floor, dead, while Hank still tries to survive. Meanwhile Walt continues to shout (from the car in which he is locked in with handcuffs) at Jack to stop. After the shootout Jack holds a gunpoint on Hank's head while wounded and therefore can't move, Walt walks out of the car still with handcuffs, trying to bargain for his brother-in law's life telling him that he is family and that he cares about him and that he is prepared give the money (80 million dollars) that he buried nearby (Buried). Then, Hank says one of the memorable quotes from this episode: "You want me to beg? You are the smartest guy i ever met and you are too stupid to see... that he made up his mind ten minutes ago" and afterward saying, "Do what you gotta do" putting a bullet in his head while saying the sentence. This dramatic moment left the audience shocked (myself included) to see one of the best and most important characters in the show, die. Truly shocking. Right after Hank's death Walter falls on the ground, crying. After he mentioned where the money is buried, Jack's gang dig out the money and leaving only one barrel left to his family. What a horrible moment. To see almost all the money he earned, everything he sacrificed for, simply disappearing. Jack and his men buries Hank's and Gomez's bodies on the same place where Walt buried his money.
Meanwhile, Jesse, hiding under a car, gets spotted by Jack and therefore taken out. However instead of getting killed they take him as a prisoner so he can cook meth for them. During that moment Jesse angrily stares at Walt and truly wanting to kill him, Walt tells Jesse that he watched his former girlfriend, Jane, choke to death without doing anything. This infuries Jesse a lot and he really starts hating him. After the horror and the suspense, we don't see the credits till' nearly 20 minutes in. Walter takes his only barrel with money left and starts rolling it on the floor until he finds a Navajo man and asks to buy his car for 10 000$.
Meanwhile at the car wash, Marie tells Skyler that Walt has been captured, forcing Skyler to tell Walter Jr. The truth about his father. Walter Jr. Gets shocked and don't believing them. Walter returns home to pack all of his stuff and tells his family to take everything and get out of there. Marie and Skyler are worried about Hank, since he hasn't returned nor picked up the phone. At the White residence Skyler asks Walt if he knew what happened to him, without answering he continues to take stuff and Skyler asks if he killed Hank, but Walt simply says, "It's all gonna be ok, i promise just do as i say and take everything". Instead, thinking that Walt may be responsible for Hank's death she takes out a knife threatening him, Cutting his Hand, Walt tries to protect himself and throw away the knife. This sequence was very intense, seeing Skyler trying to kill her husband in front of her son. Right after he threw away the knife, both wife and son, terrified of him, Junior calls the police and Walt acts quickly by taking his baby daughter Holly and driving away while Skyler runs after screaming. After Walt escaped he put duct tape on his wound where Skyler stabbed her. Where he enters a public restroom to change Holly she says "Mama" making Walt to undo his actions and wanting to return her mother. Back at the White residence, the place is swarmed by cops as well as Marie. During that moment the phone rings and it's: Walt, knowing that the police is listening, starts chastising her for being ungrateful and saying that so the police doesn't think that she is involved in this at all. Skyler, asking about Hank's fate, Walt tells that they are never gonna see him again, which makes everyone cry, especially his wife Marie . Walt leaves Holly at a fire station with the White residence's adress.
On the next day. Walt is sitting on the roadside with his barrel with money, waiting for Ed Gailbrath to arrive to change his identity due to him being wanted by the police. He hops in his van taking the money with him and therefore concluding the episode
This episode may have been the saddest and most dramatic, but also the best. Having everything crazy in one episode is amazing and Rian Johnson (Fly) (Fifty-One) did an amazing job directing this episode. Ozymandias will always be remembered as the best Breaking Bad episode and perhaps the best TV-show episode ever.
