Saul Rewind: the Unofficial Better Call Saul Aftershow Jamie & Simon Wilson

Holy Guacamole it's the end of Better Call Saul and what an ending it was!  Serving up time-travel realness the finale meandered it's way past some of favourite characters before serving up an ending that leaves the story line open for future reinterpretation.  Tune in as Jamie and Simon chat our way through the episode!

From Wikipedia:
In separate flashbacks, Saul asks Mike and Walter about their regrets;  another flashback shows Chuck asking Jimmy whether he ever considered a  different path in life. In 2010, Gene is caught and arrested, enlisting  former rival Bill Oakley as his co-counsel and negotiating a deal for  only seven years in prison, claiming to be a victim of Walt's schemes.  He also offers to confess to Howard's death, only to learn that Kim has  already done so. Saul is extradited to Albuquerque for his trial and  lies about new testimony involving Kim to get her to appear in court. He  then admits his full involvement in Walt's empire and Chuck's suicide,  and reverts to using the name James McGill; he is given an 86-year  sentence. Jimmy is recognized as Saul in prison and enjoys notoriety  among his fellow inmates. Kim visits him and the two share a cigarette.  As she leaves, Jimmy makes his signature finger-gun gesture at her.

Join Jamie and Simon as they unpick the penultimate episode of Better Call Saul - Waterworks.  This week we were delighted to welcome back Kim who spills her guts to the DA and give Cheryl the lowdown on Howards murder before we pick up with Jimmy in Omagah as he gets up to a bit of gold of fashioned burglarizing!

From Wikipeida:

In a flashback, Kim meets with Saul to finalize their divorce and has an  encounter with Jesse outside his office. In 2010, she gets a call from  Gene in Florida at her sprinkler manufacturer job, where she asks him to  turn himself in and hangs up when he refuses. Guilt-stricken, she  travels to Albuquerque and gives Cheryl a written confession explaining  her and Jimmy's destruction of his image and the circumstances of his  death, having an emotional breakdown on the bus after leaving. Gene  narrowly escapes the cancer-stricken man's house after he wakes up. Jeff  is arrested and blamed for the burglary after he panics and runs into  another car when a police car idles behind him, forcing Gene to enlist  Marion to help him get out on bail. Suspicious, Marion uses the new  computer Jeff bought her with the department store money to search for  Gene's true identity on Ask Jeeves, and calls the authorities with her Life Alert button when Gene tries to intimidate her, forcing him to flee.

Join Jamie & Simon as they rewind Better Call Saul season 6 episode 11 - Breaking Bad and what a treat it was featuring the much speculated return of Jesse and Walt.


This week we had a visual treat as we jumped back and fourth between the Gene Takovitch universe and the Better Call Saul timeline with some of our favourite characters including the return of Franchescha and Mike.


From Wikkipedia:

In flashbacks to 2008 in Albuquerque, Saul takes on Walter White and Jesse Pinkman as clients, deducing the former to be "Heisenberg" – the chemist behind the high-purity blue methamphetamine being sold on the streets. Mike informs Saul that Walt has terminal  lung cancer and cautions Saul against helping him, but Saul nevertheless  decides to visit Walt at the high school where he teaches to offer his  assistance in growing Walt's business. In 2010, Gene calls Francesca,  who tells him that the FBI has seized most of Saul's assets, and that  Kim once called asking about Jimmy. Gene attempts to reach Kim in  Florida, but the call emotionally upsets him for unknown reasons. Gene  then enlists Jeff and Buddy for a new con in which Gene gets their mark  drunk, Jeff drives them home while giving them water laced with barbiturates,  and Buddy enters the home to photograph the unconscious mark's IDs,  credit cards, and financial records to sell for profit. After a string  of successful cons, their latest target reveals he has cancer, causing  Buddy to back out; Gene cuts him out of the operation and forces Jeff to  drive him to the man's home, where he breaks in.

From Wikipedia:

In a flashforward to 2010, in Omaha, Jimmy, under the guise of Gene  Takavic, befriends Marion, the mother of Jeff, the cab driver who  recognized him as Saul Goodman. Gene confronts Jeff and offers to let  him in "the game". The two collaborate with a friend of Jeff's to run a  scheme where they will burgle a department store in the Omaha mall where  Gene works. 

Gene does his part by befriending and distracting the  security guards with Cinnabons and small talk about Nebraska Cornhuskers football while Jeff steals expensive merchandise under a strict time limit. When  Jeff trips on a slippery floor, Gene gains him extra time to recover by  telling a sob story (a true one, albeit lacking personal details) about  his loneliness to cover for him. The three get away with thousands of  dollars in stolen goods. However, upon completion of the task, Gene  tells Jeff to keep his distance from him in the future, and threatens to  turn him and his friend in to the authorities for various crimes if he  fails to do so, even if it means getting caught himself. Energized by  the con's success, Gene wistfully finds a Saul Goodman-style dress shirt  in the department store but leaves without purchasing it.

Let us stare into the holy fire together a little longer, and let us stair with a grin. Join Jamie and Simon as they chat through the aftermath in this brand-new perfect day. Is Kim guilty, scared or two-thirds of each? Was the big break-up a big let-down? Are we ready to cross-stitch into the record-breaking world of Breaking Bad? Can I possibly USE any more hyphenated words?!

From Wikipedia:

Lalo provides Jimmy with an address to Gus's house and instructs Jimmy to drive there and shoot him. Jimmy convinces Lalo to send Kim, after which Lalo ties Jimmy to a chair and leaves. Kim is apprehended at Gus' front door by Mike, to whom she explains the situation with Lalo. She points out Gus' body double as matching the description Lalo provided, and Mike orders his men to Jimmy and Kim's apartment. When Kim says Lalo agreed to her switching places with Jimmy, Gus realizes the shooting attempt is a diversion and drives to Lavandería Brillante. Lalo is there obtaining evidence for Eladio of Gus' planned meth lab and ambushes Gus and kills his bodyguards. Gus shows Lalo the lab, then triggers a power outage. In the darkness, he reaches the handgun he hid previously and fires several shots at Lalo. After turning the lights on, he finds that Lalo wounded him, but Lalo is fatally wounded. Mike and his men remove Howard's body from Jimmy and Kim's apartment and Mike explains that Howard's death will be made to look like a suicide. Mike supervises the burying of Howard and Lalo in the floor of the lab.
