I've started watching the last episodes of Better Call Saul - a little too early since I'm waiting for the last one now. I'm a fan of the way they organized it, but story-wise it has a good deal of major events.
Yes, it's the last season.Finished Better Call Saul, and re-watched the finale more than once. -p. The ending was darn near perfect, yet I suspect this is the end of the Jimmy/Saul universe, as it sure felt that way. Yet what a conclusion!
I think he knows full well it's the last season of Better Call Saul. Doesn't 100% mean it's the end of the "Gilligan-verse", though I expect it will/should be. (There's already people yammering about a Kim spinoff, because that's what people do)Yes, it's the last season.
Well at least he's among friends
Please no. Let's not turn this into TWD.I think he knows full well it's the last season of Better Call Saul. Doesn't 100% mean it's the end of the "Gilligan-verse", though I expect it will/should be. (There's already people yammering about a Kim spinoff, because that's what people do)
Season 6 was not my preferred one and I had mixed feelings about the 3 last episodes or so, maybe in part because I was apprehensive about this being the end of the series, but also because I wasn't fond of the back & forth of mixed past/present episodes, with a few past clues right before they are used to justify other things in the present. I still liked it overall, there were neat moments and of course the development of main characters continue to surprise.I think he knows full well it's the last season of Better Call Saul.

I didn't really like the second half of season 6 until the last two episodes, but they brought it home. I'm not sure if I like BCS more than BB... been too long since I've seen the former... but I do know that I found it far more interesting as a character study. Walt was a prick from beginning to end. Jimmy was a lot more complex.
I'm not sure about Kim, we see her a lot so it wouldn't feel like discovering a new character. I'm not sure I see who Bill is? I'm not too good with names.I'd be all in for a Kim, or even Bill follow-up to the series, but I distinctly got the feeling we were saying goodbye to all the players, threads, and elements of that entire universe in the past few episodes. I'd be ecstatic to be wrong, though!
And yeah, I despised Walt from the get-go, and was simply watching each episode praying he'd get his just desserts...and man, when you thought he couldn't get any worse, he found a way to do it!. For me, Better Call Saul was the superior show, one I look forward to re-watching in the future. BTW, that Walt cameo in the final episode....just damn. For Jimmy, I think Walt was simply a reincarnation of his brother, Charles. Two pricks from the same coin. -p
Yeah, that scene is amazing. It was like Bryan Cranston never stopped playing that character. Smart, prickly... vintage Walt. I enjoyed that scene a lot more than the one in the RV. (The Chuck scene was great too; those flashbacks were good reminders of how amazing the acting has been over this entire run)BTW, that Walt cameo in the final episode....just damn.
How's the woke-factor?I just finished watching the first episode of House of the Dragon.
It wasn't nearly as bad as I was anticipating it to be, but it probably helped that I had very low expectations. The production values seem to be roughly on par with GoT except for the dragons which I didn't find convincing at all.
The acting isn't bad either (so far), but the cast definitely seems like a step down compared to GoT. Overall, I liked it enough to want to keep watching it for now.
I was concerned about that going in, but it didn't seem overly present or forced in any significant way.How's the woke-factor?
