    Are they still married in Breaking Bad? Im looking forward to seeing how he picks the dingy office he ended up in. Also curious to see how he will look after his problem in the present . I would love it if the final scene of the series was Walter walking into his office for the first time, and...cut.

    No mention of Kim or any wife in Breaking Bad, so what happens to Kim is completely up in the air. I doubt the final scene will be Walt walking into his office. It's something we've already seen and not that dramatic a moment. A nice throwback and maybe might be featured in the last episode, the last shot of Saul from the past or something. But I'd say it's more likely the final shot will be to do with present-day Gene

    The showrunners here aren't David Lynch so I expect they'll tie this up nicely. Breaking Bad ended well - that's why El Camino felt like an unnecessary epilogue. I expect that they'll move into the future and resolve Gene's story. Those flash-forwards have been at the start of every season so it'd be a fitting book-end to the series if it ends in that timeline.

    It won't bother me if we never get to see Walter White or Jesse in this. It would've detracted from it in the early seasons. Now the show is standing so well on its own two feet, with its own identity, it would be a bit of a cheap gag. I've enjoyed seeing other characters from BB showing up here but I can't see how Walt and Jesse would fit in.

    5.10: WOW! Absolute Scenes there with Lalo! Oh, there is gonna be a reckonin!

    Kim.. yeah.. now it looks like she's gonna dig herself into a bad hole and Jimmy will be stuck there watching it .. unable to stop it.. thinking he's somehow responsible for it.. Could she go overboard on Howard and he kills her.. could it be Lalo.. I dunno.

    Finally got around to finishing this. I'm kinda bored. Lalo is great. That's about it. Found myself checking out mentally whenever Kim and Saul are talking.

    Binged watched season 5 over the last three nights and it’s probably the strongest season for me, let down by an awful ending.

    I mean the ending was piss poor.

    Binged watched this lately. His brother dying was the best thing to happen to the show.

    He kicked the lantern and set himself on fire - episode called Lantern.



    Edit just realised you were referring to season 5 not 3 sorry.
    First thing that came to mind when another poster said crap ending.

    Season 5 ending:

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    You're not wrong, but I didn't let that bother me. Breaking Bad wasn't so different - both shows are meticulous in their presentation and planning, but both take fair liberties with conveniences for the sake of compelling TV.

    There are very, very few shows out there - including the absolute best going - that don't lean on improbabilities, cliches, tropes, remarkable repeat coincidences/instances of luck, etc, to drive the plot.

    As long as they're generally airtight outside of these acceptable but not too over-used narrative prods....fine by me.

    I really enjoyed Better Call Saul seasons 1 & 2 and was hoping to watch seasons 4 & 5 over Christmas. I've tried a few shops for the DVDs but had no luck. Does anyone have any ideas on where available. Thanks

    All seasons are on Netflix - you could probably get to watch it all during the free trial

    Sign up for a Revolut or N26 card, and use that with a different email to get a free month of Netflix as well as any other streaming service you want

    Surely if you were willing to buy a dvd, the months subscription would be same price & cancel before the month is up?

    So you're going to spend maybe €50+ on dvds rather a tenner for a months subscription? :confused:
