Better Call Saul Finale is Perfect: The Architecture of Regret
What’s a show that had the perfect series finale? In the quiet, monochromatic twilight of the Better Call Saul finale, there is a single, defiant flicker of color that demands our attention. As Jimmy McGill and Kim Wexler lean against a cold prison wall, sharing a cigarette, the flame of the lighter and the tip of the tobacco glow with a subtle, warm orange. This moment is more than a visual…
“Let me tell you something. The job offer, it didn’t upset me. It amused me. Big job at the illustrious HHM. A chance to play at the palace. Little old me?”
“I was trying--“
“You have no idea what’s going on. You’re a teensy, tiny man in a teensy-weensy, little bubble.”
“Oh, Jimmy.”
“Oh, don’t you fucking “Oh, Jimmy” me. You look down on me? You pity me? Walk away. That’s right, Howard. You know why I didn’t take the job? Because it’s too SMALL! I DON’T CARE ABOUT IT! IT’S NOTHING TO ME! IT’S A BACTERIUM! I TRAVEL IN WORLDS YOU CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE! YOU CAN’T CONCEIVE OF WHAT I’M CAPABLE OF! I’M SO FAR BEYOND YOU! I’M LIKE A GOD IN HUMAN CLOTHING! LIGHTNING BOLTS SHOOT FROM MY FINGERTIPS!”
(It’s funny because on the next episode he’s totally lost and drinking his own piss. 😁 )
Better Call Saul
- Déjame decirte una cosa. La propuesta de trabajo no me molestó. Me divirtió. El gran trabajo en la ilustre HHM. Una oportunidad de tocar en el palacio para el pequeño de mí.
- Solo estaba...
- Tú no tienes idea de lo que está pasando. Eres un hombre pequeñito en una pequeña burbuja.
- Oh, Jimmy.
- Ah, a mí no me vengas con “Oh, Jimmy”. ¿Te crees superior a mí? ¿Me tienes lástima? Vete. Eso, Howard. ¿Sabes por qué no acepté el trabajo? ¡Porque es muy PEQUEÑO! ¡NO ME INTERESA! ¡NO ES NADA PARA MÍ! ¡ES COMO UNA BACTERIA! ¡YO ME MUEVO EN MUNDOS QUE TÚ NO PUEDES NI IMAGINAR! ¡NO TIENES NI IDEA DE LO QUE SOY CAPAZ! ¡ESTOY MUY POR DELANTE DE TI! ¡SOY COMO UN DIOS VESTIDO DE HUMANO! ¡RAYOS SE DISPARAN DE MIS DEDOS!
(Es gracioso porque en el siguiente episodio está totalmente perdido y bebiendo su propia pis. 😁 )
Better Call Saul
I want to believe the writers understood that Mike Ermentrout's actual first mistake was joining the police force in the first place.
Don't become a cop, kids! And by 'kids' I mean my literal classmates.
Fun fact
Georgia O'Keeffe is mentioned in Breaking Bad, El Camino, Better Call Saul and Pluribus
“It’s like a soulless, radioactive, Georgia O’Keeffe hellscape out there” - Jimmy McGill
Ok rewatching S3E11 "Abquiu" through S4E1 "Boxcutter", I'm convinced that for whatever reason, Gus ordered the hit on Thomas. Given how he reacts to more negligible acts of insubordination, compared to how he UNDERREACTS to two of his dealers killing a child, I can only conclude that he got more pissed at Jesse than he did at the dealers who defied him because Thomas's death was part of the plan.
I mean either that, or the supposedly "calm, measured, super smart" crime boss just has erratic and inconsistent character motivations because otherwise the conflict in the plot would be over.
Most days, I sincerely feel no one understands Kim Wexler's madness like I do.
My mom thinks Breaking Bad isn't homoerotic. Who wants to be the first to write 8 properly cited paragraphs about why it is?
