This video has blown up over the past few weeks, and it has been long overdue for a follow-up and addendums post. First, I would like to thank everyone here for watching this video; and helping it become as big as it is. I didn't think this video would manage to become so viewed, since my previous videos on Better Call Saul didn't do as well as my other content. Reading your responses to this video makes me happy to see that most of the reactions to this video have been positive. I'm very grateful to the people that have subscribed to my channel since this video's release. As many of you know, I don't post very often, and that is mainly because of the sheer amount of big projects I have been working on these past few months. Namely a video on Stranger Things S4, that will be out later this year. A video on my analysis of the entirety of Breaking Bad, which should be out later this month. A video on my favourite TV episode, and my favourite movie of all time. I don't know when these videos will be out, but my guess will be in a month at the minimum. My Better Call Saul S6 video, which will be split into two parts mainly focusing on 6A and 6B. And finally, a video essay on The Last of Us 2, which has been delayed indefinitely because of its length. As you can tell, I have lots to do, and will be working hard to get it out to you as soon as possible!

Now for the addendum's section:

Recently, I have noticed a lot of people saying that I forgot to include the part where Kim does the finger guns back to Jimmy; just in a more subtle way. Immediately after posting the video, I did notice that detail; but chose not to do much about it. My reasoning for this like I said in the video, I am working on a Better Call Saul S6 analysis, where everything will be covered there. This video was not supposed to be a thematic analysis, and more of a video talking about my love for this episode, and more or less analyzing what happens in this episode, and occasionally giving my take on it.

There were a couple of comments talking about the scene where Walter was looking at the watch actually symbolizing his regret for what he did to Jesse, not his regret for teaming up with him and cooking meth in the first place. This is correct, and an oversight on my part. While in theory, my analysis was close to being correct, I did jump the shark in assuming something a bit different.

A couple of comments have also been accusing me of oversimplifying some details, and not paying close enough attention to the video. I would again, like to remind those people, that this is not a thematic analysis of Saul Gone, and more of a video pointing out my enjoyment of said episode. There will be a thematic analysis for this episode, and every episode of S6, but that won't be for a few months from now. So I would advise for your utmost patience.

For now, that's all I wanted to say. Once again, I extend a huge thank you to everyone for watching this video, and if anybody else notes any mistakes that I made; let me know and I’ll add them to this comment for future reference.


Thanks!

its saul over now, but overall i think it was goodman

breaking bad is a story about how easy it is to change for the worse

better call saul is about how difficult it is to change for the better

“Walt goes on like a Redditor.” 😂

I love how each of our 3 protagonists got a perfect ending imo. Jimmy = jail/accountability, Walt = death/peace, Jesse = freedom/forgiveness.

The shot of Kim watching Jimmy slowly disappear out of frame… It’s like having to say goodbye to an old friend when you don’t want to. The viewers’ old friend being the whole BB universe.

kim curled her hair again, amazing detail!

I like to perceive the bread scene as emblematic that his time as Gene was a prison to him

I think Jimmy wanted Bill there just to do the paperwork for him lmao, trust experience, trust Oakley.

I think Walt regretted his treatment of Jesse in that scene, not teaming up with him.

I like the dichotomy between sauls answer to the time machine and Walters. It’s clear they’re both similar, but also lying at the same time.

I don't think he regretting working with Jesse. Walt is too proud to ever regret becoming Heisenberg. What he regrets is giving Jesse up, which is why he returns in the final episode. To save him. The same way Jimmy returns to save Kim.

Felina always leaves me emotional because it's sad but in a fulfilling and cathartic way. Saul Gone always leaves me emotional because it's sad but in an empty and somber way. Felina leaves me with a feeling of "I can't believe this actually happened!" Saul Gone leaves me with a feeling of "Damn... This is really it..." Felina hits hard. But Saul Gone hits harder, because it hits softer.

Never before has a show emotionally destroyed me like this. The way it made me feel is hard to describe. The longing, despair, nostalgia, knowing it's all over. Not just their relationship, or the good times, or the crime spree, but the universe of Breaking Bad itself. It was truly the end of an era.

I view the "Better Call Saul!" scene not as a final slip of Jimmy's ego into the surface, but as Jimmy finding some solace in the fact that he made his mark upon the world - though I think
he had also come to terms with the darkness/wrongness of the path he'd taken

At the beginning I'm rooting for Jimmy and stomping my feet for Saul to arrived, by the end I'm fed up with Saul and rooting for Howard

And yeah, despite a couple things, it was one of the few shows, that had MASSIVE expectations, and basically lived up to it. I mean you're never going to literally make everybody happy but this was about as close as I think any show could ever do as far as living up to very tough expectations

I love when other people talk about how emotional the finale was.  I cried a whole lot. It was beautiful.

I couldn;t agree more with your opinion on the Chuck scene. it was absolutely vital, in my opinion, that Chuck showed up in this episode. He's arguably the most single important person in Jimmy/Saul's life outside of maybe only Kim.

One thing you missed, Kim did give a more muted version of the Finger Guns.

Pay attention to her hands before the guard lets her out of the prison

If Jimmy went back to that moment with Chuck and "changed his path", not only would Jimmy not be behind bars in the end, but Walter White never would have gone as far down his path either. That one moment changed so much for so many lives... if only Jimmy had chosen to take time with his brother. Which is an incredibly amazing way to tie the story up imo.

Someone pointed out that Jimmy proved Chuck right and wrong at the same time.

Chuck was proven wrong by Jimmy changing here admitting that he would never change.

“We always end up having the same conversation every time don’t we?” Is the saddest line of the series to me
