Is this the moment Saul should return to with his time machine?

Follow Us on Social:

Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

"There Is No Shame In Changing Your Path" | Saul Gone | Better Call Saul

From my point of view, Chuck was the most important character in Jimmy's journey. It was great to see him again in the finale

[erenjaeger]

When you think about it, the events of the entire Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad universe wouldn’t exist if these two brothers learned to be open with each other.

[tacitus]

"If you don't like where you're heading, there's no shame in changing your path."
Good advice for anybody.

[HeisenbergTheFirst]

Chuck was such a well written character, I'm glad the last we see of him isn't when he burns the house down.

[rhyswong]

I love that Chuck walked away with the oil lantern, seemingly and literally into the darkness. So fitting.

[shashankgpt]

Best example of 'Show not tell'. We know exactly where Jimmy would have gone to in the time machine.

[Sidharth_V_Jain]

Near the end, Jimmy tells Chuck that he might bring the Financial Times the next day, and in the very first episode Uno, Jimmy gets Chuck the Financial Times, this probably means that this scene takes place right before the start of the series

"That's not what I had in mind"

With his voice cracking a little really tells me that Chuck actually just wanted to have a normal heart to heart conversation with his brother this time around.
The work stuff was obviously just an excuse cause it's the only language Chuck knows how to speak. 😔

So yeah, this was for sure Jimmys time machine-moment . Actually crying re-watching this😢😢😢

Mike: Wanted to change his past so he can never be dirty.

Walt: Wanted to change his past so he can be rich and successful.

Jimmy: Wanted to change his past so he can mend his broken relationship with his brother.

[pewdiepiesubbot]

I feel like it’s easy to see Chuck as always working against his brother and never supporting him, but here it seems like he’s genuinely trying to reach out to him. Chuck never believed Jimmy could change because in moments like these Jimmy does the same thing, and they always end up having “the same conversation.”

[jcs]

It's interesting how Chuck's words here echo an earlier scene with Mike. Mike said that the choices you make will "put you on a road", and that you simply have to accept things as they are and go with the flow. Chuck is saying the opposite, he says that there's no shame in changing your path. Mike was an absolute fatalist, a man who followed orders no matter how terrible because he thought anything else would be shameful, but Chuck's philosophy tells us that Mike was wrong. Admitting your mistakes and working to fix them is the right thing to do, you can't just keep barreling down that Bad Choice Road out of pride. 
Or you'll end up like Saul.

This scene had more cheers than Walt's cameo.

[delfin]

I’m so happy Michael McKean made one last appearance in this show, his performance of Chuck is incredibly electrifying and it’s a damn shame he didn’t win an Emmy.

[fearlessnhan]

2:47 so ironic - "when have you ever changed your [chuck's] past?" Chuck was doing it right there. To actually show some love and affection after realising how much Jimmy cared that Jimmy did this daily chore.

[Sincerelyspark]

I think the most tragic thing about this show is that we all know where Jimmy ends up. since he never mentioned Kim in breaking bad, it was likely she would either leave, or take a trip to Belize. However, even with that in mind, the show still set up such a valuable and amazing relationship between Jimmy and Kim. One that made it so much more heartbreaking to see fall apart.

[dip]

The fact that Ernesto had to be reminded to bring the Fuji apples when Jimmy knew he had to bring them for Chuck. Really shows how good of a brother he was.

[Alex-jllr]

I was pleasantly surprised by Chuck's appearance. Saul finally chose to return to Jimmy, not only to be himself, but also to protect Kim.
Perfect storyline!!

[Schrodinger_]

This was Jimmy's time travel moment. Chuck handed him an olive branch here, a chance to talk through his cases and get guidance. Instead he slapped that hand down, and Chuck reverted back to chastising him. If Jimmy had only obliged, everything would have been different.

[IncredibleTheBob]

“We always end up having the same conversation, don’t we?”
While this line is clearly pointing out the cyclical nature of Chuck and Jimmys relationship, I like to think that this is also a conversation that echoes in Jimmys mind every night. It almost seems like Chucks ghost coming back in Jimmys nightmares, fueled by the regret of letting this moment slip between their fingers.

[baconkraken]

Chuck's face when Jimmy says "you'd do the same for me" is great because you know Chuck would just hire someone to help Jimmy, the only reason he'd go through all the effort of helping would be to show his superiority over him.
