    I like to think that when Marion said "i trusted you", Gene remembered the time where he used to be a lawyer that actually stood up for the elderly and has now come to a point of threatening them. Realizing how far he's gone of the rails and just snapped out of it.

      I believe the black and white filter used for the gene timeline is to show how boring and mundane his current life is and that he’s dead inside. The only time gene ever sees colour is when he is watching his past life as Saul goodman, the colour is used to represent him feeling alive. I believe that this is why the last episode is in full colour because jimmys cover as “gene” is now blown and he’s now truly on the run as Saul goodman - and he won’t feel much more alive then that

      True, but then again it's better to ignore all awards as those are political BS. Stanley Kubrick is the best director of all times (especially if you ask from directors) and he got no Oscars. David Lynch has done just amazing things, and he has been snubbed. Now they have insane rules that you need to have representation etc. to even get nominated.
      Awards are BS, but so many people in BCS should win. I think Bob Odenkirk is highly underappreciated. I think his acting has been amazing. His role requires so subtle things that he manages perfectly IMHO

    That "Have a nice life Kim!" was eerily similar to Chuck's "You never mattered all that much to me".
    You can also see the divergent way that Kim and Jimmy dealt with themselves after they separated. Jimmy filled his life with color, taking the world by the balls, living large and fully embracing his Saul persona. Kim on the other hand lives in obscurity, committed herself to suburban purgatory and mind numbing work in a sprinkler company, she doesn't make decisions and stays irresolute even to the small decision of choosing an ice cream flavor.

Chuck is of course lying as well, saying that Jimmy doesn’t matter to him, when his actions throughout the show and after this show the opposite. I really hope we get one final Chuck flashback. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Chuck has been sparsely mentioned in the last 2 seasons, I think it represents how Jimmy is repressing all his emotions and guilt towards his brother.

    The two cops talking about the fish sandwich where one of them says something along the lines of "we're a thousand miles from the nearest ocean and you want to eat seafood." It's a callback to a certain other cop in Breaking Bad having fun at his wife's expense.
    "Two-day drive from the nearest ocean and you're eating raw fish. That's all I'm saying. Been awhile since that minnow's been swimming."

    if you were to tell me 8 years ago that the goofy lawyer Saul Goodman would scare the crap out of me like he did at the end of this episode, I would have laughed in your face.

This universe of BB and BCS never ceases to amaze me. Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould are amazing writers along with their team. I just want to praise them. And Bob and Reah deserve nominations at the least. Reah should win that dam Emmy. 👏

    Why would he see Kim?? It was her who betrayed their trust, she pushed the scam and didn’t tell him Lalo was alive, then Jimmy sacrifices his life for her and she breaks up with him, leaving him empty and alone. So why would he see Kim when Marion says “I trusted you”? I think it was a reality check for him, seeing how far he’s gone, he remembered when he was just “Jimmy McGill, a lawyer you can trust”

    #2. In Saul's first scene in Breaking Bad, he confuses Badger's case with one involving public urination. Marion says that Jeff was in trouble for public urination.
    #3. Kim singing happy birthday is a callback to season 5 when the nursing home made Hector sing happy birthday.
    #4. In Jesse's scene the left of the screen is in black and white, as this is the moment all of the color washed away out of Kim's life, she runs out into the rain.

    I've come to a different interpretation of the B&W sequences: they represent Jimmy and Kim being in their own personal prisons as the consequences of their actions. I believe now that Kim has confessed to everything, and gone to Cheryl she is finally accepting her responsibility and finding her way out of the prison that she has been in for six years. Jimmy, on the other hand, had only been in his prison for a year, and hasn't found a way out and I find it unlikely that he will.

      I mean is painfully obvious she went to the courthouse and to Howard’s wife to spill the beans on absolutely everything she knows about Saul Goodman. She never wants to be with him romantically ever again and she wants him to turn himself in so he can stay alive. He doesn’t want to so she takes it upon herself to do it for him even if it incriminates her as an accomplice and she also goes to prison. She doesn’t care anymore she wants it to be over for him and her.
