Three ghosts and a time machine. The ending of Better Call Saul didn't go sci-fi on us but it does need some explanation. From that desperate escape to the last cigarette, here's everything you need to know. Warning: spoilers ahead.
spankywzl: Jimmy wanted to get caught. He saw the signs, took note and ignored them. The second he decided to roll the cancer patient, it became clear. Jimmy had to prove to himself that this is a fair and just world, where bad people are punished. It is why many become lawyers in the first place. Jimmy had to show the system how deeply flawed it was. He illustrated that his sentence could be whittled down to a meager 7 years, then as if to give the justice system the finger for not going at him hard enough, he tanked the deal and took it on the chin for a sentence he felt was more commensurate with the severity of his crimes. He lost his freedom but gained his dignity and a certain reputation in the yard. He now knows who he is and is at peace with it. Date: 2022-08-20
