THERE’S A MOMENT in the second episode of the final season of Better Call Saul when Mike Ehrmantraut, the grizzled fixer played so beautifully by Jonathan Banks across both this show and its progenitor, Breaking Bad, says, “Whatever happens next, it’s not gonna go down the way you think.” Understatement of the century. Because the final season of Better Call Saul ripped up the rulebook. Major characters died sooner than convention dictates (farewell, Nacho. Goodbye, Howard Hamlin). The main timeline was wrapped up with four episodes to go, at which point it zoomed into the future to conclude the sad-sack, black-and-white story of Jimmy McGill, aka Saul Goodman, aka Gene Takovic. In the end, we got to see Bob Odenkirk strut his stuff as full-blown Saul for around five minutes, following a time-jump every bit as audacious as the bone/spaceship interface at the start of 2001: A Space Odyssey. And it ended on a wonderfully low-key note as Jimmy, now in prison, reconnected with his soul and his soulmate, Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn), wordlessly sharing a cigarette as they had done in the first episode. Here, Empire catches up with Odenkirk, Seehorn, plus co-creators Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan, about bringing one of the greatest television shows of all time to a close.
