"Better Call Saul" has officially concluded its seven-year run, and the Season 6 finale "Saul Gone" ends with Jimmy McGill facing 86 years in federal prison. Throughout its run, "Better Call Saul" has earned praise from critics, such as those at GQ, who have called it a much more intricate, detailed series than its predecessor, "Breaking Bad." Whereas "Breaking Bad" involved high-stakes action, criminal confrontations, and drug manufacturing, "Better Call Saul" thrived on legal procedures, con jobs, and the relatively mundane lives of its central characters.
As a result, many viewers are likely walking away from "Better Call Saul" with some unanswered questions about some of the show's most significant plot points. Often, the decisions made by characters in "Better Call Saul" are not spelled out plainly for the audience at home, but that doesn't mean their motives are baseless or without reason. This is further exemplified by the exceptional use of visual storytelling in "Better Call Saul," which often replaces dialogue or action showing a story movement with imagery, symbolism, and long, dialogue-free sequences.
Here are some of the most confusing events from the series that may inspire questions from viewers even after "Better Call Saul" rounded the bases in Season 6. Some characters' fates are up in the air, while other momentous decisions in the show may draw confusion from invested viewers. Worry not, however, as the writers of "Better Call Saul" have thought of everything — even if it might not be clear as day.
