I'm glad he got 86 years

Removed - spoiler in title

I just finished the show. First of all, it is phenomenal. From the very beginning, I was impressed with the cinematography. And everything else is also great, the writing, the structure, the parallel shots, the story, the acting and dialogue, and the way things are revealed to the viewer.

The primary thing I wanted to say, however, is that I am glad and satisfied with the ending. When I first heard about it, I asked myself "why would he do that? 7 to 86?" And I also got the impression that many fans felt the same way. However, my feelings have changed after actually seeing it.

As he says, Jimmy really does come out on top. Everything is wrapped up, he does the right thing, but he does it just like Saul Goodman, or, rather, slipping jimmy would. God, He played Oakley; he wasted the time of the Government representation, put on a show in his best suit, bragged a little but owned up to his crimes, was finally honest, got Kim there by lying just show she could see him owning up to what he did. It all comes together so well, oh, and the scene of Brian Cranston saying "so, you were always like this" is just so true. He is like that, always was Slipping Jimmy. Chuck was right all along.

He's a conman, and his degeneration is just shown so well after the time jump. His hair, the hookers, the house, the time machine talks, the greed all showed it. But, what really, really put Jimmy on full display is what he almost did as Gene. Nothing happened, and yet I was on edge. He almost bludgeoned an unconscious man with cancer with the vase that contained the ashes of that man's dead dog, after conning him, breaking into his house and stealing his belongings! On top of that, his dealings with Marion, just despicable.

He did the right thing in the end and did it his way and I'm glad about how it ended. He became scum, true, vile scum.
