Better Call Saul has come to an end after seven years, and it completely subverted expectations, as it was a modest and quiet ending when fans thought it'd be an epic conclusion to a 14-year saga. But that's why it worked so well, and, against all odds, the show managed to deliver a just as perfect ending as its predecessor, Breaking Bad.

But as it has only been over for a few days, fans are still gathering their thoughts together, and not everyone is on board with the finale. Between criticizing the only way it could have ended, being disappointed at the lack of cameos, and feeling that certain choices were out of character, a pocket of fans was let down.

No Kuby

Bill Burr as Patrick Kuby in Breaking Bad

Patrick Kuby (Bill Burr) was a fan favorite character in Breaking Bad, and as he was one half of Saul's "A-Team," many people were expecting him to show up in the series finale. This user is especially annoyed that the character didn't show up in the last episode. In fairness, of all the Breaking Bad characters who never appeared in the show, Kuby is the one who's the hardest to overlook.

However, while it is a slight disappointment that he was never featured throughout Better Call Saul, to have him show up in the series finale would have been totally out of place. The character's humor and personality wouldn't have fit in with the grueling tone of the final episode. Burr did plan to return to the universe in season 5 of the show but unfortunately had to back out after a death in the family.

Not knowing What Happened With Lyle

There were loads of great characters peppered throughout Better Call Saul's final season, whether it's the stubborn Marion or her dumb criminal son, Jeff. But one of the unsung heroes of the series is Lyle, who was drug lord Gustavo Fring's right-hand man, at least in the Los Pollos Hermanos kitchen, that is.

The character was terrified that he might not have cleaned the kitchen properly, but little did he know how easy he had it. Nevertheless, TheUnknown98 thinks there should have been some time spent on the fast food chain manager in the finale. The Redditor argues, "I think we can all agree that the biggest disappointment of the finale was not knowing what happened with Lyle. Those consecutive open and close shifts must’ve changed him." Though Lyle doesn't show up in Breaking Bad, the Redditor is one of the few who are worried about him.

There Shouldn't Have Been A Walt Flashback

Even though Walter White died in "Felina," the final Breaking Bad episode, fans have still seen a lot of him in the 10 years since then. Whether it's in the spin-off movie El Camino or in the Better Call Saul episode literally titled "Breaking Bad," there's been enough Walt to satisfy any fan, but Yuazanex thinks there has been too much.

Once again, there's a Walt flashback in the final BCS episode, and the Redditor argues, "Some Walt fan service really isn’t needed." But it was fun to see that side of Walt again, as he's the hardened and fastidious Heisenberg who is literally getting angry at a hypothetical question about time travel. Some think Jesse and Kim's scene was forced too, and while both sequences are there mostly to serve fans, they totally achieved what they set out to do.

The Ending Was Cheap

DickThunders doesn't think the final episode's ending was all that smart compared to Breaking Bad's and that it was actually pretty cheap. The Redditor complains, "He just went to jail for life and that’s it, no ultimate goal was reached and no one was really affected besides Saul... probably the cheapest, fastest, and easiest way to just end the show."

However, ending characters' story arcs is something that Vince Gilligan and co. have been able to do so well. Even though both Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad set up intricate finales that left fans puzzled and theorizing over how they'd end, they both concluded naturally. Walt died, which, in hindsight, was the only way it could have ended, just as how Jimmy getting jail time was the only way his story could have ended.

Saul's Sentence Doesn't Make Sense

Where some Redditors think the show's conclusion was cheap, Chemical-Ad-5437 thinks it doesn't even make sense. The former criminal lawyer is given a huge 86-year sentence, and as he's in federal prison, there's no chance of him getting a parole hearing until he's completed 85% of that sentence.

The Redditor calls into question why the judgment is so unfair, commenting, "I never thought of Saul as a villain on par with Walter. Jimmy never killed anyone and money laundering is not the same as the other crimes committed on the show." While Saul had always acted within a moral gray area, he was indirectly involved in so many murders, including DEA agents, police officers, and innocent civilians. Even the very first time fans were introduced to him, he casually threw out the possibility of killing Badger.

Saul's Choices Were Out Of Character

Midway through the series finale, Jimmy spontaneously drops the act and confesses to everything. He throws away a cushy seven-year sentence in a nice prison for an 86-year sentence in a terrible one. Burnerbruneronenine argues, "I sort of hate that Jimmy prevailed and did the right thing for once. Just seems so out of character for Jimmy/Saul/Gene. I know that's why some love it, but it just seemed disingenuous to me on the first pass."

Everyone has a limit, and in Saul's shoes, it's amazing he kept up the jig as long as he could, but he was always going to give up eventually. He must have been completely exhausted, and the one person he cares about was leading a miserable life because of him. And even though the seven-year sentence sounds like a better option, Kim may have never spoken to him again, and that's a far worse prospect for Jimmy than any amount of jail time.There Should Have Been A Credits Song

There are tons of great needle drops in Breaking Bad, but the best one of all came as Walt died in the meth lab at the very end. As the end credits rolled, the song "Baby Blue" by Badfinger played, and it couldn't have been any more perfect, as the lyrics describe a man who gets what he deserves after falling in love with something blue.

There wasn't anything like that at the end of Better Call Saul, which greatly disappointed Friendly-Interest406. The Redditor comments, "Perhaps it was written to be that way, but still boring nonetheless. Plus, no credits song for the final credits? Come on, bro." But an ironic pop song wouldn't have fit with the tone of the finale, as the last scene was an ambiguously depressing conclusion to a Shakespearean-like tragedy.

The Fan Theories About The Ending Were Better Than The Actual Ending

Sugnoid didn't necessarily hate the series' ending, but they didn't think it was all that creative either. The Redditor posits, "It seems like fans came up with so many better theories about where the show could have gone, and instead they went with just about the most predictable path." Better Call Saul's fan theories were interesting, to say the least. They ranged from a Sliding Doors-type approach where Jimmy never meets Walter after making different decisions in his life to Jimmy and Howard becoming best friends.

However, those theories are out of character and even totally out of the ordinary, and if the show did have an ending that revealed an alternative reality, most fans would have undoubtedly been frustrated. However, it would have at least been in line with the trend of multiverses, as they're seemingly in every show and movie at the minute.

The Bus Scene Is Great

The series finale is generally considered a great conclusion to Jimmy's story that neatly wraps up the aftermath of Breaking Bad too. However, there's one scene that stands out like a sore thumb, and that's when Jimmy is recognized on the prison bus and everyone chants "Better call Saul!" It's excessively cheesy, but Krillin_irl defends the scene, commenting, "The Bus scene might be my favorite moment in the entire show. The fact that the prisoners don’t recognize him for his name, just his brand."

In fairness, though the sequence is completely unsubtle, and some would even call it infuriating, it still puts across a lot to the audience. For starters, Jimmy's half smile during the chant tells viewers that he hasn't completely lost everything and that Saul still has a legacy. And it also puts across that he'll be just fine in Jail and that the inmates will have his back.

Marie's Cameo Was Forced

Fans were speculating to no end over who would show up in the finale, and while there were some predictable appearances, such as Walter, nobody was expecting to see Marie. But Spideyv91 thought the cameo felt forced. The Redditor argues, "It was a nice cameo but I had a hard time correlating Saul as directly responsible for Hank and Gomez’s death so there was kind of a disconnect for me there."

A cameo would have been forced if it was Skyler or Walt Jr. or anyone else, as they would have had no reason to be there. Marie, on the other hand, is tied so closely to what's going on, as Hank and Steven's murders would have been what the DEA and other government agencies would have been concerned about the most. On top of that, the scene takes place only a few months after their deaths, so Marie had every reason to be there.
