Now that Better Call Saul has finally come to an end and might be the very last of the Breaking Bad universe, a lot has come to light about the show's development, including that the series had an alternate ending. However, a different ending would have been much worse than what fans got in the finale, as neither Saul nor Kim would have gotten any closure.

But for as almost-perfect as the show is, Better Call Saul still has its low moments, and some scenes almost ruin fans' love for the series. These moments can even be found in some of the very best episodes. Between an off-the-cuff boxing match, annoying one-off characters, and an impromptu musical moment, even the best show on TV has its shortcomings.

The Boxing Scene

Season 6 - Better Call Saul's final season - was almost flawless, and each episode featured Jimmy and Kim's schemes that lead to the epic mid-season cliffhanger. But one scene that stood out to many, including Due_Love7879, was the boxing scene between Jimmy and Howard.

The Redditor argues, "I gave it a chance and waited several episodes to make up my mind, but I gotta say the Howard/Jimmy boxing scene is kinda weak, didn’t do it for me." It was a weird choice on Howard's part to challenge Jimmy to a boxing match and felt a little out of character for both of them. The show always had a sense of humor, but this sequence required a little too much suspension of disbelief.

The 50% Off Guys

Sticky and Ron in Better Call Saul

Mindless_Shebert notes, "I could have done without the 50% off guys." The Redditor is referring to Sticky and Ron, two drug addicts that take advantage of Saul Goodman's 50% off services he offers when he sets up his new law firm. The two characters are complete idiots, even when they're busted by the police, and they deliver one of the most eye-rolling one-liners in the series, as they say, "50% off, that's almost half price."

The characters are almost like a discount Badger and Skinny Pete, and it would have been much better if Badger and Pete appeared instead of Sticky and Ron. Fans were waiting for these Breaking Bad characters to show up in the prequel, but it never happened, and this could have been a perfect way to bring them in.

The Origin Of Hector's Bell

Umnothing thinks the origin of Hector's bell ruined what was a great episode, noting, "The scene where Lalo gives Hector the bell and delivers a monologue about the origin of the bell, all felt really schmaltzy and forced and kind of ruined the whole storyline of Hector's illness." One of the worst tropes when it comes to prequels, whether it's a TV show or bell, is when it pointlessly explains the origin of a character's name or their signature weapon.

One of the biggest examples is how Han got his last name in Solo: A Star Wars Story, which was a question nobody was asking. The concept is ridiculous, as not everything has to have an epic origin. Better Call Saul had always managed to avoid clichés like that until Lalo explained the history of Hector's iconic bell, which was, once again, a question nobody was asking.

Mike And Manuel's Final Meeting

Even the most moral characters in Better Call Saul have some sort of shady criminal history, but Manuel, Nacho's father, might be the only character in the entire series that is completely wholesome. He always had a troubled relationship with Nacho because of his work with the cartel. And when Mike delivers the news to Manuel that Nacho had been killed, he couldn't have cared less.

VanJurkow thinks the scene is ridiculous and that there's no way Manuel wouldn't have wanted more information. The Redditor explains, "I really think the scene of Mike and Manuel Varga in 'Fun and Games' was really not good... No father on earth would react the way Manuel reacted, he would’ve climbed the fence to interrogate Mike about what happened to his son." However, it is still in character, and it's fascinating in the way it's such a stark contrast to the way Mike handled the death of his son.

The Mall Heist

Better Call Saul became such an entertaining crime caper in "Nippy," one of the final episodes in the series, as the whole 50 minutes saw Gene and Jeff setting up and pulling off a heist in the mall where Gene works. It harkened back to some of the best episodes of Breaking Bad, such as the epic train heist in "Dead Freight."

Los_Wieslos takes issue with a specific part of the heist. The Redditor had a problem with "Gene saying 'aaaahhhh' or 'ooooohhhh' or doing any noise while staring at the security monitors to prevent the security guard from looking and keep his attention to himself." In fairness, while the whole sequence is great, Gene isn't very conspicuous in it. But at the same time, the whole episode set up how oblivious Frank the security guard was when eating Cinnabon, and it's what made Frank the best new character of season 6.

Lalo Defying Physics

Better Call Saul - Lalo and Nacho

Lalo is the best villain in the Breaking Bad universe, and it's like all of his stats have been bumped up to 11, as he's amazing when it comes to stealth, combat, intelligence, and a million other things. He's like the final boss in a video game, but that's also why Hugo_Two thinks one particular scene ruins the show. The Redditor notes, "The way that Lalo jumps onto the car, it looks so cartoonish."

When Lalo finds Jimmy's car in the desert, he jumps fifteen feet onto it, almost with a superhero landing, too. While free runners have been doing parkour for decades, this scene is completely ridiculous, as he isn't landing on a level surface but an upturned car. And he could have simply walked a couple of minutes and gotten down there without the theatrics.

The Prison Bus

RevolutionaryFile989 hates the prison bus scene in the finale, noting, "The scene with all the inmates chanting Better Caul Saul (to a beat) on the way to the prison reminded me of the musical episode of Grey’s Anatomy. Worst scene in the finale for sure." While some fans loved the bus scene in Better Call Saul, it stands out like a sore thumb in the finale.

The very final episode of Better Call Saul and seemingly the end of the Breaking Bad saga ended completely naturally and the only way it could - with Jimmy going to prison for 86 years. While he'll be riding out his sentence up until his death, it's still bittersweet, as all the other convicts look up to him because he's Saul Goodman, the criminal lawyer. While the prison bus scene might have been a little cheesy, it's the scene that lets viewers know that Saul Goodman has become a legend and that Jimmy is going to be just fine in jail.

The Copy Shop Interview

In "Alpine Shepherd Dog," Jimmy has an interview at a copy shop, which he expectedly nails, and is offered the job on the spot. But Jimmy then throws their job offer in the employer's faces, which ULS980 thinks is one of the worst scenes in the series. The Redditor posits, "The only scene I really cringe at is the one where Jimmy applies to the copy shop and then tears into them for not doing a background check. Dunno why, but it's the only scene I'd consider skipping."

While it's unclear where the episode is heading during the interview, it's a classic Better Call Saul setup for one of Jimmy's ridiculous schemes. The criminal lawyer plans to rob an ornament on the copy shop's shelf that the bosses don't know is worth thousands. And it also leads to a great cameo, as Ira, the soon-to-be proprietor of Vamonos Pest, steals the ornament for Jimmy.

Nacho's Face Off With The Salamancas

Nacho gets the short end of the stick in season 6, and the writing was on the wall about how it was going to end for him from the very beginning. And while many think Nacho shouldn't have been killed off, others would have changed the character's previous scenes, too. Yaniv297 refers to when the on-the-run former gangster bumps into the Terminator-like Salamanca twins. The Redditor argues "Personally, I kinda hated the Nacho driving into the cousins scene in S6E2."

The beginning of season 6 needed to portray to audiences how rough of a ride Nacho was having, and a shoot-out with the Salamancas was a perfect way to do that. However, some viewers might understandably be fatigued by the cousins, as they only ever show up for shoot-outs where everyone seemingly survives.

Fred's Murder

Better Call Saul Fred Whalen Lalo Salamanca

HenryTDG thinks the scene where Fred Whalen, a TravelWire employee, is murdered by Lalo is the worst of the series. The Redditor claims, "It's just so out of realism I can’t take it. It's unbelievably goofy, more so than Gus’ death, more so than anything. It's just so terrible I wish they would just take it out of the show and cut it as soon as Fred goes to the phone."

This is another instance of Lalo having video-game-character-like superhuman abilities, and the way he jumps through the roof is like something out of Metal Gear Solid. But while the Redditor refers to when Lalo falls from the ceiling, the most ridiculous part is when he manages to silently jump up into the ceiling when Fred looks away for just a few short seconds.
