BetterCallSaul co-creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould on tonight’s finale and where the show is headed in its sixth and final season
, Saul Goodman initially describes his connection to Gus Fring as “I know a guy, who knows a guy, who… knows another guy.” And he seems oblivious that his investigator, Mike, is secretly working for Gus. Yet this season, Jimmy learns much more about Mike and/or the Fring organization than he apparently knew on the other show, and he and Mike seem more connected due to their tiGilligan argues that this isn’t an inconsistency, invoking Sgt. Schultz from the Sixties sitcom.
That said, there are still dots that need connecting in that relationship. Gould acknowledges that the desert episode left Jimmy and Mike with more of a bond than they seemed to have on: “If you remember, there were times when Mike threatened to break Saul Goodman’s legs, and he absolutely meant it. We’ll have to see how he gets there.”The co-creators famously don’t plan very far ahead with their storytelling.
But while writing Season Five, Gould says, “The fog started to clear slightly about where we were going with all of this. So we started to think about how this all relates to where we’re going. Having said that, I don’t want to say we’ve got it all figured out. I’m very happy to have Vince in the writers room this season, even though we’re doing it remotely, because we’re getting to finish this thing that we started together. But we’re deep in the struggle.
When it came time to write the Season Five finale, Gould realized that they hadn’t gotten around to a lot of story ideas they had hoped to include. This happens each season, and Gould always reassures himself by saying that they’ll get to them eventually. But for next season, “We have these 13 episodes, and that’s it. There’s no ‘eventually’ anymore.”Around a year passed between several of the show’s early seasons, and nearly a year and a half between Seasons Four and Five.
Still, no one knows when people will be able to safely gather in large enough groups to actually produce the show, and there are other logistical headaches to be sorted out. Gould didn’t like it whentook 2019 off entirely, and while Gilligan hopes Season Six will be ready to premiere in the fall of 2021, if they can begin filming this autumn, he says, “You’re going to have to ask Dr. Fauci here.
