We've learned that the Saul persona is a self-destructive coping mechanism, sort of an overlay over Jimmy, rather than an actual character transition from Jimmy into Saul. Underneath he hasn't found any solace, he goes to bed as Jimmy and wakes up as Jimmy and is disgusted by the idea of having to put on the Saul mask.
Gene Tacovic is also all Jimmy and the second he gets rejected by Kim on the phone he immediately falls off the wagon and goes back to crime
Kim said they were bad together but together they were the best versions of themselves

Well, the black and white signifies post-BB timelines. It's a reverse of the norm where usually the past is black & white and modern/current times are in color.

I'm still struggling with the credibility of the whole Kim-Jimmy breakup. Kim breaking bad herself was a bit of a surprise a season ago. But that whole end to their marriage seemed really abrupt and too clean and immediate, unlike the messiness of real life.
Sure, seeing your mentor get his head blown off at random will make you question your life choices. But I still am not buying what the Kim character has been selling since everything turned black & white. Seems forced by the writers and not terribly plausible.
Right now, everyone has to presume the only outcomes in the last episode will be Jimmy in jail or dead. If the writers are still as good as they were for years before the past few episodes, this could be a complete setup to fool us into believing that while delivering an unexpected surprise outcome. I am still hoping for that. Otherwise I won't feel the past few episodes have been worth what they've been building up to.

Am I the only one who liked BCS more than BB?
Sure, BB might have better heights throughout the seasons, especially the last 2-3 episodes of BB was really really good. But overall I think BCS simply outclasses it, especially because of the humor and the fact that Saul is way easier to relate to than Walt.
I never found Walt interesting, Saul on the other hand. Not to forget Kim is way better than Skyler. To make it short, just better storytelling in BCS.
Both series are great, but Saul slightly better imo. Now lets see what the final episode will bring us.

I prefer BCS but not sure how much of it is because it has been so long since I watched BB and forgotten how good it was.
I quite liked the slow start and when I think of BB I really liked it but remember being underwhelmed by the ending and....

if they ended it a few seasons earlier at the point where Gus died it would have been even better.

I remember watching BB from the beginning. It was a curious show. But it had lots of long stretches that kind of lulled you into a mild coma. What saved it for me, and what kept me watching it, is the writers were excellent at setting the audience up for a scenario where you thought there was no way out than 1-2 expected outcomes. Then something would totally surprise you in the script and made you go, "WHAAAAAA?"
That was the hook that kept me going at first. Because Walt and the crew as characters took a good two seasons to finally develop.
Which is why it dawned on me that the only real salvageable ending to this past slog of black & white episodes in BCS is going to be something nutter ... like Saul and Kim getting back together. (Which allegedly they did not film scenes for.) Or at least getting back together to drive off a cliff like gangstas, Thelma & Louise style.
Or space aliens come and beam up Saul and Kim back to planet Zolton.
Anything less would kind of be a disappointment, really.

I will say this much...
I will anally rape with a baseball bat anybody who calls this show part of the "Breaking Bad Cinematic Universe".
All in the Family may have spun off Maude, Good Times, and The Jeffersons. But that doesn’t make it the Archie Bunker Cinematic Universe. Enough with the childish comic book movie franchise jargon.
