It wasn't the best ending, but I'm fine with it for the most part. I think it was rushed though.

Now the episode does also introduce the theme of regret and the motif of the time machine, but it rubs me a little raw that all the moments of Jimmy slowly learning the meaning of regretting your actions are withheld from us until this last episode. The conclusion seems to be that if Jimmy had the time machine then he would go back to that night and have a heart-to-heart with his brother. But Chuck never enters Jimmy's mind again from season 5 until the finale so that also feels underdeveloped.

Basically my feelings, but put in a much better way than I could have. The ending felt rushed and almost unearned. It feels a bit subpar compared to the great writing this team has done the whole series.

Part of me wishes he took the short sentence. I would have been totally fine with an unredeemed Jimmy, who's basically been taken over by Saul and willing to scam again once he gets out. Him getting one last sort of "win" over the federal government, who you could say is Saul's biggest "legal" opponent. It would also prove how he will always be "Slippin' Jimmy". I am happy with how Jimmy is well liked by his fellow inmates. It was actually the ending I was expecting out of all the usual fan theories that were floating out there at the time.
