I said a few episodes back that I was 100% cool with the slow burn aspect of this, and wasn't in a rush to get anywhere but having just caught up last night, I REALLY didn't like this. I'm just so completely tired of all the stuff with Chuck. If he died, and that caused Jimmy to reevaluate things (or go further down the road), I would have been good with that. If he got busted on this scam and it ultimately hurt his career and Kim's (and killed his relationship with her that he values so much), I would have been good with that.
But I just have absolutely no interest in going through more of the Jimmy-Chuck relationship and Chuck's issues. Like cartman said, Gilligan has earned a lot of latitude here so we'll see but I'll be heading into next season with much lower expectations than I had just a day ago.

The problem with what you are asking for is that (IMO) Chuck and Kim are the two main things that lead to him becoming Saul Goodman. So you are looking for a British like show that concludes in 2 seasons. Not saying it wouldn't be fantastic tv but since it is American tv that are going to take 60 episodes to do the same thing. Same with Mike. He could meet Gus and go to work for him but that would pretty much end the show for him also. For better or worse I think Chuck is part of the show until the final season, possibly the final episode.
