So, Who Is Better Call Saul's Final Villain?
WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Better Call Saul season 6
Better Call Saul season 6 has a potential problem when it comes to a final villain. The midseason premiere, «Point and Shoot,» changed the series in a completely unexpected way by killing off Lalo Salamanca.

One such way is leaving the void open for a new villain to take the reigns as Better Call Saul comes to a close.

It would make more sense for this to be the series' main concluding storyline instead of conflict with another outside force.
