Really Interested to See How this Pans Out

So it's no secret the writers behind both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are top notch. The way they treat certain issues (drug use, murder, crime, etc.) has created a certain distinctive style among the two shows.

I'm really interested in seeing how the death of a major character is treated by these writers. The only other time a major character died in this universe was in Breaking Bad with Hank and this happened towards the very end of the show.

I'm interested to see how Chuck's death is treated throughout the next few seasons. I'm interested in seeing how the writers start Season 4 with such a bombshell. I'm interested in seeing how each of the character's change as a result--Jimmy, Kim, and Howard (not a momentary grimace from Marie). I'm interested in seeing how the show's sense of visual style translates to a funeral and proper burial for Chuck. We saw Jimmy outside Marco's funeral in Season 1, but I want to see how a full-fledged burial is done by the directors who craft the aesthetic of the show. I want to see how they treat Chuck's name in the future of the show, and how, at the end of it all, Chuck's death is depicted in the show's very own finale. Does the finale include a scene where Jimmy fully transitions into Saul, sits down in his new strip mall office, and immediately hears Chuck's last words to him? "Why don't you skip the whole exercise? In the end, you're going to hurt everyone around you. You can't help it. So stop apologizing and accept it. Embrace it. Frankly, I'd have more respect for you if you did."
