Right and wrong, legal vs. illegal are different things, although at times they intersect. Chuck's behavior, in regard to Jimmy, has long been unethical, to say the least. The firm punishing Kim for her association with Jimmy was also unethical. Legal and unethical vs. ethical reasoning and illegal: This is a theme

I think what will be interesting to watch, if analyzed/covered is Chuck's demise. When he pushes Jimmy out, he loses his rival and has nowhere to direct his angry sanctimony. Further, Jimmy is the only one who cares for him, out of fee will. Chuck otherwise only has underlings that must be paid to spend time with him.

I think Jimmy actually LOVES Chuck, more than anyone in the world loved Chuck, including his own wife. Therein lies the irony. Chuck hates Jimmy because he effortlessly won the love of his parents and most of the people he has met. Jimmy is a con, but also a slightly naive one. In most of his hair brained schemes, he

I have to admit I was slightly disappointed as well. The signs were there that Chuck was angry going into the garage. Anger fuels him, while love drives Jimmy. From the garage scene onward you knew Chuck was going to record Jimmy, so there was no real suspense or surprise. It was painful watching Jimmy getting duped

Yeah, it's one thing to get someone to confess, it's another to use it to destroy them. In the scheme of things, I'd bet Chuck's law firm handled clients who were infinitely more abhorrent in actions which caused more damage to more people. Chuck is ego, Jimmy is id.

Didn't we see Chuck prodding the tape recorder in the garage? The entire time Jimmy was confessing I knew he was being recorded, so there was no surprise. That stretch, so drawn out, was painful to watch knowing that the entire time Chuck was setting Jimmy up.

I think the likability element was Jimmy's achievement, but part of it is innate and not learned. Everything Chuck achieved was through study. Chuck is jealous of Jimmy's likability; we see it, when in bed with his wife, he tries to make her laugh with a lawyer joke, even though Jimmy's jokes in that vein offended him

I'm probably the only one, but I like this show more than BB.

Yeah, he mentioned this before, I think, in context with their father.

He ripped off his dad in youth. Not a worthy victim.

Jimmy is incredibly endearing, I can see why.

I wondered if this is a further set-up. Maybe that gun can be tied to a previous murder?

I think there is more psychological tension in Saul, than BB.

Daulerio was the worst park of Gawker.

This used to be a show that I had some investment in seeing through. Now, if I miss it, my judgement seems to be bolstered by the reviews and comments. I feel no sense of missing out and there is such a lack of continuity even if you loyally follow it, that you can miss entire episodes without threat of

Yep. I tried, I gave up.

Alan Cumming is a great actor, and even though the relationship wasn't built up to be this great love story on the surface, I think he accurately portrayed someone who had a reassessment of it, or an epiphany about his true deep feelings, once he realized it was over.

This was an incredibly anticlimactic, mid-season-level-boring episode. I'm seeing a grade of 'C'. And there was zero emotion from Margulies when she was actually in a scene with Panjabi. Even though her scenes and story-lines were becoming smaller, this show just lost an excellent supporting cast member. Michael J Fox

You were right.

I think Kalinda will be the surprise guest at Alicia's door next week.
