Decades' look in the public mind tend to reflect the last half. You see the early 50s and 60s fashions more closely reflected the previous decade than what we associate in retrospect as the look of the 50s and 60s.

We haven't seen Jimmy con anyone close to him. To the contrary he goes the extra mile to help people he loves. His obsession with rescuing Kim, and slavishly indulging Chuck's mental disorder, does not track with screwing his own father.

But Chuck did not have the balls to say it to Jimmy's face until he was caught. Chuck is responsible for the callous cynicism that drives Saul Goodman. Saul knows kindness does not exist in the world because if your own brother will lie to your face and stab you in the back all bets are off. And Saul is right to use

Even money "missing" could be a function of bad bookeeping. Or maybe dad himself dipped into the till occasionally, it is a powerful urge with cash businesses. If it was over the course of a decade $14,000 is not a great sum. "Jimmy grew up in that store" Chuck said which indicates yes, Dad had the store for more than

Maybe dad had a gambling or a drinking/substance problem, or a love child. Jimmy might know but Chuck has sainted dad and immunized dad from any culpability in the failure of his own business preferring to blame Jimmy, presumably without hard evidence or a confession.

"No reason to distrust Chuck?" He lied to his own brother's face pretending to support him while stabbing Jimmy behind his back. Yes. There is reason to believe Chuck's version is not the full story. He is two faced and duplicitous.

That dad was a sainted white hat and Jimmy a maniacal black hatted villian is Chuck's worldview. Dad could have been a wonderful person who kept sloppy books and whose business failed either from his own mistakes or just because businesses fail all the time. Not buying Chuck's version without more than Chuck's word.

Spot on, except in Jimmy's defense facile charm is a skill. And he charmed his way into a huge class action lawsuit. Chuck would never have listened closely enough to those seniors to see there was anything more than the task at hand: making a will. Jimmy smelled a con. Takes one to know one.

Ha ha. I am Jimmy. Gift of gab, popular, not so studious, more impulsive that careful. I guess that explains why I hate Chuck so much.

God that was so awkward I did not even catch it was an awkward attempt at a pass. Ugh. Hate Chuck more now.

Worse than cut ties. To become partner Kim needs to screw Jimmy over in some substantial way like cut him out of a big case that costs him a fortune. She does it because she has lost faith in Jimmy and because she is tired of eating crap. This disillusions Jimmy enough to become Saul Goodman.

Submitted for consideration: Chuck is an unreliable narrator. The story of dad's downfall is predicated on Dad being a saint and Jimmy being a scoundrel. It might be easier for him to blame Jimmy than accept dad was a just crappy businessman. What evidence exists that Jimmy stole from the till? Video tape? Please I

Yeah. I do not trust Chuck though. He may be just weaseling his way into Kim's good graces so he can destroy her relationship with Jimmy, not because he gives a fuck about Kim or her career. So it could still end badly if Kim and Jimmy patch this over and Kim finds herself on Chuck's bad side again.

Calling him out would not have mattered. Howard specifically said that with the purpose of humiliating her and he knew it. Kim might have gotten some emotional satisfaction saying something however rough or diplomatic but Howard was still ungrateful and determined to make her suffer for her imaginary crime. You

I do not know if making Chuck's was being professional or just being beaten with no way out. At the end Chuck told her he would talk to Howard. But then Chuck is a lying two faced POS, so who knows if he is just toying with her for sadistic pleasure?

Agreed. She was amazing. This episode really did what it was supposed to do: gave us insight into Kim as something more than just a love object for Jimmy. It was very well done. Ps. I am so glad I never went to law school as mom suggested many times.

Good read. How's THIS for a compromise. A&E brings back Phil, but from now on, DOESN'T edit out all his racist, homophobic ignorant crap? Let the conservative right have their new hero on display every week in living color in reality TV. Sarah Palin can guest star.
