Not knowing your account number is certainly plausible - how many account numbers do you memorize? Why would anyone memorize an account number, ever, since everything can be looked up easily by other methods - names, SSN, phone number, email?

It wasn't important that a copy was destroyed, but, that a copy survived (didn't matter whether it was a copy or the original). Jimmy and Kim wanted to find out for sure that a copy still existed. Having that tape entered into evidence in court (and having chuck testify) was essential to Jimmy being able to turn the

Yep. When Walter is acting - he's pretending to be good. The real Walter that the viewer sees though is an asshole who happily commits crimes to get ahead - he revels in it. When Jimmy is acting - he's doing his back-slapping, loud-talking, lawyer shtick. The real Jimmy that the viewer sees though is a kind-hearted

I'm always going to side with the living being that's here, now. Do no harm.

I mostly agree with you. There are not going to be any winners here - none of these characters are going to come out ahead, and, mostly they have nobody to blame but themselves (Chuck, Jimmy, Mike, Howard, Kim, Gus - they're all going to suffer). But, I do think that Jimmy is a far more nuanced character than Walter

If you don't understand that most dying involves suffering, I hope you don't think you understand living, death, or morality at all.

Of course, the morally correct answer is always not to kill. So, you'd rather murder a child and kill yourself too? And, put all of your faith in another person's word that if you act immorally, that some other little kid will one day grow up to save millions (and not get hit by a bus, or develop early onset

Howard's acquiescence to Chuck's scheme thus far seems a bit off to me. Sure, Chuck's the senior partner - he built the firm with Howard's dad, so, yeah, I can see Howard as being somewhat solicitous toward Chuck. But, surely Howard is clear-headed enough to see that Chuck's condition is a debilitating mental

But, Chuck IS very interesting and fun - one of the best, most complex characters (in a show full of great characters) that we have the great pleasure to watch. He's sanctimonious, certainly - if you think that's "good", so be it. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

One of the criteria necessary to allow you to take a state bar exam is having a degree from an accredited law school. If the New Mexico Bar accepted Jimmy's application to take the test, then, yes, unambiguously, the University of American Samoa is in fact an accredited law school in the world of BCS.

It's likely that none of the principals in this story end up in a good place: Jimmy, Chuck, Mike, Kim, Francesca, Gus, Howard - in a few years' time, all of them will either be dead or in a living hell.

Exactly right. Everyone has to pass the same state bar exam - what so galls Chuck is that Jimmy passed the same test that Chuck passed, without having spent as much time and money as Chuck at a more prestigious law school.

I totally agree - Jimmy's conduct was not only immoral, but also illegal. There is no excuse for it.

Yep, agreed. They're both such well-drawn characters, and the negative attributes of each brother almost always leads the other brother further down the rabbit hole of dysfunction. We should also add that Jimmy is right too: a normal person WOULD accept the fact that they made a typographical error - it happens to

Interesting theory, but, doubt Jimmy would be nabbed for burglary - it's his brother's house, he routinely comes by the house to help Chuck out (even if he no longer has a key). It would be pretty easy for Jimmy to establish that his mentally ill brother needs help, and all Jimmy was doing was coming to his brother's

Kim is likely the missing piece, at least in part - Chuck can get back at Jimmy through Kim (and Mesa Verde). Chuck can tarnish Kim's reputation with her client through the tape's revelation of Jimmy's machinations, making Kim hate Jimmy. Ernesto, Kim, and even Mesa Verde are all pawns to Chuck at this point, as all

"Embezzling" may have occurred, but, we haven't been shown that yet. We've only seen a kid take a couple of bucks from the drawer - AND, a very naïve dad with no business sense who is clearly being taken by con-men on a regular basis.

Of course, Jimmy lied. But, let's not delude ourselves: Howard, Jimmy, and everyone else knows that Chuck has already lost it - he's clearly mentally ill. The fact that Chuck did not in fact make a trans-positional error on the address doesn't negate the fact that he's mentally ill and unfit to function, as either

I found the bikes very practical, and the garbage trucks very funny. :) On a better show, someone next to Rick would have commented: "Of course, the freaks from the dump are riding here in garbage trucks. Are you SURE this alliance-thing is a good idea?"

Would the origin stories of the people in the other settlements be written and filmed by the folks producing TWD or FTWD? If the answer is "yes", then, no, it wouldn't be any better.
