Yeah, the main problem is that Chuck seems to think there's 4 groups of people in this world. Chuck, the law-abiders, the criminals, and his brother. And no matter what his brother does or doesn't do, he's already assigned him his place in that hierarchy.

I think he used to (have some redeeming/positive qualities). Look at the way he's actually listening to Jimmy and taking his advice or at least considering it… and not gagging when thinking of Jimmy as a lawyer in the flashback to just after his divorce with Rebecca at the start of the episode.

Unless Howard still has a bit of leverage over him because of all that's gone on… what that would be I'm not entirely sure, but given that, I can imagine Howard laying down the law something along the lines of: "Jimmy, all the things between you and your brother and how they've impacted this firm… I'm willing to let…

well, it appears that AMC's post-Mad Men, post-Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul, post-Walking Dead strategy has been fully mapped out. Well done, lads!

Or maybe most of us are just really enjoying it?

Jesus Christ, Marie! They're minerals!

Jimmy showed the 3 judge panel photos that Mike took of Chuck's living conditions.

I think Jimmy's going to practice as Saul Goodman because Howard asks him to, to save the firm further embarrassment going forward. Howard is done with both brothers McGill at this point, I think.

But see, I don't think that it was entirely about "oh, my brother doesn't know what he's talking about, he's craaaaazy, deranged, he's making up shit about me when I was 9 years old!"…

It's the journey, not the destination.

LOST 2: how on earth is Huell not losing any weight trapped on this island… I mean in this safe house?

Leave Jimmy she might, but I'm not sure Kim could ever really hate him… but we'll see.

Orlando Jones is younger, he'll have plenty more chances. Michael McKean might not get any more chances. Defer to age.

I mean, I knew he was going to attack on two fronts: the "he says he loves me, but really he hates me" angle and the "I was just trying to say/do anything to make him feel better, get him back to doing what he loves, practicing as a lawyer, etc. etc." angle.

Oh, for sure. Jimmy is basically having to force himself to ignore that instinct to save/help/etc. his brother.

Only because Jessup never came up for air even once. Chuck, for all his faults, at least had the presence of mind to pause for a moment, imagine how other people in the room were seeing him at that moment, and apologize for getting carried away. But… yeah. Jessup and Chuck. Both very self-righteous, powerful men,…

It's too bad that the four of them couldn't ever really be on the same team for very long. I guess the case Jimmy brought them so very long ago (with the senior home shredding documents to cover their ass) came closest, but…

I think we just saw Jimmy McGill out-Tom Cruise Lieutenant Kaffee and Chuck McGill out-Jack Nicholson Colonel Jessep there.

That pool has SEEN things, man.

She didn't say offering violence to Odin was arbitrary. She says they split arbitrarily into two sides to fight each other, as in the shirts vs. skins teams were arbitrary. It wasn't Jedi vs. Sith, it wasn't Good vs. Bad. it was viking vs. viking split up randomly, see?
