Because Chuck's values are drastically different from those of you, or me, or a lot of people who at least see the value in choosing forgiveness and love over hate and resentment.

It occurs to me that this finale is sadly prescient to our present reality. Pride and narcissism is running amok to the point people in charge might prefer burning the whole thing down to having to face up to having been wrong to the detriment of all.

Part of Jimmy's road to Saul is reconciling his baser tendencies with the fact that he has a conscience, albeit a somewhat selective one. It's not hard to see how one with a conscience like Jimmy's - which is not at all attuned towards doing the proper thing legally or professionally - would lead him to a place where…

Another great end to another great season of this show.

If Chuck died without a will, then his full estate will go to Jimmy. He has no spouse, he has no children, and they have no parents. Most intestacy laws would say the estate passes to siblings in that case.

Unless Chuck deposited the check on his way home. Then Howard can't take it back. But considering Howard was able to come up with the bulk of the money on his own, it shouldn't affect HHM much either way.

This is an astute observation. In order to make it as a lawyer, you have to figure out where corners can be cut, what is less deserving of attention, when you can half-ass something without harming a client. Kim seems like she's working 3 or 4 hours to bill 1. So many biglaw associates wash out in a year or two for…

A large firm gets a much bigger retainer. Kim may have gotten a small retainer, but is most likely only billing by the hour as part of her pitch to MV. And the problem with hourly billing is you often have to work 1.5 or 2 hours to bill 1. That's why she's putting in 16-20 hour days - she's probably working at least 2…

I guarantee you that Chuck sees himself in that light, though, warped as it may be. Howard is no dummy.

As if Baby Boomer assholes ever stooped so low as to listen to other people's advice on raising kids.

I think that's intentional. The point of making Chuck almost caricature-level hatable serves a couple of purposes. One, he's a stand-in for an entire generation of control-freak, emotionally stunted Baby Boomer fathers that so many of us Xers and Millennials had to put up with. Two, it greatly muddies the moral and…

Chuck has earned it where Skyler did not.

The way it sets the mood, sets the odds that Jimmy is up against is quite elegant though. It isn't just Chuck's reputation that Jimmy is up against - it's the willingness of seemingly everyone in the ABQ if not the entire state of New Mexico to bend over backwards to accommodate the great Charles McGill and his…

Fucking brilliant. My stomach was in knots for the entire episode. This episode alone could be the basis for a master class in how to use the medium of television to its maximum potential.

Jack goes so far over the line when he acts like Rebecca is a terrible person for not being fulfilled by him and the kids. As if that's all she should want out of life and is somehow in the wrong for wanting more. That shows a total lack of respect for her as a person.

Don't be ridiculous. Singing is her passion, and as the show seems to be going with the notion that Rebecca sings about as well as Mandy Moore, she's really really talented at it. She gave up a dream and a career pursuing her dream for the sake of settling down and having Jack realize his dream. That's fine, she…

I'm so disgusted with Jack's response to Rebecca (finally) revealing to him that she isn't fulfilled. "We aren't enough for you?" NO, you jackass, nor should you be. So demeaning and paternalistic and sexist and just destroys any notion that Jack is even a half-decent husband. He obviously believes that his wife…

She hasn't found other things to do because what she wants to do - sing - is inconvenient for her lifestyle. It doesn't help that her dickhead husband thinks it's just a silly hobby and him and the kids ought to be enough for her.

I think the problems with Rebecca's character are an unitended consequence of the arc of Jack's story. I appreciate the non-linear storytelling here very much, because it serves a real purpose. We first see Jack through his kids' eyes, an almost mythically great father and husband. However, slowly over time it's…

The whole gangster/poker storyline was pretty ridiculous, and I agree, felt very filler-y. Even in the improbable land of network drama writing, you're gonna pull a 4-of-a-kind against a full house, in the first hand of a game of 5 card draw?
