How awesome, weird, mind-blowing would it be if BCS ran into/through the BrBa timeline showing the events of the Heisenberg-era through Jimmy/Saul's point of view. I'm going to have to sit down a moment and let that concept rattle around in my head a bit.

It's not really about Jimmy being a con that annoys Chuck. . . it's that Jimmy is a constant reminder to Chuck that Chuck himself is a con. Because deep down, Chuck just games the law to elevate himself. Not any of that sanctimonious spewing about how the law is sacred and such. Chuck is simply a more sophisticated

"I'm your huckleberry."

Saul, as written on BB, was a caricature. Jimmy is a fully developed lead in a Greek tragedy.

But there is still a glowing ember of Jimmy McGill burning inside Gene the Cinnabon manager . . . i.e. Yelling at the pick-pocket kid to say nothing and get a lawyer.

I'm looking forward to Huell's moment in the flash-forward spotlight . . . still waiting . . . still waiting.

You know how law firms write little bios and highlights of the attorneys on staff? Since we've never seen Howard practice law, I can only imagine Howard's blurb to read something like . . . "Second generation attorney with a winning smile and the ability to fill out a suit like nobody's business."

Chuck is oblivious. He thinks the facade of being a brilliant lawyer covers all blemishes.

Nah, Kim is running the Auntie Anne's at the other end of the food court

ala Tilda Swinton from "Michael Clayton."

Howard would have rather visited the proctologist. He is so sick of the McGill brothers' drama.

I'd call it humanity. To see someone crumble and reveal he is less than a functional human being should stir something in us.

As I watch this episode, I think the great tragedy is not the split between the two McGill brothers, but that Kim and Jimmy go their separate ways before we reach BB. At this point in BCS, they are very much all-in for each other.

He doesn't want to be in this mess. You remember his conversation with Kim when she said she was going to hang up her own shingle? He was so envious and revealed he had fantasies of doing that once.

After this episode, I turned to my wife and said, "I'd want Kim on my side in a fight." The wife agreed.

I wouldn't describe her as sugar sweet. More stevia sweet.

Micheal McKean was great in "Best in Show," "Spinal Tap," and "A Mighty Wind."

Francesca extorting Walt for $20k for the broken window was a delightful scene.

I'm not a Chuck defender but I could make a case that mirror's Jimmy's.

He already has. His own mother called out his brother's name as her last words and didn't acknowledge him when he told her it wasn't Jimmy, but rather Chuck. His wife left him. Before leaving him, we got a glimpse of their home life and it clearly hurt Chuck that she didn't find him funny and disagreed with his
