They really are each other's yin and yang, aren't they? Chuck with his high flown rhetoric and staunch insistence on his own moral and intellectual rightness all covering a rotten seething core of envy and malice vs Jimmy's outward coating of slimy, sleazy prevarication covering a heart that's pure and selfless and…

It was clearly shown joggling about in the back of the wagon as Mike was so uncharacteristically and recklessly speeding on those pothole tracks out in the boonies. Then he just stops at a junction and there's a shot of a really distinctive tree. Maybe he hid it around the tree before going to the junkyard. That's a…

At least twice. Mebbe three times. *sage nod*

Contrast her unwillingness to commit with Jimmy's endless patience with the paint—he broke it right out again without a word when she went all "two minutes, tops" grammar panicked. Irresistable force and immovable object, which wins?

Just like the noncommittal blue sedan parked behind the highway sign when Mike hijacked the ice cream truck. Then methodically disassembled the tires with a sawzall. *swoons in sheer bliss* This show is power tool porn, truly.

OMG, IKEA needs to hire Banks to reprise the character of Mike solely to do nearly silent IKEA assembly videos on a YouTube channel. SO many hits, so much ad revenue!

And Mike settled this all for us when he asked the junkyard guy for a gas cap to fit a specific vehicle, and got the answer of "yeah, grab one of those GM ones, the blue label." This clues him in that the gas caps aren't unique in any real way and the closeup of the gas cap on the ground when he goes back out to the…

From Jimmy's perspective he was just setting things right again. HHM only got Mesa Verde because Kim made it happen, from soup to nuts. Then Chuck went in and stole them from Kim when she was trying so hard to do everything by the numbers. Mesa Verde is $250K billings annually, which is a fart in a cyclone to HHM but…

Jimmy at least takes on people in his weight class or above, people who can legitimately hurt him. Chuck tortures little people like a mean kid burning ants with a magnifying glass because it makes him feel powerful. Jimmy could be fucking over all those old people but he doesn't, he genuinely cares for them. Chuck…

Then again, Jimmy's main motivation was to get Chuck to eat something—he's worried about his brother's well being more than he's worried about when mom's gonna croak, what with her being all comatose and circling the drain for days. I'm not going to canonize Chuck for being a goddamned martyr but I'm also not going…

I recently rewatched season two to get ready for this season's premiere and that whole thing about Jimmy stealing from his dad is… problematical. What we see FIRST is his dad cracking open the till repeatedly to give con artists money as Jimmy tries like crazy to get his dad to stop being such a patsy, and it's only…

The Mike Show is the actual engine that's powering BCS into the collision of Breaking Bad. Mike is what ties it all together—not Walt, not Saul, not Gus, not Jesse, it's all Mike even though he's the quietest and least seen of all the characters. He's the shadow man that proves the existence of the bright stars.

Not really—when have we seen Jimmy do much of anything to enrich only himself? He willingly lives in a shithole and drives a crap car and even gives up the whole Sandpiper suit (along with the phat salary and new Mercedes) to Davis & Main just to maintain the autonomy he needs to keep sane and to take care of Kim or…

Good luck on getting a conviction when your complainant can't sit in a courtroom long enough to answer questions without falling over and/or losing his shit. Jimmy is so much more credible than Chuck it's not funny—you can only take Chuck seriously if you don't know him at all or if you knew him from before he went…

That's the thing about Mike, he never loses his cool and he never rushes things—which was why I got so freaked out by him going full tilt boogie away from his desert parking spot. He was recklessly fast and kicking up a dirt plume that would've been visible for miles so now I'm wondering what I missed and why was he…

Not the worst, per se, but it did have that juggernaut inevitability to it with absolutely no way for a rational person to see a good outcome for any of the characters in it. Then fucking Todd comes along to show us all what takes over after the giants fall, like skanky little rodents taking over after the dinosaurs…

Seriously, when the hell are this bunch going to pass their boards and get jobs SOMEWHERE ELSE? They haven't had any new students in like, what, six years? It's been five seasons the new bunch have been around, with another year in show time when Mer was off having a babby and that, shouldn't they be graduated and…

IMDB doesn't list anything as in production or pre-production for her so yeah, weird. But because she copped Scott's book I'm thinking they're not done with her yet.

Ooops, sorry, my bad! This whole show needs one big trigger warning on it—"May cause uncontrollable sobbing, viewer discretion is advised."

My thought was cremation and I kinda expected a moment where Randall takes the urn from the back seat to put a bit of William's ashes under the same tree as Jack. Glad they didn't, though, because I didn't need to sob any more by that point.
