Why are so many people in such a hurry to have this show wrapped up? It's measured, fascinating, gorgeous, a free master class in the art of cinematography and skilled acting and how to write incredibly effective dialogue and we know where almost everyone's going to be—eventually. If there were ever a place to shitcan…

Haven't been there lately but from what I remember going into Mexico is pretty casual. Some family recently went down to Rocky Point in SUVs with kids and dogs and all kinds of sporting equipment and nobody so much as looked in the windows. There are quite a few very casual border crossings—going into Canada from…

What I figure too. Jimmy's more the Chaotic Neutral type. No wonder they don't get along. ;^D

Come on out west and have a nice tour through Nevada and Oregon (especially the Oregon Outback) then on up through Central and Eastern Washington. Pay attention when they tell you no services for 125 miles and accept the fact that your cellphone will be 100% useless. It's very pretty though. Harney County in Oregon is…

Oh good gosh, yes—I live in Oregon and came back from Moab via 95N from Winnemucca then 78 up to Burns. Now 95 was pretty untravelled, but 78 was downright scary—probably on the close order of 60-75 miles of absolutely nothing. I saw exactly three cars on that stretch—one parked off the side of the road (I assumed…

I think I'd categorize that as "baiting," and I think we can all acknowledge Chuck's mastery of the technique.

The juxtaposition of the two storylines is genius—they're exact opposites of each other. Loud and talky vs silent and deliberate. Claustrophobic indoors vs majestic sweeping Western movie panoramas. Mental vs physical. First world problems vs raw physical peril. The only thing they have in common is the relentless…

I also assumed that he was watching them to make sure they weren't looking his way when he fired his shots into the air. A glint off his rifle barrel would give it away that it's not just random hunters somewhere.

Yeah, in BB he's very skeevy in a particularly "single guy" kind of way that simply doesn't match the Jimmy we know in BCS. Something happened to cause that change, he seems very brittle on the relationship front, like he was burned in some absolutely comprehensive manner. There's trauma markers there!

It's really great acting to portray someone deliberately "acting" but doing it juuust poorly enough to telegraph that it's all an act to the viewer without telegraphing it to the inshow audience (the DA lady.) I hate Chuck, but Michael McKean is doing some seriously good work here.

Well, it's a darned good thing I never said you or anyone else can't criticize his behavior then, isn't it? All I'm saying is that I find Jimmy's actions to be understandable and more forgivable than Chuck's because, basically, who did Jimmy hurt? He embarrassed his brother, that's pretty much it. HHM isn't materially…

But the question is not "how do real world lawyers handle gaining/losing clients," the question is "how does fictional lawyer character Jimmy see this situation?" He saw that keeping the client she scored was super important to her self esteem as well as to her (and their) financial future and he also saw a chance to…

"Entrap" also has a very specific meaning that does not completely jibe with the legal definition. Chuck did very specifically set a trap for his brother—he baited it, waited for it and jumped around like a house owner hearing the snap of the mousetrap going off in the kitchen when Jimmy walked into it.

But it's not Chuck's call to defend the bar from Jimmy—they have a whole association that does just that. If he misbehaves, he'll get what he deserves. Using your position as an older, beloved sibling to taunt, tease and entrap your brother into an act that could be used to force him out of the law is just sick. Jimmy…

It's no more of a leap to think Jimmy would have settled into comfortable obscurity with Kim to give him a good example than the numerous people who look right past the explicit evidence of Chuck's malice to excuse him because they think he has some sort of magical insight into the future of what Jimmy might do. I…

Not to wax all political and all but aren't we getting daily lessons in how meaningless it is to try to hide behind legality when the laws are directly opposed to moral rightness? That pecksniffian insistence on the letter of the law while completely taking a steaming dump on what's right and just is, to me, the…

I would give anything to have that as a gif…

I think it's just as fair to assume that Jimmy would have stayed in elder law, working alongside the person he loves to distraction if Chuck hadn't gone all fucking mad dog on him. Most of us get lazy when we get comfortable and are getting laid on the regular—I bet if Chuck had just minded his own beeswax Jimmy would…

I got "Vangelic Surgeon," which is pretty neat.

I'm with you on Chuck—he's like one of those preachers who rails about sin and condemns everyone else while doing the most horrendous things imaginable, yet feels he's all good with god and man because reasons. I'm temperamentally much more like Jimmy—a lot of time life feels like standing in a room with some pathways…
