Since season 1, Jimmy has believed that Chucks electro-brain-crazies were a reaction to him being shady. I'd wager he developed them after bailing Jimmy out for the chicago sunroof.

Pretty sure Kim left because HHM kept punishing her for things that were not her fault, and other law firms saw her value.

Jimmy's only hope is convincing the board that him destroying the tape is something they should forgive. If he is destroying evidence of a crime, they can't. If he is acting out of rage that his brother who he doted on for years but who has callously exploited and abused him was now trying to frame him for a crime he…

We also see, in those examples you gave, that chuck has been actively trying to drag jimmy down for years. He refuses to tell jimmy their mother asked for him. He badmouths Jimmy before he meets rebecca and afterwards, even after (or possibly because) it is obvious she liked him.

That's the key, and why Chuck is so terrible. Jimmy did screw up….and will continue to screw up. But chuck was so convinced that jimmy would screw up that he sabotaged his attemtp at going legit.

God. I am so tired of this show not showing us what we want. It took nearly 7 seconds before we saw our protagonist! If i wanted a breaking bad prequel, that's what i would have watched. instead the courtroom storyline only took up 40 minutes this episode.

But he lost a ton of weight.

The only legit laugh in this ep came from Haley being momentarily attracted to the car thief,

Well there was his weird attraction to haley

You just answered your own question. Manny is exactly the kind of guy who would go to one of those things. I'm just amazed he didn't bring his trilby..

Those are prizes!

But multiple flashbacks in breaking bad showcase Hector was dealing with some kind of ailment earlier in his life.

Well the tape can easily be played off as Jimmy telling his mentally ill brother what he wanted to hear. Without the tape, Jimmy looks crazy. Put in the tape and the entire brotherly relationship is on display and they'll show on manipulating the other.

The character, referred to by the BrBa wiki as Sketchy is played By Jeremy Howard. I doubt it is the same actor.

I love how Jimmy used the enforced apology as a way to call out Chuck. Nobody should ever treat their brother that way indeed.

Isn't that the theme of the breaking verse? Everyone is better at what they aren't doing. Skinny pete is a talented pianist. Walter is a brilliant chemist but a terrible teacher. Skyler really should be managing a business, Jesse should be a carpenter. Gus made a million dollar fast food franchise as a front.

As hector and walt will go on to show. huh. Wonder if that is a subtle theme in this show about how the infirm are just as big a bunch of dicks as everyone.

Who has the creepier pool…eladio or walt? Because one has Max brains in it, but the other has plane crash victim.

I would watch a Don Eladio spinoff. he's the only one in the cartel (aside from tortuga, who really should have had a cameo by now) who looks like he can have some fun. Everyone else just has a giant stick in their ass.

Money for nothing.
