I think that's an oversimplistic interpretation of it. "Better Call Saul" has no real heroes OR villains, and they're basically a Shakespearean tragedy.

No, it was confirmed that it was all in his head. A doctor plugs something in when Chuck isn't looking and he shows no effects.

"It's all for spite" is one read, but I don't buy it.

The thing is, to admit it was just about his name all along, and he was lying or bullshitting about the rest of his moralizing, is something I can't see Chuck ever, ever admitting, even if it's true.

No, I'm past Tuco's death at this point.

That's possible. A drug-induced stroke?

I think it's just that Chuck's version of "love for Jimmy" STILL makes him look super prickish. Jimmy adores him, and not for no reason - it's just that even when his motivations are good, Chuck just naturally comes off as an elitist douche.

Honestly, I came away pretty underwhelmed with this episode.

I don't see Chuck accepting Jimmy just not using the name McGill. His whole point is that he wants Jimmy out of the legal world, where he sees him as a menace, not that he doesn't want the family name shamed. It's about getting Jimmy out.

I'd watch the hell out of that.

That's where I totally disagree. He says it's for his own good, and it's a prickish and elitist thing to to say and think, but it's also probably sincere. He defends Jimmy to the prosecutor even though Jimmy isn't even there.

I've been watching "Breaking Bad" (for the first time for me). The cops call it a stroke outright in one episode.

Sure, but to say he was motivated either entirely by spite OR entirely by good intentions is probably an oversimplification.

Yep. Pretty much my take.

People are trying way to hard to pigeonhole both Chuck and Jimmy's motivations.

Okay, Better Call Saul, okay. You've done it. I didn't think you could but you've done it.

This whole season is worth it for the Valentine's Day episode alone. That's legitimately on the top ten all time list for "Bob's Burgers".

This was my least favorite episode, but I did enjoy how Scaramouche straight up talks to the audience. They don't even pretend otherwise.

That was fantastic.

This is not a question with a yes or no answer.
