I like Donna's review this week, except I'd say that Chuck understands "the searing existential anger of a brother betrayed" all too well, that's what's been motivating him all this time, ever since he discovered Jimmy was the preferred son.

Well, I'm not sure—I remember how Obama had to plead to be allowed to keep his Blackberry. He did get his way in the end, it's true, but it seemed that the recommendations were pretty insistent.

That's him playing the drums, too

I think like the whole show, the cliffhanger is not a "what" but a "how."

OK, thanks—I wasn't sure if he was one of the attorneys or not

And that's what I find hard to understand, why Ernie allows himself to be treated that way. What is his status at HHM? I'm a bit confused about this, mainly because he's treated by Chuck like a servant and goes along with it.

I remember the 15-year difference, too—maybe it came from Gilligan and Gould in Talking Saul?

That makes sense, except for Chuck's fondness for the past. I'm not convinced he ever had any, especially with regard to Jimmy.

Oh yeah, Jimmy knows his audience. And I'm sure Kim appreciates that. But the ad must still have set her teeth on edge

Isn't there a bigger age difference between them, though?

I don't think she's swallowing it so much as acting supportive for Jimmy's benefit, given that she's thrown in her lot with him. But her real reaction to the ad is surely the same as ours.

I don't think he's the bad guy because he's not fun—people who are morally and ethically in the right can still be, and often are, insufferable people. (And Chuck's motives are also somewhat morally ambiguous, at the very least.)

I know I'm a horrible person, but I kinda enjoyed Chuck being tortured because he'd basically earned it. I would have felt bad if he'd died, I guess, but luckily he didn't ,and in fact became even more of a dick than before, so I'm enjoying it even more in retrospect.

Beautifully done by Banks

The part I found far-fetched was that the driver-by just unbound the guy rather than calling the cops, not that Mike would have expected him to call the cops. Plus, I'm seeing a parallel here between that and the call to the cops that Jimmy is willing thecopy-store people to make at the end of the episode

I know this is a quibble, but it's just a relationship, not an affair—there's nothing illicit about it

I think it's more complex, in that at the beginning of BB Walt IS in some ways a good man, and Jimmy has many good qualities too. Most people aren't 100% one or the other, and even what seems a good quality to one person seems like a negative to another. Jimmy does do all the things you mention, for example, but he…

Or the other way around, unless you mean Jimmy is still Saul even though he's now Gene. God, this is confusing.

This is why the internet is so fascinating. Because, for instance, until I started reading the online BCS discussions, I had no idea people hated Skyler. Or that people (well, some of them) perceived Walt as an undiluted bad guy. It's like a whole other show to the one I watched, let alone different to BCS.

Margo's had a lengthy career—over 13 years with various bands—and has now finally gotten her break. She's had a lot of hard times, as her songs reflect, and has lived every lyric of every song, so I'm really happy that it's finally happening for her.
