This always bugged me from BB too, after Saul told Walt his real name was McGill. Of course back then, I just assumed it was part of Saul's sales pitch and he probably told numerous different clients his "real" name was [fill in the blank], but you are absolutely right that no one would be allowed to practice law…

I know I'm in the minority on this but I'm really not sold on Mando as this big bad gangsta Nacho. He looks like a 16 year old nerd dressing up and acting like a gangsta. Looks like he might start to cry if Ehrmantraut scowls at him. Maybe it's just hard to be a believable tough guy when Jonathan Banks is the…

Well, other than the fact that Saul has a different office in BB, so clearly he and Kim are not practicing law together anymore, it's not impossible.

Totally agree on the ambiguity of that wolf/sheep flashback, as some people took it as confirmation of Chuck's story and others, myself included, took the main point to be that Chuck saw things only in black and white and unfairly blamed Jimmy far in excess of what he may have done. I think in that particular…

I've been tremendously impressed with and entertained by BCS, and perhaps the craft — the writing, shooting, directing, etc. — might be considered better now (more practice), but the BB storyline was far more compelling to me anyway.

Amen

Jimmy is colorful, after all!

Yes, this has to be it. And for reasons other commenters mention, JImmy would have to legally change his name to Saul Goodman. That is not hard to do. But no bar association would allow an attorney to practice under a fake name.

Bingo!

"Most parents have a favorite. You know this early on as a parent and as a child."
Interesting observation — do you really think this is true? It has not been my experience as a parent or as a child. I think many children *believe* that a parent favors a sibling, but are mistaken.

Yes, but taken with all the other circumstantial evidence — the access, the motive, the past experience/know-how, etc. — I don't think that would be a very good defense. Plus, while copy-shop Lance held up pretty well when crazy douchey old man Chuck was yammering at him, I think he'd fold in a minute if real cops…

Yep, I think that's pretty much what will happen — Chuck will threaten to turn Jimmy in, but maybe Jimmy gets something to threaten back with, and they will reach some kind of "settlement" where, to avoid jail, Jimmy has to agree to never again practice law under the McGill name. (And Jimmy would have to legally have…

Ding ding ding!!!

Now that you mention it, I think I saw Howard stick out a Hamlindigo'ed limb to trip up Ted Beneke…

I knew Hector wouldn't die but I was suspecting that Mike would take a shot and wound him, putting him in that wheelchair we know is in his future.

Good thing Banks didn't have a brother like Chuck telling him he'd never succeed and undermining him at every step, then!

"… whereas Walter was a fundamentally bad person who just spent the first 50 years of his life doing ok things" — that's your take on Breaking Bad?
Man, it must be frustrating to be Vince Gilligan, to create such a masterwork, and then have people think that that was the point. smh

You are mixing apples and oranges, a legal practice is not sales, and non-competes for attorneys are not done because they are void as against public policy. Still, you have a point, in that any law firm partner in that situation is going to try to keep the client, regardless of who brought it in. It's still unfair,…

Just an asshole towards right wingers? Alright then!
(But seriously, it seems to be "liberals" who want to tax and regulate things like sugar, soda, processed junk food, etc., because they believe in the power of the State above individual freedom; I'm generally against such nanny-state stuff and would like people to…
