I don't think she'll (willingly) leave behind all those, sweet, sweet Mesa Verde billables that she worked so hard to get.

Hello!

I don't think Howard's true reason for not wanting Chuck to take the stand was document delivery, it was because Howard knew or suspected all along that Chuck was nuts and could crack.

I mostly agree with your analysis, although I think one issue under the ABA rules would be, what did Kim actually "know"? Suspect, yes, infer, sure, but what does she actually "know"? She did not witness any wrongdoing, and I may be mistaken but I don't recall Jimmy ever explicitly confessing. I'm not sure that…

"I believe Chuck is motivated entirely by empathy here." That IS supposed to be a joke, right? Chuck is motivated entirely by his petty jealousy of Jimmy.

Dear gods let's hope so!!

Well, I guess this episode at least puts an end to the debate over whether Chuck is a giant flaming asshole or not.

Beautifully written piece, thank you Mr. Pang.

You are a condescending, arrogant ass. No wonder you identify so strongly with Chuck.

That's a fair point, all I'm trying to say is that just because we know someone will not die does not necessarily rob scenes of tension. I do agree with your point about wishing that the Mike and Jimmy/Saul storylines were more intertwined, though; while I've enjoyed both, I've been surprised at how separate they've…

No, Chuck put himself in the hospital… because he is fucking crazy. How does this fact keep getting lost on people?

Jesus Christ, why does anyone care who literally, physically put the note on the windshield? The point is that it was Gus Fring's doing. Obviously. 100% obvious.
Can't wait until next season!

"Chuck isn't perfect," you are kidding, right?? I mean I've heard that Stalin was sometimes less than polite too, but I figured that was just mean-spirited gossip.
You do realize that Chuck is a horrible human being and utter asshole, right?

^^^ Well, you gotta give this troll a little credit, at least he didn't call him a "looser."
What's funny, though, of course, is that back in the day, people like troll-guy here often complained about how slow BB was and how nothing ever happened, LOL. They only got on the bandwagon in the last two seasons, when they…

And that Judgebot better have been made in 'Merica, otherwise no way we're confirming it to the bench!

I agree that many of us viewers could see it coming — I was literally putting my hands over my face and saying "No, Jimmy, shut up!!" — but it was entirely plausible that Jimmy would not see it coming. I mean, he just witnessed Chuck going into a self-induced coma — dare I say fugue state? — over electricity; the…

I knew it would never happen because he's too great a villain, but I was so hoping that Chuck's face plant to the copy shop counter edge was going to kill him.

I like this line of thought, I do, but really Jimmy would be fucked. Leave aside the confession, arguable or not, and think about all the *other* circumstantial evidence: Jimmy had motive (to help Kim), access (keys to the house), opportunity (while Chuck was zonked out), knowledge of legal documents, and forgery…

You are being far, far too charitable towards Chuck. He IS the villain, has been since he betrayed Jimmy last season. He's an utter prick. The fact that the show humanized him and made him multi-dimensional speaks to the quality of the writing, but does not detract from Chuck being a horrid douche.

Pancakes or else! And REAL bacon! And Raisin Bran CRUNCH. IT says "Crunch" right on the box!
