Maybe we'll see him again in a few years!

He's not necessarily unable to see "right and wrong" as defined by a layperson, but he seems pretty much incapable of understanding the culture of big law firms and legal ethics.

…well, sure, but good lawyers prefer to break the law, oh, I don't know, *never*. It's like saying, "Jeffrey Dahmer's instances of killing and eating people were very few and far between. What about all those times he *didn't* eat people?"

This is why I empathize with Chuck more than most people here seem to. Imagine how it would feel if you were good at your job, and very serious about ethics and propriety, and then boom, here's your brother, Saul Goodman, with his squat cobbler. I don't necessarily like Chuck, but I see where he's coming from.

Does that work with the timeline?

I assume that's why Saul gets a new name.

I don't like Chuck much, but I think the show is doing a great job at selling why he is how he is, and making him a situational antagonist, not a bad guy. Say you're a doctor and you have a brother who also wants to be a doctor, but refuses to wash his hands before he goes rooting around in patients. How are you going…

On the positive side, I feel like Odenkirk is doing a good job at making Jimmy seem slightly younger than Saul. It would be easy to overplay the slightly-more-boyish mannerisms, but Odenkirk is knocking it out of the park. And it's not an issue for Banks, because Mike was born 70.

I was also a kid who didn't know shit, and that episode really screwed with my head. Like, never mind Hennessey dying—-*an episode of "Law & Order" where the people just go about their days and there's no case of the week*? I think they'd quasi-broken from the format once before—-wasn't there an episode that was all…

I've been so heavily exposed to the Skyler-haters of Reddit that I always think my handful of friends and I are the only people who have good opinions about "Breaking Bad", and am pleasantly surprised when someone on the internet doesn't love Walt. So then I go back to my friends and I'm all, "Hey, buddy! Do you post…

When I read this article, my first thought was, "I wanted to stop watching 'Breaking Bad' when Mike died, but then I didn't because I thought Mike might appear in some flashbacks." Then I thought, "Hey, I should go to the comments and make a joke about how I quit watching 'Breaking Bad' when Walt died. …but, wait, no,…

Duh…oh.

Thanks, Benevenstanciano!

I had absolutely no idea that this was a song. I thought it was just a sound effect that a lot of movies used.

Why can't he be as loyal to Saul as he was to his last quasi-TV brother, a man named Squiggy?

I don't know, it was fairly obvious to me that Mike's new…client?…would be Nacho. How would Gus know who he was to ask for him by name? Also, it seems like asking a shady veterinarian to recruit a specific ex-cop to do your killing for you is pretty far from Gus's usual hide-in-plain-sight chicken-restaurant-manager…

It struck me as realistic. In my experience, guys like that (by whom I mean "anyone who could be played by Ed Begley Jr.") are all sweetness and light right until you step out of line, but Mr. Hyde is always ready to come out.

They are really nailing the realism of the prestigious/pretentious law firm. Ed Begley Jr., Lenny, Kim, Erin…all note-perfect. On a lesser show, they'd play up the snootiness and have them be much more overtly mean to Saul with much less reason. But as it is? I can totally picture Lenny carrying a legal drama as the…

He wouldn't have received approval for this. Not from Ed Begley Jr. Maybe from Ed Begley Sr., but that wasn't what Ed Begley he was dealing with. So he was hoping that he'd be forgiven after Ed Begley Jr. saw how many clients the ad brought in.

Agreed. Richie does absolutely nothing for me, and Jamie is the only interesting character.
