Yeah that was great. **** Chuck.

A lot of stuff happened on that last show. I admired Howard. I'm so glad to see Chuck gone. I couldn't understand why Kim is giving up.

But the biggest thing about the show to me was Jimmy's handling of the old biddies. Did he really sabotage his payday? I couldn't tell if the settlement was moving forward or not. If not, I've lost a lot of respect for Jimmy. For as smart and cunning as he is, he can be a pussy when it matters the most.

Chucks last words to Jimmy was basically, you are a scoundrel, stop apologizing for it, I'd have more respect for you if you just embraced your conman self.

Probably going full fledged Saul Goodman here shortly. We've already seen a little transformation so far.

Hope we see more of Nacho. I love his character. Fantastic actor whoever that guy is.

WW had his good moments too.

Are we ever going to see Badger? I loved that guy. If I recall, that was who advised Jesse of Saul Goodman in the 1st place.

Is it just me, or do you feel the kicking of the table was too drawn out? I fail to see the purpose. Maybe if Chuck's condition had created ticks and spasms before (it always seemed to paralyze him), could I see the purpose behind the drawn out scene, but it felt like it was filler and served no other true purpose.

Bash away.

But that said, there is absolutely no weak link in casting for BCS.

Everyone has just been phenomenal in their roles and it's mesmerizing to see all of the back stories of even tertiary characters like Lydia Rodarte-Quayle.

It's going to be a blast to binge watch Breaking Bad after Saul's run is over.

I'm running through BB between episodes of BCS, and it is astounding to see how differently I think of Saul now vs. when I originally watched BB. It has put an entirely different spin on a series I already admired greatly.

I was surprised at how big her butt was. :shake:

One is a sociopath—the one who does bad things and doesn't feel bad about it.
No conscience or any self-reflection.

What caused Chuck to snap and end it?

Neither Jimmy or Chuck are sociopaths. They both walk a grey line but they're not engaged in criminal activity.

Manipulation? Sure.

Chuck wasn't evil. He was an asshole. Jimmy isn't evil but he's often very self serving although he's shown more compassion than Chuck ever did by helping Kim.

But in the end, neither are sociopaths.

All his efforts backfired and in the end he was left with nothing to control or conquer.

No battles with Jimmy
No relationship with him to dispense judgment
No battles with Howard
Bluff called on the ouster suit, at personal expense to his partner, demonstrating just how unwelcome his continued presence was.
No battles with malpractice underwriters
No battles with the electricity coursing through his house.
Every connection had been severed [literally and figuratively] and no one was left to battle, judge or defeat.

I'm just really glad that Rhea is getting this opportunity to be lauded for both her beauty and her talent.

She's always been attractive, but her particular look has typecast her as the bitchy WASPy friend. She was in a string of dire sitcoms bitching about her ex-boyfriend and her painful shoes for laughs. Then she came in as the foil in the last season of Franklin and Bash.

She's one of those you see and say 'I HATE this show, but I hope she gets better work later.'
