[QUOTE=RG4ORDR;50122709][sp]AFAIK even if you wanna go with kinda accidental shooting, he hits jaw on the table not his head.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]he definitely doesn't hit his jaw on the table go back to that scene and pause it right before impact. http://i.imgur.com/iAsTAie.png[/sp] [sp]that also makes for a hilarious reaction image[/sp]

[QUOTE=HTS CONNER;50127089][sp]he definitely doesn't hit his jaw on the table go back to that scene and pause it right before impact. http://i.imgur.com/iAsTAie.png[/sp] [sp]that also makes for a hilarious reaction image[/sp][/QUOTE] They talked about how they pulled this off in the podcast. [sp]They attached him to some kind of support string and put padding on the counter and the floor. The team was afraid it would hurt Michael McKean so the stunt guy taught the director (Peter Gould I think) to do it himself and he was like "yeah, this is fine" and they let McKean do it[/sp]
I really hope [sp]Chuck isn't dead yet[/sp]. Despite being a [sp]manipulative asshole[/sp] he is one of my favorite characters in the show because you can see that deep down [sp]he actually cares for Jimmy, but he is at the same time fed up with Slippin' Jimmy bullshit. He kept Mesa Verde in a somewhat scummy monologue, but by playing by the rules, but Jimmy fucked it up for him by taking advantage of his mental illness.[/sp] Still though, [sp]Chuck is an asshole and in many ways responsible for the bullshit Jimmy continues to pull as highlighted by what Kim said to him so I can't really feel totally bad for the guy.[/sp]
I know that [sp]chuck is legally in the right but I just can't be on his side for exactly the reasons kim said[/sp] this show is fantastic at having the characters not beat around the bush and say exactly what's on the audience's mind and exactly what the other characters need to hear, & [sp]kim's monologue[/sp] was a perfect example of that. there is not a single unnecessary line in this show
[sp]I honestly have no sympathy for Chuck because he always goes out of his way to shoot Jimmy down. However I felt shitty about what happened at the end because I would of been devastated if anything like that happened to one of my brothers. Like sure you may not get along and see things differently sometimes but at the end of the day they're still family.[/sp] tldr: this season hit the feels pretty hard for me when it comes to family.
I've grown to like [sp]Chuck a bit more this series. He's still an asshole but I can understand why, if you had to put up with your con-artist brother for 40 years you might not think he was capable of change. It was scummy of Jimmy to take advantage of his illness and leave him uncared for while tampering with legal documents, so by the end of the episode I felt like I was on everyone's side.[/sp]
[sp]This is probably going to be some sort of moral test for Jimmy, now that his harmless fun has finally become harmful. The inevitable hospital scene next episode is probably going to be powerful drama.[/sp]
[QUOTE=bradleigh;50116775][sp]kinda half-expected chuck to go crazy and kill the clerk or seriously injure him or something like he would just boil up and snap from all the intensity of his ailment and the clerk's refusal to cooperate and grab a pen or an xacto knife and just take it to him is that me just being crazy? i mean, crazy unexpected shit has happened in breaking bad[/sp][/QUOTE] I was honestly hoping that'd happen, everything would've gone far better for the characters we're rooting for if it did. What actually happened is clearly the reason why [sp]the end of Jimmy and Kim, and the start of Saul Goodman[/sp]

He cares about Chuck so much, but Chuck just wants Jimmy to get out of his life.[/sp] [editline]13th April 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Bread_Baron;50127814]I've grown to like [sp]Chuck a bit more this series.

I'm not saying what Chuck does is excusable, but it is understandable.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Saturn V;50124513]people seriously fucking think ernie is gus' son/nephew i hate these people i really do[/QUOTE] Not gonna lie, [sp]when Jimmy was spying on Ernie in the copy shop and you could only see the back of Ernie's head, I thought it was Gus for a second[/sp]
I'd be disappointed if Ernesto is Gus's relative. I always figured Gus was alone in the world and that's what made him the way he was.
Not saying that they are related or that I want them to be, it's just that I'm a gigantic racist who thinks all black people look alike.
[QUOTE=Swiket;50128667]Not saying that they are related or that I want them to be, it's just that I'm a gigantic racist who thinks all black people look alike.[/QUOTE] Granted, they're both lanky men of color with short hair and glasses who dress pretty similarly. There's only a handful of not-white characters in the Breaking Bad universe to begin with anyway

Didn't his house have toys in the background, when walt(or was it jesse) visited for dinner? [/sp]

Were any of the Breaking Bad seasons written with the thought of creating Better Call Saul later on in mind?
[QUOTE=MrFlashcat;50129342]Were any of the Breaking Bad seasons written with the thought of creating Better Call Saul later on in mind?[/QUOTE] Maybe it was just a thought in the back of the head or something
Yeah I don't think they specifically wrote anything with the idea of having it fit into a Saul spin-off, but they knew they wanted to do one.
[QUOTE=MrFlashcat;50129342]Were any of the Breaking Bad seasons written with the thought of creating Better Call Saul later on in mind?[/QUOTE] I hope not.
[QUOTE=MrFlashcat;50129342]Were any of the Breaking Bad seasons written with the thought of creating Better Call Saul later on in mind?[/QUOTE] If anything it would have been callbacks to specific scenes, not seasons. Like the parallel with Mike [sp]ripping off the cartel, leaving the witness then having Nacho confront him about it[/sp] pairing with [sp]planning the train heist in BB.

[sp]There's a pretty big spoiler in the Breaking Bad Wiki's Character section, right on the front page. Can you find it? http://breakingbad.wikia.com/wiki/Breaking_Bad_Wiki[/sp]

Anyone else feel like we're on the verge of an imminent time-skip? Two seasons in and barely any time has passed. Maybe the events of the next episode will close the chapter and we'll jump a few years closer to the events of Breaking Bad.
