So is that it for Vince Gilligan this season - before he ran away to HBO?
A lot to love about this episode, even though parts of it were quite ham-fisted. [sp]The interview scene was great, I enjoyed how rocking chair Jimmy was juxtaposed with professional Kim. The McGill half of their logo being "a little crooked" was a little heavy-handed but it worked. Everything with Mike was a treat, including Jimmy's scene where he's totally oblivious to Gus working his way from the background to the foreground. It was telling how Chuck said Jimmy would break in at night because "I know my brother", then Jimmy stormed in during broad daylight. And Victor is back I guess.[/sp]

wait whats up with this? plz dont tell me he's leaving the series or whatever.
fantastic first two episodes. i absolutely love mike's parts. the way they manage to tell a story with next to no dialogue, just a slow burn with some killer music.
also, fuck chuck
[sp]they are a witness at best to him breaking and entering, and maybe threatening.[/sp]
Also, fuck chuck.

Found the source.
[QUOTE]Gould took on the mantle of sole showrunner this season, after Gilligan stepped back mid-run to focus on his HBO limited series about cult leader Jim Jones. But the season still bears Gilligan’s handiwork; he co-wrote the first episode with Gould, and he directed the first two hours.
“Obviously he’s still very much part of the show, but it’s a different experience after having worked together side-by-side for 10 years,” says Gould.
Though this transition was planned since the show’s debut, Gilligan admits he misses being part of the day-to-day. “Stepping away has been kind of tough on me,” he says. “The plan is for me to come back as soon as I’m done [with the HBO series], at least for the final season.”[/QUOTE]

Thank God, thought I was the only person who didn't 100% follow this scene.
did they ask edgar wright to film that kim montage?
Weekly Fuck Chuck
I smiled when I heard my man Todd Terje in Kim's morning montage.

Vince has got a great taste in music.
[sp]i'm glad that kim hasn't broken up with jimmy after all of this but i know the end is coming eventually :( [/sp]
[sp]Ten bucks Chuck is going to die similar to how jimmy described.
Alone in a hospital bed with no one to care for him.[/sp]

[sp]I saw a theory someone came up with that since Kim is from Kansas (Kansas City Royals Jersey), Jimmy's goal was to get placed in Omaha, Nebraska in hopes of running into her, since there are some minor league kansas teams that practice there.[/sp]

[sp]The fact that episode 10 is named Lantern, and all of the close up shots of gas lamps makes me think the the house is going to burn down.
Chuck will develop fire sensitivity[/sp]
Dunno if it was intentional but in episode 2 [sp]Kim says to Jimmy "give me a dollar, I'm your lawyer now" which is what Jimmy says to Walt and Jesse in BB[/sp]
[QUOTE=Teddybeer;52152228][sp]Chuck really fucked himself over with the grudge, like Jimmy was about to go legit and do the stuff he likes besides scamming.[/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]but he was only able to do that because he intentionally broke the law - which you know chuck as a character is unable to let go, just as he can't let his faked electromagnetic field fear go [/sp]
I think the writers and Chuck actor do a great job of making you hate the character, the lines themselves are a-ok, but what really gives Chuck the scumery and credibility is the actor, props to him.
This show has painted a very bizarre picture of two extremes.
[sp]Chuck is a human personification of the fickle nature of law and order. He will do anything to make sure the course of his interpretation of justice runs smoothly. Ironically as the show progresses, you realise he uses then disposes of people in an orderly fashion, as if punishing these third parties are oiling the wheels of an orderly society. "Discipline" if you will.
This part stood out the most when you hear he chewed and spat out is young man servant just to get back at his brother. or the time he punished Jim's girlfriend for being involved with him. Both actions "Legally" in his right to do so, yet immoral all the same.
Saul is a human personification on how man can break the system while having minimal losses for society as a whole. Forging tapes to keep a wimp out of prison. Faking accidents for free advertisements. And stolen honour to turn an army base into a film set.
While most these actions are illegal, the context makes you root for Saul as you know the Law/Chuck having its own way would still be a shitty outcome on everyone.
These lines sums it up best.
Chuck: "Life isn't about, lets make a deal"
Saul: "Of course it is!"
As this season goes on Chuck will be trying to screw Saul in any way he knows he can legally get away with. And Saul might begin to do harder crimes to stay out of trouble.[/sp]

[sp] I really hope she'll hate his guts after some moral dilemma (likely involving Chuck) and just sever all ties with him. If she dies I'll be fucking pissed off no matter how they do it.[/sp]
I've always thought that Better Call Saul's first two seasons were stronger than Breaking Bad's first two, but I felt that interest would wane as the show went on as I was more interested in the plot and characters of Breaking Bad.
But, three episodes in, and season 3 has been my favorite season of BCS yet. I have high hopes that I may actually walk away from this show more satisfied than I was with BrBa.

[sp] I'm sure she won't die, as much as I'm sure Chuck WILL die. These flash forwards have to be leading to something, and a reunion with Kim, even if bittersweet, would do just fine. [/sp]
Everything that's happening to jimmy is purely Chucks fault simply because he was butthurt that jimmy was actually trying to do something for himself in law.
The only reason he's spinning out of control and criminalizing himself is because chuck is a piece of shit who doesn't think jimmy is legitimate.
did anyone else have a hard time remembering what happened in season 2?
the seasons for this show are so short (only 10 episodes compared to the usual 13 episodes for breaking bad) and the wait between seasons is so long. i barely remember what led to the conflict between [sp]Mike and Hector Salamanca[/sp], or what the role of Nacho was

yeah i'm spending a lot of time watching the new episodes going "ohh yeah right that happened" when previous events get mentioned
Pretty sure this seasons climax is gonna be Chuck getting cross examined by Jimmy and Jimmy outsmarting him. Just a feeling.
Just watched the latest episode. [sp]Ernesto is the hero Albuquerque deserves, hope things turn out okay for him.[/sp]
[sp]the brutality of what jimmy said to chuck about dying alone felt like one of those ONLY HEISLENBORG moments from breaking bad to me. i react quite adversely to things (perks of a student house) and it made me fucking run downstairs whooping "OH SHIT, OH FUCKING SHIT, YOU GUYS HAVE TO SEE THIS"[/sp]
Damn, that Mike's operation was some Bullseye/Deadshot level of skill.
[sp]Nice to see Steven Bauer again[/sp]
[Sp]fuck chuck[/sp]
I honestly thought Don Eladio was the [URL="http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/920/736/619.jpg"]"just fuck my shit up" guy [/URL] for a moment when I first saw him
