US: Better Call Saul

I don't want to like Kim so much. It's going to make the inevitable heartbreak/relationship breakdown/horrific backstabbing all the more painful.

Is that what will happen?

I'm going into it with the she'll end up being killed over one of these 'marks' she does with Jimmy.

I think we're getting dangerously close to seeing Saul now.

I thought for a minute he was going to say it last night.

Glanza · 30 Mar 2016 at 16:27

Rather surprised by how light hearted the scene was whilst he was trying to get fired.

Ayahuasca · 30 Mar 2016 at 17:45

I wonder how long they drag it out with him and Kim, can see it going south fairly fast.

Damn chuck, I could suffocate that old **** with his space blanket.

Anyone else impressed with the full continuous shot at the start? Around 3 minutes worth of no cuts.

What's Mike cooking up eh? That scene with the veteran was hilarious.

I get the feeling we're going to see how Hector Salamanca ends up in the wheelchair due to whatever Mike is planning and it goes bad i.e stray bullet in the back = paralyzed.

Interesting theory, I hope that is the case.

I am enjoying this more and more each week. God I hope they run it for a good while.

I don't, or at least I hope they don't drag it out. Doubtful mind, the pacing was perfect on BB.

I was thinking the same.

Yeah. I was thinking the exact same thing as the camera panned through the inspection warehouse. I wonder if they used a wheelchair for the shot?

I don't understand why Chuck is so determined to *** things up for Jimmy and anyone close to him. He willing to overcome his "sickness" to ruin them. What has made him hate Jimmy so much, they are brothers does family not mean anything?? The Dad thing is one thing but is this hatred come from pure jealousy or something more. I thought he would physically harm Chuck after what he did but he found a even better way.

I hope HHM goes under!!

Uh...do you pay attention at all?

Jimmy stole $14k from his own family and indirectly caused the death of their father.

Chuck worked his butt off to become a highly respected lawyer and a partner of a firm, and Jimmy got his law degree through an online program; Jimmy thought that made them peers, when it seems like it made Chuck almost embarrassed to be in the same profession as Jimmy.

Jimmy's methods/morals are shady at best, which are the complete opposite of Chuck's "straight as an arrow/the law is sacred" personality.

Jimmy has also just basically become a boss at a law firm, so once again like the law degree, Chuck might take it as another thing that he had to work his butt off to achieve, but Jimmy just does this on a whim and thinks "now we're equals" sort of thing.

Jimmy may be the main character in this series, but he's a deeply flawed character.
