When Mike/Saul have their split in season 3 of BB, it's not the kind of split that suggests a betrayal between friends. I think the writers have been very careful to walk that line where the two find each other useful but exasperating, so as not to contradict the way they fall out later.

CBJSprague24 posted:That's not the tape. I wonder if it would actually be better for Chuck if Jimmy did destroy the tape? Howard (and, possibly, the PI) have already heard it and can testify as to its contents, and with the tape destroyed there would be no way that Jimmy could try to pretend it wasn't his voice on the tape. Do the contents of the tape even matter if Jimmy is charged with destroying evidence?

God I loving hate Chuck. I don't think Saul is a great guy either but I cannot stand Chuck. Just that type of personality, combined with the judgmental, holier-than-thou attitude.

I think Jimmy could still play this as a "I said those things so you wouldn't go off the deep end and I wouldn't have to put you in a home" and then him being upset that it was recorded to use against him. He could get in trouble for the breaking an entering, but that could be excused that Jimmy was concerned about Chuck's well being. That is believable as Chuck just recently turned his house into a weather balloon. Breaking into the desk and destroying the tape, I don't know.

Kim leaves New Mexico in the last episode, ready to start a new life at a prestigious New York firm. She boards her plane, and sits next to a sweet little girl with a fear of flying, who clutches a pink teddy bear. Kim talks to her and assures her that nothing will go wrong, and even though sometimes bad things happen you can't let the possibility bother you. The plane ascends into the air, but there is a terrible accident shortly after take off when a distracted air traffic controller fails to clear their flightpath. There are no survivors.

Cnut the Great posted:He could try, but it would be really really difficult. Basically impossible to convince a jury. Unless you tip the scales a bit. Not especially, to be honest. In a theoretical trial, Chuck's mental illness is going to come up and it is so blatantly psychosomatic (and could be proven as such by experts) that Jimmy will be able to make a very, very convincing case that he made the whole thing up in an attempt to unfuck a mentally disturbed individual. Sadly most people hear 'mental illness' and think full blown lunatic so Chuck's credibility is out the window. While Jimmy could be in trouble for B&E, lets be honest. He is a white lawyer, the victim was his estranged family. He'd see a suspended sentence with community service if Chuck is lucky. Frankly his behavior actually helps him in some ways. If he'd snuck in to steal it, he'd be hosed. But this was a man pissed off that his brother conned him, and used an electrical device in the process. People would be more sympathetic to Jimmy than to chuck.

They're perfect at destroying each other. Edit: I love Gus's face when he fishes out the container. He must take plastic out of the trash can 30 times a day.

Emotions were running high for Jimmy so I understand why he didn't consider it. But man if only he leveraged the legendary private eye he knows that he has a favor in the bank for to get that tape. Speaking of which, has Mike slept in like, 3 days?

This has probably been mentioned before, or some of you realized this in the past, but I personally just realized that it's probably no coincidence that Michael McKean is on this show. Just like Bryan Cranston's casting was helped by Vince Gilligan having met him on the X-Files episode Drive, Gilligan helped write a two-part X-Files episode called Dreamland that Michael McKean guest stars very prominently in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamland_(The_X-Files)

Hey, someone give me a refresher, it's been too long since S2. Why does Mike hate and want to kill Hector again? That was put on the backburner because of the Gus stuff but I forget why he was in the desert with the rifle in the first place.

I think it was from Mike helping Nacho out, it involved getting rid of Tuco, Mike gets Tuco put away for possession of a gun, so Hector telks Mike to say the gun was Mike's and not Tuco's. Hector threatens Mike's family via the twins. Mike being a family man hates that poo poo, so he's willing to put down Hector for good. Except he was told "Don't". Now I'm wondering if Nacho dies before the BB timeline gets set up

Episode 2 was much better than episode 1, although I think Mike shadowing that guy for 15 minutes was not worth the payoff that we all knew was coming of the reveal of Gus. The rest of the episode was top quality though.
