Cojawfee posted:I'm thinking Chuck is saying it has to be a secret to keep Ernesto from bringing it up to Jimmy. It seems like Chuck deliberately set it up so he would hear that part exactly, though, but if he doesn't want Jimmy to somehow hear about the tape I'm not sure yet why he'd want to do that.

Yeah, it did seem suspect that it was set to exactly that moment where Jimmy confesses. It could be that Chuck wants Ernesto to bring it up to someone.

With how calculating Chuck has been about this whole thing, it wouldn't surprise me if his panicked spiel about confidentiality was designed to get Ernesto to talk and start muddying the waters around Jimmy, but it's questionable how he could guarantee Ernesto would trigger the play button by changing the batteries on the recorder.

The play button was pressed and the recorder was facing down so Ernesto wouldn't see it.

One of the several reasons I personally was a little confused about the gas caps is because I was assuming it was original put there on the burner car at the same time the horn honking happened, so the car switch made no sense.

Chuck even did a little hell yeah flip with the wooden tongs or whatever that thing is he uses to interact with the tape recorder after Ernesto had left. Dude knows Ernie lied to him in the hospital to cover for Jimmy being at the coffee shop, remember? He wants Ernie to freak out and go to Jimmy. ...I think if Hamlin ever finds out that Chuck is roping the kid who has to deal with all his brokebrained bullshit into his crazy gambit that that's going to be the moment where he decides to cut Chuck loose. I can't imagine he signed onto this plan.

Chuck wants Jimmy to do something really stupid that he can catch him red-handed in once Jimmy hears about the tape. Jimmy will hear about the tape because Ernesto's loyalties have always swung closer to Jimmy than Chuck.

Both plot threads involved tricking someone into changing out a battery. Chuck was deceiving Ernie as much as Mike was deceiving whoever was tracking him. Sort of annoyed that I get to be worried about Gene all season now. I doubt he died but he's probably sick or something.

drunken officeparty posted:I know the answer is "because the tv people don't want to do it", but couldn't that tape get Saul disbarred at least? It doesn't need to be criminally provable to do that as far as I know I'm not sure about state law but in Calfornia, not only could it not be used like that, Chuck could literally be brought up on charges for a concealed recording. Longbaugh01 posted:Chuck wants Jimmy to do something really stupid that he can catch him red-handed in once Jimmy hears about the tape.

I loved the subtle detail of him seeing Chuck having a hard time and trying to duck out of sight before being called.

Anyone feels like theorising about Gene fainting? It seemed to be stress related, but I'm sure there are weird theories out there. E: here's one to get started: Walt poisoned Saul with ricin. By popular demand fucked around with this message at 22:34 on Apr 11, 2017 |

In some states it'd be fine, only one party in a conversation needs to consent to recording, in this case Chuck, and I think New Mexico is one of those places and this was looked up last season...yeah, and in fact with an in-person conversation consent isn't necessary at all in New Mexico BUT this is from a law from 2012, not 2002, which I'm having a difficult time finding information for.

Around here (Georgia) it's legal for one party to record a conversation without the other party's consent. BUT, it's considered unethical for a lawyer to do it, and some Court's won't allow a recording made by a lawyer into evidence.

So long as we can differentiate between character and actor there's no problem. Now watch some rear end in a top hat on 4chan threaten to kill Michael McKean IRL.

Add me to the list of people who could sit and watch Mike potter around like a baleful gnome tinkering with stuff and playing headgames with the Gus's minions in silence all episode. Also his youtube channel needs to review different brands of pimento cheese. Which gets the Ehrmantraut seal of approval? Like and subscribe to find out.
