That it managed to break enough skin to cause a LITTLE bleeding isn't at all surprising. Yeah, I had one go off and blood was gushing from my nose and I had several cuts on my head, not sure if it was the glass or the airbag.

RedSpider posted:How in the gently caress do you start liking Chuck at the end of season 3? He's a mentally piece of poo poo that is costing HHM large sums of money and its reputation. Howard was completely rational when he told Chuck to quit. It's actually Howard that is becoming an interesting character. I can see him being more sympathetic the more you understand his condition He's still unhinged and has been a great source of stress for his loved ones, but his clinical illness may be to blame for his antagonism towards Jimmy (even though he held resentment before his "EHS"). Worse, he's actually right about most of his accusations leveled at Jimmy, but they only bolster the argument that he is a complete whackjob, because nobody trusts him anymore. Kim's moral compass actually allows her to feel guilty about it too, since she's completely in the know, and is also brilliant. But disloyalty is gross to average people, so watching Chuck act maliciously towards someone who has been there for him for the better part of two years is treacherous in most people's eyes. At this point, Chuck is mostly a danger to himself. He's probably going to burn his own house down

The thing I can't forgive Chuck for is making Hamlin and Jimmy fight each other. He made a situation that was more stressful to his partner and brother than it was to him. He's a weak rear end in a top hat.

Michael McKean, along with the writing, have done an excellent job at portraying his condition. Without that combination it would be almost impossible to feel bad for Chuck.

When they're paying off the fallguy to go to jail as 'Heisenburg' so Badger can plead out, he even tells Walt something like "morality is expensive". I have a bad feeling about his Sandpiper payout

I don't think Chuck is the good guy in all of this, but I absolutely am eager to see the diabolical lengths he'll go to to screw over Howard and HHM with his super lawyer skills at maximum effectiveness. However, I also have a feeling he'll actually just end up self-imploding completely by the end of next episode because he'll go too far too fast in trying overcome his fear of electricity.

Out of curiosity, did anyone else see the accident coming before Kim even left? I can't tell what foreshadowing was triggering it in my mind, but for some reason during their conversation in the office I immediately guessed she was going to get into a bad accident. I thought it might be worse honestly. I think it was Jimmy mentioning to drive faster, her not sleeping and being so rushed, and her saying to just talk to her later. Not sure really. It just seemed really weird that I almost immediately knew where the scene was going?

I'm still not convinced that the oil firm would be that pissed at Kim specifically unless he suddenly turn out to be a major jerk. Frustrated and angry in general if they miss the deadline though? Sure. But as I recall, he was facing being screwed by the taxman no matter what before Kim stepped in and proposed a possible way out. Her failing to see that through because she got in a car crash doesn't result in anything that wouldn't have happened anyway if she'd never gotten involved.

It wasn't just a meeting with the oilman. It was a meeting with all the rights-holders to present his proposal to pay damages instead of paying for mineral rights. He's going to be embarrassed in front of the entire group of people that he needs to sign on to the deal. Having wasted their time, even negotiating for mineral rights will be much more difficult. He's going to be ruined, and rightfully angry.

One thing that is also different between Saul and Jimmy is that Saul doesn't get his hands dirty. He does try to persuade Walt to have some people murdered. But that's a very hands-off approach. He's a guy who knows a guy who can do the job for you IF that's the job YOU want done. If someone gets hurt because of something he suggested, it's not really "his fault", the decision lies with his clients, and he just looks the other way. It's a moral grey area. Dark grey, but... I would be surprised if Saul actually hires anyone to kill anyone during the course of this series.

Kim also could have hired a courier service to deliver all of that paperwork to the meeting so that it would have been there even if she wasn't. The earlier scene where her car gets stuck in the desert is highlighting the fact that her insistence on handling everything herself and refusing to ask for help is pushing the stakes higher and higher for when she eventually screws up.

oliwan posted:So I guess Jimmy's settlement money, if it goes through, will be used to cover Kim's (medical) bills? And I'd be willing to bet that something fucks up with the Sandpiper thing/Irene, and that money doesn't come through... thus causing Jimmy to resort to more illegal means of getting by. Then, when he's able to practice law (or if he's able to do some sort of early work as Saul Goodman... did we figure out if that's possible?), he'll be the Criminal lawyer we all know.

Yes, the other option I was thinking about, is that Irene drops the suit altogether. This was quite heavily alluded to in Irene's chat with Jimmy, in which she says that she wished that the suit would never have taken place at all.

Colonel Whitey posted:Hey law people, could Jimmy legally handle the administrative aspects of Kim's work? He wouldn't be practicing law, just helping Francesca make copies and file papers and mail stuff and whatnot I know a guy whose law license is "inactive". He still does do work for legal firms (administrative, as you put it). He just can't act as a lawyer. The question for Jimmy would be if he would respect those rules. And this episode clearly shows he does not. I really believe he was illegally practicing law in this episode. He didn't come out and say "in my legal opinion", but that was definitely how he presented himself to former clients.

It shouldn't be a surprise but Jimmy making old ladies cry is just the beginning according to the writer of the episode. https://www.forbes.com/sites/allens...y/#2bed1975bb83 quote:Do you worry about how much goodwill you’ll have lost? It's interesting that the writer refers to Saul as being dead inside. This is going to be Walt all over again. Imagine what Jimmy is going to do worse than this.

Maybe all writers do that but this show and BB are the only shows where I've heard the writers talk about the show.

Gossiping about an old lady behind her back is not practicing law. He was very careful to keep it at personal/social advice. Also I guess I'm the only one who didn't think what Jimmy did to Irene was all that mean? I mean, her friends are almost certainly going to go back to liking her after she settles, and what he did doesn't just help himself, it helps all of the old people represented by giving them their money and some time to actually spend it before they die.

If they had financial issues they could've spoken to Irene about it. Giving her the Amish cold shoulder is nearly the least mature way to handle their concerns. Jimmy is still playing his cons on already corrupt people. He's still an rear end in a top hat, though.
