I love this show. I love Chuck calling out Perry Mason confessions and he ends up doing one. I love Huell pulling the old switcharoo. I love arts and crafts with Mike. I love Gus one-upping old man Salamanca. I love Francesca slow-burning her way to becoming Saul's world weary secretary. Love it all. Just hope that Kim makes it out of all this alive.

TwoStepBoog posted:HHM's image damaged. A lot happened even though arguably there was only one location (flashback doesn't count). What should've been a bottle episode ended up feeling like it was non-stop stuff happening. Even though it didn't really help them in the end, Kim shooting down the nepotism claim was my favorite part of the episode. Hamlin just wants to go home and sleep it off. He'll have to tell Chuck they're done professionally and Chuck will end up inside a mental institution from which Jimmy can't rescue him.

Just to get this straight, Saul's in hiding because Walt was dragging everyone to hell with him? It's been so long since I've seen Breaking Bad but I don't remember the specific reason he disappeared.

Lonos Oboe posted:As for the doctoring incident. It's worth remembering that if Chuck said, "Aw poo poo, I must have made a mistake. I can't understand how it happened. But we'll fix it" He more than likely would not have lost the account. Only by his over reacting and arrogance, did Jimmy manage to screw him both times. I completely agree. I think a defining moment for him came from when he insists his paperwork was right and questioned whether the client knew their own address. His arrogance turned a simple clerical error into a huge mess. He must have been hell to work with even when he wasn't wrapped in tin foil. Lonos Oboe posted:The way the court and everyone cow-towed to Chuck's "illness" is a great way to show how important he is. It's like celebrity. And in the light that the Emperor's clothes are off Jimmy shamed Chuck, Hamlin, the court, and even himself a little for enabling Chuck's delusion to such a degree for so long. Instead of forcing him to come to terms with his delusional thinking, everyone played along with him and let him waste away as a recluse. When he first thought he had EM sensitivity I wonder if everyone was too polite to tell him he was making it up or whether they didn't want to put up with a guy who has to be right 100% of the time.

These sort of questions lead me to thinking about the logistics of mid-to-street level organized crime. How do you know who to sell drugs to? Do you just sell to people you know? Where do you hide the drugs? At what point do you need to launder money? How do you become a fence? How do fences find buyers for their stolen stuff? Is there one guy everybody knows who forges documents? Do hitmen hire themselves out or are they just one guy in a crime organization who does the lion's share of the killing? Do back-alley doctors become vets first or do they wait for retired corrupt policemen to show up on their doorstep and offer them cash for service?

Pepe Silvia Browne posted:But I like how The Vet genuinely seems to enjoy being shady as gently caress. I'd like to think if I were involved in shady dealings I'd revel in it too. I'd probably be the guy with the baseball cards and the hummer though. I think that's part of the appeal of Breaking Bad. With a little effort, you too can roll with the gangsters.

Herv posted:I think it's safe to assume that his wife finally got sick of his poo poo. His poo poo being unable to admit fault, even the slightest bit like leaving the seat up. I think so too. Chuck suffers from being an aggressively boring person and the two of them probably drifted apart. Since Chuck lets things get to him and doesn't let them go there was probably a mountain of little things he said/did that made her want to be separated. It wouldn't surprise me though if she defended or praised Jimmy during one late night conversation that ended up getting eternally stuck in his craw.

maskenfreiheit posted:I'm a little fuzzy, but IIRC maybe the ennui of not being hired at HHM may have contributed... obviously we'll never know for sure but my gut feeling is it may have put him in a different frame of mind that led to the D&M flame out Rupert Buttermilk posted:He wanted to be as effective as possible in helping out the Sandpiper residents, so he made that specific commercial and bought specific airtime so they'd see it, and he aired it... Without consulting the higher ups at all. They got pissed, Jimmy only saw the results, and realized "I prefer my way". Also from Jimmy's perspective, he's been his own boss since he started working. The only boss he's ever had (that we've seen) was his dad or Chuck and he knew he was smarter and cleverer than both of them. In his head he knew the commercial was going to work so he went into it with the excuse of "Better to ask for forgiveness than approval" and was shocked that he couldn't spin it around. One of Jimmy's defining beliefs is that the results justify the means. He brought results to Davis & Main but they cared more about putting it through the proper channels and digesting his idea into a bland announcement commercial. He brought his law degree to Chuck but Chuck cared more about going to a proper law school and suffering for your crimes instead of redeeming yourself through hard work at "The University of American Samoa." Davis & Main was stifling but it was stifling because it was grinding against who he was as a person. It's not that he always plays fast and loose all the time always, it's that he has to have the freedom to play fast and loose and cut through all the bullshit. That coworker of his who demanded the grammar of his business letters be just so and approved by her was his polar opposite. This is why Cinnabon is hell. edit: I think I'm rambling vermin fucked around with this message at 18:04 on May 18, 2017 |

Edgar Allen Ho posted:And it's easy to see why stealing from their struggling dad would embitter Chuck towards Jimmy from an early age, even if the bitterness and blame isn't entirely rational. Imagine yourself in that situation and you'd probably be pissed at Jimmy too, if you loved your dad. It's a bit of a deeper hurt than conning randoms at the bar. That's true. I have a sibling I throw shade at a lot for little things that happened when we were kids but get twisted into something bigger over time. I haven't gotten to the point of life ruining vitriol yet. I should probably give them a call and see how they're doing.

It's like in Kitchen Nightmares where there's this old restaurateur who's owned their diner for decades and runs it their way and is flabbergasted that he's actually running it into the ground. And all the employees know the restaurant is losing money and it's bullshit but the owner wants it the way he wants it even if that means innocent customers get killed in the crossfire. And then a franchise owner walks into town with a simple menu and makes hand over fist compared to the local family owned restaurants but they want to edge out the old diner owner anyway because they had their best frycook killed years earlier. What I'm saying is, there should be a TV show about a gangster who gets hired by crime bosses to fix their failing mafias.

-was a poo poo to his brother for years -drove away his wife -became a recluse and sucked the life out of Jimmy for years on sympathy -pointlessly chased the white whale -ruined his reputation, and the reputations of his peers -willing to ruin everything he'd ever built for his own ego -forcing a good hard-working man to go into enormous debt -told his brother he never loved him -destroyed his house, the last thing he really had -and finally set himself on fire In case anybody asked, the theme of the show is "self-destruction"

Melisandre will bring him back with no consequences. They will then go on to conquer Hamlin & Hamlin with a starving divided thoroughly routed army of lawyers who've been fighting and dying to legal battles for years. The baseball card guy will inexplicably crown himself king of the New Mexican cartels and they will be fine with it. And Mike will drive the 20 minutes it takes to get to Germany from the North American southwest to get revenge on some guy from Breaking Bad season 1.
