Such a wonderful episode of TV. Michael McKean is amazing.

strawberry floating amazing stuff. You could feel that coming and it was so satisfying when it did.

Also I've just realised that the actor playing Jimmy is the same one who played Saul Goodman in breaking bad!

I have never been more excited by a court room scene in any other show. Only slight disappointment is how under used Mike's photos were.

Everything about that episode was fantastic.

Huell. :wub:

I think Jimmy will feel bad about breaking his brother like that, but Chuck really left him no choice. Crazy piece of gooseberry fool bastard. Absolutely wonderful acting though.

It was a wonderful shot at the end of Chuck looking uncomfortably at the exit signs after telling everybody that they didn't bother him because of the inverse square law. :lol: Yet another law that Chuck strawberry floated up with. ;)

I wonder if they might reconsider Chucks law licence now having seen he has a clear and debilitating mental illness?

I think so and imagine this is where things start to go really badly wrong for Chuck.

My prediction is (spoiler based on season finale episode title): Chuck will die in a fire at his house. They have shown a few times that he uses fire in the house (candles and lanterns) and that it is full of paperwork. He will either accidentally or purposely knock over a lantern and go up in smoke. The final season episode is called “Lantern”….

Has there been any word of a fourth season? I imagine given how good this is it will keep going a little longer yet and the core is definitely the relationship between Jimmy and Chuck. If it loses that it loses a big part of what makes this so good.

I would imagine they want to do at least a season with Saul Goodman at the core and I can’t see Kim or Chuck being around for that. They are also building up Mike’s relationship with Gus and the cartel. Plus there are the flashforwards to Jimmy post BB.

I haven’t heard if a fourth season has been announced, but there’s no doubt they are building to it.

I reckon chuck will top himself and Jimmy will inherit some money, which he'll use to start his own place after he screws up his wexler mcgill thing.

That's a good shout. They've mentioned the lantern on top of newspapers multiple times, now.

Yep, although I think this show will throw some sort of a curveball in for those that guess where it is headed. Maybe Chuck will burn the place down while Kim is there, causing Jimmy to break down and then fully become Saul.

The Jimmy storyline has always been so much more interesting to me than the Mike/cartel one so this episode was a particular season high point for me. So good.

What a brilliant episode. I'm not usually one for long court room movies or shows but that was utterly sublime. I knew what was coming (they didn't exactly make it too shocking a reveal) but it had no effect on the tense nature of the episode.

Great ending. That rant was so well acted and culminated in a very satisfying ending.

Shows how good an episode it was as there was no Mike and it was still amazing.

Guessed what was going to happen as soon as he mentioned he couldn't pass the air time on, but it was still great to see it :wub:

"Never seen so many star wipes in a row" :lol:

Feel bad for Nacho, Hector going to strawberry float his dad's legit business. I'm guessing he's going to suggest poisoning hector with those pills. If he drops them then not enough to kill but enough to cripple... :nod:

Lydia :dread:

The laundry place :datass:

Cool seeing the guy walt eventually chains up in the basement too. "...or are you going to stick me with that plate?"

This show :wub:

It was great to see the beginnings of Saul coming through, the laundry building and Lydia. They were showing so much stuff, I was half expecting Hank to pop up. :lol:

I am not sure if they have confirmed what year BCS is set before, but they pretty much did in the scene with Howard and Chuck (Chuck :x ), Howard said that 1966 bottle was 35 years old, meaning we are in or around 2000/2001/2002. Do we know what year Breaking Bad started in, it might tell us how much of this story is left before the end.

I still can’t believe I made it through the whole of Breaking Bad without realising that Saul Goodman was “S’all good man!”. :fp:

This show :wub:

He is still working in advertising in 1994 onwards before he goes back to being a lawyer
