Hahaha Milenas reaction as she’s realizing we’re about to see Huell😭😂
I became patron for this reaction & you girls didnt dissapoint, also my favorite episode of the entire show, maybe ther's a contender (s5e6) cant wait to see you get there. Michael Mckean performance really its top notch, and that closeup, man i love this show.
A detail from this episode that blows my mind every time I think about it is that Huell shows up in BCS to plant the phone battery on Chuck, and in his last scene in Breaking Bad Hank tricks him into think that Walter is coming after him, and then removes the battery out of his phone so Walter can't track him. So Huell's story starts with a battery being put in a phone and then ends with one being taken out. In the middle of this amazing episode they're able to sneak in the perfect bookend for a very minor character. The attention to detail is just outstanding.
the creators of this show are something else
What was Chuck’s reaction when he destroyed Jimmy? Extremely happy, he even forgot his mental issue and start being normal. Now reverse the question, what was Jimmy’s reaction when he destroyed Chuck? I think it is clear that he is not enjoying it at all
But do you thing Jimmy feels bad just for hurting Chuck, or its also bc the things he said, i mean he finally burst and spell the real truth about his feelings towards Jimmy, that gotta hurt man
Howard tried to talk Chuck out of testifying to no avail. Chuck really does hate Jimmy big time
The greatest irony is that every accusation Chuck makes against Jimmy during his "crazy" rant is accurate.
Most people have no empathy for Chuck at this point and are cheering at the end of his breakdown. Interesting to see you crying.
It's a great battle between doing the right thing for the wrong reasons and doing the wrong thing for the right reason.
I don’t think Jimmy caused Chuck’s illness, I think Chuck’s divorce did. His relationship with Jimmy makes things worse, but the divorce hit him really really hard. Which makes it so crazy that Jimmy brought Rebecca to the hearing. This episode is so good, I’ve watched Chuck’s speech a million times, I can recite it by heart. You know it’s getting real when the dude yells “HE DEFECATED THROUGH A SUNROOF!” And everyone is still taking it very seriously lol.
Lets also not forget, that Chuck's own actor says that he's a real son of a bitch, and the way he treats Jimmy is not fair.
I will never understand people sympathizing for Kim over Chuck. Both characters are exceptional, but the audience seems to mostly be lured into thinking Kim is the morally justifiable one. She is complacent with Jimmy’s amoral behavior when it benefits her, but takes the high ground against Jimmy when it doesn’t. Chuck, who is flawed in his own ways, at least feels morally compelled to do what is right; Kim and Jimmy literally know about the severity of a member of their family’s mental instability and, instead of helping him, make him suffer to their benefit. They deliberately bring Rebecca in with the sole purpose of making a person they know to be mentally unstable feel worse. In terms of characters lacking the courage to confront what they know to be wrong (Jimmy doesn’t always see what’s wrong), Kim is the most morally contemptible character on the show. Great writing.
Yeah it's easy to overlook her faults because she's so likeable, has many great qualities and you want to root for her. But ... she is not a good person. This becomes even more clear on subsequent rewatches.
This episode -- and Michael McKean's performance as Chuck -- are so good, they put most whole series to shame!
Such a great reaction to a fantastic episode. I don't consider Jimmy good or bad for defending himself when that's his job. It proves how good of a defense lawyer he is with so much against him in that courtroom. If only Chuck hadn't testified, Howard was right that it wasn't worth it and it lead to this.
I'll be honest I feel like Chuck pushed Jimmy to this point. I mean if you look at Jimmy as an addict, at the end of Season 1 Chuck basically told him "you'll always be a drug addict, no matter how long you're sober." That's the worst thing you can say to a person dealing with a problem, but Chuck is so blinded by his ego he doesn't care. Which lead Jimmy down this path. But yeah amazing episode and amazing show.
Also, It is clear that Jimmy is not enjoying beating his brother. I am not saying Jimmy is an angel, but we all saw Chuck’s reaction when the situation was reversed. Chuck even forgot his mental issue by going outside to the street after destroying Jimmy
"I think everybody skips our intro" No way, love the intros
I always get snacks for the pre and post discussions lmao
Kim is the best female character written for TV imo. You just don't get characters like her on TV. Writers feel like they have to make female chars 'sexy' or 'crazy' or a multitude of other cliches. But hard working, reasonable, mature, independent.... I can probably count on one hand the number of female characters that are all of those things.
To add on to that, I find Kim & Jimmy's relationship to be unlike most others on TV. Because they're actually HAPPY, supportive, loyal and they always defend & stick up for each other. Almost all romantic relationships on TV involve heavy amounts of conflict and drama, most marriages are miserable (like Walt & Skyler), etc. It's just refreshing and heartwarming to see a strong & positive relationship for once!
Lola's display of empathy is so rare and wonderful.
Confession: I love BCS way more than BB. BCS is #1 (or #2, I can't decide between it and Mad Men) and BB is probably like... #5 or around there. I don't know what it is but there's just something about BCS that clicks with me. It's my tv soulmate.
I love Breaking Bad, one of my top shows of all time. So epic, a dark comedy at first at times, then a gripping and tragic modern western, a drama brought to life with incredible acting and the best cinematography in the business. Yet I also prefer Better Call Saul. In many ways it surpasses Breaking Bad. Certainly the characters are even more developed, more fleshed out, just as tragic. The cinematography gets even better, and the whole prequel show only makes Breaking Bad better in retrospect, it gives it more weight, for example, knowing Mike's full story. Something about BBC makes me love it and prefer it. Maybe it's Kim, LOL.
what a huge payoff this episode was and the god tier acting... can't get any better!
The acting in this scene was phenomenal. Especially on Chuck's end. Gods it was a great episode
This episode is a frigging masterpiece. Been looking forward to this
There's a video from LegalEagle that gives some great background on the legal issues that this episode deals with, which I highly recommend you check out! https://youtu.be/FCZ06Sfr9Cg
