Just finished a rewatch of the first 2 seasons to get refreshed in advance of S3 coming out in April. One thing I noticed right off the bat is that it wasn't NEARLY as slow as i remembered. Granted, I'm sure that binge watching tends to have that affect as opposed to waiting a week between episodes and almost a year between seasons, but still. There really weren't that many total lulls that I had remembered.

As a super quick recap, Jimmy is still Jimmy and has started a co-firm thing with Kim. Mike and Nacho are still on respectful but tense grounds with each other and the last we saw Mike was going to kill Hector Salamanca but was told (presumably by nacho) not to. And in the final scene, we see that butthead Chuck recorded Jimmy openly admitting in full to various felonies regarding him forging the documents in the Mesa Verde case.


So what are we thinking, do we actually get the transformation to Saul this season? I guess it'd be a logical scenario to think that Chuck threatens to completely destroy Jimmy with the tape so he changes his whole identity. I'm very anxious to see how Gus gets involved since I think it's been advertised he will be around this season.

Chuck is the most bizarre character. Sometimes his sickness kind of takes away from the show for me.

Are we even 100% sure it's legit? I realize there have been some cases where it definitley seems so (for instance in S1 when he crosses the street to steal the newspaper and then faints), but then there are other times like his first visit to the hospital when that female doctor turned on the bed without him knowing and everything was fine.

And we see in S2 he starts going to HHM and not having them turn the lights out or anything, and he does ok although is weary afterwards.

He also got a CT scan which seemed to be fine.

This was not done by accident. It's something we are supposed to notice. I'm sure of it.

Of course he isn't actually allergic/sensitive to electromagnetic waves. It's some sort of anxiety disorder. I don't think he is faking the anxiety, but he certainly only fixates on lights and stuff when he's stressed or unfocused on screwing Jimmy.

Are you referring to the note left on Mike's car? Why presume it was Nacho and not Gus?

Most assuredly. It's the moment we've all been waiting for and they won't frick it up

I can't wait for S3. Does anyone know how many seasons are planned? Will it be 5 like BB?

I'm willing to bet someone gets tied up and brought to a desert.

Not saying it's Saul. Just seems always a safe bet with BB/BCS

Chuck is whacked out of his goddamned gourd. His obsession with screwing Jimmy over is a symptom of whatever OCD disorder he has.

I hate Chuck like I hated Skylar.

Ready for Saul to emerg for good. There are some good characters in this show. Nacho is a cool MF.

I believe something happened to or with chucks wife that causes him to think he has some disease. Maybe it was something else that caused it and it caused her to leave him. But we got that small part of hers and I feel we will get more background on it as he will heavily influence this seasons path with his new found information.

That flashback dinner scene when Jimmy came to visit Chuck and his wife looked like Chuck was already showing some signs and made me think something is going to happen that Chuck blames Jimmy for his wife leaving.

I'm afraid we're gonna be stuck with a heavy dose of Chuck storyline for at least Season 3 to end in his natural or unnatural death, or mental facility. He seems hellbent to have Slipping Jimmy disbarred. And I too want more flashback to why Chuck's wife(Cusack) is now departed in one way or another(whether Chuck's current state preceded or was triggered by her departure?)..

It would seem Kim's role whether continuing to alibi Saul's shenanigans or not, is clearly on borrowed time.

And with Mesa Verde, even if it take years to win, would not Saul still be entitled to his agreed finder's fee percentage with HHM and Davis & Main regardless of whatever is to become of his audiotape? Or is he swindled by Hamlin on a handshake agreement,etc..?
