Let's start this early. What's Jimmy's strategy against Chuck? Is the episode title referring to Chuck's tape or what Jimmy will pull off against Chuck?

I can't believe there are only six episodes left of this season. 10 is simply not enough.



Oh, and here is a nugget from a Vince Gilligan interview:

quote:

Just from watching this show you can tell that it’s a finite story. And we know that even further from the fact that this show has to butt up against the beginnin of Breaking Bad. So there is a finite nature here. But there’s one difference in Better Call Saul’s finite nature that wasn’t there with Breaking Bad, which is that there is yet again the possibility of a whole other story to be told through the black-and-white beginnings of a post-Breaking Bad world that we’ve put at the top of each season. So while I think that there is a definite end in sight for the pre-Breaking Bad story, there still seems like there could be a lot in the post-Breaking Bad world. I’m kind of fascinated by that, simply as one of the first fans of the series. What could come out of that? No promises, but it seems to me that there’s a little more opportunity for scope there than there even was in Breaking Bad.

Breaking bad was a awesome series. BC Saul is pretty good.

Chuck's about to be outed as mentally unfit when that tape plays.

He is about to humiliate Chuck in front of his peers. We as an audience have been very patient and the payoff is getting close.

Also J+K=S

This is what I have been wondering for a while. The BC Saul story can only go so far pre-BB. If you've heard a lot of Gilligan's interviews recently, he has stated that he and the writers have essentially fallen in love with the Jimmy McGill character and are actually dreading the day he becomes Saul Goodman.

Jimmy is a much deeper, well developed ,more likeable character and the writers now know that. My theory is they will skip all of the "Saul Goodman" Timeline during Breaking Bad and the final season or so will be Jimmy McGill trying to find a way out of his self imposed witness protection life in Omaha and try to become Jimmy again. I think the writers want this too.

Oh snap! Chuck really needs to be put in a permanent vegetative state.

Rewatching the last episode, it's a little thing but I didn't catch it at first.

Saul was waiting in the conference room and Howard walked in and turned off the light. Like Saul is so fricking done with Chuck he literally won't even lift a finger for him anymore.

It was so awesome watching Saul flip the apology to smash Chuck. "I mean who would do that to his own brother?" Damn, that was brilliant.

And Chuck with his snide remark trying to belittle Kim and make her feel inexperience

quote:

But Kim, you should be aware, because this will be your first disciplinary hearing, the bar association standard of proof is far more lenient that what you're used to. Motions aside, that tape will be played.


That pissed her off so bad!
