She stole that scene real quick and has been solid this entire season. Michael McKean has done an astounding job as well (somewhat similar to Skyler) where audiences dislike him or damn near want him dead even though he's not completely wrong with his beliefs.

Yes, however their stories end, Kim Wexler and Chuck McGill have become major characters in the Breaking Bad universe. Naturally, the first question I had after a few episodes of the first BCS season was, "Where are Kim and Chuck during the Breaking Bad years?"

And yes guys, this show is NOT BB. I'm just thankful that we can still enter the BB universe. I'm happy with the slow pacing because of course, we know where it will eventually lead. I'm on pins and needles waiting for a cameo from Walt, Jesse, or Gus, but hey, I know it will likely just be a cameo.

But with all the backstory, I can't help but marvel more at Walter White. Of course, he was a genius, but obviously wasn't a physically imposing character.

Yet he came along and fricked shite up for some very powerful characters. He killed Gus Fring and Mike Ehrmantraut. Tuco Salamanca, Hank Schrader, Steve Gomez, and a host of others died because they were drawn into Walter's orbit. The first ASAC had to retire in disgrace and of course, Saul Goodman's lucrative run as a CRIMINAL lawyer came to an end as a result of him becoming Heisenberg's lawyer.

Wow. All this that started when a milquetoast chemistry teacher decided to cook meth to provide for his family. The backstory is as compelling as the story itself.
