re: Better Call Saul S3 E10 Lantern (Season Finale)

I didn't feel bad for Chuck at all. About time they killed him off. Good riddens.

He can't be making much money having to regularly bail out low level drug dealers like badger and skinny pete

His waiting room is overflowing with these people every time we see it. Plus these people lead him to bigger paydays on occasion when he has to go above and beyond what a normal lawyer will do.

Something truly was drawing power. That something was a camera or a bug that Jimmy had installed by Mike. If so Jimmy may find out next season he caused his brother's suicide.

Chuck could have left the house at any point. He sat there obsessing and gave up he couldn't beat it.

Great season

I think the chuck storyline has run its course and it was time. We get it, you can't be around electricity. Time to move on with the other storylines

i was watching LSU get beat on iPad so I glanced away a few times but I don't recall seeing any scenes with Mike. His storyline wasn't wrapped up already was it? I feel like I missed something.

I noticed that there was no Mike or Gus either until we saw Gus at the end. Mike got set up for Gus to launder $200K of his money. HE'll be back next year I would guess.

How interesting was it to see Gus rush to Hector's aid when he was stricken. And then the look he gave Nacho, that was priceless. He knew Nacho knew.

1. The number never changes. It was on 374 the whole time. Chuck was only imagining the dial spinning. It would take a lot of dial rotations to turn the number though, so maybe it was truly spinning just not enough to turn the number.

A possible reason - it's called meter creep. In some meters, the disc rotates slowly and continuously when there is no load due to excitation of the pressure coil. In order to prevent the disc from rotating, anti-creep holes are normally drilled into the disc. Without anti-creep holes or if there is some type of obstruction, the interaction of the voltage coil and the light-load adjustment could provide enough torque to cause the disc to rotate very slowly when the meter was energized, but with no current flowing.

I know most of us were tired of Chuck, but that fire lighting up in silence and straight to credits.. that was powerful..

Also, if you're Gus arent you getting the hell out of dodge when he faints? All you're known as is the owner of a chicken joint.

How would Hector's people likely respond to that? It would draw attention to Gus, right? Does Gus want suspicion and scrutiny from the Salamanca family? Of course not.

With Hector's people there, Gus has no control over what happens. He knows he probably should not have even been there (though he may have known it would happen and chose to be there to intervene - this incident will cause him to be more careful), because his presence at the scene links him to the incident, which destabilizes his security and control. Gus knows that Hector's people may even go after him if Hector dies. The cartel partners with both Gus and Hector, though they prefer Gus's efficiency. So if Hector lives, Gus has more security from both the cartel AND Hector who happens to be the primary unpredictable and uncontrolled variable in Gus's operation.
