pretty sure that was Nacho's voice

Hot Dog Place.

the more I think about it, the more chuck really just pisses me off.

Ok, so I get their history. I know all the deep seeded issues/resentment/jealousy/whatever chuck has for jimmy and why he has it. I get that.

But WHY is chuck so hellbent on ruining Jimmy? Little things like undermining him or not listening to his opinions when they were both working at HHM...I get that. That's little stuff but not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things. But Chuck making it his personal mission to go to the mesa verde meeting (which obviously was very taxing on him physically and emotionally) JUST to screw over jimmy and kim, I mean that's low. And yes, I fully realize this is a business and that's a lot of money. But I think we can pretty much agree that if it was just Kim splitting out on her own he wouldn't have gone to the trouble.

Chuck can think jimmy is a fraud and a liar and not a good lawyer, which is within reason. But he seems to make every effort he can to personally hurt jimmy's wellbeing. And after jimmy has looked after his weird arse most of their adult lives. Just pisses me off.

well think of it from his perspective

his firm gets a big, new client and then slippin jimmy orchestrates kim wexler stealing the client as she "shares office space" with jimmy (also while she fricks him). there is no way they wouldn't go full bore against her. hell this may violate ethical, NDA, or trade secrets laws.

jimmy isn't without sin in this. chuck responded in a mature, professional way. he didn't talk shite about kim (or jimmy for that matter) and sold HHM based on what HHM (a firm he built up mind you) means to the client. he won a fair fight (that jimmy started)

This is just a passing thought I had but I think we are all just assuming Kim splits (for multiple obvious reasons). What if something happens and she moves to another job across country, etc and loses contact or something similar.

The flash fowards with Saul at the Cinnebon could be him pondering his what could have been life with Kim, and then deciding to track her down and end up trying to get back with her out of the country or something similar.

We all assume there is a falling out but it may be something else. The ending of BCS could be in the future, post BB, and Saul/Jimmy tracking down Kim and them ending up together.

I know its a huge stretch but it's possible.

The show is starting to lose me.

Raising the stakes in a Jimmy vs Chuck all out family war could provide the friction to suck me back in.

Last couple episodes have had me looking at the clock wondering if it was done yet

It won't lose me because of how much potential it has. Seasons 3 and 4 will tie the BB / BCS story together. Or it's gonna have to at some point, obviously. Once it does, how awesome is this show going to be?

And with the possible tire spikes, Mike will probably find something he didn't expeCT to be there.

doubtful. he heard them taking off tires. that machine is pretty distinctive
