Fantastic loving episode. I like the little flashbacks they use at the beginning of episodes a lot, gently caress Hamlin. And they're totally gonna use McGill's account activity as an entry to muscling out Jimmy of the class action case in the next episode. edit: ugh and Howard taking the spotlight for the Kettleman case. Wanna punch him in the throat and turn off that sing-songy shitfaucet right at the source. Broken Box fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Mar 24, 2015 |

They announced the second season the same month they started filming season one, so it's likely that they plotted out season one before they had confirmation for season two.

Ugh. My PVR missed the last ten seconds of the show since it went over the hour mark. Can someone fill me in on what happened at the end? Last line I heard was when the defense lawyers ask Jimmy what number he had in mind for a settlement.

After a long battle with serious mental illness, it's going to take a while to blow off the cobwebs even if he doesn't relapse. Unfortunately this is probably going to bite him.

PassTheRemote posted:As far as Hamlin, does anyone think that Jimmy used to work for HHM for a time and Hamlin after Chuck got ill Jimmy got the boot? Chucks conversation with Jimmy in episode 1 seems to imply he knows a lot of the people at HHM, especially the guys at the bottom of the totem pole. I am claiming a half right prediction. Does not look like he got the boot after Chuck got sick, but instead was dicked over by Hamlin for a job as a lawyer. I now understand why he resents Howard. Also, Howard, taking a slice of cake after telling Jimmy no job for you? Dick move. This episode flew right by. I am sad there are so few episodes left, but this season has been just some of the best TV I have seen in a while.

I binged Breaking Bad after it ended and loved it. Then I tried to watch Mad Men. I gave it two seasons before deciding it wasn't my kind of show at all. I've been in love with Better Call Saul since the negotiation in the desert. What do I watch in two weeks?

Another great episode this week. kefkafloyd posted:Howard is the worst. Easily the most punchable character on TV. What's funny is that I'm not sure he's actually done any completely wrong or unreasonable. He's just such an rear end in a top hat that tries to present himself as a nice guy and it totally doesn't work.

Well since you apparently like rich characterization but with some comedy edge to it, and also based on your avatar there you're open to cartoons made for young children, I'm gonna say Steven Universe. (no joke loving incredible show)

I never end up getting into things people recommend and then I just feel like a douche telling people the show they like sucks. To be fair to me though most TV shows are terrible.

Taking the cake was a dick move, but being the one to tell Jimmy that the firm wasn't going to accept a community college/online degree for a 3 time bar taker who had criminal priors shouldn't be a huge surprise. That's more on Chuck not being capable of telling Jimmy bad news.

http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/03/23/better-call-saul-recap-season-1-episode-8-rico/New York Times (Blogger) posted:On the other side of the ledger, the writers appear to be flummoxed about what to do with Kim Wexler, the HH&M associate who is Jimmy’s frequent co-conspirator. As a character, she is strangely bland and indistinct. All we know is that she is deeply sane, conflicted about her job and fond of Jimmy. In other words, she is one-dimensional by the standards set by the oddballs and headcases in this show. So a New York Times (Blogger) is essentially calling Kim and Stacey badly written characters. Thoughts? SpiderHyphenMan posted:He took the loving cake. Yeah, but that's what I mean. He's just an rear end in a top hat. He's not like, say, your typical evil big corporate lawyer like you'd see in most shows or movies. He's just an rear end in a top hat.

I have wanted to punch Hamlin in the face since his speech in the first episode about "Sometimes you focus so much on winning you forget to listen to what your heart tells you" or whatever while he was dicking over Chuck. Nothing that happened since then has changed my opinion.

That's more on Chuck not being capable of telling Jimmy bad news. It's interesting to me that even after that, Jimmy didn't give up on working within the system and went and did the shittiest, hardest lawyer work you can do for (probably?) years before even considering returning to his old habits, and even then it's still just to try to be more effective at what he thinks is being a good, helpful lawyer. He's got a pretty complex and compelling sense of justice and ethics.

None of his actions have sincerity, even though they can all be rationalized and viewed as reasonable (by, say, someone like Chuck in the earlier episodes).

He's got a pretty complex and compelling sense of justice and ethics. What's the worst thing Saul ever suggests in Breaking Bad? Not counting things like "Why don't you just send him to Belize" and "Old yeller" because honestly those ideas are more of a "Walt you stupid rear end in a top hat you tricked me into helping you poison a child are we really going to pretend that there isn't some part of you okay with just murdering the people you love?" Off the top of my head I think it would be "hey let's get all those illegal immigrants working at the car wash deported so you guys can have it!  "

I laughed so loving hard at Jimmy crawling out of the dumpster only to find the recycling bin. I wonder if we'll find out what gave Chuck his "sickness". I bet it's related to Hamlin being a dick.

I think he was intentionally being blunt about chow line shanking being option B to make them more amicable to the jimmy in-n-out plan, which coincidentally involved him getting $50,000.

It's the best show on television.
