They pretty explicitly said Gus was gay right at the end of the Breaking Bad finale. It was right before Walter got onto the bus and the credits rolled.

Re: Gus being gay (though I'll admit, maybe he's not), I remember when that episode happened, the flashback, and it was hinted at. Not like Mike's Voice or the recorder in Chau's cigarette, but actually hinted at. I believe at one point, Hector teases them when he's taking a leak in the pool, saying something like 'you like the sight of this, don't you?'. I think Don Eladio says something referencing it, but I could be wrong. Anyway, when it came up, I thought what? No way, that's a stretch. But as I've watched the scene (and the series) over a few times since, I feel like that's what they were going for very subtly. Edit: From Quora: In the 408 episode of the Breaking Bad podcast, the show's creator Vince Gilligan was asked whether Max was Gus's lover. He said that "It's open to interpretation. It's whatever the audience wants it to be."" So there you go, he's both gay and not at the same time. Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 07:35 on Apr 23, 2017 |

Yeah he might be gay in the way that Mr. Smithers "might be gay." i.e. they won't come out and say it because it's hilarious to see all these people continuously going "what, that handsome, well-groomed middle-aged man with no children and no wife, who has never broken his even, measured tone no matter the horror and destruction around him, except for the one moment he cried out in grief and anguish when his young, handsome 'business partner' was murdered in front of him? gay??" jfc

Lastdancer posted:However it is inevitable, and everyone should look forward to it Oh believe me, I am  .The Shortest Path posted:Assuming Kim bails on him sometime this season, it's fairly reasonable to assume that's who it'll be. If they want to wrap things up in S4, then maybe Jimmy couldn't resist putting her as his emergency medical contact and after he passes out they contact her and she either shows up or he starts freaking out about how to hide despite that. Chuck could be the emergency contact as well, despite how at odds they are, blood being thicker than water and all that. Or if they do five seasons, S4 Gene scene has Kim or Chuck show up at the hospital and S5 Gene scene has the real meat of their conversation. I do think the best and most interesting character to show up and meet Gene would be Kim though, having moved on and become a successful lawyer on her own and married with a few kids to someone else. I think she's the only character we've met so far that he could give a full and honest confession to and acknowledge what an rear end in a top hat he was and the terrible things he helped take place, and that catharsis of sorts is where I see any Gene-based finale ending up at.

I just realized that if Jimmy's legal defense is "I was upset at being emotionally manipulated by my brother who I have done nothing but try to help and who has constantly treated me like poo poo," that puts him in a great position to ruin Chuck's relationship with Howard by making Howard testify about how he really feels about that crazy fucker.

Once again, your hatred of Chuck is blinding you to what's actually going on in the show. Howard is indeed getting weary of all this poo poo, but he's still on Chuck's side way more than Jimmy's. He legitimately thinks Jimmy is an rear end in a top hat for what he did to Chuck. He isn't going to completely turn on Chuck to help Jimmy. People keep forgetting that Howard is kind of a jerk. It turned out he wasn't the kind of jerk who would deny Jimmy a job based on nothing but a personal animus toward him, but he's still a jerk. He basically operates according to a system of extreme meritocracy. He would have hired Jimmy even though he didn't like personally like him, since Jimmy proved his competence as a lawyer. But he also treated Kim like complete poo poo whenever she screwed up, even though he clearly personally likes Kim. It doesn't matter how crazy he thinks Chuck is. Chuck is a really good lawyer and an asset to the firm, while Jimmy has at this point proven himself repeatedly to be a criminal screw-up in Howard's eyes. SpiderHyphenMan posted:I absolutely think "no wonder Rebecca left you" is just the opening shot in Jimmy going scorched earth on Chuck. If compelled to testify about his relationship with Chuck, Hamlin will absolutely not lie under oath to continue humoring the crazy man. He won't lie under oath, but at most he'd just admit that he personally sees Chuck's symptoms as psychosomatic. He's still going to be as sympathetic to Chuck as he possibly can. He doesn't hate Chuck.

There may have been a time where Howard would go to bat for Jimmy but that time has long since passed. Jimmy burning his bridges at Davis And Main probably reflects badly on Howard since Howard and Kim talked kindly of Jimmy when Davis and Main asked.

Howard has had plenty of opportunities to cut Chuck off, and to do it in a way that nobody (even Chuck himself) could dispute was perfectly above board. He's never taken one and I don't see him starting now. From memory there is a scene in season 2 where he wistfully talks to Kim about how he wishes he could have had the balls like she does to just walk away from a big, prestigious law firm and try to build something of his own. He couldn't shake his father's pull though and Chuck is obviously tied up in that desire to prove himself worthy of his father's legacy - Chuck knew his dad, Chuck is a legend in legal circles, Chuck is a founding partner. Howard will go out of his way to keep him happy. He might not lie under oath for him, but I'm sure he'd do everything in his power to avoid having to testify at all.

The defense is, was, and always has been, "I made the whole thing up so my brother would stop acting crazy," which introduces enough reasonable doubt to kill the case outright. It's all right there on the tape.

I like the idea that Jimmy's going to have to defend himself in court or risk disbarment, with Chuck as his primary opponent, and his reputation as a friendly lawyer to senior citizens will be ruined as the details of the trial are publicized. In the end, though, he'll pull off a miraculous Saul Goodman-style acquittal by working the jury. This will drive Chuck, who will do everything completely right by the books but still lose, fully insane. As part of the proceedings, everything will come out about Chuck's mental illness -- maybe he'll even end up committed -- and that will be the final blow that drives the two of them apart. Maybe it will also torch the McGill name for good -- HHM becomes just Hamlin & Hamlin, and Jimmy changes the name of his practice, having given up trying to fly straight for good.

Chuck's insane. Jimmy can use that. The set-up feels clear. But why the new name? If Jimmy stays Jimmy, Chuck could ask him to give up the name and he would. If Jimmy breaks, he could just want to leave all that poo poo behind. If Jimmy breaks a la Walt, he could ruin the name. Edit: Or maybe Jimmy doesn't use Chuck's insanity. Maybe it's just leverage, and the firm negotiates to suppress Chuck's chicanery if Jimmy agrees to nut sully the McGill name with his practice. Edit 2: This could also leave him with a chip on his shoulder. Partnering with Walt could make him sufficiently rich and powerful to one up HHM and (loving) Chuck.

About the biggest gently caress you Jimmy could give Chuck would be if he successfully defended himself by dragging Chuck through the mud, then decided to change his name afterwards to Saul Goodman because "Well Chuck thanks to you the McGill name's worth nothing in law now."
