TBeats posted:Did you notice that Chuck could go to the office when he was winning Mesa Verde back, beating Jimmy? And how he was relatively okay at the hearing until he realized he was losing Mesa Verde, also losing to Jimmy? I did, but I don't recall any scene where he was perfectly OK when outside or around electronics, even when sticking it to Jimmy (could be misremembering). It does make sense that his mental illness is alleviated when he's on an anti-Jimmy power trip.

Well he did near the end of season 1 go out to Jimmy's car and open the trunk to bring in the papers for the Sandpiper Crossing case. It was shot more as a "Chuck forgets he has his illness because he is hyper focused on the case". I think the show is trying to show Chuck's slowly getting better at handling his illness.

I'm a little hazy on the timeline of Chuck's illness. Jimmy and Chuck lives in separate cities - Jimmy is a con artist and Chuck is a successful lawyer but then Jimmy gets in trouble so Chuck hauls him across the country and stuffs him in the mail-room. Is this when Chuck starts to get sick or did he have it before?

Herv posted:Who besides me was relieved when Mike made the shoe toss on the 3rd try? I commented on that to my wife at the time. But I don't think there's any way to let him make it the first time. Then you have people at home sitting there rolling their eyes and thinking, "Oh, come on." To me, three tries seems about right to get the point across.

There was even a slight 'cut' between tries two and three, that leaves room to interpret there were even more than three tries, just showing the final successful one. For those who think three tries is too few - because after all, he had to get them on the wire AND centered over the lane. His first toss landed just about on the shoulder.

It was shot more as a "Chuck forgets he has his illness because he is hyper focused on the case". I think the show is trying to show Chuck's slowly getting better at handling his illness. Not exactly, it's trying to show that his illness is directly related to his mental state, e.g. being super focused on something else as you mention in this post. He is still not in control of this illness at all as something could easily trigger it, which I'm sure Jimmy plans on doing in full view of a jury.

Pocket Billiards posted:The cocaine in the shoe setup was getting up there with Breaking Bad for suspension of disbelief. To me it's just a little too clever and outlandish. I agree, but I take the show scenario this way: It could happen. It's unlikely, but it could happen. Maybe Mike tried 5 or 6 other strange methods to mess with Hector's trucks, and we are just seeing the one that actually worked and mattered.

I don't remember the distance of the shot. Was it 400 meters? Maybe 500? That's not a very hard shot to make with an m40. Any longer though and it starts getting tricky.

The last scene of this show will be Saul calling it a day after a hard day's work as a scummy lawyer, then changing into a Burger King uniform. "See you tomorrow, Saul" he'll say with a wink. Then he drives to Chuck's. "Man, Chuck, what a long day of flipping burgers it was for me, Jimmy McGill, who you got disbarred and can't practice law anymore. Hey I'm gonna go home to my wife, Kim. See you later!"

I don't know why I'm compelled to actually answer the 'which sneaker?' thing , but they make a point of showing that the shoe with the drugs stuffed inside points downward when he picks up the pair, because it's got extra weight in the toe. It's easy to pick out the right one from a distance.

Bobby Digital posted:I think it happens after Jimmy reveals he passed the bar. So basically chuck is allergic to jimmy working hard and applying himself? Interesting... Personally I'll bet Chuck's illness interferes with his testimony. It'd be gold if Jimmy say, inists Chuck listen to the tape and verify it's the recording in question that sparked the incident, and he flips out and passes out.

I fully expect the court room to be ridden of any electronic devices to cater to Chuck's illness. Then when Chuck is on the stand and Jimmy is questioning him, and asks him if he feels well since all the electronics were removed. Chuck will say that he is fine. Then Jimmy will reveal that there is a radio, a watch, and a cell phone sitting under Chuck's chair, so how could he possibly feel fine?

And a decent attorney could use this to call his testimony into question. The hired PI could be seen as biased, though Hamlin was there too...

I think the process of going through the courthouse metal detector to face the Chimpanzee with a Machine Gun, James McGill, Esq., in his full glory as the opposing counsel would be enough to cause Chuck to stroke out on the spot.

By any chance are this season's podcasts any more succinct? What I'm asking is if they still do a 5-minute preamble on how great/talented/gracious/sweet each writer/director/grip is before finally talking about the scene.
