Either way we got a fallout between the brothers.

Thread moved fast, but has anyone acknowledged that if Huell was on the witness list that both Hamlin and Chuck would have asked who he was before the actual hearing? Chuck even mentions to Rebecca that she's not on the witness list. He'd certainly wonder why some person he never even heard of was on the witness list.

I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius
Would the witness list say why each person is a witness? They might just think he's a private investigator.

They probably thought he was the voice-recording expert they were expecting Jimmy to bring.

If Huell stole something from Chuck that would be a problem, but he didn't do that. He just planted a harmless item on him.

It seems kind of odd to me that Huell "professional pickpocket" Babineaux shows up in court to testify on the record to his ability to perform sleight-of-hand. That seems like a kinda self-destructive move.

You know what touch I liked, when Hamlin was on the witness stand talking about how Jimmy was not hired due to fear of nepotism, and Kim asking who the other Hamlin was. I swear I saw a smirk out of the side of Howard's mouth, like a "well played".

5 more, isn't it? This is a 10-episode season.

I know all the cretins in this thread like to complain that the show is too slow but I wonder if they realize that basically this entire Chuck vs. Jimmy Hearing story has taken place in 5 episodes? This season started out just after Chuck made the recording.

That's like 60kg in six years
7700 extra calories per kilo = about extra 211 calories every day for the first year double that on the next year triple on the year after that...
Two twinkies are 270 kcal
That's about 3422 extra twinkies he'd have to consume.

E: After adding his BMR into the calculation he'd have to eat about 4-5 extra twinkies a day to get this fat over 6 years

I love the guy they cast as the state bar prosecutor (what that his role? I don't know what the gently caress any more). Gilligan can craft deep and complex characters, but he never misses the chance to throw a caricature on screen when he can get away with it.

Michael McKean is akin to Kevin Spacey in House of Cards where his character is a scumbag you'd have to restrain yourself from punching if you met in real life because he plays the character so well that they seem so real and you'd have to remind yourself it's an actor. It's wild.

Nah ... I'll never be able to seperate McKean from David St.Hubbins.

As somebody else mentioned: the last BCS episode should have cut to black with Chuck staring at the EXIT sign and then THIS should have been the soundtrack music:

I mean, Jimmy went through more than one plot arc in season 1, too. The show is definitely significantly slower than it used to be. After this latest episode, complaining about that is ridiculous.
