So how do they fit Howard into season 4 without Chuck? Kim needing to go back to HH(M) if she loses Mesa Verde and being tortured with the potential partnership? Could see that driving a wedge between her and Jimmy.

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
I wonder if Chuck cashed Howard's check before he died.

people on the verge of suicide are often pushed over the edge when reminded of it as an option. people often commit suicide in waves because of the reminder.

It's also just standard practice any time a TV show features a suicide. This isn't the first time I've seen it.

There have been many characters committing suicide in TV shows and suicide prevention hotline nonsense never appeared afterwards. They had respect for their audience.

AMC should be commended from saving the internet from the discussion of whether or not that was a suicide, and also potentially saving some lives or whatever.

It's not, but it is a courteous thing to do. So many people view mental illness, even after watching something like tonight's BCS as a joke or trivial. AMC's choice to show the number was a good one.

I'm sure there's at least one person watching that looked around at their hoarding situation and at least thought about it. As long as they're not putting it in huge flashing letters before the credits have even rolled who cares.

It's to make sure Vince Gilligan can't be charged with manslaughter

Also does anyone think Chuck was so mean to Jimmy to make it hurt less when he's gone or are Redditors dumb? 🤔

I still felt about about Chuck even after realizing how devastated Jimmy must have been to hear Chuck say that.

I do not think Chuck was planning to commit suicide at the time he was talking to Jimmy, so no.

I'm glad Chuck attempted suicide, and I wish him good luck in his endeavors.

I do hope he doesn't take out the neighborhood in the process though.
