Jimmy's move in this episode wasn't a step away from taking on the Saul persona. He's learning that he can accomplish more while looking bad than he can while looking good. He's also torpedoing his reputation, the absence of which makes doing business as Saul more necessary. I think people misremember how evil a person Saul was. He's someone who works mostly with amoral criminals, and he has an attitude that fits dealing with such. ( "Why aren't you just having him killed" is a pertinent question to ask a drug dealer who's asking you to separate a potential snitch away from the police.) He's not a good person, but he's believable as a purposeful act put on by someone not quite as callous.

Saul's BB office waiting room was always filled with normal lookin' folk, so he must have also worked on a lot of small cases - and he was still advertising to get more of them. So much paperwork.

Like, imagine if the only thing you saw of Jimmy in this episode was that conversation with Erin he broadcast to the old ladies. That's more or less the perspective of him we have in most of Breaking Bad. It's the first time we see him playing up his sleaziness.

SpiderHyphenMan posted:"Chuck's not dead" is so unbelievably stupid and I can't even be mad about it, because the people who think that have been conditioned by schlock to never believe that someone's dead unless they see a body, and sometimes not even then. Yes, it would be schlocky and he better loving be dead, but I'm not going to rule it out completely, especially after the last two season finale cliffhangers.

He's also torpedoing his reputation, the absence of which makes doing business as Saul more necessary. Not only that but it's Jimmy abandoning the chip on his shoulder that he expressed toward the soldier at the beginning of season 3, the resentment at being labeled a bad guy when he had the best of intentions and hadn't set out to harm anyone. By the end of the season he's reconciled that his schemes actually do cause damage to the people around him and that he's not the righteous avenger or plucky underdog he seemed to think he was in season 2.

The first season finale wasn't a cliffhanger, it was literally "this might be the only season we get so if it is HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE ORIGINS OF SAUL GOODMAN, EVERYONE!" And then everyone including the writers were like "I love Jimmy and don't want him to become Saul yet" and so the rest of the show happened.

I think the season three opener will be of a charred house with one imacculately intact bed in the middle of it, with Chuck and his ex-wife making pillowtalk like nothing bad happened. That's right boys, nobody Fucks Chuck but Mrs. Chuck.

Saul is still an obnoxious people person with horrible suits and likes small level dirtbags coming in for his help else he'd run a silent office with only his kingpin clients.

-was a poo poo to his brother for years -drove away his wife -became a recluse and sucked the life out of Jimmy for years on sympathy -pointlessly chased the white whale -ruined his reputation, and the reputations of his peers -willing to ruin everything he'd ever built for his own ego -forcing a good hard-working man to go into enormous debt -told his brother he never loved him -destroyed his house, the last thing he really had -and finally set himself on fire In case anybody asked, the theme of the show is "self-destruction"

RedSpider posted:This is false. I said having a suicide prevention hotline appear on the screen after a fictional character on a TV show kills himself was unartistic, and frankly, quite baffling. It took me out of the show. I disagree, The Magicians had one during season 1. It wasn't after an episode with someone killing themselves but themed heavily with it. It was really fit well. They also did one with sexual assault. Maybe it fits better with the audience they are reaching, but I don't think it's out of place or in bad taste.

no you don't understand having a note like that at the end after the credits is a violation of the show's artistic vision, which includes the credits for some loving reason

I watched for, and still did not see, a suicide hotline number when I rewatched today. I think it was a hallucination only seen by whiny suicide wanters, who are ashamed they don't have the balls to end their life by fire like Chuck did.

I think people are arguing more that it doesn't do any harm to include suicide hotline number, and that the little immersion it breaks isn't worth preserving.

Chuck is very intelligent, but tainted by severe insecurity, control issues, and anger. He brings destruction to those around him, and ultimately himself. Sounds just like Walter White to me. Now that his character is (seemingly) out of the way, they'll need to refocus the conflict for season 4. Surely, we'll see the Mike story line meet back up with Saul Goodman.

I don't really care about Mike's storyline and I can't be the only one who feels that way. I thought it was a lot more interesting when Mike and Jimmy were having their little battle over parking stamps and Jimmy was helping him out with the cop murder situation than all of this stuff about his cartel vendetta that we know doesn't go anywhere. Now it's all turned into When Mike Met Gus and it's like, meh, we know that he works for Gus and they get along until Walt comes along. He's currently in the exact situation he's in when he is introduced many years later in Breaking Bad. Who cares. Gimme Jimmy.
