It causes no harm to anyone and it might potentially help out someone in a desperate situation. It's a net good. Actually, scratch that -- it might potentially help out someone in a desperate situation and it pisses off autistic sociopaths on the internet. It's actually very good

maskenfreiheit posted:I hope it's mostly Mike in a car and nothing gets resolved. Well, you were half right. For a show about one man's descent to the dark side the sure to love to backpedal anytime he comes close to doing anything that would irrevocably set him on that path. Dunno whether it's out of genuine affection for the character or an unwillingness to end their mealticket until AMC gives them yet another hard deadline or both but eventually they need to just https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1YmS_VDvMY

Good ep but I've got to say that, as someone who had a massive relapse into mental illness and killed himself, the car crash in ep 9 was NOT accurate.

I don't know about anyone else, but until that phone number came up on my screen, I thought Michael McKean was a tiny man that lived in my tv. The good thing is now that my immersion is ruined, I realize that Bob Odenkirk didn't run through my house from my laptop to my tv (I watched BB on Netflix)

It took me out of the show.

It was pretty good foreshadowing that Kim got The Mist from Hollywood Video and a person got loving burnt to death in that as well

Sagebrush posted:It causes no harm to anyone and it might potentially help out someone in a desperate situation. It's a net good. Agreed. It can only hurt people who are in desperate need for attention, help people who need help, and annoy people who are smart enough to know the difference and can't find a decent place to talk about the finale.

I honestly feel like they made a basic strategical mistake in how human they made Jimmy considering the end point is to get him to Saul, a character who is basically a cartoon. Given how glacially they've moved it's pretty difficult to buy him becoming the BB character at all at this point. That said we don't even know if this show is getting another season and I read the ratings haven't been that hot, it would be kind of just deserts if dragging rear end so much ended up biting the showrunners.

I'd imagine it's because the crazy bitch had the intent to convince the guy to kill himself and literally TOLD him to get back in the car. Everything is literally shown in all forms of media these days - not everything can be actionable. Putting up a phone number at the end of an intensely emotional episode ending in a suicide is the NICE thing to do regardless of what some Sperging goon on here keeps rambling about.

I seriously doubt AMC is stupid enough to tell the breaking bad production team they can't do another season. Maybe someday they'll drop a stinker bad enough to burn their trust, but that day has not yet come.

I can only hope you're pro-guilty cuz seriously, as an aspiring lawyer and a believer in human dignity, telling a suicidal to go kill themselves is beyond guilty. If someone you know threatens suicide then please call 911 or whatever your local emergency number is.

I think there's a difference between hoping someone should kill themselves vs. being an intimate trusted confidant who is telling someone to quit being a pussy and end it. Like I can hope that Trump and Pence take cyanide capsules while romantically embraced. But I can't be Pence's mother actively telling Trump and Pence to stop being pussies and end it.

Bringing it up in the Better Call Saul thread because AMC did a good thing and posted a suicide hotline number after the show is stupid.

People being triggered by a brief flash of a suicide hotline to the point where they're still raging about it a day later is ironically the the best argument you could make for why doing it was a good idea in the first place.

I am annoyed at seeing people bitch about that ruling because the ruling was correct and also a very extreme case that isn't likely to apply to anything else. I suspect the people bitching about that ruling all over the forums are annoying edgelords who love to tell people to kill themselves. Because it keeps coming up in threads that it shouldn't come up in, like this one. They're projecting. It was a good idea for AMC to run the hotline number.

I'm wondering if they are going to skip forward a year or so after all that happened there. A lot was wrapped up, at least for the time being. Michael McKean needs to win an Emmy for that performance.

S4E1 is going to be a Very Special Episode about suicide prevention, using the fallout from Chuck's suicide as a framing device, that will end with Jimmy directly addressing the camera as Chuck comes out from behind a billboard, smiling, "On TV, sometimes things can get out of control.

Just got to watch the finale off the dvr and man what an episode and season. This is still my favorite show on tv by far. McKean was just heartbreakingly good in this and he'll be missed.

The main problem with the show right now is saul needs to become a strip mall lawyer who works with criminals and launders money and stuff but he's also a millionaire + is probably the executor of chucks estate & his beneficiary meaning he's got like... literally over 10 million dollars in actual liquid cash money.

Nah no way Chuck left his money to Jimmy. Probably gave it to some legal charity. Also the settlement fell through, so Jimmy is not a millionaire +

No, there's no way Davis & Main are going to drop that case now that Sandpiper has already agreed to what must surely be an eight-figure settlement. I wasn't totally clear on what happened with Irene and Erin in the last episode (it sounded at first like Irene had already received the money, but I guess it wasn't finalized and they're going back on it somehow?) but Jimmy will get his 20% of that sooner or later.

Davis and Main wanted to continue negotiations on the case or take it to trial, and Irene will take back her acceptance of the settlement. Jimmy will get his money eventually, but for now he is not rolling in dough.
