I haven't rewatched BB since it ended and I honestly can't remember how I felt at the time. Obviously Walt is poo poo and I loved to hate him, but I'm pretty sure I was usually wondering "how's he going to get himself out of this one?" and maybe even sort of pulling for him a little...
Walt is human garbage but even in 5a when he's at his worst what kind of monster doesn't cheer when he makes a watch laser?

Also what exactly was that hearing and remorse statement for, exactly? I get that Jimmy pleading not guilty to the B&E charges was because he wanted to get it down to a misdemeanor, but I thought the "Make an apology and no crime for a year" deal was dependent on Jimmy confessing to a felony. I am dumb and must have misheard a line.

He confessed to the felony, they're going to fight Chuck in the disciplinary hearing before the Bar Association instead of trying to fight the felony. Presumably by going all Reversal of Fortune and demonstrating that Chuck tried to set Jimmy up and is also a crazy rear end in a top hat.
So there's gonna be a disciplinary hearing, not a trial? Explain this to me as if I was a child.

speaking as someone with zero first-hand experience in legal matters, here goes

1) Jimmy has agreed to sign a form that says "I totally did the thing I'm accused of, but I'm very sorry about it"

2) In exchange for signing the form, Jimmy will not have to go through a trial in a court of law, and will not have to go to jail

3) However, Jimmy now needs to straighten up and fly right in the eyes of the law, or else he'll be tossed in jail as though he was found guilty of those crimes by a jury

4) Because Jimmy has now confessed to committing a crime, he faces potential disbarment pending a hearing before the New Mexico Bar Association

5) Kim & Jimmy's strategy for the hearing likely revolves around painting Chuck as a petty, mentally unstable gently caress who set out to ruin Jimmy's life for personal reasons, and who therefore should not be taken seriously

Ah, okay. Hell yeah, gimme next week already. I wanna see the Disciplinary Hearing of the Century.

As sweet as watching this build-up is I still don't see how it'll help Jimmy not get disbarred given how dismissive they've been about discussing Chuck's condition.

"My "medical condition" is actually a mental illness and I'm incapable of accepting that and my brother is retroactively shown to have been willing to go to absurd lengths to make me feel like I'm in full control of my faculties which almost definitely includes a supposed confession" is what we call "not good."

It's interesting that, in order to show Chuck's mentally unstable, Jimmy also demonstrates that he's totally capable of the Mesa Verde 'chicanery' with that battery scheme.
I think you'll find that that was no mere chicanery, but rather theater. :smug:

Man I don't know what more of a moneyshot you could want then Chuck ranting and raving about childhood grievances and poo poo nobody knows about with no context as the camera frames him like General Ripper before we get reaction shots from literally everyone he cares about and then a slow zoom out making him look like the world's tiniest man, powerless before an exit sign.

A lot happened even though arguably there was only one location (flashback doesn't count). What should've been a bottle episode ended up feeling like it was non-stop stuff happening.

Even though it didn't really help them in the end, Kim shooting down the nepotism claim was my favorite part of the episode. Hamlin just wants to go home and sleep it off.

He'll have to tell Chuck they're done professionally and Chuck will end up inside a mental institution from which Jimmy can't rescue him.
"Bottle episode" refers to an episode shot with as few non-regular actors and new sets as possible. Considering the "bottle" of this episode was a new set, I'm not sure it qualifies. This was definitely the most singularly focused episode of Better Call Saul yet, though.

I hope the next episode starts with us seeing Jimmy's reaction to Chuck's rant, because I really, really want to know what his face looked like when Chuck accused him of stealing their parents blind. I've always imagined that Jimmy did not take even half of that $14,000, and that Jimmy knew something about their dad and money that Chuck didn't, beyond that their dad was an easy mark.

lol Kim signed on to this entire thing knowing that Jimmy actually did switch the numbers, she's with this man for the long haul.

Seriously I read Kim's look more as "drat Jimmy, ice cold. I mean, you're doing the smart thing here, but still, like one minute ago we were about to gently caress right here."
