Sandpiper, Mesa Verde, both generic names for banks and nursing homes.

Now, Ice Station Zebra Associates. That name is not to be confused with any bank or nursing home.

I'm sure you've all googled it by now, but if not, it's the movie Jimmy and Kim watched in an earlier episode:



I'd have to go back and rewatch to see if Jimmy said anything about why he liked it.

time for Jimmy to videotape Chuck in his house wrapped up in protective blankets and wailing in pain because the electricity from his phone is hurting him.

What do you think chuck's reaction would be if he caught jimmy videotaping him? I bet it would be similar to when you were "startled" by your own camera while sipping a blue moon in a hammock

Doubt it. Jimmy and Chuck were still on good terms in Season 1, remember?

Chuck going crazy might have had something to do with her departure. Or her departure/death might have had something to do with Chuck going crazy.

I am not offended. But Chuck is not a bad guy. Jimmy is a bad guy. But everyone likes him and they do not like Chuck. That is the difference. Jimmy is the guy you want to have beers with. Chuck is the guy you want handling your business.


Chuck IS a bad guy. Maybe he doesn't do the silly things Jimmy does but at his core hes bad intentioned and deeply jealous of his brother trying to keep him down at all costs. I hate that ****er and was hoping hed die this episode.

More complex than that. Chuck can't comprehend how Jimmy gets away with everything and thus treats him poorly.

Just going to go ahead and bring this back up from last episode's discussion. Especially when this was responded to with: Saul can't go in there.

If I recall it was Kim who liked it, not Jimmy.

Would be funny if Chuck goes off the deep end publicly & tarnishes the McGill name so bad Jimmy can't use it.

As soon Jimmy/Saul (for the OCD on this board) said "It's your word against my word" I instantly knew why Chuck went into the garage. /iamverysmart

Chuck going crazy might have had something to do with her departure. Or her departure/death might have had something to do with Chuck going crazy.


Jimmy charmed her at the dinner and it bothered Chuck.... Especially the lawyer jokes.

Chuck can't handle people liking Jimmy more or equal to himself. He was the better son but Jimmy got all the attention. He's the star lawyer but everyone loves Jimmy at HHM.

It's a very Trump/Cruz relationship.

So far the only story we have ever heard from their childhood has been Chuck's side of the story. Slippin' Jimmy came a little later. Who is to say Chuck didn't make Jimmy become Slippin' Jimmy?

This.

I certainly don't expect everyone to like everything about the show but certain people ***** & whine about every little thing. Those are the people that make me not want to read this thread anymore. If you're so miserable stop watching the ******* show. Or at least stop posting on this thread. Feel free to start your own "We hate BCS" thread where you can cry about how boring it is.

The flashback of Jimmy stealing from his father wasn't from chucks perspectiv . Jimmy made the decision to lie and steal from his father at a young age without any chuck issues.


Yes it was. Chuck told that story to Kim. He could've been lying out his ass about it for all we know

Thats completely incorrect. There is no context given whatsoever.

Its online, go watch it again. Beginning of "Inflatable".


http://www.amc.com/shows/better-call-saul/full-episodes/season-02/episode-07/inflatable


  • It starts with "previously on scenes"....
  • then the first scene is the flashback set in 1970 with Jimmy and his Dad in the shop, Chuck is not around (so he would never be able to relate this story anyway).
  • then at the end of the scene as Jimmy pockets the money it goes straight into the opening credits.
  • after the commercial break it comes back and we are in present day with Jimmy scribbling on a notepad (logos for his idea of MCgill and Wexler) while waiting for Mike at the courthouse


    • Chuck is never shown or heard in relation to this flashback - it can only be from Jimmy's perspective.

    I think you are confusing that with an earlier scene in an earlier episode in which Chuck talks about as an adult going back to help his Dad with the books and realizing there were discrepancies. He blames Jimmy and tells his Dad but his Dad won't believe it. That is what he related to Kim. It wasn;t about that flashback of Jimmy as a boy.

    The episode where Chuck tells Kim about Jimmy embezzling from his dad is episode 5 called "Rebecca"

    I don't know how all of you are waiting until next season. I already watched next season and the one after that. Because, you know, streaming.

    I also streamed Bob Odenkirk's funeral in 2051. Very sad, but some amazing speeches given from former co-stars, etc, which is what you'd expect from a guy that set so many records for all the awards, etc. I mean, what other show bred NINE spin-offs?? And the Saul movie franchise (steamed all 4 plus the 8 prequels).

    Man, I wish I had access to streaming technology. I hate having to wait until episodes are actually filmed.

    Sam Jones sat down with Odenkirk. It's pretty good. Odenkirk seems pretty salty and a bit bitter in real life.

    Off Camera with Sam Jones

    Finally caught the season finale. I'm really proud of this thread. We were able to get in one more absolutist evil/good argument and a streaming week to week reference before the break. A little disappointed though there wasn't at least one if you can't appreciate BCS' nuance maybe you should stick to Transformers.
