This show just keeps getting better and better. Eff the haters. Loved tonight's episode. Chuck is a fantastic character.

Not sure who the haters are, it's almost like everyone wants to be in on the show so no one is critical. I don't like the all over the place timelines, and like lib7 said there's entirely too much filler, these should be 30 minute episodes. The 61, 62, 63, 64 minute episodes are pretentious as eff.

I think the show is the right length as is.  What would you even cut from last night's epi?

Chuck is going to eff Saul up, because he has never really believed in Jimmy.

I have a feeling that Jimmy is going to get the rug pulled out from under him on this big case. It will be devastating. That's his life. It's not a feel good story.

Chuck is going to fail Jimmy unintentionally due to the fact that he is at least partially insane and his insanity will leak out at some point and hurt the case irreparably.

I'm thinking they win the case and then Chuck's firm ends up with all of the money.

Yeah, like it gets too big, they bring in HHM, then HHM either buys him out or squeezes him out.  Or, maybe they somehow say it was their case to start with since Chuck was involved and still works for them, or something.

Yeah, Kim.was all like, "But Chuck still works for us. Oh, well. Nevermind." She is going to rip his heart out at some point in order to further her career.

Then she uses HHM's resources and Chuck's HHM code to make copies to supply the case.

this.

also i think that there are two ways this is going to go.  1. chuck and saul proceed and win the case, but in the end either chuck fucks saul or HHM takes the proceeds.  2.  chuck dies or goes completely insane right when saul needs him most and saul loses the case on his own.  either way saul gets mumped and he decides to go off the deep end and makes his career as we see it in BB.  soon it will be it's all good man.

They win but have to split a ton with hhm. Gets his own office but effs it up somehow and loses the money and office.

this current season is 6 years before BB, so there is no rush to get to bad Saul.

Agreed, but bad Saul doesn't get where he is with a flick of a switch.  It takes time to lower to that level, create all the shady contacts, get divorced a time or two, etc that is all shown and or mentioned in BB.

It was so goddamn funny in BB when Saul had a guy who was willing to go to prison in someone's else place for a fee. That's so mumped up.

I feel like they're doing a better job of making Jimmy a character who you can feel empathy for then you could for Walt.

Last night's episode was easily my favorite.

MIR questions who the haters are, then proceeds to list things that he hates about the show.

If you think listing critiques of anything is being a hater you may need to analyze your fanboi status. Better Call Saul tuck logic? Nearly every post itt praising the show talks about the links in each episode to BB, of course someone who didn't see BB will be more critical. I'm sure they'll do a better job as the show progresses of having BCS stand on its own.

That being said, last night was awesome.  If there were BB insider things they certainly weren't evident.  Everything about last night's episode was perfect and served as a great lead in to the season finale. There were two holes in the episode: How did Mike know who to vet for that job? I doubt that the pharmacist would tell hired muscle who he is dealing drugs to. And, why did ol' dude from HHM tell Kim about Chuck betraying Jimmy? Those are nit picks though the episode was great, now I'm intrigued where as before I was just watching hoping to get hooked.

I think the HHM hole is because of some yet unmentioned value they have in Kim.  She already mentioned that they put her through law school.  Is that normal?  Seems like it probably isnt.  I would guess Howard didn't want to fully alienate a valued employee just to carry water for an obviously insane senior partner that isn't ever coming back.
