Yup. Buy him out. Gonna be an awkward conversation with Howard and Chuck. No way Chuck goes willinglyAt the very least, Hamlin is going to find a way to remove Chuck from the firm. The whole spiel about the company's reputation and all.
Wasn't there some talk between Jimmy ans Chuck along the lines that a buyout f Chuck would bankrupt the firm?Yup. Buy him out. Gonna be an awkward conversation with Howard and Chuck. No way Chuck goes willingly
The batter was instrumental in proving it wasn't a phsyical condition, but rather mental.Great episode. Just my $.02, Jimmy would have been more compelling honing in on his concern about Chuck's declining state after the error and passing on the battery theatrics. That better supported a defense that he lied about the document editing (to help Chuck) due to sincere concern. Maybe even bring up the hospitalization Chuck had experienced to bolster there was something critical going on that it necessitated the lie. Probably just me, but I was a little baffled about the battery plan. Yes, it seemed to elicit a Chuck diatribe which may help. However, it also showed Jimmy's sneaky side (bolstering Chuck's facts). More important, isn't Jimmy proving this condition was a figment of Chuck's imagination, and not something he deemed so worrisome that is forced a lie to Chuck?
Yea, was waiting for the phone to start ringing inside chucks pocket.Really great episode, even without Mike.
I thought they were going to plant a phone on Chuck and then call him at the appropriate point in his testimony. The battery worked out pretty much the same way, but a phone might have been funnier.
This oneYea, was waiting for the phone to start ringing inside chucks pocket.
Inthread spinoff!
What ringtone would be perfect for the situation?
"I fought the law and...the law won"
"Who could it beee now?"
"Insane in the brain"
Looks like we'll find out next week.Great show but I guess I missed the larger point about Chucks ex wife being there. Did Jimmy think it would rattle him or did he want the wife to see Chuck flip out for some reason. Not sure what that had to do with the Bar board.

He made a point about how Chuck would not divulge his EHS to her, but might have if it had been lung cancer.Great show but I guess I missed the larger point about Chucks ex wife being there.

I think the major storylines are wrapping themselves up. How Mike got with Gus, Chuck, etc. I am not sure where else they are going to be able to take the show. I hope they dont do a 4rth just to do a 4rth just showing him as Saul. We already know how he is.Why the hell would you think this is the last season??
I think they put that scene in on purpose to give them a way to tidy things up.that would be so ####ty if saul dies in the last episode. i agree i bet they do another season
I'd be stunned if this was the last season. Ratings are great, show is great. Still a long way to go. Could even get into some parallel Breaking Bad territory.Five episodes left. If this is the last season, and I think it is, there isnt much more to the storyline leading up to BB.
I'm guessing that Jimmy knew Chuck would be expecting something. He brought the ex wife in as a ploy. Hoping that Chuck would suspect that was his big move to rattle him. But Jimmy knew Chuck would see through it. With Chuck thinking he had figured out the big move Jimmy in a sense threw him off the trail. Basically a slight of hand.pantherclub said:Great show but I guess I missed the larger point about Chucks ex wife being there.

Hell they could do an entire season of Cinnabon Gene.I'd be stunned if this was the last season. Ratings are great, show is great. Still a long way to go. Could even get into some parallel Breaking Bad territory.
He has to keep his license since Saul is licensed.none of this changes the fact that jimmy broke the law. i'm still interested to see what the results of the hearing are and if jimmy gets to keep his license.
A year suspension would be enough to destroy his elder law practice and drive him to the shady side.He has to keep his license since Saul is licensed.none of this changes the fact that jimmy broke the law. i'm still interested to see what the results of the hearing are and if jimmy gets to keep his license.
We're going to get at least one season of full on Saul Goodman doing Saul Goodman thingsI think the major storylines are wrapping themselves up.

The guy that plays Mike Ehrmantraut seemingly ages 1 year every week.They can't continue this prequel forever with these aging actors. But I think we would already know if this was the last season.
Or giving contemptuous looks at people. Banks deserves an Emmy just for his glaring.I could watch an entire 12 episode season of just Mike taking cars apart.
Christ, he looked ancient/perpetually tired back when he ran with Ken Wahl in "The Wanderers"...or was it "Wiseguy"?The guy that plays Mike Ehrmantraut seemingly ages 1 year every week.
Philly Cream Gene?Hell they could do an entire season of Cinnabon Gene.
I think a good last scene could be Walt and Jesse flipping a coin deciding who gets to go speak to Saul to represent Badger after he got snagged by the ABQPD.I'd be stunned if this was the last season. Ratings are great, show is great. Still a long way to go. Could even get into some parallel Breaking Bad territory.
Breaking Bad went 5. This show will go at least that many seasons. They need to still do the conversion to Saul Goodman, then get into the Breaking Bad timeline and post-Breaking Bad when he's in Omaha. Lots of material left. They also need to show how Hector ends up in his wheelchair - I'm thinking it's Mike who causes that.I'd be stunned if this was the last season. Ratings are great, show is great.

Did he say nepotism was the firms concern or just chucks concern?One thing that made me wince just a tad was Hamlin's nepotism answer. Given that he is the head of a law firm, there is no way he would have answered like that, opening himself up to Kim's "And what is the name of your company" retort; he's too smart for that.
That aside, still a fantastic episode.
I was just kind of assuming they would use his first meeting with Walt as the last scene.I think a good last scene could be Walt and Jesse flipping a coin deciding who gets to go speak to Saul to represent Badger after he got snagged by the ABQPD.
The scene ends with Walt losing the coin flip and walking into Sauls office saying he is Badgers uncle....
These writers can move a story along so perfectly that they can cover all that and then some in a about 6-10 episodes.Breaking Bad went 5. This show will go at least that many seasons.

can one practice law under a different name? i suppose so, but it must be legally changed? the original law degree and first few years of jimmy would accessible to anyone that wanted to find out saul goodman's law history, correct? i'm honestly curious.A year suspension would be enough to destroy his elder law practice and drive him to the shady side.
but the bar is already involved and has the evidence in hand. what would it matter if chuck or howard withdrew their complaint, isn't it beyond that now?he will strike a deal with Howard who will withdraw the disbarment attempt as long as Jimmy does not use the McGill name?
Definitely 100% is not the last season.Five episodes left. If this is the last season, and I think it is, there isnt much more to the storyline leading up to BB. The things that will be resolved IMO.
1. Chuck - I bet he gets thrown into a nuthouse
2. Kim - I have no idea
3. Gus/Hector - How does hector end up like that and is it because of Gus.
4. How does Gus navigate around crazy Tuco and the cousins? Seems like they will be out for blood if Gus does something.
The final biggies
5. How does he become Saul?
6. What happens at the Cinnabun. I think he dies as a nice way to wrap up both series.
But they won't. Heck half the people ##### in this thread because things move "too slow" instead of just enjoying the method of telling the story.These writers can move a story along so perfectly that they can cover all that and then some in a about 6-10 episodes.
