Just got done watching the Monday's episode!!

Even the wifey took a deep breathe after Chuck hit his head. The look on Jimmy's face knowing his shadyness might have caused his brother his life got me all messed up man.

This show is fire. I can't wait for next week.

 

[computersputin]

 Chuck looking like that Mr Crab meme.

 

[calibeebee]

Damn, chuck hitting his head prob means the cops will review the tapes. hopefully store clerk guy is on his stuff like he said he would be. Kims not gonna be happy.

Also with Ernesto seeing the whole thing go down, maybe he gets the help from Papa Gustavo to put the squeeze on Jimmy for the truth.....

[calibeebee]

Nah he wasn't in BB. He's not related to Gus. But he is related to Gus.....

 

[townbidness]

Nope. He prbly gets wacked before BB

 

[delete1234]

Actually now that I think about it was a good parallel watching Jimmy pull of his crime on Chuck and Mike pull his on Salamanca and how they both ****** up/feel bad about something they feel responsible for.

From the AV Club's review..

“Call 911, come on!” Jimmy seethes at the folks in the shop, who seem not nearly concerned enough about his brother. He can’t help, but he can’t leave until help has arrived. He has set the events in motion, they have spun out of his control, and now he stands in the wings, a spectator. Mike, too. It seems he failed to realize that Nacho would naturally take personal exception to his attempt to sic on the cops on the Salamancas. His self-satisfaction at pulling off the perfect job blinded him to those unintended consequences. Now he’s standing somewhere he didn’t expect to be, subject to forces of which he thought himself the master.

Only Kim seems to be seeing two moves ahead, making decisions in full awareness of where they will take her. She’s crossed a line, but at least she noticed. Jimmy and Mike didn’t watch their wake, and now they find themselves at the mercy of the waves

I love Jimmy's lame film crew.. how skeptical the two guys were at first.. but now they're kind of into it and they added a make-up girl.

And Mike's story has been great to see him operate and work, but you know the lessons he's going to learn. He's talked of half measures, leaving witnesses, pulling the trigger, etc. So it's interesting storytelling because you don't have to wonder "Will he or won't he" become this guy.. we know who he becomes, so instead we get the story of how he gets there.

And I hope more people realize what a great character Kim is.. not just because she had Jimmy's back, even though she knew he did dirty things.. but because she's a complex character who knows who she is, who Jimmy is, and she accepts it and moves on. She's not battling with anyone over it anymore, she's out to accomplish her things even with the dirt Jimmy brought to her.

Exactly.

I'm thinking ernesto is gus' son. Gus makes a brief cameo at the end of the finale and amc cuts the check for season 3. This has a different feel from breaking bad because there's less characters to follow and you get more invested into the 2 main characters. I like it like this also.

Chuck puts the law before Jimmy and Jimmy puts himself before the law.

 

[Master Zik]

Yall need to stop with this Ernesto obsession

All of a sudden Gus got a son?

2 Black guys with Hispanic names can't exist on the same show set in New Mexico?

 

[esaw612]

Was just about to say, who came up with the Ernesto theory? 

 What if Chuck's head injury actually heals his anti electricity sickness? He gonna wake up and forget all about it

Then he'd be a real problem

Keep in mind if it doesn't he was taken to a hospital again that's surging with electricity, he gonna be hooked up to all the monitors. He'll probably catch a stroke if Jimmy doesn't show up to disconnect ****. Chuck will work himself up over this ****.

The scene with Jimmy, Chuck and Kim was the one man..That was just A1 acting on everybody's part especially Kim. The way it went from it looking like she was heated and about to turn up on Jimmy to completely flipping it and taking his side and cutting into Chuck. Then the scene in the bed with Jimmy, she sounded like a ******* boss ordering a hit. She the real MVP of this episode
