oh ok..thought I was messing something lol. Although I do find it very interesting that they are both moreno/latino with names like Gustavo and Ernesto living in New Mexico. If this was NY,NJ, Fla i wouldn't care but since it is New Mexico it is very uncommon…. maybe there is something there or we all are just thinking too much lol

Honestly, the biggest thing Chuck did wrong in this episode was lie about their mom's last words.
But how are any of us surprised or angry at Chuck for recording Jimmy?
He knew Jimmy did it, he knows he broke the law. The law is SACRED to Chuck. It means more than anything and Jimmy tarnishes it and embarrasses Chuck. It's the central aspect of Chuck's character... a respect and reverence to the law. I'm not mad at Chuck at all for that.. it's what I expect him to do.

Agree with all of this. It's a show disguised as breaking but not nearly as exciting or risk taking.

i think the characters on this show have more depth and are delivering some great, nuanced performances. to this point, i still like breaking bad more but i really like this show more for its' differences and not the similarities to breaking bad.

It's not about Chuck and the law....it's about Chuck being "right" and Jimmy being "wrong". Jimmy would risk his life, future etc if it meant making sure his brother was ok.
Chuck would kill himself just to make sure his own brother does not succeed.

Like Vince said after S1 this wasn't going to be that show.BB will always be the main dish. I take BCS as an appetizer. They just serving us in a different order.
This show was never gonna be sex, drugs, and violence
Look at who ya main character is.At this point with ppl's reactions they're just hating somebody who is the bad guy on a Skylar level. If it's one thing a Vince project will provide is for someone for ppl to really hate. The dynamics of this show have ppl just ignoring character motivations and development. Chuck's a douche with a reason for why he's doing what he's doing. He's not the big brother picking on his little brother. He's legit frustrated with what Jimmy is doing.
Nah. It's definitely Chuck and the law along with him disliking what Jimmy stands for.
If Jimmy was off being a dirty cop or black market doctor, I'm betting Chuck would not do gymnastics to get at him like this as long as Jimmy didn't flaunt that behavior in his face. That he's a lawyer puts him in his field of work which he isn't happy about.
Chuck as the bad guy and everything he's doing this season is explicitly explained by him in his argument with Jimmy. He doesn't like the idea of somebody who is obviously a criminal and unethical practicing the law. He doesn't like that that's who is brother is. So he's doing what he can not help him prosper.
The recent **** is cuz he wanted to keep a client that was gonna leave with Kim who is working with Jimmy.
He doesn't want dude to succeed in any situation where it can look like he took a loss in the process.
Overall, he doesn't want Jimmy practicing the law. Probably also hates they have the same last name and that he's practicing the law and that there's any chance ppl would know that's his brother who is also is a lawyer. You add in the family history and it runs deep for Chuck.
If this was some other show with Chuck as the main character there'd probably be a more detailed exposition on his actions. Not that they're good or justified but they're his reasons.

This is how you deal with your audience when it pertains to 'cliffhangers.' TWD should take note.

I think what I've come to realize from this season is that while Chuck is a player hater, Jimmy is a scumbag. They have both had grimey moments this season, but nothing is more flagrant than recording your own brother with the intention of getting him into trouble with the law. That being said, taking advantage of your brothers medical condition to win back a client for your girl that your bro fairly won back is also flagrant. Chuck won back Mesa Verde in a legal manner, although his intentions were suspect.

Agreed. I keep thinking it sucks they don't give him one likeable thing to do or another side to his character.
All the hospital scenes and even the one where he thinks he can't be a lawyer anymore were really great scenes, and made me feel some sympathy even though the character is so unlikable every other second he's on the screen.

I wonder if Jimmy can argue that he just said what he said to help Chuck out

Did he also give Mike weaponry 'on the house' in BB or was that Walt?

He only gave him the ammo on the house, I believe. And I don't remember in BB exactly.

The law is sacred to Chuck, but he is using that as an excuse to go after Jimmy. He might have love for Jimmy because they are bros, but deep down Chuck has a lot of resentment towards him. Jimmy casts a big shadow, and Chuck has never been able to come out of his little brother's shadow. Think back to the story about their father losing the business because Jimmy stole $14k over a few years from the business. Despite the evidence, the father would never believe his "Jimmy" would do that to him.
WHen Jimmy came over for dinner, he stole the show. Chuck planted all these seeds of negativity into his wife's head about Jimmy. Jimmy's personality shined through and she adored him. When Chuck tried to tell a joke it flopped. He can't hang when it comes to Jimmy. Last but not least, typical Jimmy thinking of himself leaves their dying mother to get food. When she awakens, her only words are for Jimmy, not the "good son" who stayed at her bed side. Their mother on her death bed, and she is calling for Jimmy who left. Chuck keeps taking Ls when it comes to Jimmy. He spends his time trying to expose Jimmy to everyone, so they can see how truly bad he is. The people he loves the most {parents and wife} didn't see. His only mission right now is to get Jimmy point blank. He doesn't give a **** about anything else.
You are right about not being mad at Chuck for setting Jimmy up though. He is a **** boy, like someone in here said. You can't expect him to be any other way. I knew Chuck was ************, and I assumed he had some type of recording device in there too. The doctor even said Chuck put himself in a self induce coma or something. When I heard that, I assumed it was to punish Jimmy.
Preach!

Ernesto is a real one
That note
I don't think Jimmy played on Chuck's illness to get over. It was a simple trick of switching numbers to delay the process of the application which it did. None of that had anything to do with Chuck's "mental disorder". Jimmy himself didn't even expect Chuck to take it to the levels that he did. Chuck was just on a mission to bury Jimmy after that point.
I'm sure Jimmy can get himself out of that situation. He might have to play on Chuck's illness and do some things that will ruin/tarnish Chuck's reputation and probably his career in the process. If it comes to that, then Chuck deserves it.
I really want to know what happened to make Jimmy crossover to Saul. Last week I was certain chuck either bit the bullet, or became paralyzed as a result of the fall. I thought that would have been turning point for him. Now I need another theory.
Absolutely NAILED IT.
