The 2nd season of this great show was even better than the first. I haven't liked Chuck since last season's revelation that he was sabotaging Jimmy largely out of selfish pride, but at least then you could sympathize with him. That's becoming harder and harder to do with each passing episode. He only sees the worst in his brother and, as Kim said last week, it is one of the reasons why Jimmy is the way that he is.

Wonder if they'll get further into Chuck's back story like what happened to his wife.gf? Can't remember which she was and how he came into fearing electricity.

Chuck is the jealous brother on steroids. He's now using Jimmy's love for chuck as a weapon. Jimmy has been masterful at covering his tracks but slips twice because he cares more about his brother than about covering his own ass. Chuck using that against Jimmy says a lot about what a weasel he's become. |

I can really see both angles here. In one moment, Chuck is a douchebag that treats Jimmy like a stupid dog. The other angle is that he's absolutely right for trying to get His client back. Jimmy cuts corners and commited a felony.

I don't believe Jimmy is dead to rights here.
I wouldn't be surprised if Jimmy goes guns a blazin' to get Chuck committed. He'd have the support of Chuck's doctors, and could write off that recording as him playing along with a delusional fantasy. Getting Chuck committed could ruin both HHM and the McGill name, necessitating the advent of Saul (in more ways than one). |

Jimmy played it pretty well, I bet he knew Chuck was listening......
The way he kept saying something like "But you feel better, right?" He can just say that he was desperate to help his brother get out of the funk and lied to him. |

Is anyone beginning to realize how many lives Walter White ****ed up?
Gus, Mike, Saul. These guys had it made, and are good at their craft. The new guy Walter comes in, thinks he knows better, and ****s it ALL up. |
