Agreed. You love to hate Chuck with his sanctimonious, snobby bullshyt and how everyone moves the earth to accommodate him. But he's right about Jimmy. Jimmy with the law at his disposal is an alligator in a daycare. But Jimmy is still a valid protagonist because we've seen him meticulously labor over every detail to provide Chuck comfort. He truly loves his brother.
Michael McKean was really good in the episode. We don't give him enough credit for his acting in here.
What's sad about Chuck is that Jimmy is the only person that seemed to like and help Chuck just for being Chuck. I'm not even sure Hamlin likes Chuck. He puts up with him because he can't afford to buy chuck out. They pay someone to bring over supplies. Now we learn that Chuck's wife left him, not because she hates Chuck but rather she seems indifferent towards him. Dude is a very unappealing person.I don't know, "hate" is a strong word but Chuck does legit seem to hate Jimmy or at least envies him to the point where he wants to see him living poorly which is pretty shytty of him.
The dinner scene and the aftermath with his ex-wife was a perfect example of the dynamic going on between them. Chuck is smart as fukk and he was trying to use his intelligence to show off for his wife at the dinner table but along comes Jimmy who is much more personable. Yeah, he's kind of a loser but he's personable, charismatic, can talk his ass off, intelligent on the low and naturally funny. He had Chuck's wife's panties wet at the dinner table with all his lawyer jokes and bullshyt.
Chuck tries to be funny with her later on while their in bed and she's like.... that type of shyt eats away at a guy like Chuck. "I'm smart, I do everything the right way, he's nothing, why is he LOVED more than me? Why is he so liked? Why does everything come EASIER for him? How does he get away with it?!"
It's incredible writing
Confirmation the tape was going to be played, which meant Chuck would have to testify and Jimmy had the opportunity to expose him. Kinda disappointing, I thought it was foreshadowing something bigger.
My guess is he'll have to change identities and leave her behind for her own safety...
What the fukk are you talking about? Change identities? He changed his identity in breaking bad to escape the police. Why would he change his identity on BCS? Yet still work as a lawyer in the same city.
