Walter behaved in a very similar way towards Jessie at times.

its a tough call, letting jessie's tweaker girlfriend (who would have eventually killed jessie) die or taking away a sweet old lady's last friends and manipulating her for profit. one was actually helping jessie in the long term, while the other secured the rest of her life in misery. i really didnt have much sympathy for jessie since he was a drug dealer long before walter white entered his life and that sweet old lady didnt hurt anyone. yeah saul was worse.

To be fair, having the old people settle now really is in their best interest.

I think Walter literally poisoning a kid to manipulate Jesse is a little worse than Saul manipulating a bunch of old biddies to become passive aggressive.
Still, I love that with as much of a scumbag Saul was in this episode, Chuck still manages to outdo him. He'd rather destroy the company he built and put tons of people out of work than take any knock to his pride.

yea, but out of all ppl, Chuck is the one totally in the right, cuz he's the hh(M)cgill, part. He's the reason why the firm is so big and successful anyway.
You think Chuck gives a shit about a few dozen plebs? he was ready to rake his only flesh and blood living relative, a brother... over "ethics".
while WE know Jimmy was a def 100% snake and fucked Chuck over, Chuck was probably only 60% sure that Jimmy fucked him over... add another 10% cuz he used to be slipping jimmy.
Even then with only that amount of certainty, he was ready to fuck over Jimmys life.

At first I forgot he got a cut of that settlement and was saying to my wife how he is a good guy making sure the old people got their money before they died of old age and then I was like ... nope

Jimmy being a scumbag to the old chick wasn't the only scumbag move, him just completely ignoring how fucked Kim looked and not offering to help or anything but just focused on his own win (which I am 100% sure he will completely fuck up and lose all his share of) was an even bigger scumbag move imo, since at least the old chick will become friends again with her shitty friends once she talks to them.
Still, Kim was pretty fucked up for doing all that shit on her own to prove a point to Harry
at least Harry is now on team Fuck Chuck
the Salamanca stuff was weird - the aspirin calmed his heart up, and I don't really understand why he would still try to take over Nacho's dads shop if Don Ellado flat up told him that Gus is now in charge of smuggling. I guess the "fuck don, fuck everyone" line meant he might try but I thought loyalty was a big drug lord thing

I think that was also to make sure she could cover Jimmy's half when he screws things up. She offers to cover it as long as she can and he says no no I got this and she immediately stops sending it away and calls and takes it.

they could end the show next week and there would be no loose ends. i mean except what happens to kim and chuck. i assume kim dies and maybe chuck too or he goes completely bonkers and gets locked away in the booby hatch.

well we don't know they die... it'd be easy to write them off as dead or crazy. I'm still going with my theory that whole reason Jimmy became Saul was b/c he needed cash, a lot of cash for himself and Kim. Now it could be plausible that he needs lots of cash cuz Kim got some kind of brain aneurysm and is just in perpeptual coma (recent development) and Saul is just getting money to try every treatment under the sun.
Maybe Chuck destroys HHM, and out of despair walks into a best buy.
Really, only Huell and Sugartits have a future. (on Sauls side)

BCS is one of FX's most critically acclaimed and flagship shows, there is no real chance of cancellation until the creator wants it done. The ratings are really good too, its actually the top rated cable TV show many weeks when you throw in DVR numbers.
Season finale is next week, they'll probably announce renewal around then.

Yeah, if you just look at the overnight numbers, it's pretty underwhelming. It's one of AMC's lowest performing shows only beating The Son, Humans, (co-developed with Channel 4), Turn (ending after this season), and Halt and Catch Fire (also ending), and it's ratings are lower than last season. But when you look at Live +3 and +7, it's a completely different picture. Once you take those into consideration, BCS is one of the most watched shows currently airing on cable. Its ratings are also higher than Breaking Bad ever had until its final season. I'd be really surprised if AMC didn't bring it back.
I didn't really see that as all that bad. Jimmy really doesn't realize how overworked Kim is. He still thought Mesa Verde was the only thing she was working on and was surprised when she had something else, but when he tried to ask her about it, she just brushed him off and told him she'd talk to him about it later. Kim has also had a tendency to want to do things on her own and doesn't often ask for help when she needs it. Not that I'm dismissing Jimmy being self-absorbed over his win, but I didn't really see it as particularly egregious, nor do I think he bares much responsibility for Kim's crash.

one could argue that if it wasnt for jimmy's shenanigans at Brent and Main and at HHM, kim would still be working for her full partnership with HHM and jimmy would be doing his job on the elder care lawsuit. but then it would be a REALLY boring show. plus i agree with you her shutting jimmy out was at least partially due to her overachieving nature.

Except he's mentally ill and Howard is trying to help him and preserve his legacy. Instead Chuck gets butthurt and tries to burn them all. I'm not sure how Chuck is "in the right" in this situation at all. That dude is nuts.
