He's got a new show now, too. The Path. He has a few kids, and all I can think watching is Pinkman is way to young to have a teenage son! I don't even know his name on the show, I just keep thinking Jessie. A bit early to tell if the sow will be good or not, I've only watched the first episode.
Jimmy is evolving into Saul. If his brother is gone, his reason to stay even slightly above board is gone as well. I can see this being a decisive factor in his evolution into Saul Goodman.

I didn't realize we were already at the finale next week. Too fast.
I hope they don't kill off Chuck yet. There's still so much back story about his illness and his marriage. We also still don't know what happened with Chuck and Jimmy's mother. I guess those stories can still be told in flashback, even if Chuck is dead in the "present", but the interplay between them is still good.
I loved how easily, and perfectly, Chuck figured out exactly what Jimmy had done with the documents. Plus, even with how outrageous the whole story was, Kim still believed it.
Someone figured out that you can rearrange the first letters of each episode's title for season 2 to spell something. If it's an intentional clue (and Gilligan has been known to leave little clues like this in episode titles before), it could be a big spoiler for the finale...

I loved the scene between Chuck, Kim, and Jimmy so much. I loved how none of them were wrong, yet none of them had the purest of intentions and none of them were completely right, either.
Chuck correctly sussed out Jimmy's role in the misfiling. And professionally, he was absolutely right in calling Kim's attention to it. Yet the conversation reveals he's mostly upset about Jimmy stabbing him in the back with this move -- when Chuck had others stab Jimmy in the back for him for years at HHM. Chuck also allowed his insatiable need and hubris about proving to anyone and everyone that Jimmy is not the sweet charmer he plays to cause his ultimate downfall and (apparently) demise.
Kim correctly told Chuck some hard truths he needed to hear. About how he's mistreated Jimmy and about how Chuck has contributed to Jimmy being the man he is today. Yet she did this with a strong suspicion, that was later outright confirmed, that Jimmy did everything Chuck accused him of. And that Jimmy did these things while continuing to lie straight to her face about them, and did them to benefit her when Kim had made things very clear that she doesn't want to do things Jimmy's way. Not to mention that continuing to side with Jimmy her friend/lover will continue to damage her career she's worked so hard for - probably irreparably so, at some point.
Jimmy is rightfully angry at Chuck for being so cruel to him at HHM after Jimmy did so much to care for and provide for Chuck in his deteriorating condition. He's even pretty clever in using Kim's situation as an excuse to purify his motives for "getting even" with Chuck. But his need to keep up the facade means denying everything to both Chuck and Kim's faces, when they both know he is outright lying to them, and ultimately go too far with too high a cost to real people who really matter to him.
So damn good.

I'm not sure I know where the Kim thing ends, but I can't see Jimmy ruining her law career, as I'm sure that would make him not want to practice law ever again, which we know isn't the case. I suspect at some point she moves up in the world, to New York or something and leaves Jimmy behind.
I think she has to make a choice between siding with Jimmy, knowing he cuts corners, or protecting her career. And I agree, I think that choice is going to be leaving Jimmy behind because she can't afford to be involved with him anymore. Personally or professionally.
We really don't know enough about Saul during the BB years to suggest that Kim wasn't around. He may have turned her bad. They may have been married at the time he had to go into hiding. I guess it's unlikely, but who knows?
I kind of agree, she probably either left him behind for bigger things, or just because of his moral compass is spinning uncontrollably. Or he got her killed somehow.
surprised the opening montage of last week's episode hasn't been mentioned here. All one shot and brilliantly done.
what a great season this has been ... this show is sooooo good. The attention to detail is second to none and it's amazing how the show runners always know when to push which of the two main storylines.
