Pretty brutal ending. Chuck dying like that was brutal. Total mental breakdown. I wonder how Chuck's death will affect next season.
Most likely but not confirmed.
Hard work, inheritance, interest on interest accumulating, and stock and real estate speculation. It's all good.

Oh darn, would've been good just to leave it open. Tx for the confirmation.

****SPOILER****


The only thing I'm disappointed w/ is how Jimmy righted his wrong by exposing his trickery to those old folks. W/ his cunning, I'm sure he could've cooked up something much better while keeping himself in their good graces. Also, too bad no Mike in the finale.

Well I guess Chuck really was crazy..... wonder if they'll explain what really set him off at the end. Was it some sort of extreme OCD?

I assumed it was because he found himself alone by himself in house. IE he had alienated his firm, his friend, his brother, and his wife. He was a rich man pigeon holed in his house without friends. He pushed everyone away. I figured that's what cause him to break and kick the lantern off the table.

that's how i saw it. the more he pushed people away, the more his psyche suffered. his whole life pretty much revolved around his practice and jimmy taking care of him. those were his only distractions to keep his "demons" in check. with those 2 now gone his condition came back full force and he no longer felt a reason to live.

on the other side of the coin, jimmy has this constant push and pull between doing the right thing and "slippin" into saul mode. after kim's accident, he tried to bring jimmy "the good" to the forefront by fessing up to the old ladies (in his own unique way...even if it meant he was doing it at his own expense) and trying to make amends with chuck, who he always looked up to and used as of a moral compass of sorts. with chuck first pushing him away and now dying it appears this will be the turning point for saul to truly emerge.

The cinnabun part should occur after Breaking bad.. it was after Saul had to leave New Mexico after sh*t hit the fan with walter. How long after we don't know... probably a year or two after breaking bad. Probably guilty of aiding criminal, money laundering, etc etc?

this episode jimmy was in full on "fix it" mode. fixing the relationship between the old ladies, taking care of kim, and attempting to repair his relationship with his brother. we could see how jimmy could have traveled down the good guy road if his brother accepted his apology and they tried to rebuild their relationship. the rebuke from chuck followed by his death is likely the fork in the road moment...i anticipate the dark devious side, we all know and love so well, will come out and play soon. btw, chuck basically told jimmy to not have an regrets and just embrace who he is.

a few questions for next season: did chuck deposit the $3MM check from howard? what happens to the remaining $9MM howard said he was going to give chuck? was that in writing or does it even need to be as chuck was a partner? is jimmy in chuck's will? i'm guessing no and jimmy may use his "saul wiles" to try and get a chunk of chuck's estate.

I LOVED the show "Breaking Bad". For me, this is the best TV series of all time. I heard about the show "Better call Saul". Anybody have any guess how many seasons it's gonna last?

I think they mentioned they're in 2003 right now in the story? And BB started in 2005/6ish? I would guess 6 seasons max

Something tells me Jimmy ending up in the Cinnabon is the result of witness protection.

Sad to see Chuck end, McKean deserves an award for that role, he was brilliant.

After Chuck got exposed at the trial especially in front of his ex-wife, the way Howard went out of his way to kick him out of HHM and the talk with Jimmy I suspected his days were counted. Was my least favorite main character of the show so I'm ok with him out.

Really liked the way Jimmy got exposed for his old ladies manipulation. Was the settlement actually signed?

The think about Chuck is he was written to be unlikable. I think the actor did an excellent job on that. I loved the look in his eyes when he realized Howard used his own money just to get him out of the company... lol

I'm actually curious if Chuck ever cashed the cheque or if it burned up in the fire. Thus to material evidence the partnership broker in which case maybe Howard and HHM don't get taken to the cleaners. Howard's looks a bit fake, but overall he seemed like an alright guy.. Well I guess compared to chuck..

The way everyone turned against him, I wouldn't be surprised if he did cash it and burned it all in cash with him. Can't see him giving away anything in a Will.

It seems like such a short time between when he met with Howard and destroyed his house, that I wondered if he never got the chance. I also don't think any banks keep that kind of cash in the vault? That seems like a lot. I guess it could of happened.
