  1. No, this episode did not have the sturm und drang of last week's but I think it set us up for an amazing Season 2. We have seen Jimmy working hard, trying to follow his brother's footsteps, never measuring up. We have seen Jimmy "do(ing) the right thing" for naught. Would he be happy working for a corporate law firm? Perhaps he can't quote case law verbatim like his brother but he has a crafty and creative legal mind, compassion and ease with "common people," a talent Chuck obviously envies. This season has been a suspenseful and beautifully crafted character study of an anti-hero. I wrote here last week that I was aching to see some sort of validation for Jimmy. I guess this is as good as it gets--Jimmy realizing his gifts, turning his back on the bullshit of corporate law, and returning to his elder clients and those on the fringes of society. Unfortunately we all know the ending. But I rarely think of BB when watching this show as I think the writing and acting are so stellar. This season was way too short.
  2. As other posters have written, I'm heartbroken for Jimmy. I thought tonight was the finale so I was very glad there is one more episode--he desperately needs some kind of validation. I understand Kim not wanting to deliver the horrid news while giving her best advice. Chuck, however, is dead to me and hopefully to Jimmy/Saul. I hope we can see that UpChuck will realize he has greatly underestimated his brother (but I'm not holding my breath). I've been this situation--worked very hard for a goal just to have it dismissed by loved ones--and this betrayal is affecting me more than is healthy.
