The fact that Jimmy's chicanery made a real-life lawyer so torn on whether or not what he did was right, is SO PERFECTLY in-line with Jimmy's character it's insane
-
The fact that he committed battery with a battery is some arrested development level writing
-
Nice ! Can't wait to see "Real drug dealer reacts to Breaking Bad" next !
-
I think Chuck and Jimmy are the perfect examples of "doing the right thing for the wrong reasons" and "doing the wrong thing for the right reasons" respectively
-
There's a bit of a joke. The Witness guy was a victim of battery, because he was given a battery.
-
"This is one of the best instances of TV lawyering of all time. I'm giving it an A-."
Sounds like a law school professor to me. -
It always hurts my heart how Chuck still tells Jimmy that he defecated through a sunroof letting know that no matter what Jimmy does now, his brother is not gonna see him as worthy of what he does
-
The best thing about this is that Bob Odenkirk and Michael Mckean are two comedic actors, yet again in this series delivering some of the best dramatic performances on television
-
It was so satisfying to see the reaction of the three judges when they realized this was a personal matter rather than a professional one.
-
Objection: Kim and Jimmy werenโt technically law partners. They just shared a law office.
-
Now that itโs all done, I think my favorite twist of BCS is that Chuck was unhinged and hated his brother, while Howard was actually a very decent man.
What a tragedy -
But a battery not powering anything won't radiate any energy. They could have argued that planted battery won't be felt by the guy! I guess the guy didn't know his electronics well...
-
This shows how you can make a compelling, realistic legal scene without flashy cuts or hack writing; you just need four seasons of well-crafted, slow-burning tension and conflict between the main characters. Easy.
-
All this set-up by Kim and Jimmy, but ironically Chuck's breaking point came when the prosecutor used the words "Even if Chuck was schizophrenic..." Beautiful writing.
-
They had a New Mexican Lawyer on staff of the show to fact check and guide the show. There was an episode dedicated to that lawyer as she passed.
-
I love how eager he was to start talking after every clip. You can really tell he's wanted to talk about this episode for a LONG time.
-
You didnโt comment on my favorite argument that Jimmy made: if Charles can exaggerate and lie about his illness to garner Jimmyโs sympathy to induce a confession on a hidden tape, Jimmy can give a false confession just to lift Charlesโ spirits.
-
Objection: you did not criticize Howard for wearing a contrast collar.
-
I think it's particularly fantastic because of the fact that it does push the boundaries of legality because Jimmy himself is known for that. The whole point is that what he does might not be legal, but it's gray enough that he gets away with it. And the fact that he's doing this in a disciplinary hearing, not a trial, gives them an easy excuse for bending the rules.
The writers clearly knew what they were doing.
