Main is going to get his righteous indignation about Jimmy's commercial shoved up his ass by his other partners when they see how many clients it netted (especially compared to their previous shitty effort to get mesothelioma clients).

This will anger Chuck further and he's going to do something to get Jimmy fired.  Constantly skirting the ethical rules (and getting rewarded for doing so) really puts a bee in Chuck's bonnet and he will fuck his brother over it.

Is that all you got? Haha. Nope. This show is fucking awesome. Neck and neck with Vikings as the best show on T.V.

Well, I was pretty fucking wrong about nearly everything.

Mike is a goddamned badass.  "Is that all you got?"

I've come to like this show very much. 

I wasn't a big fan of the measured pace at first, but over time it has grown on me.  I appreciate the attention to detail.  I'm just so used to shows so desperate to stay on the schedule that they blow their wad early and have nothing left, I guess, that I wanted the quick fix. 

I'm still waiting for him to become Saul, but that looks like it may be even another season off.  Three episodes left, so it may still happen.  If it doesn't? I'm fine with that. 

I wondered if Vince G was a one-hit wonder and doubted he could recreate the power of Breaking Bad.  What's interesting to me is that this is a very, very different show that's set in the same universe. It tackles similar themes of personal morality and the vast grey area that exists between right and wrong, but handles those themes in a completely different manner.  And yet does so with just as much skill and with a touch just as deft. 

I was impatient in the beginning, but am now along for the ride.  It's not "must see" yet like Breaking Bad was.  I don't build my schedule so I can watch in real time,  but I'm always glad to find it on the DVR on a Monday night.

We saw the initial step: hanging the middle finger at D&M's establishment values.

The colorful wardrobe, the inflatable dancing guy, his return to strip-mall office space...all Goodman hallmarks.

Opening scenes are always fantastic. This week's was great as well.

The guy that was hi-jacked saw the blue car though. I bet that is why Mike gets out the big gun seen in the previews for the season finale.

Fantastic opening scene. This show is incredible.

I really, really like it.  But it hasn't reached the "incredible" level yet.  It's a lot better than most everything else on TV, but it doesn't hit home with everybody.  Even my breaking bad loving friends and family have let it drift.  Maybe they don't appreciate the long game (I didn't at first).  And you have to admit the pace can be deliberate to the point of absolutely crawling sometimes.  I'm encouraging people to watch it, but not having much luck getting anybody who wasn't in the Breaking Bad universe to even give it a shot. 

Sopranos?  Always back to that. I resisted, but one episode and I was completely hooked.  Same with Breaking Bad.   This show just doesn't have that same "drag you in and make you stay" hook that shows I'd rate as "incredible" do. 

It's very very good for what it is, but I just don't think it will ever have broad appeal.

Agree it's a very good series but not as compelling as some others have been, most of whom we agree on.

The first scene, explaining the genesis of Chuck's perpetual hate for Jimmy, was really good.   

The rest left me a little flat.   As far as "season finales" go, it was lacking.   

I did find the secret hidden in the episode names interesting, but it should have paid off.

Mike reminds me a little of Tony S.  As far as their badassery but also having their own internal human struggles. And having to differentiate the two in their lives.
