Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul

Another excellent episode. Although, I missed have missed something on the pills with Don Hector, or they just didn't show what happened yet. Guessing he changed them back? I can't remember his name right now but it seems like that happened based on the conversation he had with his dad about a bad man coming to the shop to take over. That or he had the conversation with his dad as a cover.

Well...

Considering they put the phone number for the National Suicide Prevention Hotline, I guess they were alluding to Chuck killing himself.

It (Chuck's death) really would advance Jimmy's evolution to Saul.

When Chuck took the baseball bat to his electric meter, I was thinking that he could just burn his house down and it'll solve the problem of the unknown power. I had no clue he'd actually burn it down.

I'm going to guess that now without the law, Chuck didn't think he had an existence. I swore though that Chuck would eventually die while running naked into traffic.

Wife says, "Is Chuck dead?"

I said, "Oh yeah, he's dead."

She says, "How do you know?"

I say, "He's dead... it was obvious with his trying to kick the lantern off the desk."

Long silence... suicide hotline phone number appears...

"See! He is toast!"

re: chuck.

i do not think he's dead. the listing of the suicide hotline number doesn't imply that he succeeded... just that he attempted.

suicide by self-immolation? nah. chuck ain't quang duc. almost anyone attempting such a method would at some point try to flee. dying by fire is a hellacious way to go. my guess is we'll find chuck hospitalized and/or institutionalized next season.

i think chuck's arc ends when he finally admits how much he needs jimmy. whether jimmy will be there to hear it, though, is anyone's guess. as i've stated before, i think chuck will die like his mom: alone, in the hospital, and crying out jimmy's name over and over.

I was reading a newspaper column about how there isn't enough "Breaking Bad" in "Better Call Saul" and at this point there should be more.

I'd actually argue for the same or even less tie-ins and continue to allow it to either ease into "Breaking Bad" or stay separate. I don't really want to see Jesse, Walter White, Skyler, Walter Jr., Hank, Marie or Gomez at this point.

I do want to see Chuck hang out with Tucker dig some holes though. They're both bat sh*t crazy.

We'd really find out that...

Gustavo Frings is the real mastermind if somehow he induced Hector's stroke/heart attack (non-naturally and non-stress inducing) only to torture Hector, which is why he rushed to make sure Hector didn't die.

I know Peter Gould said that Gus wanted Hector to die on Gus' terms, and I like that.
