I am not crazy! I know he made up those numbers. He said there would be over 1,000. As if one single game could ever have this many planets. Never. Never! I just - I just couldn't prove it. He covered his tracks, he got that idiot Phil at the Xbox shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That mountain! Are you telling me that a man can just climb it like that? No! *He* faked it! He added invisible walls! And I defended him online! And I shouldn't have. I bought his games with my own money! I even bought the re-releases and made mods to fix bugs and add missing promised features for free! What was I *thinking*? 200 endings...He'll never change. He'll *never* change! Ever since Future Shock, claiming you could enter every building, *always* the same! Fooling us blind! And *HE* gets to be a revered studio director? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance!
I don't know, Chuck. Could you open your Steam library and tell me what's there

Me neither, but like 5 people laughed so I guess I laugh too.
HAHA FUNNEH
he put all the todd games in his library to prove he's not allergic to it
heh... funny
Thats not his library, its the store page that shows he only has New Vegas in his library. Fricking morons delete this thread NOW
Exactly, the supposed punchline makes no sense. It would've been better to show a Steam profile with 3000 hours invested into Skyrim.
>I bought his games with my own money! I even bought the re-releases and made mods to fix bugs and add missing promised features for free! What was I *thinking*? 200 endings..
the punchline makes no sense when the setup says he bought the games in the first place
Was thinking the same thing. I have no idea why this is getting so many replies. Miss that IP counter

I HATED Kim, she was literally just like Skylar in terms of starting unnecessary bullshit
Am I the only mf here who thinks Rhea Seehorn cant act for shit and is overrated as frick?
Yes. Kim is my wife and you have awful taste
I didn't mind her for the most part, but when she suddenly grew a conscience and ratted out herself and Jimmy's prank that led to Howards death to the wife, I cringed really fricking hard.

Chuck did nothing wrong (besides being loony about electricity) and is the best character in the show.
>browbeat his little brother into a criminal because he's perpetually insecure about Jimmy being better him at everything
oh no woe is Chuck
>Jimmy being better him at everything
Not karaoke.
I actually think Jimmy sandbagged to make Chuck more likely to sing just to show him up
Just because your brother is mean doesn’t mean you have to be a criminal scumbag.
You're right, becoming a criminal is Jimmy's responsibility, but pushing Jimmy on this path is Chuck's.
His high functioning autism caused him to believe that electricity was giving him cancer.
its actually an episode of shizoid delusion caused by an emotional traumatic event. jimmy isnt the sole cause obviously, its his ex wife. jimmy was just something he could push the blame towards afterwards, despite jimmy being legit and helping chuck recover in a time where he needed him most. the show is over after that for me. when jimmy decides to practice law under saul goodman, that wouldve been a MUCH better ending than the slog we got after that. i like Nacho and i like Lalo, but they shouldnt be the focus of any epiaode or plot arc, rather just a plot beat/obstacle for jimmy. Lalo changing into slippers for five minutes straight is legit the most indulgent, boring slop i've ever witnesses in recent tv history.
I agree that Chuck is the best character, but by saying he did nothing wrong, you're denying the nuance of the character.
His whole character is defined by his eternal seething over his perception that his parents loved Jimmy more than him despite Jimmy being a frick-up.
Every interaction he has with Jimmy, the gears are turning in his head on how he can push Jimmy down, keep him below himself at all costs, while Jimmy just thought they were two brothers who didn't see eye to eye, but would have each others' backs until the "you're not a real lawyer" moment.
In his last interaction with Jimmy, he lies through his teeth to say the one sentence that could hurt him more than anything else.
Kim is the best character though

Was kim worse than jimmy in the final season or something? I don't remember her being worse, but I don't really remember the final season either
Her weird scam fetish is what got Howard killed when it comes down to it. Why was she so obsessed with taking him down anyway?
Howard is for Kim not different from what Jimmy represented for Chuck. Someone she'd never accept, believe he could change for the better... And her gripes with him really are more about what he represented than who he was as a person. By any metric Howard was a decent person who worked to become better, but Kim could frame him as the piece of shit rich CEO she stood against as this pro bono lone lawyer representing the little guy. Of course the irony is that when Kim actually gets a chance to do real good for the little guy... Or to destroy Howard, she picks the latter. A literal fork in the road.
Season 5/6 clearly show Kim is way more fricked up and vicious. The shit they pull on Howard is mainly Kim. She calls the shots and refuses to abort. When Howard comes to confront them, Jimmy is the one who tries to somewhat engage with Howard while Kim stays as cold and deadly as ever, refusing to engage at all. Jimmy ended up becoming the biggest criminal, sure, but before that you could tell Kim was the real c**t
I think that's it's just how Kim approaches stuff. When she's on the straight and narrow it makes her professional, focused, sharp. But once she's gone of the rails those traits make her deadly like you say. And this, 100%, is Jimmy's fault, he drags her in. Yeah she ends up getting into it, but it's still all him. She's insanely loyal to him the entire show.
The show is everyone being dragged down, degraded, and made worse. Kim just has her own way of showing it late in.
I think you should rewatch some parts of the show. Because "Jimmy is dragging Kim into this" is the initial expectation you have, but it gets subverted. Kim craves this. Jimmy is basically her dealer. And when Jimmy can't, she'll push and escalate things. The Howard stuff, the most extreme slippery they pulled, was all Kim.
>Because "Jimmy is dragging Kim into this" is the initial expectation you have, but it gets subverted. Kim craves this. Jimmy is basically her dealer. And when Jimmy can't, she'll push and escalate things.
That's my point. He hooks, gets her addicted. I'm not justifying anything she does, but Jimmy is the on ramp for how bad she gets.
When I said dealer I didn't mean he was doing the predatory shit of getting her hooked, rather that she goes through him to get her fix and she does that completely on her own. It's what kept their relationship alive
Nah, Jimmy works pretty hard to get her in. I did watch this pretty recently. It's a process and if he wasn't so persistent, they never would have gotten there.
Jimmy still had a seething hatred for Howard for most of the show, before Kim started to. She took Howard's perceived slights against Jimmy personally and never let go, even after Jimmy did.
God, I wish I had a woman hate my enemies even more than I do. That would be so fricking hot.
>t. has no enemies
Maybe the secret to getting a girl like that is to have enemies?
Jimmy's antagonistic relationship with Howard was really mostly Chuck. You can tell they have highs and lows. But it wasn't just Jimmy seething. If it wasn't for Kim I'm pretty sure the boxing match could have lead to a better ending for these two
Jimmy still antagonized him even after he found out that he was doing Chuck's dirty work. He resented him for the having the wealth, success and recognition that Jimmy wanted, as well as essentially being Chuck's surrogate brother whom he preferred over Jimmy.
Yeah, I wish they had more interactions like this.
They can't really be friends since they've been on opposing sides for so long, but since the actual reason for them to oppose each other is gone, they can at least rib each other in a friendlier way.
>the emotion in that FRICK YOU
Kek
I don't remember exactly when but in S5 after this scene Jimmy starts rebuilding his hateboner for Howard for some reason
Howard bounced back while Jimmy didn't and he hates him for it.
>but by saying he did nothing wrong, you're denying the nuance of the character.
He literally did nothing wrong. Just because he's a schizo and questionable motives for what he does, it doesn't mean that he isn't right about Jimmy and his cause was just.
HOWARD did nothing wrong. Chuck wasted years of his life and nearly ruined the firm just to frick with his brother, even knowing well that he would resort to illegal means to recover and get payback.

Video game machine?
I've seen too much of this show through various youtube clips, I think I ruined an actual viewing for myself.
you are not missing anything. 90% of it is character doing meandering bullshit that will never be brought up again. The first 3 seasons I can barely even remember anything from because there's so much filler.
I mean the episode in the OP is one of the best episodes of television in a long time.
Also the show is a prequel, so its about taking its time and exploring side characters from a show, you know how it all ends, and its just time to give those characters room to breathe and how they end up where they are when we meet them.
Slippin Jimmy doing public defender work to scrape together rent and trying to get his name out there is all great stuff.
Its character driven more than plot driven.
>filler
back to Ganker with you
Ironic because Ganker would shit on him because he misused the word.
Every event is part of the character's arc, moron.
Left to his own devices he always lapsed back into misconduct. He associated moral purity with weakness after seeing his father get taken advantage of constantly.
He was doing Chuck's bidding as usual, and Chuck was attacking Jimmy through her.
As good as the Cartel stuff and Jimmy slipping into Saul was, the first 3 seasons were probably the peak for me.
Jimmy struggling to keep his morals and not slip back and trying to make a name for himself legitimately leading up to the conflict with Chuck was probably my favorite story of all of the series.
Cartel stuff was the most boring parts

soul...
holy shit it's been over 10 years since breaking bad ended wtf
I've done the same both with better call saul and breaking bad. Guess I decided I didn't care about spoilers since I find it so hard to watch movies and shows anymore.
You should still watch Saul at least. A bunch of those moments might click with you better if you're aware of the deeper context. Breaking Bad is just moronic characters tripping over and falling into success while doing increasingly moronic things until the end. I guess the artistic message is that they are supposed to be moronic and pathetic, but then I really don't get why I would wnjoy watching them succeed for 4 seasons before it finally ends.
Threads like these is why I stay
This show was so fricking bad
I liked the part where they didn't shoot Saul in the head for being a israelite. That was pretty good.
>That mountain! Are you telling me that a man can just climb it like that?
i started a new skyrim save on a whim the other day and hopped up the mountain no problem. got the notched pickaxe without even learning clear skies. chuck is out of his depth here
BCS was way worse than Breaking Bad.
He did literally nothing wrong, what the frick was their problem?
Howard got really fricked over. Kim was just pissed he fired her so aggressively and jimmy was bored after chuck died.
Kim quits the firm that lets her do whatever she wants to go back to hamlin and then decides to be a c**t.
>immediately tries to frick Kim over when she leaves
>nothing wrong
>he tried to fire me
>so I will instead completely ruin his reputation
Jealousy, greed, and the fact that Chuck knew who Jimmy really was. Chuck was jealous of him, which definitely contributed to his behavior. Chuck had a hard time forgiving Jimmy, and Jimmy kept taking 'shortcuts', making Chuck come down on him. Jimmy was always capable, always good at what he did, but he was just better at doing it with illegitimate means.
Chuck is a homosexuals and got what he deserved
morons on internet completely misses the point that everything chuck was saying was 100% truth and that jimmy won that cause only by saying
>lol hes mentally ill
there is one other thing I think was implied for him to be off on. He assumes Jimmy is solely responsible for bleeding his parents dry, when the flashback to the store shows his dad was a mark that would leak money to anyone.
yes one of the many times chuck blamed jimmy excludively for shit that was only partially jimmy's fault
Chuck was the only one smart enough to figure out what and how Jimmy messed with the numbers, the audience knew everything he said was true because they watched it happening but not inside the show, Kim was the only one that believed him because she knew what he was capable of, but to everyone else it just sounded crazy.
its the past though. if chuck wouldve supported jimmy more after his actual change, he wouldnt have slipped again and again and again. its sabotage by chuck
I agree but Jimmy didn't help the case by trying to one-up him at every turn and fueling their competition (and Chuck's hatred)
ITS LOLOLOLOLO I CAN HANDLE JUST FINE BUT LOLOLOLOLO [in 4D] IS LIKE A CHIMP WITH A LOLO GUN

>tfw I feel bad for Chuck
Am I a bad person? Should I KMS?
I mean chuck has a lot of problems, he's a shithead but its not all wrong since as soon as he's gone its slippin' fricking jimmy full steam ahead.
Jimmy took advantage of his insane brother and destroyed his reputation, ultimately killing him. It's easy to forget just how unwell he was, because of his intellect and expertise. But he also thought he was allergic to electricity. He was paranoid and delusional, but ultimately right about his brother.
> It's easy to forget just how unwell he was, because of his intellect and expertise.
Yeah, this is a good point.
James wouldn't have to do that if Charles wasn't a c**thomosexual who hides behind a veneer of sacred righteousness in order to perform anything ranging from petty jabs to literally career ending blows upon James. Well deserved death, I only wish James didn't mop about his piece of shit brother for so long after he perished.
Why the frick are you calling him James
Because I instinctively hate pet names and have an autistic subconcious drive to be overly formal.
Jimmy only went as far as he did because chuck was forcing his hand. As complicated as their relationship was, it all comes back to chuck being jealous of jimmy because he was the last person his mom called for when she was dying. It doesn't matter if he was right or wrong about jimmy, what matters is that the reason he behaved the way he did towards him was becauae of his envy, NOT because of some "love for the law" or self-righteousness about Jimmy's actions. If jimmy was never a con artist, chuck would have done the exact same things to keep him down. It all comes back to that hostpital scene bros
I agree. Chuck was jealous at how easily Jimmy did things, how simple it was for him to make friends, build connections. It's a type of jealousy that can only be familial. And neither of them would or could see how hard the other worked. That's what pissed Chuck off, how Jimmy was able to do stuff seemingly so easy. And Jimmy saw Chuck as a beloved, but holier-than-though brother. But in the end, they both worked hard to do what they did. But Chuck was always right about Jimmy. Jimmy was always willing to do immoral things to get ahead, while Chuck was not. And Jimmy knew more than anyone how bad off Chuck was. He knew the only things keeping his brother sane was their relationship and Chuck's career. And by lying and humiliating him in public Jimmy destroyed his brother. He had nothing left. He already had a tenuous grasp on reality, and now couldn't trust himself. He knew Jimmy did it, but he also 'knew' he was hurt by magnetism. He was an intelligent man, and likely realized on some level that he was profoundly, deeply unwell. The only constants were Jimmy, and his incredibly legal achievements. And Jimmy destroyed all that to avoid a punishment he rightfully should have faced.
Eh, not really. I think chuck always envied how Jimmy was far more sociable as a person and especially how he bailed him out of jail which I’m assuming Chuck foot the bill for. After that he notices that Jimmy is still swindling and fricking people over and so he holds his disdain for him. I do think it was wrong to not give Jimmy the job at HHM but in his eyes he worked his whole life to be where he was and Jimmy only did that because he bailed him out of Jail when he hit rock bottom in Chicago.Chuck killed himself when he realized Jimmy was a better lawyer
It was a two way street. They both broke each other. If either one could have pulled out of the death spiral, maybe Chuck would be alive and Jimmy wouldn't have slid down so far.
But they couldn't fix it. I put a lot of blame on Chuck because he does everything to sabotage Jimmy WHILE he is actually working hard on going pretty straight. Pushing him away harder and harder only pushes him further and further into skirting the law and breaking it, becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
But of course no matter what, a person is always responsible for their own actions. Both men were sick in their own ways and it brought them both down.
kek
It wasn't just Chuck either, he was right about the commercial at Davis & Main, but they stifled his potential. He couldn't prove himself on the straight and narrow so he had to go to the other side to do it. That was his entire motivation, since he didn't have to do most of the shit he did to live a good life, but he wanted the challenge.
Jimmy was never the good guy
The show plays with your head by framing his antics as grand and le trolling. But he was always just fricking with people who were just doing their jobs and living their lives
If Chuck was just a small reality check, Howard was a breaking point for the viewer of that illusion.
Nah, the show is about people steadily getting worse. Jimmy isn't the "good guy" but he's not bad at the start. You could say he breaks bad though.
Chuck's death is the turning point. Jimmy will never accept the truth or who he is after that. He has to push up, up, up until he burns everything around him
>people steadily getting worse
slippin' jimmy
Nah. But you’re right.
Season 1 Jimmy was good though. He rightly returned the money the Kettlemans embezzled. And the only "Scam" he pulled was when he pulled off a fake rescue for publicity which literally has no victims. And after wading through the crazies that he attracted with his publicity, he genuinely found a good and legitimate calling in Elder Law that actually utilized his great social skills instead of his scamming skills.
Chuck literally pushed him off the straight and right path by pulling the rug out from under him.
Are you trying to tell me something.
Jimmy was evil from the beginning
this show is canon and confirms it
since nobody watched, nobody can deny it
Bravo Vince
oh I see
im this anon
i wasnt trying to say jimmy was evil from the start or even referencing the animated show. was just remarking how his nickname fit into the theme of people steadily becoming the worse versions of themselves
Im the anon who posted the animated show
im just shitposting
This had to be a tax write off. There was definitely something sinister behind this
>it's real
what the frick i thought this would be some meme-ass AI generated image
There were plenty of moments where he was shown to have a big heart and valued doing the right thing more over his epic trolling, that good core got corrupted after Chuck died but still
Chuck was a great character.

Jimmy literally did nothing wrong in the first couple of seasons. Why the frick was Chuck such an butthole.
This is why
Chucks last line of
>you never mattered to me all that much
Is probably one of the best lines ever written in television. Such a perfect and brutal end to their relationship. Literally left jimmy speechless. Jimmy loved chuck so much that it must have been the worst thing anyone has ever felt. And to top it all off, it's literally a lie. Jimmy does matter to chuck. It's in the form of seething and living rent free in his head his entire life, but that still counts
>you never mattered to me all that much
it was also a big, fat lie and cope reasoning. Jimmy mattered to him all right as being a never ending thorn in his side since childhood. The whole allergic to electricity thing was a manifestation of his intense hatred for him. Big reason it always worsened whenever jimmy fricked him over
Best thing for him would have been to dump jimmy asap and never talk to him ever again. Guaranteed his "allergy" would have disappeared soon after and he could return to his boring law office warrior stance
Wasn't it more to do with his wife leaving him? Yes things got worse when dealing with Jimmy's bullshit, but that seemed to be stress in general, not just Jimmy.
What are you guys talking about? He wasn't ACTUALLY allergic to electricity? Wtf? How did I miss this??
Also Chuck's worse electricity moment was right after he lied to Jimmy and told him Jimmy never mattered to him, the biggest lie. BCS is at its core a story about lying to yourself/others and how it leads you in a self destructive path
The episode quoted in OP proves this bro.
Jimmy slips a live battery into chucks pocket before the court hearing, only to reveal he planted it there during his witness examination of chuck. Right before this he gets chuck to admit he would feel a small battery if it was close to his person.
His wife leaving him is just another symptom of his autism. In that dinner scene where jimmy is trying to help, you can see chuck SEETHING at how effortlessly Jimmy can charm her, like he does everyone, while Chuck is awkward and frustrated
I mean, I knew that. I'm just figuring it was a major contributor.
Electricity allergy was stronger whenever Chuck would lie more to Jimmy, not the other way around. It started when he told Howard to refuse Jimmy
Because he stole from the cash register, but he was still the favorite. Chuck couldn't cope with that. But in the eyes of the law, stealing from the register is always wrong, so Chuck gave himself to the law to fight back against a world where Jimmy is the favorite. But despite a pretense of objective moral authority, he was still wielding it out of spite. When Jimmy entered his sacred domain, that's when Chuck lost it. He wasn't allergic to electricity, he was allergic to Jimmy.
>he stole from the cash register,
Wasn't that just his father getting scammed and Chuck just assumed it was Jimmy but he only did it the one time
It's ambiguous. We know Jimmy took stuff from the register. But his dad was definitely getting scammed often and it's clear he doesn't have the best business sense. We don't' know how much Jimmy took. He did take the special coins though since he goes back later and gets them. And it's logical to think he took more than that, and that Chuck didn't fabricate his entire claim, but it might have been exaggerated.
We just don't know.
Chuck wanted to be better than Jimmy more than anything, it was that hate that presumably motivated him to leave Chicagoland and go west to start his own firm instead of being a small fish in a big pond. Yet if he'd accepted that Jimmy could change they could have grown the firm and dominated the entire southwest with Kim's bank stuff and Jimmy's elder law
Imagine another timeline
>Chuck as Professor Emeritus
>Howard holding down the fort at HHM, eventually makes up with his wife
>Kim and Jimmy create Wexler-McGill
>Kim using her connections from Schweikart-Cokely and Mesa Verde to help her doing pro-bono stuff
>Jimmy becomes genuinely invested into helping seniors like Sandpiper residents
The point of the show is to accept what was lost instead of shutting it down
"It's all good man" wasn't a wordplay meant for Jimmy's clients, it was meant for Jimmy himself so he could keep going without ever addressing his brother's death and his regrets
becomes genuinely invested into helping seniors like Sandpiper residents
Jimmy making all the old ladies hate the main lawsuit lady was the point of no return for me. Anyone that fricks over innocent, nice old people like that deserves to be punished.
Their parents had a soft spot for Jimmy as the youngest of the family. When, IIRC it was their mom on her deathbed with Chuck at her side and she's instead asking after Jimmy who's absent, at that point Chuck gained a permanent hatred of Jimmy. Though it wasn't the only emotion he had with Jimmy or the outward nature of their interactions, it was the dominant aspect behind everything in his relationship to Jimmy.
It's more of an inferiority complex than sheer hatred. He'd have kept a decent relationship with Jimmy if Jimmy was still working the same low level job at HHM for the rest of his life
I don't know about that. Jimmy could be a good little toadie forever, but their parents still would have loved Jimmy the most and asked for him on their deathbed even though Chuck was the good son. Nothing Jimmy could do would change that and how Chuck felt about it
Yes but Chuck would be able to cope with it by being "above" Jimmy without ambiguity. Remember that Chuck actually saved Jimmy and gave him a second chance so while he'll always have a good amount of hatred for him it's not *just* that. If Jimmy stays in his little box, Chuck is fine and while Jimmy will always be the only one who actually truly loves the other in this relationship, Chuck wouldn't throw shit at him randomly. He'd just be like S1 Chuck without the plots or the electricity
Well I did say it's not *just* that, and their relationship isn't dominated by it. It's just something permanently lurking under the surface for Chuck in regards to their relationship, and it doesn't matter how mature or rational Chuck is, you can't hold onto something like that and it not influence the way you are towards someone, even subtly.
Nothing wrong except
>fake a disaster on live TV to appear as a hero
>attempt to scam a client with a fake car accident
>blackmail a client to bankroll his legal practice
He was handling Sandpiper mostly above-board (not counting his little tricks when he was growing the class) but Chuck was never wrong about him. He never did things honestly. He never had a conscience about his behavior. He was always dangerous and dishonest. Chuck says “Slippin Jimmy with a law degree is like a chimp with a machine gun” and he’s right, from day one all the way through to the end Jimmy’s a dishonest attorney who breaks the law at every turn and eventually goes to prison for the rest of his life for it, and along the way he enabled a pile of petty and not-so-petty criminals who would have been arrested if not for his scheming.
From day one? No, from the season 1 finale, maybe.
The show makes it pretty clear that jimmy will always be slippin jimmy, always.
Chuck is an butthole moron boomer, but jimmy wasn't some saint and was constantly at odds with his criminal side.
>no one thought he was capable of change
>so he didn't change
If Chuck genuinely believed who knows how it would've turned out
So the modern zoomer only knows the word chicanery from this show right?
Yes, but I don't think it was a commonly known word otherwise anyway.
I never watched the final season of this. Is it worth it? I don't know if I wanna rewatch the whole thing for it tho.
It's not the best season of the show but I think it's worth the watch.
i didnt like the ending but apparently im in the minority there
Yeah you are.
Jimmy finally manned up to face the music.
It was more about the Chuck surrogate brother part I think. But it wasn't all black, sometimes Howard showed vulnerability and Jimmy tried to help a little.
I think the part that truly doomed these two is that Jimmy offloaded the guilt for Chuck onto Howard and then projected all those suppressed feelings on him
Yeah, Howard got a really raw deal.
Worth the watch but honestly it all wrapped up neatly after season 5 finale.
It's the weakest season but the highs are really high
The sign is a subtle joke. The firm is called "Better Call Saul", where call and Saul both end in the sound "-all", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Saul. The brother of the sign's owner was named Chuck, implying that the two words beginning with "C" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, if Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Better Cuck Chuck", which is exactly what happens in the show.
holy fricking shit
Now that I think about it, was better call saul the last good tv show? Has there been anything good since, all I see is some star wars shit and documentaries out the ass
Nothing. It's all wokeflix and pedo mouse shit.
It had a few good scenes but most of it was a boring snorefest.
There hasn't been a good show since the 80s.
Lemme guess, you thought mr. robot was a boring snoozefest as well
Some people can't handle their kino
I watched the first season but didn't find it to be anything too special, yeah.
It was post season 1.
shogun seems alright
is that a flintlock? shouldn't the japs only have matchlocks at that point?
Pistol was given to her by white sailor
still, at that point, flintlocks were incredibly rare/expensive. it triggers me.
>giving an incredibly rare/expensive gift to a chick who you want to bang but won't put out
Many such cases, anon. It's unrealistic, but not unrealistic enough to be batshit insane.
I cannot give my opinion because I cease to think when asian women are around. I cannot function. The urge to breed is too strong.
No blacks, but it's pretty shit past that. Chick show disguised as a man show.
thats a flintlock, not a shogun
Succession is worth watching. I'm still seething over this fat smug b***h.
These look interesting gonna check them out, thanks for the suggestions
No, not really.
I liked Severance
That show has no right to be as good as it is. They better fricking release the second season this year
>tfw no crazy eyes work waifu or dead wife who is actually alive as some kind of experiment???
wife is wife no matter what
aybe it's silly, but my enjoyment of Severance increased by at least like 30% when I kind of willingly deluded myself into thinking/feeling like it was like a Portal adaptation, because how weird and similar Lumon felt to Aperture
I think Resident Alien is funny
Did The Terror air after BCS? If so, The Terror. Season 1 only, of course.
What happens after season 1?
the terror is basically a mini series, so season 2 is not connected to season 1, its just a different story with similar themes.
It's basically a different show that merely leverages the brand name for recognition. The Terror S1 is based on the book The Terror, S2 is an unrelated story and holy shit it sucks eggs.
I haven't watched the show, I read the book, but from what I saw of how they handled the events of the back half of the story (the full collapse of the expedition, changing Hickey's holy kino moment of turning into a cannibal god complex complete fricking psychopath before freezing to death with his crew into some bullshit of trying to control the monster, basically every way they handled the monster) the show seems to end in a complete burning shit pile, which is unfortunate because when I saw that they did a TV adaptation and the scenes from the first episodes seemed really well done I was really excited before I saw discourse over how badly it ended.
It's the last one I truly cared about. I heard some good things about that White Lotus show though.
succession is very good. it kinda spins its wheels a bit but that also plays into the themes of the show.
i like grrm's show
When was chernobyl again?
No body talks about this show anymore it's crazy how quickly everyone forgot about this
my wife and i have rewatched it four times
2019. i rewatched it last week. still great.
>chernobyl
the what now?
Chernobyl was so kino bros
these were real people that gave their lives. turning them into funny memes is degrading, not just to them but to you as well. is this who you want to be?
>turning them into funny memes is degrading
no, we honor them
shut yo mouf
There's been no A tier show since Better Call Saul.
Andor is good
Aye, yet it's the least watch Star Slop show by far. Probably because there's not a lightsaber battle and Darth Vader breathing every 5 minutes.
Mandalorian season 1 was good too.
Nah it was slop. It could have been good if it was just a story about a bounty hunter. The moment baby yoda showed up it was over.
It was fine. Season 2 was bad. Season 3 was total shit.
its watchable but not great. the first episode with the space mexican tribe is a major turnoff for me and all the guards and imperials were white, which is obviously by choice (immigrants, ICE blablabla). i didnt watch more of it and i hear there is better episodes, but i dont trust modern disney to deliver.
>fond memory of both BOB and the pacific
>master of the air release
>can't get past the first episode
what ? is it me or did they really fricked up something ?
>Has there been anything good since
Well BCS ended like a year ago, so thats a pretty small timeframe. Unless you mean since 2015, when the shows first season aired.
In that case I liked picrel.
>only been a year and a half
what the frick
I like For All Mankind despite the liberal slant. It's a pretty cool alt-history setting and shows the Space Race creating social change. It sometimes dips too much into melodrama or gets too preachy, but the cast is amazing and the progression of relationships over seasons, particularly between Baldwin and Poole, is excellent.
But to add to this, BCS is well above any of the shows mentioned in this thread. It's easy to argue it being the best show ever made and it actually ends properly unlike Sopranos or House of Cards.
>it actually ends properly unlike Sopranos
But that show did end?
I saw Charles McGill at a copyshop in Albuquerque yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his space blanket shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuck as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen folders with the wrong number in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the files and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence because of my condition,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a disease. After she scanned each folder and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by screaming about chicanery really loudly.
>blocks you're path
Wat do, Ganker? My sources say "brain her" or "glass her" but I'm not sure which one is right.
the sexual energy emanating off that woman was off the charts
depends, are you the kind of lawyer guilty people hire, anon?
so sexy
THE KETTLEMILKERS
Chuck is almost exactly like Walter, aside from the obvious career and legality difference.
Both of them were motivated by their pride and ego to the point where they destroyed their families just to get some status.
I haven't seen anyone point this out but their similarities really go in with the overarching themes over BB/BCS.
still not even sure what make waltuh quit his science gig, rejected love? He always tiptoed around why he just left
It's pretty clear it's because of Gretchen.
He quit because of Gretchen, it's not made clear in show but the reason was he got intimidated by Gretchens wealth and that made him feel small so he left the company
It wasn't the wealth at all, she just cucked him with the other guy and Walt couldn't stop seething about it so he left.
Walt dumped her, she dated him after. Walt was just seething he wasn't top dog, that's why he dated down and married Skyler who was so worthless he felt incredible in comparison
Walt dumped Gretchen cause she came from a rich background and could somewhat combat him on an intellectual front. Walt comes from a poor background with a dead dad and a poor relationship with his mom.
Frick the ending.
>In another world, BCS isn't bound by Breaking Bad's ending and the entire show is just Slippin' Jimmy/Kimmy scams
BCS is barely bound to BB anyway
>BCS is barely bound to BB anyway
Sure, apart from
>all the gus sideplot stuff
>all the mike sideplot stuff
>all the nacho sideplot stuff
>all the lalo sideplot stuff
>and all the REMEMBER ME cameos like tuco and huell
and all that shit dragged it down sadly. it was perfectly fine as sleazy lawyer show with crazy brother and all the BB stuff wouldve been better in sprinkles. post season 3, they just didnt care anymore i think
Normies complained about too much lawyer stuff in the lawyer show, can't be helped.
at least we got 3 good seasons and you can end it after the post-chuck part without missing anything vital anyway. i'll probably do another rewatch soon
>said calmly
What video game is this btw?
Kino. Kafka-esque, even
Ace Attorney
Nacho was a kind soul and was dealt a shitty hand.
He was a piece of shit drug dealer who only opposed the cartel in the interest of his immediate family.
Never killed and wouldn't kill. He was flawed but he did what he had to
>Never killed and wouldn't kill
Anon, a major plot point twice is when he tries to kill people. Twice. The 1st time a different solution is proposed, the second time it only nearly brain deaded the guy, just was luck they didn't die
He never killed innocent people*
In episode 2 he was on Jimmy's side and deescalated things iirc
He wanted Tuco dead because he saw what Tuco was gonna do to him at some point. Actually he felt it when that guy's bone (or tooth?) crashed into him.
He wanted Hector dead because Hector was going to kill his father.
Both reasonable self defense moves against mass murderers
I don't disagree with anything you said. Just correcting anon's crazy false assertion about "wouldn't kill."
He's in the business of ruining people's lives. He knows it, he just doesn't care. The guy is a crook and thug through and through, he just has some humanity still.
Drugs are bad but actually walking to your death like that is a feat only few people can do.
He's a sympathetic character and you want things to work out better, but he's not a kind soul and not a good person.
Breaking Bad, and Better Call Saul: Get mixed up in drugs, end up doing horrible things and having horrible things happen to you.
Choosing to die for your father is enough to be called a kind soul
Nah. Commendable, but not enough.
It's a lot heavier on the moral scale than being a drug dealer though. He didn't just choose death, it was going to be a horrible one.
Nah. He ran with Tuco and only did what he did to save his father. He got in too deep and that’s what happens when you’re a drug dealing cartel member. Not a good person.
This thread reminded me that I still have the last season left.
Also, I gotta say, I'd seen the I'M NOT CRAZY scene memed on Ganker before, but man, when it actually went down, it was fricking great.
We've got two different tv threads on Ganker right now and it's beautiful.
Someone post the gif, you know the one.
I got ya, pal
Why is drama discussion in Ganker more active than in Ganker
it's off topic so it hasn't been discussed to death and there aren't entrenched shiposters and shitheads.
Is there a game developer here?
I would like to talk with him for a specific question.
I am, but I don't talk to poojeets that shit on the street
I'm not on the street, I'm looking to exchange experiences and talk a bit, it's not too much to ask my friend. I would like to hear your expert opinion:
Can you tell why there are no true next gen graphic games for consoles? I was hoping for a lot more, like amazing unbelievable graphics.
Do you think that will change with the PS5Pro or next Gen like PS6, Xbox?
And I read a news about AI and game development, an AI can create games in 5-10 years itself (possibly people laid off...?) How do you see that?
Kim? My wife.
would be kino if Todd got arrested while hiding in the dumpster
HE DEFECATED THROUGH A SUNROOF
So someone has counted the number of planets and found that it doesn't add up to 1000?
Ironically I think the only legal outlet for what jimmy actually enjoys doing would be some kind of government investigator or spook given free reign to cause mayhem. He likes the intuition and creativity of breaking the law and manipulating people directly, marketing and sales bullshit alone would never satisfy him, too far removed. the dry corporate law he would have handled at hhm, spending the better part of a decade on mammoth cases like sandpiper with endless technical minutia, he'd be completely miserable.
in retrospect, having watched worse shows. this show was SO good until Chuck died.
this happens to me sometimes with tv shows, where I'll watch them and I think they're pretty good, but amazing, but then I watch a bunch of other shit, and realize how bad tv is, and then realize in retrospect how good a certain show is.
I had this same experience with House. I think it's an implicit bias I have against a style of show. Because I actually didn't have this feeling with Chernobyl.
Plus, anyway BCS fumbled the bag after chuck anyway.
kino thread
Add something to it
I don't have anything to contribute.
kino movie
kino post, kino anon. events of all sorts needs witnesses by natures law. you experiencing the thread adds something automatically. something something if a tree falls and no ones around etc, you know the drill.
I am not crazy! I know he denied those numbers. He said there wasn't over 6,000,000. As if one single nation could never have that many ovens. Never. Never! I just - I just couldn't prove it. He covered his tracks, he got that idiot Gobbels at the ministry to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That clique! Are you telling me that a race can just make international conspiracies like that? No! *He* faked it! He forged records! And I defended him on Time Magazine! And I shouldn't have. I even sold weapons to his soldiers! What was I *thinking*? Labor based economies free from banking magnates...He'll never change. He'll *never* change! Ever since WW1, claiming you were spared by that commando, *always* the same! Fooling us blind! And *HE* gets to be a revered leader? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance!
least unfunny poltard
Least israeli israelite
I thought it was funny when gays were circlejerking Breaking Bad, like it was as big as LOST only because it was the first big popular post-LOST show lmao
lost was cool until it got moronic
have you considered that bb was actually good?
??
Objections of quality aside, BB was never as big as LOST.
who gives a frick about lost lmao
>newbie can't read a reply chain
sasuga
do you have schizophrenia? lost ruined itself go cope somewhere else about your shitty show
>newbie spergs out
:c
Kek.
1st season was really good, but the rest was just meh, I didn't even bother with the last one.
Honestly think BB is way better.
BB and the beginning of BCS are almost polar opposite approaches to drama, very unusual opinion
It's just in BCS nothing much is happening and what is, is kinda boring.
Once chuck is taken care of, what is left?
Seeing how he corrupts Kim?
Kim is the one doing the corrupting
Does anyone have the Jesus Christ version of the Chuck pasta?
I AM NOT CRAZY! I am not crazy! I know he broke that commandment! I knew it was "remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy". One after "thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain". As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn't prove it. He – he covered his tracks, he got those fishermen from Galilee to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This sorcery? He's done worse. That paralytic! Are you telling me that a man just happens to take up his mat and walk like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jesus! HE HEALED A MAN ON THE SABBATH! And I remained silent! And I shouldn't have. Pharisees took him into their own homes! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since before Abraham was, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands off of the lepers! But not our Jesus! Couldn't be precious Jesus! Healing the blind! And he gets to be the Messiah!? What a sick joke! I should've stoned him when I had the chance! And you – you have to crucify him! You-
Oh frick holy shit. Every time.
Why is this so fricking funny?
He did walk it back when he noticed how much of a shit move that was.
>Healing the blind!
