Wow, you guys are the first reactors I've seen to nail Chuck from the start. For a lot of viewers, the fact that Chuck was the one to stop Jimmy from being hired was a big reveal, but not for you guys. Good job! But that last scene sure stings a lot more when you don't see it coming 😅
@@del1655People are just ignorant or not that smart. Because it is very obvious in a show. And both Chuck and Jimmy are Complex characters. People who hate Chuck are missing the point as well.
I do love Howard's acting in the scene where Jimmy gets turned down again, like how he catches himself from saying "we don't want you" to instead say "the case is all we want". Like he's trying to be as honest as possible while still going along with Chuck's farce.
15:41 "Come on Chuck. I mean he's doing great on his own, but I feel like that one two punch..." -Sam 15:55 "$20 million. Or we'll see you in court." there's your punch.
That moment at the end of Episode 9 with Chuck always struck me because after watching Breaking Bad we know he's right to fear 'Slipping Jimmy with a law degree' being a danger to other people, which ends up being a hundred percent correct, yet it feels like if he had still believed in Jimmy a little bit more, given him this chance, maybe he never goes down that path. It's a really tragic 'what if'.
The sad truth is that whilst Chuck is right about the risk of Jimmy misusing the law and that people will indeed get hurt because of it, his refusal to believe his brother can change is what drives Jimmy to double down and become the Saul Goodman we know, and will do exactly what he feared he would: use the law to help criminals get away with hurting innocent people. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Chuck is not responsible for all of the unethical and illegal things that Jimmy has already done in this first season. Chuck is not wrong about Jimmy’s fundamental character, nor is he wrong to want to protect HHM from the re-emergence of Slippin’ Jimmy - a leveled-up Slippin’ Jimmy, actually. That’s not to say that everything that Chuck does is entirely right, but only that he is not entirely wrong and entirely to blame for Jimmy’s actions.
@@markhamstra1083 He IS incorrect in his elitism and conceitedness though. He's like the Ivy League grad with a Masters who won't even acknowledge someone with a PhD in their discipline that went to a State university, "you think you're MY peer?!" Chuck graduated Georgetown Law, the largest law school in the US and 14th best ranked, and second oldest law school founded in America...and Jimmy did a correspondence course. But F that, because they passed the SAME BAR, so be careful climbing down off that high horse, Charles.
@markhamstra1083 - maybe not, but he specifically prevented him from joining HHM as a lawyer after Jimmy passed the bar because of stuff Jimmy did in the past, not what he was trying to do in the then-present. He had an opportunity to let Jimmy prove him wrong, but his pride got in the way.
@@RobertMorgan I already said that Chuck is not always right. He is also not always truthful. Some of the hurtful things he says to Jimmy may be things that Chuck doesn’t wholly believe, but that he tries to use in order to avoid something that he sees as even worse. His elitist statements in this episode may at least in part be a failed effort to avoid saying what he is then goaded into blurting out about Slippin’ Jimmy with a law degree.
An opportunity that would put HHM in jeopardy if Slippin’ Jimmy re-emerged. That is a risk that Chuck would not take. He does not trust that Slippin’ Jimmy will stay repressed. Chuck seemed to be okay with Jimmy proving himself outside of HHM, but he would not put a time bomb within HHM.
I jumped ahead and binge re-watched the whole series, lol. I couldn't help myself, but I'm still going to watch every episode with you two. It's even better than I remembered, & I do think it's equal or maybe even better than Breaking Bad. Love watching you experience it!
Chuck was willing to give Jimmy a chance, and he has helped Jimmy multiple times. What he was not willing to do is put Jimmy into a position at HHM where the re-emergence of Slippin’ Jimmy would destroy a firm into which Chuck had so much invested and for which he had extensive obligations and responsibilities. Chuck does not trust Jimmy’s ability to continue to repress Slippin’ Jimmy, and Chuck is not wrong about the danger posed by Slippin’ Jimmy with a law degree. These first episodes are not the origin story of a villain. They are the story of the re-emergence of a repressed villain, a villain whom Chuck will not forget and will not empower.
Freaking shitty day. A lady hit my truck less than 2 hours ago. Everyone was ok....I needed this video y'all...awesome reaction tbr schmitt and Samantha.
Howard doesn't agree to take the case away from Jimmy. Howard only does what Chuck wants. That's how it was when Howard told Jimmy that he wouldn't be working as the new fresh lawyer at HHM, and that's how it is now too. Howard is not an asshole. Howard is to Chuck what Kim is to Jimmy. Two sides of the same coin. Howard does things in Chuck's interest because he's his friend and Kim does things in Jimmy's interest because she's his girlfriend. That's it. Furthermore, Howard runs a company and if employees make mistakes, they bear the consequences. That's why Kim ended up in the basement. She made a mistake in his eyes because the Cattleman's had gone. Of course, Howard had to assume that Kim had done something wrong if there was a perfect deal. No one expects the Cattleman's to be such idiots. That Howard punished Kim doesn't make him an asshole, but simply a boss of a million-dollar company. Nothing unfair has happened here from his point of view of a boss. The only thing Howard is guilty of is being a good friend to Chuck and going stiff. Maybe he doesn't radiate enough warmth, but that doesn't make him bad. On the contrary, he told Kim here what was going on, because he himself is dissatisfied with this decision and because he does not want to look unjustifiably bad. He also thought that was unfair to Jimmy this time. At the time, he wasn't thrilled that Chuck had brought a slipping Jimmy into the company, who was accused of a sex offense on the side. The enthusiasm can be limited. Who likes to have someone like that in their company? So the fact that both don't like each other is Jimmy's fault here as well. And Kim has such a good heart that she doesn't want to hurt Jimmy, with the detail that Chuck was responsible for it and even accepts Jimmy's anger at her.
Thanks for the reaction and excellent discussion afterwards...so glad to see you are really enjoying BCS! Btw, Dexter "Original Sin" (preqel series) starts this Friday 🤞
It's the two main developments in episode 9 -- Mike meeting Nacho and Chuck screwing over Jimmy -- that sets the stage for everything that follows during the rest of the series.
🙄🙄🙄 Chuck is the monster than created Saul Goodman. We can see in this episode Jimmy using his powers for good. All he ever wanted was Chuck’s love and approval. With that, Saul never would have been born. He’d still be serving seniors and loving every minute of it. How can you not see his heart if gold? It’s astonishing to me how many people judge Jimmy on what he became instead of who he IS.
Chuck was willing to go outside and put a phone to his ear to keep his brother from HHM, yet when Jimmy storms out at the end, Chuck can't even leave his door to try and reconcile with him!🤬🤬🤬
😂Now when you see The University Of American Samoa Law School hoodies and tees all over......now you know. Also....when you see a Yellow Hummer now you will lyao😂😂😂
Chuck definitely shows some manipulative/abusive tendencies toward Jimmy, but honestly Jimmy gives as good as he gets. Just a very toxic relationship overall throughout the show
The douchey protector who gets his gun taken is named Sobchak, after Walter Sobchak in the Big Lebowski. Walter, also talked a big game, but he saw his buddies die face down in the muck so that you and I could enjoy this conversation...
It's okay to loathe Chuck. Most fans railed about him at the time, and I think it's testament to Michael McKean's fantastic performance throughout. He's one of the most congenial, vanilla seeming performers, and plays the nice guy in just about everything except for BCS and The Coneheads Movie (worth a reaction), and fans loathed Chuck the character. This show is great at changing your perspective on characters, but just shows the nuances of being human. You guys have lots and lots of fantastic characters new and familiar to have completely new perspectives on as well, like Mike. Your enthusiasm so far shall be well rewarded the longer you go, because you guys appreciate the pacing, the storytelling, the foreshadowing, the cinematography, writing, etc, and can't wait to watch your reactions going through to the end.
I don't understand why everyone hates Howard. If I didn't see Breaking Bad and know how messed up Jimmy is, I would still see him as a worse person than Howard is. If I didn't predict that Chuck was the one keeping Jimmy out, I would still think Howard is better. They're at a major law firm, not a kindergarten class.
Howard is most definitely not an asshole, you will learn this as time goes on. I initially thought he was too, but once I saw this episode and learned it was Chuck all along I realized maybe he wasnt so bad...and, well, you'll see.
all my homies hate Chuck.🤬but on a more serious note, one of my favorite explanations of Jimmy vs. Chuck I've ever seen is: Jimmy does the wrong things for the right reasons, while Chuck does the right things for the wrong reasons.

He makes that quite explicit in a later dialogue that involves H.G. Wells. While he’s capable of genuine concern for his elder law clients, for example, no way does Jimmy/Saul do everything he does for the right reasons. Chuck, on the other hands, is often motivated by admirable purposes such as defending the integrity of the law and responsibly protecting HHM, but that doesn’t mean that he does the right thing by his brother.
@ I never said Jimmy does everything for the right reasons; but he has a good heart and tries to do the right thing, more often than not. at least in the beginning. meanwhile, Chuck’s motivations are mostly self-righteous, doing what he deems good by appearance only with no wiggle room for nuance.
@@the_nikster1 Chuck's is not motivated by appearance only. He is acting on knowledge and expectations built up from a lifetime of living with Jimmy. Nobody else has an equal share of that knowledge and those expectations, and at this point in the show Chuck's action do not appear right even to Howard. That is why Howard feels the need to tell Kim the truth. Chuck's motivations compel him to block Jimmy from being a lawyer at HHM _despite_ how that appears to others. Sure, he tries to hide that he is the one blocking Jimmy from HHM, but that is at least as much because he is trying not to destroy a relationship with his brother at the same time that he is trying to protect HHM from Slippin' Jimmy. Whatever are the reasons for Chuck to hide what he is doing from Jimmy and others, it simply is not the case that he is blocking Jimmy from HHM because doing so makes him look good. It doesn't.
idk why everyone is mad at 32:20 .. his brother was right have we forgot about breaking bad lol he was an evil lawyer .. doing business for those who peddle meth LOL which people forget because it is such an amazing show ... but non the less a show about selling meth to the masses .. so his brother was very much correct out for the money and used the law to his own benefit
I highly recommend THE SUBSTANCE, a satirical body horror thriller where an aging actress, Demi Moore, takes a black market drug that promises to make her young and beautiful again, but at a horrifying cost.
Both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are tragedies, in the classical sense. The cause of the downfall is inherent to the character. A character being hit by a bus is not in and of itself a tragedy, only if being hit by a bus is somehow tied to a flaw the character has, like recklessness not looking before crossing the street. In BB, it was PRIDE; Walter chose to make heroin because he refused to take charity or ask for help and he enjoyed the power. "I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And... I was really... I was alive." Jimmy is insecure, he always feels like he's not getting the respect he deserves, and doesn't think he needs to go the long way around. He's smart enough to know a better/faster way. And he kind of looks down on those who aren't smart enough to take his short cut. Even says as much to Kim at one point, when he's chiding her for staying at HHM. I don't know if its true, but I saw a commentary where they talked about the importance of nicknames on this show. Walter White (white usually representing innocence) becomes Heisenberg (mainly known as a Nazi nuclear scientist and for the Uncertainty principle) marking his movement into evil and moral relativism). Jimmy McGill has the nickname "Slippin" because he's always slipping into his bad habits. Chuck's betrayal may have led Jimmy to break from his positive growth, but it wasn't the cause. Jimmy was always slipping down the moral ladder. Jimmy was always Saul.
Chuck was horrible for doing that but he was right. Jimmy is still slipping Jimmy, But to scam him to get him to take the deal by making Howard the bad guy is low. Their relationship is a roller-coaster and as anyone can guess it gets worse on both sides.
It’s not so much low or cowardly as it is Chuck trying to deal with the tension between maintaining a relationship with his brother while also wanting to distance himself and his law firm from Slippin’ Jimmy. Brother Jimmy and Slippin’ Jimmy are not separable, so it’s an impossible, irresolvable tension - and Chuck frequently doesn’t deal with it well.
Here’s an unpopular opinion: Chuck was right. Yes, Chuck's motives were mostly out of resentment and jealousy of Jimmy's charismatic way with people. And what he did to his own brother is unforgivable. Nevertheless, we know who Slippin Jimmy was and who Saul became. Terrible things happen to lots of people, and yet they choose to not go down a dark path. Jimmy with a law degree was dangerous; that is a fact, and despite the horrible things his brother did to him, he chose to become Saul.

Here’s an unpopular opinion: Chuck was right. Yes, Chuck's motives were mostly out of resentment and jealousy of Jimmy's charismatic way with people. And what he did to his own brother is unforgivable. Nevertheless, we know who Slippin Jimmy was and who Saul became. Terrible things happen to lots of people, and yet they choose to not go down a dark path. Jimmy with a law degree was dangerous; that is a fact, and despite the horrible things his brother did to him, he chose to become Saul.
🙄🤦🏻♀️

I bet you also think Walter White and Tony Soprano are the good guys.
You guys are being way WAY too harsh on Howard. Just sayin'.
I hate episodes
