Better Call Saul REACTION 3x3 "Sunk Costs" Breakdown + Review | Our First Time Watching

[@JWalters388]

You can see that Chuck has no problem going outside when he condescending Jimmy during his arrest.

*Kim is the most loyal character in all of television*

[@sallyatticum]

I felt like they set up Jimmy and Kim's relationship in S1E1 when Jimmy kicked the heck out of the trash can and Kim cleaned it up and put it back in place.

[@DiegoDeschain]

Good one.

[@Blukeylukey]

I've always loved this symbolism. She really does always have to clean up after him

[@Tone_Loc303]

What a great observation. That was indeed Gus's doctor from Breaking Bad that saved him and Mike after the showdown at Don Eladio's Hacienda. Enjoying your reactions thoroughly.

thanks for watching 😊

[@Socragames]

It's so true that there's good and bad in both of them. The discussions about who is good and who is bad is such a good one because there isn't an easy answer. I find it most interesting that people give jimmy so much more leeway, the way people did with walt.

[@FrankyRZK]

I've been saying forever that the biggest scam Saul ever pulled was scamming the audience of the show into thinking he is a good person. He has good intentions, but his actions are the opposite of good.

[@kon9729]

Anyone I ever have spoken about breaking bad with gives Hank and Jesse leeway and trashes Walt.

[@RosaLichtenstein01]

Jimmy wasn't charged with fraud because the only evidence against him is that tape (Jimmy merely destroyed a copy that Chuck had made). As you'll recall, Howard pointed out (in the previous episode) that tape was inadmissable, since two parties are required for a recording to be entered as evidence in court (in that state).

[@Turalcar]

Howard specifically pointed out that New Mexico is a one party state but one piece of evidence would not be sufficient for conviction.

[@RosaLichtenstein01]

@@Turalcar Not so. In Episode One of Season Three, at approx 16:30 into that episode, Howard says this to Chuck: "This tape. I'm not sure exactly what it accomplishes. Look, you know evidentiary rules better than I do, but a secretly recorded tape with a problematic chain of evidence. You're going to have a hell of a time getting that admitted." So, other than getting the Episode number wrong, I stand by what I said.

[@TampaCEO]

The "fallacy of sunk cost" is a very real issue. You can learn a lot from Kenny Roger's "Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em" philosophy.

[@stadthaus.7266]

"the temp at night" was 100% on point! xD

[@Js6390c]

I think the main reason they didnt charge Jimmy with fraud was about minimizing risk for the firm. Whether or not the recording was admissible given the states ' one party or two party consent or if they had enough evidence to convict wasn't the risk. The risk exists from the fact as officers of the court (which all lawyers are) they are subjected to a different standard more along the lines of law enforcement than private citizens. What I mean mainly is entrapment. As a private citizen if you lay a trap enticing someone into committing a crime there arent constitutional concerns. When an agent of the government is involved the standard is much different as officers of the court even in personal matter there can't be any manipulation involved in contributing to the criminal action. Entrapment occurs when an agent of the government induces a person into committing a crime they otherwise wouldn't have. Inducement occurs if you play on someone's, sympathy/emotions, needs or relationship. Without Chuck's mental health being the concern of Jimmy it is unlikely the admission of the crime would have taken place. Clearly Jimmy & Chuck's relationship would have fallen into the textbook definition of entrapment or at least would have raised enough ethical concern to make conviction impossible. As a result of the entrapment everything would have been deemed fruit of the poisonous tree thus the entire case and all other crimes stemming from it thrown out.

[@ElectricFury]

I love Kim and Jimmy so much. They play them like a real couple. They respect each other. Jimmy comes into Kim's office and explains his screw-up and why he wants to represent himself so he isn't dragging her down and she listens and simply says "ok". There's no over dramaticised arguement, or relationship drama. It's probably my favourite aspect of BCS.

[@jacobj297]

Chuck knows how to work people for sure. But “just as much of a con man?” Come on that’s a stretch.

[@calypso4882]

Chuck would be a very bad con man, and I don't think he's particularly good at working people either. He constantly misjudges how others will react to his actions, especially those closest to him. He assumes Jimmy will break in at night, never once thinking that Jimmy would be hurt enough to come at him straight and angry. He tells Kim all about Jimmy's con, thinking she will hold honesty above her love for Jimmy. and without spoiling future stuff, he really misjudges how Howard will react to a certain thing later in the season. He can never see it from the other person's point of view, something Jimmy is very adept at.

[@carlirae93]

I personally am a big fan of the deep cut office references 😂and am very impressed at how many of them you are able to tie into this show. I never would have thought of “the temp at night” but it fits so well hahaha

[@angrymuon]

As much as jimmy messed with mesa verde to help kim, it was also selfish. He wants that office with kim very badly, and would do anything to keep his dream. The scene that motivates jimmy to switch the numbers is where kim is on the curb saying she cant commit to the office due to losing mesa verde. I love how all the choices in this show are layered and complex!

[@pencil6965]

yea and Kim never wouldve wanted him to do all that

[@rkdeshdeepak4131]

BCS makes the entire BrBa Universe a Love story with some crazy side character like Walter

[@ForcesInMotion]

"She most certainly is going the distance for him." You can say that again, brother. And then some. Amen.

[@dsscam]

11:28 It's not very well known, but when they were younger Jimmy and Chuck lived together in Milwaukee and were known as Lenny and Squiggy.

[@proflcr8779]

Love your Office references! 💙💙💙

[@goodguykonrad3701]

I feel it's worth pointing out Chuck isn't doing all this just because he's bitter. He is bitter, but that's not all he is. The scene towards the end of season 1 where Chuck tells Jimmy he's not a real lawyer is a good insight into Chuck's character. He loves and resents his brother, and he's terrified about what Jimmy might end up doing with a law degree. From the very first episode we see him breaking the law as a lawyer, and we've seen where he ends up in Breaking Bad. Jimmy is very likeable and a protagonist, but don't think of him as the good guy; similarly, don't think of Chuck as the bad guy.

[@TheRepublican777]

Yes that looks like the same doctor that was in Mexico to help Gus with his self poisoning and Mike being shot

#JusticeForErnie

[@stevesmith4600]

Jimmy didn't directly go at Chunk until the address swapping incident (at least from what the show has shown us, so far),. By that time, Jimmy had realized that Chuck never had his back and had been sabotaging him. Chuck, on the other hand, had distain for Jimmy for a long time. Either because people didn't see the Jimmy that he saw, or they did but didn't care. Had Chuck actually supported his little brother, or minimally, had Chuck not actively worked to prevent progress in Jimmy's life, Jimmy would have never gone after Chuck. This makes Chuck worse than Jimmy. Jimmy's actions are a response to Chuck's actions. Chuck's actions are a response to how others view Jimmy's character. Sure, "an eye for an eye" justification is weak if at all even a justification; however, it's a step above pure pettiness.

[@pencil6965]

this is so ridiculous lmao. "Had Chuck actually supported his little brother, or minimally, had Chuck not actively worked to prevent progress in Jimmy's life, Jimmy would have never gone after Chuck." Chuck bailed him out of jail, cleared his record, gave him a new job and a chance at a whole new life. that's tremendous support. while jimmy was a PD, he didn't sabotage him. While jimmy was at D&M, he didn't sabotage him. his only issue was jimmy working at HHM or working against their interests. "This makes Chuck worse than Jimmy. Jimmy's actions are a response to Chuck's actions. " no way lol chuck's disdain is 100% a result of Jimmy's scams he's witnessed his whole life, and the trustworthiness he performs that he will flip off like a switch when it conveniences him

[@yip74]

I love your guys reactions and that you loving the series . Oh boy have guys got a hell of a ride

[@MattMajcan]

jimmy is the underdog while chuck is a bully, i think thats why people root for him

[@reynaldolorenzo8409]

@@MattMajcan Chuck is not a bully, lol. It seems you don't know what the definition of the world is. Jealous and never believing in him? Sure, but Saul made so many mistakes for decades as Slipping' Jimmy that Chuck lost faith in him. Because Saul Chuck almost died, and if you have watched the whole show, you know how many lives he destroyed (spoilers), including being the reason his own brother took his life. (Not more spoilers)... People root for him because he is the main character, and many people are blinded by the main character, no matter what terrible things they do. The same thing happened with Walter. Another perfect example of a TV show right now is The Penguin. You know who he is and all the bad things he has done, but still, people root for him, and you hear it in every reaction, "Why am I rooting for him?".

[@yetsket5631]

​@@reynaldolorenzo8409 how is chuck not a bully, he went behind his brothers back to mess up his career, forced howard to talk the fall for years, not to mention how he treats Ernie

[@reynaldolorenzo8409]

@@yetsket5631 A bully is someone who seeks to harm or intimidate someone they perceive as weak or vulnerable. Does that sounds like Chuck? No. Chuck telling Howard to not give Jimmu a job is because all the crime Jimmy did for decades, then after Jimmy got that charge of shitting on someone sunroof, or something like that, after he went "straight" and got his lawyer license, Chuck was jealous as he didn't think it was fair for Jimmy to be a lawyer, he was jealous of him and never believed in him, if he would've supported him, maybe Jimmy wouldn't have been a criminal lawyer, and Ernie is because he told Jimmy and didn't trust him, again, not a bully.

[@mathmexican4234]

It'd be one thing for Chuck to openly distance himself from Jimmy early on because of his feelings, but he secretly made Howard keep him from being hired for a long time to keep him down. He always looked down on him and disliked that other people were fond of Jimmy, while Jimmy was always just being Jimmy and true to himself and doing his best. Things only became a problem after Jimmy found out that Chuck was secretly pushing him away from the law. So I would blame Chuck more for this situation.

[@pencil6965]

chuck's lie was wrong, but he wanted to protect their relationship as brothers while stepping back from a working relationship (this obviously backfired). it sucks, but these dynamics happen in professional environments all the time - a colleague may not trust your abilities but they won't tell it to your face, and instead go around through the manager. it sucks, but the best course of action would be nip it in the bud and just move on out of that environment "like a normal person." not concoct elaborate plans that involve bribery and forgery and extreme manipulation lol. so i definitely blame jimmy more for this situation

[@mathmexican4234]
