The only difference is that Werner’s accepted his fate while Walter ordered the murder of gale to save his and Jesse’s life . Also what’s strange is that Werner Ziegler shares his first name with Werner Heisenberg, the German physicist who was the source of Walter White's alias in Breaking Bad for his infamous name Heisenberg . Also one more thing what's strange is that mike kills a man named werner and is killed by a man named Heisenberg

[@bleepy013]

Interestingly, Jimmy breaking down in his car almost had nothing to do with Chuck dying. Bob Odenkirk stated that he saw that scene as Jimmy McGill suffocating under the final realization that all of his assumptions that he could redeem himself in other people's eyes despite his checkered past led to nothing. In the end, he succumbs to what people see him as: the guy guilty people hire. Odenkirk says that his breakdown was the death throes of Jimmy McGill. Jimmy dies in that scene and something is born in his place: Saul Goodman.

Idk there are alot of people deemed "guilty" that are actually innocent. When it comes to law it's not "good vs bad" becusse people do terrible things under the guise of legality and alot of people do good things that the law doesn't want people do like Mlk Jr So this assumption that all people who are charged by the corrupt state are guilty is one sided.

Werner's death really upset me for such a minor character. He was a genuinely decent innocent man who just missed his wife and probably didn't grasp the severity of what he was involved in until it was much too late. I think it impacted Mike too as his own son was also killed for knowing too much and the risk of what he might expose. He became what he hated in having to murder an innocent man.

Oh and it's so fabulously complicated as well because you can see the contentious elements of their relationship at play even in the midst of their love.

There was actually supposed to be a scene where Nacho contacts Mike or something to try to warn him about Lalo, but Mike is too worried about Werner and didn't want anything to do with it at that moment. It makes more sense that Mike would realize that it was Lalo tailing him later on. I think the scene was cut because the episode was too long.

[@orderofthejedi1826]

Honestly I think Jimmy is being sincere in a lot of these moments. Just not to himself. They say the best lies are those that have some truth in them. I think Jimmy has been actually feeling all of these things he brings up in his lies but stuffs them down inside himself. It's not who he wants to be, it's not what he wants to deal with so he bottles it all up. In these moments he channels what he has actually been feeling and lets it out to sell whatever point he wants. When it's done he says it was all an act when in truth it's not. He doesn't want to admit he feels the things he does so he tells himself he's lying to everyone. Sure he's great at making shit up but the best lies have some truth in them.

[@dolphinwj]

If you're not aware by now, Michael McKean, Chuck's actor, has been in comedy for literal decades, just like Bob Odenkirk who was a writer for SNL starting in 1987. Arguably McKean's most notable role was playing David St. Hubbins, the lead singer of the fictional band Spinal Tap. All this to say that Chuck can sing damn well.

[@eltedioso]

Michael McKean (Chuck actor) is a phenomenal musician. He actually has a Grammy for a song he wrote for the movie A Mighty Wind. And he's one-third of the legendary Spinal Tap (which is a movie you MUST watch). Not to mention his other music for Lenny & The Squigtones, The Folksmen, and so on. He's a legend.

[@robertolecki7492]

The amazing thing about this show (and BB) is that it has layers and layers of how to understand characters' personalities. On the surface it makes you think Chuck is the bad guy. But when you think about it, Chuck's conduct had always been good when it comes to respecting the law, and Jimmy had always been a crook. When you think about it, all the negative aspects of Chuck's personality were created by Jimmy's actions actually. For example, Chuck's hypersensitivity to electricity appears to be the response to Jimmy's undeserved popularity, like Chuck's subconsciousness created it to gain attention. And everything else wrong about Chuck seems to be a result of Jimmy's wrongdoing, which goes back to their mother loving Jimmy more, despite Jimmy stealing money from the father. That's why Chuck always felt he was the loser undeservingly. When he grabs that microphone and sigs 'The winner takes it all'... Oh man... Such a great scene!

People compare Jimmy breaking down in his car to the final scene in Crawl Space because it is believed that those two scenes depict the death of the main character's "nice guy persona" and the rise of their alter egos.

Of course Chuck’s got a great voice, he was in the band spinal tap, which you have to watch their documentary, and then start down the Christopher Guest, documentaries which he is in, Michael McKean is awesome

[@krisbrown6692]

Christopher Guest is a comedic God.

Chuck as you know was on the show, Laverne and Shirley and later did the great movie Spinal Tap, where he sang all of his parts.

That shot with Werner walking away is one of the most beautiful in all of television. Masterpiece stuff Ya ain't seen nothing yet!

[@Frozen_Smoke1972]

As usual, they really pulled out the stops for the season finale.The whole scene with Mike and Werner in the desert is so well done but it really hit me hard to see Mike take that massive step into the darkness. Jimmy's scene is just a masterclass in pulling the rug from under the feet of the audience too. Bring on Season 5!

I love the college-student media trio. They add so much ... "up to no good, but fun!" to the show.

Brandon is such a pure soul, Jimmy stays getting him 😂😂😂 never change Brandon !

Michael McKean , the actor who plays Chuck , is actually a musician as well.

brandon at 19:08 must’ve been thinking “HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH ITTTTT”

[@bagelj]

The actor playing Lalo was great as Neagans right hand man in “The Walking Dead”

[@KCohere33]

That’s not the same actor.

[@Phoenixdark1]

Jimmy was definitely not crying over the loss of Chuck. Lol He was crying because he saw himself in the girl the board rejected, and he saw how they would never accept someone like him. Edit: Okay, you realized it a bit later in the episode.

Every time someone is suprised by Chuck (Michael Mckean) having a good voice...I cant help recommending they watch the rockumentry Spinal Tap (1984)
