So is Howard evil or not?
>>
>>68243684
From my point of view, Jimmy is evil.
>>
>>68243684
Anyone who pays off college tuition is a hero.
>>
>>68243684
Just following orders.

He was going to let Kim have the bank, but Chuck had to be a cunt.
>>
>>68243684
He is running a business.
>>
>>68243684
I get lawful neutral impression from him.
>>
he's so cute.
>>
Hamlindigo Blue kek
>>
He's a pretty good guy. Cuck is the asshole.
>>
>>68243684
No, Howard is a lawyer who doesn't take it overly seriously and think he is an annointed protector of the Law and Morals like Chuck does.
>>
>>68243684
I would go more toward good guy.
>>
>>68243737
So yes then?
>>
Why is the Mike stuff even in there when it usually has zero relation to Jimmy or any character related to him?

Just think that what's happening to Jimmy now could have been the season 1 finale if half the show wasn't dedicated to desperately trying to keep Breaking Bad fans interested.
>>
He's definitely not evil, but he can be kind of an ass.
>>
Pretty neutral.
>>
Beginning of season 1: Hamlin seems like a piece of shit.
End of season 1: Hamlin is actually a pretty cool dude.
Middle of season 2: Hamlin is a piece of shit again.
End of season 2: Hamlin's alright, I guess.
>>
Nah he's fine, ChUCK is the real evil
>>
>>68245166
>Why does a spin-off show of Breaking Bad have elements from Breaking Bad in it?
>>
He hasn't really done anything wrong. As a business owner, he has a right to try to stop Jimmy from doing things that harm his profits, but he doesn't go out of his way to damage him or hold grudges, like Chuck does.
>>
>>68245418
Nobody asked for this.

It's like they plopped it on our doorsteps with a note that read "Well, we tried to make it like Breaking Bad even though it doesn't need to be. Have fun!"

>he was going to let Kim have the bank
No he wasn't. He called them immediately after Kim left his office to start laying the groundwork for them to stay at HHM.
>>
>>68245166
After Banks absolutely savaged the Breaking Bad producers for pointing out how Mike died like a rookie bitch for literally no reason (one of BB's biggest plot holes) the writers autismally tried to correct the error in BCS by making him an obsessed grandpa. He wouldn't even be in the show if they didn't screw up his death in BB.

He's a direct antagonist to the main character but he isn't doing anything wrong. Like Hank before he fabricated Jesse's death, but Hamlin has a more likable personality

He's a good guy just doing what he thinks is right, which, just so happens to actually be the right thing to do most of the time.

Mike is true neutral
>>
>>68245418
Saul/Jimmy is from Breaking Bad and the show is meant to be about him.

It wouldn't be so much of a problem if it didn't exist in a vacuum from the rest of the show. How many lines have Mike and Jimmy spoken to each other this season?
>>
name one evil thing he has done
>>
I don't think the show portrays him as evil. Its just that he's the type who WOULD be evil in a typical TV show or movie. He's pretty nice to everyone frankly. As nice as you can be while running a business anyways.
>>
>>68248205

What has he done that's evil, anyway? He got mad at Kim for Jimmy's shit and he wouldn't have been mad at her if she told the truth.

Her stupidity in constantly covering for Jimmy is going to cost her. And he deserves it.

Nah, lawful goods don't backstab and scheme.

D&D alignments are too primitive to adequately represent a complex character moral code.
>>
Howard, Mike and Nacho are the only reasons I watch, desu.
>>
>>68247856

These alignments aren't static.

Jimmy moves from chaotic good (BSC) to chaotic neutral (BB). Kim is moving from neutral\lawful to chaotic.

One can argue that BB Mike is Lawful evil (same as Gus). BCS Mike is kinda like true neutral as someone already said.

Chuck is really hard to describe in these terms but probably lawful neutral.
>>
I like how he has usually an alpha attitude but turns to a beta bitch as soon as chuck is around.

Chuck called Mesa Verde after Howard told him Kim quit and took them with her.

Can you maybe point us to an interview where he says this?

the more scenes of Mike being in badass I see in BCS, the even more ridiculous I find his death in BB

Walter basically walked up to the motherfucking Batman and capped him at this point

>>
>>68250130
I'm not even a Mike fan, it just felt forced as fuck. I actually want less of him in BCS.

He's not immune to bullets, even the biggest badasses can get shot if they're not expecting it

would've preferred a chemistry trick like with Gus
how could he not expect someone like Walter to not try to fuck him over especially after getting mad?

ugh try to fuck him over, I'm tired
>>
Lawful neutral.
>>
>>68250202

He always underestimated Walt. That was his whole issue regarding him. He underestimated his ability to get Gale, his ability to get Fring.

The problem is you guys always act like he was infallible. It makes sense that he wouldn't think Walt would just flip out and shoot him. Hell, even Walt was surprised it happened.
>>
>>68250262
>He always underestimated Walt.
Fair enough.

But it seems like his power level is increasing in BCS and it's making his death less believable.

I don't see why he is evil, he seems like a nice guy.
>>
>>68250262
This

I just re-watched the episode, and Mike's character reacts just how you would expect. He immediately checks the bag of cash and the gun when he gets in his car, leading him to immediately react in a "fight or flight" manner right before Walt shoots him.
>>
>>68248063

Are you all retarded? Its quite easy to see that Mike's shenanigans are what get Jimmy to become Saul.

>>
>>68250619
I agree that this is what will happen, but I wish it could've been written in a way that they could interact more. They have good chemistry and Jimmy would get more screen time out of it.

>>68250657
Everything that happens will contribute to him becoming Saul.
>>
>>68243684
He's just a sort of commercial robot. You can still see when he's hurt or in doubt but whatever happens, he'll get back into his commercial robot style.
I don't think this is a guy that's any different when he's at home in front of the tv...if he even does that.
>>
>>68250714
Sure it'll contribute, but you phrased your statement as if Mike was the sole reason it happens.
>>
>>68250729
Have they really shown any of his personal life at all yet? I'm actually curious to see how he is like outside of a professional environment and among non-lawyers.
>>
>>68245166
Mike becomes Sauls private investigator. They are going to become more involved.

>>
>>68250790
Not that i remember. I was looking forward to it, i'm surprised it hasn't happened yet...cause i'm thinking the 3rd season will probably focus more on Jimmy and Kim's business and personal relations.
>>
>>68250770

Jimmy was always Saul. He's always been a scam artist.

You guys act like Kim is right regarding Chuck. She isn't. Everyone who sticks their neck out for Jimmy gets it stepped on by his bullshit. So will she.
>>
>>68250657
Chuck didn't create Slippin' Jimmy, or make him steal from his father, or make him become shameless Saul Goodman and go over to the dark side with Walt. Chuck screwed him over but it just cemented Saul's hatred of authority. Evidence is in the flash forwards, he's reduced to being a normal, by the books person and, without being a colorful scumbag lawyer, there's nothing left of him.
Jimmy and Walter are the same animal, in a way: an outside force (Chuck/cancer) reawakens a long-held inferiority streak within an otherwise harmless person, to descend into a life as their alter-ego, Saul/Heisenberg, who is closer to what the actual person is than they'd like to admit. Given the right circumstances, Jimmy/Walter uses their worst impulses and traits to ruthlessly pursue a life of crime.
>>
>>68250808

Mike becomes a PI, not Jimmy's. Saul says that, but it's clear the PI stint is just a cover. Mike would not problem taking Saul out if it benefited him. Mike works for Gus.

Well she's half right. Just look at the way Chuck reacted, he knows she is right but he wouldn't admit it.
I think Kim knows who she's going with, she just doesn't wanna let go of Mesa Verde and she wants to be on her own. She just doesn't know how it's gonna go...and who knows, it might end up well for her...at least for a little bit?
>>
>>68243684
No, he just got his arm twisted by the other partners. I'd say he is even slightly good.
>>
>>68250856

I disagree Chuck screwed him over, though. He was protecting the firm and with good reason as was found out his first week at Davis and Main.

Chuck didn't respect him, sure, but he never stopped him from being a lawyer and was supportive of his venture into elder law. He just didn't want him at HHM.
>>
He moves like a robot
>>
>>68243684
Not at all based on what we've seen. He's just very loyal and careful.
>>
>>68247856
Nah Chuck is kinda petty. He's more Lawful Neutral he just thinks he's Lawful Good.
>>
>>68249430
>Hank the only objectively good guy in BB

Hank is basically a lawful good paladin.

Hamlin - not so much. More like neutral.
>>
>>68243684
Nah, he's nowhere near "evil" from what I've seen. Sure, a bit of a paint by numbers type of guy but still a decent person.
>>
>>68250929

Your chaotic neutral alignment shows.
>>
>>68251160
Hank didn't give a fuck about the constitution though. He removed the tape off of the RV and illegally tracked Gus' car.

I honestly can't even think of a lawful good character on that whole show.
>>
>>68243684
Howard strikes me as a perfectly good person, who happens to be fiercely loyal to HHM and thus Chuck.
>>
People think Howard is evil because he's a white male.

You're all a bunch of fucking racists.

Anyone else feel like the ending of last episode was super cheap and lazy?

Like, ffs do they really expect us to think that Chuck's condition is real and that he can go so far as to faint because of what, neon exposure? This is retarded, I don't understand why they didn't stick with him being a delusional fuck inventing a condition for himself.
What they did is so unoriginal and all for
>muh cliffhanger

Man, I like this show, I really do but I feel they jumped they jumped the shark with that shit. Fuck I'm disappointed
>>
>>68251567

Even if his condition isn't real if he imagines it to be it could have real side effects. It looked like he was having a panic attack (meme condition + getting btfo by copier guy)
>>
>>68251567
Just because the condition is psychosomatic doesn't mean it won't have any side effects. Believe hard enough in it and your body just shrugs and goes along with it. Same way placebos work.
Chuck's condition is "real" as in he went through some traumatic experience that completely fucked him up on a subconscious level.
>>
>>68248438
Nigga what? She didn't know Jimmy aired his ad without permission
>>
>>68251567

>Chuck's condition is real

It's real in his mind. It has already been shown in S1 hospital scene that it only affects him when he knows something "electrical" is around.

Basically he had a severe panic attack.
>>
>>68251567
He's mentally ill and basically had a brutal panic attack over the anxiety of the electricity and Lance denying Jimmy's appearance there.
>>
>>68251599
>>68251649
Yeah I guess.
It still doesn't feel very subtle to have a cliffhanger like this.
>Let's make him break his neck on the corner of the desk
This kind of shit suggests that the writers didn't know wrote themselves in a corner. It's a cheap solution, not subtle at all. Sure, you can rationalise it like you do and I agree with what you say to a certain extent but come on, did they really need to do that?
>>
>>68251567
>This is retarded, I don't understand why they didn't stick with him being a delusional fuck inventing a condition for himself.

hes already fainted from exposure
he's already reached peak stress from too much exposure
hes already had his condition worsened by work stress
hes already threatened his well being from his hatred for jimmy's success

what more do you want
>>
>>68251741
the collision with the counter felt a bit gratuitous, a stress-induced heart attack would've sufficed if he actually dies over it
>>
>>68251757
Sure, but they did that only because they wanted to build up to him breaking his neck. Maybe they shouldn't have gone on that road at all. It feels cliché to me. Like they needed to make him disappear from Jimmy's life as well as making it a traumatising event for him so they just killed him. I think the show deserved better.
I still like it, but this was meh
>>
>>68251741

The episode title is "Nailed". Chuck wanted to nail Jimmy so much he went out of his comfort zone into the electromagnetic hell that is the outer world, and his fragile mind just snapped as a result - so in the end he nailed himself.
>>
>>68251853
all of those were examples from season 1
if its just been a buildup to a bad ending, theyre certainly committed
>>
>>68251885
so the entire premise of Better Cuck Chuck was actually about Chuck cucking himself?

That is true, but you'd think that Chuck would cut him a bit of slack for being his brother/spending so much time/resources caring for him. That'said what really gets me, how little appreciation he shows for everythingetting Jimmy has done for him - Chuck repeatedly sabotages his career when Jimmy is trying to 'go straight', so can you really blame him for trying to get the upper hand on Chuck the only way he knows how?

This is ALL connected. S1 Tuco's grandma/Saul. Mike/pills guy/Nacho. S2 Nacho/Mike/Tuco, Tuco/Mike, Mike/Hector/Cousins. Hector/Tuco/Mike/Saul.

Mike will end up working for Saul and Gus, so eventually Gus will turn up in BCS. Be ready.
>>
>>68252314
I always felt Jimmy was only doing the things he did to impress/live up to Chuck's expectations. And even when he achieves those perceived expectations Chuck kind of fucks him over.

The turning point was when Chuck/Hamlin punished Kim for Jimmy's advertisement. Jimmy resorted to his old tactics.

He didn't like Walter and thought he was greedy and a pussy. As far as he was concerned though he was out of the game and Walt had no reason to kill him and didn't think he would dare to do it.

I think it's a given that Gus will turn up in BCS. You'll probably see what Gus and Hector quarrel over.

I completely agree - Kim even says that Saul looks up to Chuck in the latest episode when she's going off at him.
>>
>>68252515

He shot Gus' BF in the head family
>>
>>68252553
Actually I'm reading the wiki and I forget it was Hector who actually shot the guy

The only thing we don't know about Hector is how he gets in the wheelchair and how he climbs up so far in the cartel
>>
>>68250069
He didn't think Walter was capable of it; maybe thought it would be beneath him.
>>
>>68247856
Chuck is lawful neutral r-tard, he thinks law and morality are the same and all that matters is the LAW

And Mike is oh-so-CG until in Breaking Bad he's slaughtering Chinese for distributing legal chemicals like he's some sort of stormtrooper. In Better Call Saul the poor innocent criminals and civilians must not be killed for any reason.
>>
>>68252595
I suspect it was from a stroke during the time of BrBa and I really really hope they don't make it an injury by Mike.
>>
>>68252638

Not sure if it was a stroke yet tbqh, he has been moving oddly in BCS though that could be because the old jew is like 150.
>>
>>68252638
His condition was pretty specific, in that he couldn't speak. I think stroke or disease are the most likely options, I read something about it being alluded to in BrBad flashbacks that he showed signs of muscle deterioration.
>>
>>68250404
His power level is increasing? This guy becomes more badass with time. Remember this is six years earlier. Nothing on BB led us to believe he was slipping in his old age.
>>
>>68251741

It had to be something Jimmy could see happen from across the street. He caused this to happen and he witnessed it firsthand, once again showing that everything he does fucks someone over. Having Chuck just collapse isn't the same as we've seen him faint a few times already and know it isn't that much of an issue.

That's a pretty typical Mafia or Cartel threat.
>>
>>68252978
Notice how it only gets bad when he's stressed or losing control of a situation?

I think it's partially fake and partially placebo. In the flashback he had electronics on no problem, but forced people to vigorously wipe their shoes at the door. He doesn't do this in the current timeline, and it's a hint that he has control issues.

Leaving the Driver alive got the good Samaritan killed, if he had just killed Tuco none of this would of happened, so this going to push him towards just killing the bad guys and dropping his moral code.

I thought Hank already killed Tuco???

I want to know more about Howard, I hope he's a bigger part of season 3.

Also is he one of the Hamlins in HHM or is it his father or both?

You still cite to motivation for faking it. There's nothing to gain and plenty to lose. He may have lost his wife over it. He may go into a coma if he faked it in the copy shop. Get it out of your head because it makes NO sense!

>>68253072
Moral code? He killed two cops in Philly. He tells Walter how they should have taken a "full measure" on that wife-beater. Also sounds like he was in 'Nam by the way he's talking at the gun guy's motel room. He's killed plenty, and he's going to kill more. He just won't kill purely for money.
>>
>>68253234

it's explained
>>
>>68253239
I'm thinking he'll end up parplegic considering the way he banged his head and neck.
>>
>>68253117
Incorrect usage of question marks.

>>68253234
Just pay attention. It was in episode 8 that Hamlin himself answers your question.
>>
>>68253239
*no motivation for faking it.
>>
>>68253239
It makes perfect sense if you pay attention and spend 5 seconds thinking about things.

It happens to him when he's in stressful situations, or situations where he doesn't have control. Did you not notice how in the most recent episode, his "issue" increased in intensity the more stressed out he got? Being sensitive to electronics is one thing, but it doesn't make sense for it to get worse if the electronics aren't any different.

Time and time again they are slapping you in the face with evidence, but if you just want to assume it makes no sense then enjoy your plebeian watching experience, and don't get too buttfrustrated when they reveal he was faking it.
>>
>>68253239
>He killed two cops in Philly.
They killed his boy.
>He tells Walter how they should have taken a "full measure" on that wife-beater.
So he didn't kill him. He'll be more open to kill later, just not yet.
>Also sounds like he was in 'Nam by the way he's talking at the gun guy's motel room.
War doesn't count, he wasn't spoiled for choices in terms of killing if he was in vietnam at all.
>He's killed plenty, and he's going to kill more. He just won't kill purely for money.
You just cited the two cops that caused his son's death so far. I don't know what you were trying to accomplish here.
>>
>>68253274
>Incorrect usage of question marks.
Back the fuck off???!
>>
>>68253319
He just doesn't pay attention or use any kind of critical thinking, it's pretty obvious in his lack of understanding of two pretty major characters.
>>
>>68253064
I think it's real, at least to him. But it's definitely related to stress and he definitely hams it up for his own gain, the hypocrite.
>>
>>68253314
Jesus, I can't believe I'm wasting the time on you. What reason does he have for faking, acting, putting on a show that he's dizzy, in pain, and panicking? There is nothing to gain. Why would he fake it when alone? Of course stressful situations make it worse. It's all he can goddamn do to fake that he's unaffected. That's the faking. He's faking in these meetings, and now he can't even fake it anymore.

And of course this psychosomatic mental illness (which he clearly has, as the doctor says so in Season 1) is going to get progressively worse with time. We have watched it get worse.

No one agrees with you. They will not reveal he was faking it. He wouldn't fake it when home alone, and he has no reason to fake anything. YOU spend five seconds thinking about my rational points.
>>

>>
>>68247210

>>
>>68253427
You didn't make any rational points, you just said it makes no sense and then asked a bunch of questions.

I said I think it's part fake, part placebo. Your brain is powerful as fuck and can make things happen to your body if you believe them. The reason it happens when he's alone could be for a number of reasons. Like I said: stress, lack of control, or placebo.
>>
>>68253239
Two dirty cops who murdered his son.

He says he should of killed the guy in a conversation held after this series finishes.

There was a hint he was in Vietnam, but not enough to base anything on and war time is different anyway, not to mention it would of been 30+ years ago.
>>
>>68253319
That it's not above him morally to kill. People are treating Mike like someone who doesn't believe in killing. He's killed two guys we know of, and openly regrets not killing another. We know he lets Lydia live when he shouldn't, and we know he kills those trying to kill him.
>>
>>68253497
After series finishes, but during when he was a cop, which is before this series begins.
>>
>>68253495
So stress, lack of control, and placebo are why he fakes his little episodes which are part fake and part placebo.
Yep, you've got it figured out. He's sometimes faking, for no apparent reason because he can't help it, because of placebo.

I get it now.
>>
So Mike puts Hector in the wheelchair for killing the good smaritan?
>>
>>68253603
Not the anon you replied to but what mostly irritates me is the fact they had to kil him/make him a vegetable at all.
That's what I consider cheap in the narrative. I'm willing to accept the condition but come on, couldn't they figure something else than a dumb, random panic attack?
>>
>>68253880
He needs to be hospitalized for Jimmy to cash him out.

Him being hospitalized almost entirely due to stress caused by his brother is just pottery on the cake, and a good catalyst for some Saul guilt.
>>
>>68243684
How so ?
He litteraly did nothing wrong

>>68253880

You are assuming that's the story will go.

I think the next ep will be about Jimmy calling for help or not and him dealing with the guilt of that. It's clear Ernesto and the copy guy aren't doing shit.

It'll be like Walt and Jane. The moment we see him make the real moral downturn.
>>
>>68254116
He has no obligation to call for help for a brother that stabbed him in the back and wasted years of his life.

His neck snapped. He'll be paraplegic at best. I don't see what Jimmy can do about it now and Ernesto is gonna call 911 eventually
>>
>>68254381

>what is character drama

The point isn't what it would do, the point is if he'll do it.

Are you people new to fiction or what?
>>
>>68254499
You don't have to state who you are when you call 911 anyway. Chances are there's a payphone in the area since the action takes in the early 00s.There's no need for Jimmy to compromise himself
>>
>>68253273
>I'm thinking he'll end up paraplegic

Speaking of which, when is Mike going to put Hector in a wheelchair
>>
>>68251976
da..mn..........................
>>
>>68254697

Jesus. You really don't it. The story is about Jimmy becoming Saul. Whether or not he makes an effort to save his brother is a step in that direction.

If he calls, or tries to, you can say he still has a heart. If he doesn't, you see he's going further into the dark side. Contrast him not trying to save Chuck vs him doing his damnest to save the twins in the first arc of the show.

The outcome is irrelevant to what it means for Jimmy as a character. Action/Inaction. Same as Walt with Jane.
>>
>>68253563
But he didn't kill him when he was a cop, he said he should of done years later, after this series finshes when his character has changed

Schweichert comes off as a Lawful Evil to me, although we know relatively little of his character at this point in the show.

I'd say Hector would be Chaotic Evil, shooting Good Samaritans and so forth.

I agree with those saying Mike is a True Neutral - but moreso with his character in BCS; he seems more Chaotic Neutral in BB imo.
