Nice write-up here which does a good job highlighting the difference between BCS and BrBa:
https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainme ... ut/530940/
...But the Season-3 finale also highlighted just how slowly, how painstakingly, Better Call Saul has pushed Jimmy along his inevitable arc. It also seemed to make the subtly radical suggestion that character change shouldn’t be thought of as an arc at all.
...
The culmination of the Sandpiper saga confirms that Better Call Saul has not been a chronicle of one man’s moral descent, despite initial assumptions that it might follow a similar roadmap as Breaking Bad. It’s been a chronicle of one man’s struggle to survive as a decent person, and about just how difficult it is to do so. And, more generally, it’s been about the human balancing act between expediency and honor—an act most people, day to day, successfully manage to pull off. Change here happens not only through the culmination of small, intentional evils as it did with Walter White. It happens through dramatic, unforeseen events in otherwise banal lives: car crashes, flameouts.

Oh my god, you guys make me feel better. Her ass in those pajamas took me right out if the story. I think I even involuntarily stuck out my tongue for a second.

She deserves it. I honestly think she's the best thing on TV right now.

Great finale, we need more kim in pajama pants. I think was the first episode where they allowed you yo figure out what year it is.
- Spoiler: show
- Really sad what happened with chuck. He needed something to replace his illness and he never thought he would be bought out, once that happened, he just broke down.

Spoiler is debatable. His illness and mental health have always been more closely tied to his relationship with and his feelings about Jimmy. I think their scene together which immediately preceded his breakdown was the real instigator. After he got fired, he was OK just chilling, being sad in his well-lit home. Hurting Jimmy made him lose it again.

I agree with asher.
The sequence where he broke down and destroyed the house was amazing. The music was perfect, like Jorge said. I was at the edge of my seat and when it ended I needed a cigarette.

Great episode, great season, great show, and terrible use of "spoiler" code on this page.

If Chuck is supposed to be so smart he would have known that cutting power to the freezer would cause all the ice to melt and pool on the floor. That is really bad for hardwoods. What an idiot.

He was clearly very concerned with the condition of the house at that moment.

Does anyone else ever think to themselves when watching BB or BCS "None of this really matters because it's all happening in New Mexico"
