I HATE CHUCK! | Better Call Saul 1x9 Reaction and Review | First time watching! 

Fun fact, in-universe, we learn that Pryce's actual name is Daniel Wormald, and it was further confirmed by the showrunners that he is "Danny" from breaking bad, who runs the lazer tag business that Saul mentioning and keeps trying to sell to Walter for money laundering

The scene with Pryce and Nacho always makes me laugh no matter how many times I see it haha

Pryce aka piesenberg

“Chuck is s bigger A-hole than Howard”. Well ya, Chuck is the reason why Howard seems like an A-hole though.

Little detail, but I love that your new intro music is Mike's stakeout theme. Always loved that little understated groove.

Such a great show! Find it difficult to talk about it without revealing future surprises and plotlines but I'm amazed how looking back at episodes where I wasn't necessarily as invested they are so good and give so much more information in subtext. Excited for the finale.

I thought HHM’s offer was pretty good. If he does it himself, Jimmy would still never get anything until it was settled no matter what. Now he gets $20k up front (and doesn’t have to lift a finger) plus 20% of a potential $20 million settlement so even if it takes 5 years, he could get $4 million for doing nothing! It’s way bigger than a 1-man job so no matter what he can’t do it alone.

The big guy (with Mike at the parking garage) was also in El Camino.

"Howard is such a prick, i hope he'll get what he deserves at some point" Lol

"I knew there was something funny about chuck." You mean the guy who's "allergic" to electricity?

There will be a lot of memories of Jimmy & Chuck. At some point, u will hate to see more because of heartbreak

What if somebody in the cartel such as Tuco or Hector found out about Ignacio's secret side business and crashed the deal to which Mike didn't bring a gun?

What the fxxx, Chuck? He's the worst. I do like the Nacho character & can't wait to see how this go's now that Mike has met Nacho, and they both have met Jimmy. ofcourse they don't know that yet... There really is a lot going on!

Andrea, I still haven't seen Better Call Saul (hence my absence) but I'm loving these titles! I will try and catch up on the show so I can see what you're talking about! 😄

17:10

this's my favorite episode off season 1. which one is yours so far?

He's not really jealous of Jimmy(in a sense, not with being a lawyer) he really doesn't think he can change and he knows how his brother has been a con artist his whole life. Which is why he thinks him scamming as a lawyer is way worse. "Slipping Jimmy I can take, but slippin jimmy with a law degree is like a chimp with a machine gun." Yea Chuck is a shitty brother, but so is Jimmy(not in the taking care of chuck sense, just with everything else) Don't forget, Jimmy has already recently lied to chuck, first with the scam with the skateboarders, then with the billboard scam. He's still slipping Jimmy.

My guess was that Howard told Kim the truth behind those closed doors. That it was Chuck's decision. And to me that would explain why Kim urged Jimmy to take the deal, without explaining why. She surely didn't want to tell Jimmy it was actually his own brother screwing him over. But I could be wrong. Enjoy your reactions!

Chuck's argument that he worked so hard to become a lawyer while Jimmy just slipped into it easily isn't very compelling. Yes, the curriculum at Georgetown would have been more demanding than the U of American Samoa, but passing the bar is still passing the bar no matter where you graduated. Seems to me, passing the bar would have been a lot easier for Chuck than Jimmy. Chuck supposedly graduated near the top of his class, meaning he would have been on full scholarship. Tuition, books, room and board all paid for. I doubt he worked even a part-time job in college, but Jimmy graduated college and law school while working full-time. No easy task. Jimmy never told anyone so he did all his studying in his spare time at night with no help, while Chuck would have likely been involved with several different study groups, his law professors and fellow law students who would have provided invaluable support when writing papers and preparing for exams. I think in many ways, Jimmy's route to becoming a lawyer was more difficult than Chuck's. Also, Jimmy never claimed to be Chuck's peer, and I don't think anyone thought of them as legal equals. You don't become a partner in a major law firm by working dozens of little, insignificant cases, but you can become a partner by bringing in a major case that brings the firm millions of dollars and lots of prestige. And that's exactly the type of case Jimmy presented Howard, who called it a "slam dunk". I think one reason Chuck intervened to keep Howard from hiring Jimmy was to ensure he didn't become a partner.... and therefore, his peer.

Great episode and reaction ❤❤
