Yes! This was a great scene. I'm trying to contextualize it re why Sandpiper and Mesa Verde went sideways. Beautiful scene though between the two of them.
"We always end up having the same conversation don't we?" Felt so haunting. It felt like Chuck was a ghost telling Jimmy how broken their relationship was
It’s sad because it shows that there was a point that Chuck was willing to try and mend their relationship. But Jimmy wasn’t in a place where he’s willing to do that. People have already pointed it out but this is most likely the sincere moment that Jimmy would like to go back and change.
@@martincurran6432 it's shortly before the pilot. Jimmy mentions how a newstand might start carrying the financial times, which in the pilot he gives Chuck saying he was finally able to get his hands on it.
This is Jimmy’s ‘time machine’ moment: going back and stopping this conversation from being “the same one they always have.” It was the opportunity to maybe mend their relationship…and it slipped right through their fingers.
@@readbyname chuck wanted to have a heart to heart with jimmy after realizing jimmy is really going out of his way to help him which jimmy refused because he thought he would just be berated about his job
"If you don't like where you're heading, there's no shame in going back and changing your path." the perfect quote to describe how and why Saul returned to being Jimmy McGill again.
@@thisbubblygoodness7611 I mean that IS the text in this scene. He was saying this to stop Jimmy from pursuing law because of how he works about it. The subtext is that in view of the entire story, it's about showing Jimmy you can still change thing, just because you were doing things wrong all this time doesn't mean you can't still turn and change to make right decisions, which is what he did in the last court scene.
Chuck was reading HG Wells, The Time Machine. Where he tries to change the course of history, only to realize he was powerless to change the time line. No matter what he did, the love of his life always died.
Im so glad that Chuck got one final scene this season. I was afraid they would end it without giving us a final goodbye to such a pivotal character to Jimmy's story.
It’s so strange to think we only got Chuck for three seasons before his death. When almost all of Jimmy’s in S4-S6 actions go through the lens of his guilt and desperation to avoid Chuck’s condemnation of his character, it’s hard to believe he’s missing for half the show.
Me too. I realized a week or 2 so that I'm like,"Oh man, that'd be so cool if they bring back Chuck for a scene!" The story needed it, and they totally surprised us since we knew Walt was gonna appear - total distraction.
I love how the last words Jimmy hears from Chuck is “you never really mattered all that much to me”. Chucks first words here are “I was starting to worry”
I like to imagine that the reason Chuck said that to Jimmy is because he didn’t want Jimmy to feel bad when Chuck killed himself, cause there’s a bunch of times in the show where Chuck shows that Jimmy does matter a lot to him
Sad too, cause it was obvious Chuck said that to Jimmy at the end so his suicide would not have affected him as much as it would have if he'd said nothing or the opposite. Though it had a different effect than he'd hoped, Chuck tried to look out for his younger brother.
The returning actors didn't skip a single beat. Michael McKean, Bryan Cranston, Betsy Brandt - they slipped right into their characters like a good pair of shoes.
It was funny how Chuck and Marie had moments that showed positive qualities (bravery for Marie and concern for Chuck) and Walt's scene was just him being incredibly condescending and mean to Jimmy.
So was this Jimmy’s ACTUAL time machine destination?? Not making things right with Kim, not taking everything he did to wind up a criminal lawyer, not being there next to his mother when she died. It was realizing the rare moment in which his brother genuinely wanted to open up to him and where he failed to recognize that. And how maybe there were other moments like this that he neglected to see. Very sad… but I think this a great full circle moment for the show. I always hoped that we would see Chuck one more time.
I don’t think it’s necessarily _the_ destination, as in with completely finality, but rather one of the many regrets that Jimmy kept avoiding while running from his pain and guilt.
I think it has more to do with regrets, and all of the flashbacks are Jimmy recalling talking to the others about regrets. He used a time machine as a way to soften his regrets like Walt said. Chuck saying "there's no harm in changing your path" is when Jimmy changes his mind about the 7 years in jail to protect Kim. Chuck was clearly reading the Time Machine so he was thinking about regrets in that moment which is why he brought it up. Chuck doesn't really have regrets as Jimmy initially though, but as we know his only true regret is that he couldn't change Jimmy and couldn't stop him from being a lawyer. In the other two flashbacks, it was Jimmy asking Mike, and Saul asking Walt. Mike gave an upfront straight answer to Jimmy because he holds a lot of regrets and Jimmy didn't understand because all he wanted was money(and he was dehydrated). Saul is confronted with Walts abrasiveness and calls the regrets for what they are and Saul completely ignores what he said and changes to topic, then he bring up about regretting an injury which is him avoiding the obvious. So this entire last episode is about regret. Kim is the only one he really cares about and he's not going to let her go to jail and he doesn't regret doing it.
it was exactly his destination that's why he even called it time machine when in reality its just a opportunity to change stuff you regret As walt said. Jimmy here shows human side and would actually love to change stuff between him and other people close to him for the better. But walt only desired the company not regretting that he called jack and ultimately killed hank
Yes. That’s what the book is about at the end. “Time machine” .. it’s jimmy’s time machine moment, he would go back and change things with his brother. This show is so damn good
God I love this scene, the sadness in Chuck's voice when he says "thats not what I had in miind" ugh, the way his voice shakes when he says "mind" brings me to tears. Fantastic acting.
@@baz5785 I mean he was expecting the conversation to go as usual. That’s the tragedy of those two. They clearly did care about each other, but just were unable to really connect with each other because they were so different
Michael McKean's acting here is so perfect. The little quiver in his voice when he says "that's not what I had in mind" and him actually wanting Jimmy to stick around. It shows how much that as much of a controlling asshole Chuck was, there was still a little part of him inside that yearned for a better relationship with Jimmy as well.
I think Chuck truly felt like he was doing what was best for Jimmy at some point. but with his mental health issues and jealousy, it went downhill fast.
Both of them loved each other, both of them fucked up their relationship, and it's so tragic. For better or for worse, Chuck was such a huge part of Jimmy's life, and his absence is almost tangible.
Chuck always wanted to have jimmy in his life and to have a loving relationship with him, but the resentment he had felt towards him for being a more “likeable” person just never went away. I’m glad that Chucks final scene in the series shows precisely that, bc oftentimes we tend to just remember chuck as someone who had it out for jimmy, when in reality their relationship was of two people wanting to reach out, but ultimately resentful of the other for their own shortcomings
Chuck only cares in the vaguest of senses out of Familial obligation... but he doesn't truly care enough about Jimmy to want to spend time with him or do the "little things" that make people truly close to one another. When Jimmy says Chuck would do the same for him... we cut to a shot of Chuck nearly wanting to express that he wouldn't... when their relationship ends with Chuck saying "You've never really mattered that much to me"... he wasn't just saying it to hurt him then... he was coming clean this whole time... he has such little respect for Jimmy, he truly means it even as early as this point in the timeline
@@MedalionDS9 this scene proved Chuck did cared for Jimmy but Jimmy was too distracted about things that happened in the past and was on defensive mode and in my opinion this is Jimmy’s biggest regret.
@@MedalionDS9 I just think that Chuck has different ways of caring as Jimmy has. Jimmy is subsiervant, Chuck gives advices. Yeah not the most obvious way of showing affection which makes it more depressing for people that are like this, but saying that Chuck didn't care about Jimmy is not entirely true, since we've seen his worry about Jimmy's path, he got him out of jail (and by that point, Jimmy is already a gown ass adult). And yeah he got tired of Jimmy getting away with his tricky games, whether you want to admit it or not, Jimmy hurt as much as Chuck did to Jimmy. And Jimmy knows this, and that's why he regrets not having this heart to heart conversation with Chuck.
@@LadyLilith1015 I never said Chuck doesn't love Jimmy... but again, it's more a blunt thing than a subtle thing if that makes any sense. You can love a family member, but doesn't mean you want to hang with them and care about everything that goes on in their life... that's what I am trying to say. Take that idea, but with resentment and a growing distrust over time... it all adds up.
@@rohnitnair Well it's a pretty clear cut bit of symbolism, so not much reaching. It's Chuck's very last scene, walking away into the darkness while holding the very cause of his demise. The episode was all about regret, and this definitely shows what Jimmy's biggest regret was.
This scene is the one in the finale that made me tear up the most. I don't think I've seen anything that captures this kind of brother/sibling dynamic so well like BCS does. Chuck's such a great character and I was hoping to see him one last time
>lied to jimmy about his moms final words >his last words to his brother was that he never liked him >repeatedly told him he would never change Fuck Chuck
Loved the final theme of the show. Chuck believed Jimmy could never change, and I think we all thought he was right...but in the end, Jimmy returned from Saul and changed for the better.
@@EdNorty he changed after the damage was done. He calls himself Jimmy McGill which is great from a character development point of view but he already chose the path he did, hence why the prisoners chant Saul goodman. Basically it’s too late for him to “take another path” like chuck said, he just wanted to resolve himself of the guilt in chucks death and show Kim he has a soul after all
@@niko-iwnl- It's never too late to change (hence, the Chuck flashback). He was literally about to cross into "strangling old women" territory. And he was about to escape justice yet again (100 years down to 7 years). The change we're referring to isn't physical (whether he's in prison or not) but spiritual.
Every time I hear Chuck's last line it makes me want to cry. This whole scene is painted like an genuine memory instead of a flashback, and to see Jimmy remembering and longing to have just talked with his brother and changed his path is haunting.
Chuck already did. The series started out with Chuck doing Jimmy a serious solid, especially considering Chuck's stoic stance on the law. He went outside what was right to get Jimmy out of jail.
Honestly was super happy to see Chuck. I loved the ending. Jimmy McGill isn’t quite dead after all. That shot of them two in the cell with the sunlight shining… just perfection.
@@LucasMartins-zv3oh with 86 years? The guys pushing 50, if he does get out with good behaviour he's probably going to be pushing late 80s at least. And let's face it this is Jimmy we're talking about, sooner or later he's going to start slippin'.
@@mappingshaman5280 in the episode he said exactly that, that he could leave sooner for good behavior, and in my eyes, slippin jimmy is dead, there is only jimmy now
I fucking love that we got to see this scene after all the diverting Saul did when he was asked about his regrets. If only he had a time machine to go back and have one more conversation with Chuck.
My reading of this scene is that this is Jimmy's "time machine" moment. Not just the revelation that it was Chuck’s copy of The Time Machine, but for once, Chuck seems genuinely interested in Jimmy’s career as a lawyer. He seems to want to help Jimmy. It might be the warmest moment we've ever seen Chuck have with Jimmy. For once, we see Jimmy give Chuck the cold shoulder, not the other way around. Then Chuck says, "If you don't like where you're heading, there's no shame in going back and changing your path." Jimmy- "When have you ever changed your path?" Chuck- "We always end up having the same conversation don't we." Perhaps- in Jimmy's memory at least- that moment was Jimmy's real chance at having the relationship he always wanted with Chuck, and he rejected it. Underneath everything, all Jimmy ever really wanted was Chuck’s love and acceptance. If he had had that, his path in life would’ve been completely different, and there never would’ve been a Saul Goodman.
When Chuck said "We always have the same conversations" I think that was telling us Chuck tried many times before too, but this was probably the last time he tried having a heart to heart with Jimmy, and their relationship really deteriorated after that. Really depressing
@@bobob9969 Exactly. And it's not coincidence that "Better Call Saul" starts just after this. Because it was when Chuck had give up changing Jimmy and started to take measure against his mistakes.
"When have you ever changed your path?" Wow... pretty powerful knowing how Chuck ended up. Jimmy finally did. The way I see it, the time machine mentions of this episode say this: You can never go back, but there's still always time to change the road you're on.
I think the time machine references do say that but I think this scene also makes it about regret, Jimmy does have guilts and regrets over how things ended with Chuck and his part in his brothers suicide and that really feels like the only thing that Jimmy McGill would go back and change (Saul Goodman might change some other things but Jimmy wouldn’t) and I also feel like it’s appearances here suggests that maybe Chuk to would’ve taken a different path had he known where things would end up, maybe a different path with his brother, the time machine IS showing how we can’t change the past but we can change our current path but it’s also about the regrets we have and how we (and the characters) often wish we could go back and change just 1 thing
This scene humanised Chuck. He was always an asshole with few redeeming traits, but even he had his moments of compassion. Jimmy was cynical of him and cautious of talking about his practice (for good reason), but Chuck seemed like he genuinely just wanted to shoot the shit with his brother for once. He wanted a heart to heart. He was lonely in that big house and sought conversation with the person closest to him. Jimmy didn't see that, all he saw was an opportunity for Chuck to grill him over his questionable clientele at his practice. It's sad, really.
But you can’t blame Jimmy for not wanting to talk about his practice with Chuck. He was afraid Chuck would judge him harshly like he always does. Sure Chuck didn’t want to this time but he’s cried wolf too many times for Jimmy to believe he just wants to sit and talk without any conflict. Ultimately I think it’s both sides fault in this situation
I didn't really get that sense the first time I saw it. Jimmy says "You'd do the same for me." The cut to Chuck pondering implies that he knows he wouldn't. Him half-lecturing Jimmy about giving his clients a vigorous defense. Then giving a jab at him for possibly stealing ice from a motel. We know that Chuck hated that Jimmy was practicing law, so I also saw the line about Jimmy changing paths as just him being selfish. I think the only thing that might've humanized him for me is the book he was reading and the 'we always have the same conversation' line. He wishes things were different, but it really looked like he did nothing to change it. If having a heart-to-heart only led to Chuck asking Jimmy to quit law, which we know was one of his motives, it sounded like it would've always been the same. Jimmy has always been able to change his paths, but Chuck never has. If Chuck wanted the heart to heart, he had to be the one to change.
Chuck's intention wasn't so innocent or supportive; his comment on stealing the ice is a clear indication that he had no trouble criticizing Jimmy's intentions. But he's also not entirely wrong about Jimmy. Notice that when Jimmy expected Chuck to look down on him for his questionable clients, Jimmy himself was looking down on his clients. Chuck instead reminded Jimmy that everyone deserves a good defense; Chuck had always said the law is sacred. His last comment on changing the path was an appeal to Jimmy's suppressed conscience: if you don't care about your clients, stop being an attorney. Chuck knew that Slippin' Jimmy could evolve to Saul Goodman, so he went to great lengths to sabotage Jimmy. Tragically, his shortsighted and uncompromising actions could only sink Jimmy further into corruption.
I thought the karaoke scene did that. Although I hated Chuck the most, he was absolutely my favorite character in the show. I couldn't stand him and yet, I was infinitely fascinated by the depths of his character and motivations. I would always be asking the question "did he do this because of his jealousy of Jimmy? Did he mean it when he said he genuinely wants Jimmy to change his path? Was it both?". Kudos to every single fucking member on the crew honestly. Gould and Giligan mostly.
Fun fact: In Season 6, episode 1, during the scene where Saul's mansion is being taken apart, you will see Chuck's Time Machine novel in Saul's stuff. Saul kept it before the fire happened, perhaps as a memorabilia (like the bottle cap from Kim at the end of that scene).
In season 3 we see that Chuck read to Jimmy as kids and they talk about a book they loved from when they were young (The Adventures of Mabel). I think literature is something that was important to their relationship.
Such a deep scene that can easily fly past the less discerning audience. The subtext of the scene is of course Jimmy's regret which he has consistently avoided talking about whether to Walt or to Mike. The simmering up and down of this scene is just heart-breaking showing signs of appreciation and love between these 2 siblings that go beyond words. 1. It starts by Chuck's amazement of his brother willingness to go the extra length to take care of him despite Jimmy's working schedule. However, when Jimmy says 'you'd do the same for me', he displayed a sense of disappointment because he knows that he might not have done so. 2. Having realised that, Chuck sensed that he should do a bit more to mend their relationship by offering Jimmy to have a proper heart-to-heart conversation. 3. However, with their history of relationship, Jimmy didn't think that Chuck offer came with good intentions and quickly shot it down as Chuck usually didn't treat him with respect. 4. Jimmy's reaction saddens Chuck not only because of Jimmy's assumption but also that Chuck felt that it's probably true as this would be what he does on regular basis, i.e. talking down to Jimmy. His sadness comes with a quiver in his voice when he says 'that's not what I had in mind ...' 5. However, all the good faith between both of them came crashing down, when Chuck couldn't hold himself and made an assumption that Jimmy took the easy way out again by 'stealing ice from a nearby motel'. 6. Annoyed by Chuck's allegations, Jimmy quickly shut off Chuck's offer to have a proper conversation and wanted to quickly leave before it escalates into their usual bad faith conversation. Small scene like this underscores that the opportunity was always there for both of them to mend their relationship as even though they had their history, both of them still love each other. And the biggest sadness is that, if only both of them took a bit more restraint and tried a bit harder, Jimmy would never go down the route of being Saul and avoided allowing his life go down into spiral. Eerily, I think this is a very true reflection of life where thing like this happens and sometimes if we just took a bit more effort, things will turn out very differently...
Beautiful analysis! I must admit I didn’t think much of this scene at first (although since the beginning of season 6 I was hoping for a flashback scene with Chuck) but thanks to a few rewatches and your breakdown it really helps me realize what an important scene this is.
"They deserve a rigorous defense, same as anyone else." This line makes me cry. Chuck was not a nice person, but he genuinely believed in the law. He genuinely wanted Jimmy to see and believe in that, to have pride in it and he didnt see it at the time. The fact that Jimmy sorta spends his entire life as Saul bastardizing this concept by being a criminal lawyer who got a lot of people killed just makes me weep. It wasn't all Jimmy's fault, but it still stings all the same.
I think there’s three moments, which were the ones shown in the episode: 1. Accepting to take Lalo’s bail money 2. Starting to work with Walter 3. This
It's heartbreaking because in this scene, Chuck saw, seemingly for the first time, how much Jimmy cared for him, which already made Chuck feel guilty, then his attempt to try to mend ways by simply asking Jimmy to stay for the night and have a nice conversation but to Jimmy, he saw this as just another berate from Chuck and yada yada yada. You can even hear the slight break in Chuck's voice when he said "That's not what I had in mind" Phenomenal scene.
2:58 - There’s something so beautiful and ominous about this line. It says so much about the cyclical nature we’ve seen Jimmy possessing, it also perfectly encapsulates Chuck and Jimmy’s relationship. However, with the way it’s shot to make Chuck look almost like a ghost it feels like almost a nightmare for Jimmy, as if we’re seeing a dream he’s had repeatedly since Chucks death, displaying the guilt he holds onto for what he did, as well as the torment he’s been through having to watch this memory time and time again.
To me Chuck looks very much like a doll or a clay figure. They did a brilliant job with the lightning & possibly make up, to give Chuck that weird look. Better Call Saul was much "better" in their cinematographic work & their various shots & angles. Visually it feels much more appealing & colorful than Breaking Bad.
I’m glad that Jimmy personally took responsibility for Chuck’s death in the end. Jimmy’s ending is poetically tragic yet beautifully written and fitting for his character, even redeeming. The show was fantastic, beautiful, tragic, funny and it’s sad to see it go.
I guess you have forgotten how he only went after his insurrence after Chuck went after his livelihood. Difference is Jimmy succeded while Chuck failed.
He could have taken the Insurance Sabotage story to his grave and nobody would have known/nor be prompted to ask for it, but he even made sure that Kim knew.
@@vlad_47 that doesn't take away from Jimmy's guilt. The point of his confessions and this scene is that Jimmy realized how pointless their fighting was. Sure you could could point fingers all you want as to which brother was in the wrong but at the end of the day all he wanted was to fix his relationship with his brother not win over him. His biggest regret was letting it get that far.
Jimmy’s biggest regret was letting his brother die. But more then just that was letting his brother down by proving him right in everything. I despise chuck for what he did to Jimmy, but sadly he was right about him. Jimmy used the law as a game and created Saul Goodman and just whipped his ass with the law. He had multiple chances with Davis and main and elder law, but chuck said it best “he can’t help himself”. But after hearing about Kim confessing and possibly losing everything he decided to rid of Saul and become Jimmy again❤️🥲. Him confessing and taking the 86 years is something chuck would of been proud of. Taking real responsibility for what he has done. “My brother is not a bad person. He has a good heart”-chuck. That def came into light after all these years of build up and development.
Chucks is just as much to blame. Did you not watch the same show as me? Chuck has always despised apart of Jimmy. It's made clear when we find out Chuck has been sabotaging Jimmy all these years, lying to jimmys face putting on a whole facade for years. He never once gave Jimmy a chance even though Jimmy was changing his life around a first. If chuck had not made that call to Howard telling him to deny Jimmy then Jimmy would probably be a good lawyer.
@@angelcarrillo3089 bruh chuck could have done that anytime out of all those times Jimmy brought him food. For like a year or something. He had all that time to make up.
@@marleyabd1729 If you don't understand why chuck did it this particular time instead of any other time for the year or however long they had, then you clearly don't understand the scene or even chuck as character. To say chuck could have done it any of the other times is something someone who doesn't understand the show would say lol.
I find it quite touching that Chuck really did want to hear about Jimmy's clients, and Jimmy really did want to help Chuck with his groceries. Underneath it all they loved each other, in the uniquely complicated way that siblings do.
I find some people making this observation, and I don't fully agree... Chuck doesn't actually care about Jimmy's clients is getting help from Jimmy, but that the clients deserve real defense... from a real lawyer... aka, not Jimmy... because at this point he is not outright saying he secretly doesn't want Jimmy to be a lawyer and is not up to task.
@@planetoffkey4337 He is not capable of human moments because he's too good at being a Lawyer, he gave up his humanity for it... losing his wife and his family who liked Jimmy more.
Bigger gestures like that mean less, than the small things... so you're right... Chuck wouldn't do the same for Jimmy, but getting him out of prison is the Family thing to do because that was when their Mom was still alive... familial obligation
He was also Jimmy's voucher into becoming a lawyer in the beginning (forgot which episode but, he was representing for Jim). They both helped each other in their own way
I love that this scene plays after the confession, not before. To the audience, this is more than just a memory; it’s a sequential event that shows the lantern burning bright once Jimmy has done the right thing.
Man, their relationship was derailed by so many misunderstandings. Chuck actually was making a real overture here, trying to truly reach out to Jimmy and help him find a way to become free of Saul. He may not have been Saul Goodman yet at this point, but Saul was always there throughout Jimmy's life. The aspects of Jimmy's character that manifested into Saul Goodman were the things that Chuck looked down on, and grew to resent and despise Jimmy, or rather Saul, for. When Chuck tries to spend some brotherly time together and have a real talk with Jimmy, the defense mechanism of Saul Goodman comes out quick and shuts down the talk before it could ever start. Saul doesn't want to go down this path, because it leads to the end of Saul.I It's clear from Chuck saying "it's always the same conversation" that he had tried many times to reach out and try to get through to Jimmy. Chuck was painted as a real bastard, and there are things he did to Jimmy or the Saul inside Jimmy that weren't great, but the show really comes full circle in showing that Chuck was right about Jimmy. As Saul becomes worse and worse, you start to view Chuck in a better light, and this scene validates all of it. Yeah he wasn't perfect, but he tried with Jimmy and eventually they mutually screwed it all up because they weren't able to get through to each other. I guess over time Chuck became more and more resigned to the idea that Jimmy would never be able to purge Saul from his character, and became hateful and bitter and started trying to hurt Jimmy. Jimmy's biggest regret, clearly shown from the Time Traveler book - not staying, taking Chuck's hand and changing the road he was on. It was a beautiful to see Jimmy finally get rid of Saul in the end... only for that great ironic humor of the BBverse to play out so that he enjoys safety and prestige in prison because he was Saul. Awesome show.
Chuck is really the Skyler of Better Call Saul; both characters were right about their concerns about the protagonist's issues as they were heading down a bad path, and tried to stop them to no avail. And despite them being in the right, fan opinion on them is polarised as there are still people who see them in the wrong.
@@mmgmagic Chuck is one of the big reasons why Jimmy became Saul. I am not hating on Chuck, he clearly cared for Jimmy to some extent, but it’s undeniable that Chuck and especially his disapproval of Jimmy had a big part in causing Saul. Chuck was right about many issues that plagued Jimmy, but he made the wrong conclusion, that Jimmy was completely unable to change und thus should be contained. It’s also not entirely on Chuck, they are both at fault. As shown perfectly here, they were just not able to really understand each other, which lead them to making assumptions of each other that only drove them further apart. Don’t know where you have the stuff with Skyler from. She is barely responsible for what Walt turned into.
I don't think he enjoys the prestige from people knowing who he is. He hates the name Saul Goodman now. He wants to be Jimmy McGill. The irony is that everyone insists on that name which symbolizes his crimes and mistakes. That's why it's powerful when Kim calls him Jimmy. Most people will always know him as Saul, but the person he cares about the most understands he's Jimmy.
@@mmgmagic I don't think Skyler is responsible for Walt at anywhere near the level of that Chuck is responsible for Jimmy. Bit of a reach. Not every main BCS character has to be the BCS equivalent of a main BB character.
I almost cried when I saw Chuck, I almost cried when Jimmy confessed what he did to Chuck. Chuck might have destroyed Jimmy, but Jimmy also did the same to Chuck.
I love the lighting in this scene. We've seen Chuck's house at night before. But in this scene it's much darker than normal. The way it only partially lights up Chuck's face makes him look like a specter, still haunting Jimmy after all those years. And the way he disappears into the darkness as his final appearance in the story is just incredible.
I cried so hard on this. This is brotherhood. They always end up talking about the same things. Saul tries to talk about the same subject with Mike (one of the most mature characters) and Walter (one of the smartest persons he'd ever known), probably expecting a great answer but instead they do not take it seriously, or think it's a joke. Even if they have good answers, it's never as real as you expect them to be. Sometimes you want to implement subjects/conversations with "the right people," but those conversations you can only truly have them with your siblings. A time travel machine. This was beautiful!
The tragedy of the scene is that neither of them can get out of their own way. This was a close as Chuck could come to helping his brother but he lets it slip through his fingers because of the guilt he feels for what he's done to Jimmy. When Jimmy says Chuck would do the same for him Chuck realizes that he actually wouldn't. That He'd get someone else to do it. That he'd never think of doing it himself. And that shame keeps him from telling Jimmy what he really feels. And Jimmy resents having to struggle and scrape and help his brother but hey, his brother got him out of that thing with the kids in the car. (although I still think that Chuck had something to do with getting the charges raised to get Jimmy into a position where he'd have to come to Albuquerque) and neither of them really talked about their parents. Just a simple conversation and so much suffering would have never happened.
Considering Jimmy swapped those Mesa Verde Numbers in order to mess with Chuck. I bet Chuck was way ahead of Jimmy & actually photoshopped a picture of 2 kids into the backseat, just to raise Jimmys potential sentence. The idea of Chuck having orchestrated the whole thing, with the Chicago Police & Chet, just so he would have Jimmy at his mercy is actually an interesting, plausible thought. And the idea of Chuck actually fabricating evidence for Jimmy to take the deal, is just way too hilarious. lol
0:59 That look Chuck has…one of touched surprise. He sees a glimmer of goodness and hope in Jimmy and reaches out, hoping for a connection, but their faults allow the moment to slip between their fingers. Heartbreaking. What could have been…
The lesson from this episode: If you don't like the way you are heading, there is no shame to change your path. But there are no time machines, and what's done is, is done. But you can always chose to do the right thing.
This scene made me cry. Knowing everything that transpired between these two and where Jimmy ends up, it’s emotional. Just like the Hank flashback in Breaking Bad’s finale. Knowing everything they’ve been through while seeing a moment from early on just has something to it.
I feel a bit teary while watching this scene. At this moment, with no animosity and jealousy clouding their relationship, Chuck was just Jimmy’s brother and wanted to connect with him.
Chuck's expression and demeanor at 2:57 is so fucking haunting. It's like after this and every moment in BCS seasons 1-3 that Chuck and Jimmy don't try to take bigger steps to mend their relationship, Chuck's prophecy becomes true: that Jimmy would never change... the same way their relationship never moved past this particular kind of interaction. The H.G. Wells novel kind of asserts that this is the true place Jimmy would have "gone back in time to" and deeply regrets: to reconcile with his brother. Incredible show that ended with the consequences of the protagonist's actions and yet, still made him feel more free than he's ever been. Because he did it the moment he took responsibility for everything: he finally changed. RIP Chuck.
One consistent theme of both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul has been that even the tiniest choices can lead to insane consequences. I think this scene is suggesting that the entire course of Jimmy's life could have been altered had he stayed and just had a nice, friendly, genuine talk with his brother that one extremely rare time when Chuck wasn't looking down on him or feeling jealous. One heart to heart, and maybe Jimmy would slowly realise that although he was extremely hard working, patience was what he really needed, that maybe being paid $700 per case doing public defender work wasn't the worst thing in the world, that maybe he didn't need the Kettlemans to be his clients, that maybe he shouldn't team up with the skater twins, which in the end would mean that he'd never cross paths with Tuco and the cartel world. Slippin' Jimmy could have stayed dead, and Saul Goodman never would've been born.
Jimmy deflects the first time saying he wished he invested in stocks he then deflects the second time saying he wished he didn't hurt his knee running a scam. The H.G. Wells book seen in the closing shot of the Chuck scene where Jimmy mentions the newsstand might carry the financial Times tomorrow, revealing the point he secretly wishes he could go back to, was right then, he simply wishes he didn't walk out of that conversation with his brother. Then the very FIRST episode of BCS Jimmy tells chuck the news stand now carries the Financial Times, that day was the moment he began his downfall into Saul. He wishes he could go back to right before that day
This is what jimmy meant when he said “I tried…I could’ve tried harder.” Jimmy took extreme care of chuck in terms of his condition, but he never actually worked to fix their relationship.
I couldn't stop the tears watching this scene. Sometimes the whole things fall apart because of some tiny little choices we made, and brothers become strangers even enemies. In the end you turn around and find that nobody wins and almost everybody cared for you has gone.
The lighting of Chuck's face throughout the scene just adds a completely different dimension to this scene. I don't think we'll ever see anything have the attention to detail and poignancy that both BCS and BB have had.
This was beautiful. After everything that happened between Jimmy and Chuck at the end of the day they still loved each other deeply as seen here where we see that Chuck also had moments of warmth and support for Jimmy's law career. I'm so glad we got another scene with these two. Just stunning, I'm going to miss this show so much 😭
this scene always brings me to the verge of tears, the way they both cared about each other yet were so fucking lame while trying to communicate is perfectly represented by just this scene and this scene alone, seeing both of them struggle and be hostile to one another is just heartbreaking throughout the whole series, and it is even more now that its all over, and this moment jimmy could've used to just talk, is nothing but an ash that faded away in the fire
Not to detract from a terrific episode but one small continuity error to point out is that Jimmy is wearing Marco’s ring in this episode but we know that he only started wearing that ring after Marco died which is after he stopped looking after Chuck
This made me have the biggest genuine smile. The moment i hear Chuck's voice i cant even control my emotions. I was so happy to see him for once again.
I like how in the entire scene, but specially in minute 2:41 onward, Chuck looks kinda dark, as if he was a ghost and his face almost resembles a skull. Wether it was intentional or not, I interpret that imagery as if at this season, Chuck is like a ghost from a past life that maybe just came back to try and say Goodbye one last time. At the end Chuck goes away carrying the lamp (Or one that looks like it) that ended his life, as if he was going to the afterlife. Is just perfect
Jimmy and Chuck relationship reminds me a lot of mine with my grandfather. I lived with him and took care of him when i was a teenager, he was, like Chuck, a wise person, but he had difficulties expressing his feelings, so living with him was not always easy. I despised him the last years he was alive and sometimes i just wanted him to die. I was limited aswell since i was a teenager. He's passed away due to the age, and seeing this scene i can't help but shedding a tear. Things could have been different if we (i) were more open hearted with each other, because deep down we loved each other. I'm sure also Chuck and Jimmy loved each other, and hopefully they'll meet again someday
So glad the final episode gave us a heart to heart between the 3 most vital characters in Jimmy’s story. Chuck, Mike and Walter. After missing his oppertunity to bond with Chuck he tries to remedy it by asking the time machine question. Mike and Walt didn’t realised it when they asked him but him asking the question is essentislly Jimmy trying to redo the one thing he really regretted
This scene got me. I don’t know why I got so emotional watching it. Just some of the things. Chuck's look when he sees what his brother is doing for him,when jimmy fills that box with ice. When he tries to sit down with jimmy,it felt like for the first time he was caring for his brother jimmy not slipping jimmy. To me that moment also felt like chuck is trying to enjoy every moment he's having with his brother. It’s like he knows something will happen to him & he'll miss his brother. The disappointment when he fails to sit jimmy down for a chat,the advice about changing the path & ending up having the conversation are all bit heartbreaking stuff to me.
The more I watch this the more I realize this was jimmy’s regret, he had the chance hell they both did, to completely change each other’s lives. Jimmy knew things could have changed looking back at this, but they didn’t.
Bringing Chuck back is vital... to remind where we started from. Michael was able to inhabit the role just for a few min scene after years of not playing him... quite good
I like to think that this is the real Chuck. The other Chuck, that is more often shown/seen, is a result of the childhood jealously and need to be in control that stems from Jimmy being the favorite child who always got away with everything.

Felt so haunting. It felt like Chuck was a ghost telling Jimmy how broken their relationship was
Even more so when you see that the book Chuck was reading was H.G. Wells' _The Time Machine._ Very well done.
It’s sad because it shows that there was a point that Chuck was willing to try and mend their relationship. But Jimmy wasn’t in a place where he’s willing to do that. People have already pointed it out but this is most likely the sincere moment that Jimmy would like to go back and change.

"If you don't like where you're heading, there's no shame in going back and changing your path." the perfect quote to describe how and why Saul returned to being Jimmy McGill again.
Well he did get caught, so usually that’s when people actually take action instead of before.
i also like how its clear subtext of Chuck suggesting Jimmy to stop being a Lawyer, given how much Chuck hates that secretly.
@@thisbubblygoodness7611 I mean that IS the text in this scene. He was saying this to stop Jimmy from pursuing law because of how he works about it.
The subtext is that in view of the entire story, it's about showing Jimmy you can still change thing, just because you were doing things wrong all this time doesn't mean you can't still turn and change to make right decisions, which is what he did in the last court scene.
Jimmy should have become a business man and salesman. He would have killed there, legally.
Chuck was reading HG Wells, The Time Machine. Where he tries to change the course of history, only to realize he was powerless to change the time line. No matter what he did, the love of his life always died.
Im so glad that Chuck got one final scene this season. I was afraid they would end it without giving us a final goodbye to such a pivotal character to Jimmy's story.
It’s so strange to think we only got Chuck for three seasons before his death. When almost all of Jimmy’s in S4-S6 actions go through the lens of his guilt and desperation to avoid Chuck’s condemnation of his character, it’s hard to believe he’s missing for half the show.
Chuck was the main reason Jimmy became what he is, but after his death, it kinda gave Jimmy to be Saul Goodman, a villain
If Saul wasn't doomed by being in BrBa, I think he would have repaired his relationship with Chuck if he was just a normal character.
its so fitting too that the one flashback after his death was this episode, the only time when jimmy allowed himself to process the grief
Me too. I realized a week or 2 so that I'm like,"Oh man, that'd be so cool if they bring back Chuck for a scene!" The story needed it, and they totally surprised us since we knew Walt was gonna appear - total distraction.
I love how the last words Jimmy hears from Chuck is “you never really mattered all that much to me”.
Chucks first words here are “I was starting to worry”
his first words were actually "you ground yourself?" lol
Canonically his first words would be whatever he said in the tree house when they were howling like wolves
I like to imagine that the reason Chuck said that to Jimmy is because he didn’t want Jimmy to feel bad when Chuck killed himself, cause there’s a bunch of times in the show where Chuck shows that Jimmy does matter a lot to him
Sad too, cause it was obvious Chuck said that to Jimmy at the end so his suicide would not have affected him as much as it would have if he'd said nothing or the opposite.
Though it had a different effect than he'd hoped, Chuck tried to look out for his younger brother.
N left only 5000 dollars for him out of his will
The returning actors didn't skip a single beat. Michael McKean, Bryan Cranston, Betsy Brandt - they slipped right into their characters like a good pair of shoes.
It was funny how Chuck and Marie had moments that showed positive qualities (bravery for Marie and concern for Chuck) and Walt's scene was just him being incredibly condescending and mean to Jimmy.
@@Carlos-ln8fd There was that glance at the watch, showing remorse for Jesse. And he got Saul to say what he actually meant, regrets.

So was this Jimmy’s ACTUAL time machine destination??
Not making things right with Kim, not taking everything he did to wind up a criminal lawyer, not being there next to his mother when she died.
It was realizing the rare moment in which his brother genuinely wanted to open up to him and where he failed to recognize that. And how maybe there were other moments like this that he neglected to see. Very sad… but I think this a great full circle moment for the show.
I always hoped that we would see Chuck one more time.
didnt think about that but yea ur right
I don’t think it’s necessarily _the_ destination, as in with completely finality, but rather one of the many regrets that Jimmy kept avoiding while running from his pain and guilt.
I think it has more to do with regrets, and all of the flashbacks are Jimmy recalling talking to the others about regrets. He used a time machine as a way to soften his regrets like Walt said. Chuck saying "there's no harm in changing your path" is when Jimmy changes his mind about the 7 years in jail to protect Kim. Chuck was clearly reading the Time Machine so he was thinking about regrets in that moment which is why he brought it up. Chuck doesn't really have regrets as Jimmy initially though, but as we know his only true regret is that he couldn't change Jimmy and couldn't stop him from being a lawyer.
In the other two flashbacks, it was Jimmy asking Mike, and Saul asking Walt. Mike gave an upfront straight answer to Jimmy because he holds a lot of regrets and Jimmy didn't understand because all he wanted was money(and he was dehydrated). Saul is confronted with Walts abrasiveness and calls the regrets for what they are and Saul completely ignores what he said and changes to topic, then he bring up about regretting an injury which is him avoiding the obvious.
So this entire last episode is about regret. Kim is the only one he really cares about and he's not going to let her go to jail and he doesn't regret doing it.
it was exactly his destination
that's why he even called it time machine when in reality its just a opportunity to change stuff you regret As walt said.
Jimmy here shows human side and would actually love to change stuff between him and other people close to him for the better.
But walt only desired the company not regretting that he called jack and ultimately killed hank
Yes. That’s what the book is about at the end. “Time machine” .. it’s jimmy’s time machine moment, he would go back and change things with his brother. This show is so damn good
God I love this scene, the sadness in Chuck's voice when he says "thats not what I had in miind" ugh, the way his voice shakes when he says "mind" brings me to tears. Fantastic acting.

Bravo Vince
Michael McKean's acting here is so perfect. The little quiver in his voice when he says "that's not what I had in mind" and him actually wanting Jimmy to stick around. It shows how much that as much of a controlling asshole Chuck was, there was still a little part of him inside that yearned for a better relationship with Jimmy as well.
I think Chuck truly felt like he was doing what was best for Jimmy at some point. but with his mental health issues and jealousy, it went downhill fast.
Both of them loved each other, both of them fucked up their relationship, and it's so tragic. For better or for worse, Chuck was such a huge part of Jimmy's life, and his absence is almost tangible.
Chuck always wanted to have jimmy in his life and to have a loving relationship with him, but the resentment he had felt towards him for being a more “likeable” person just never went away. I’m glad that Chucks final scene in the series shows precisely that, bc oftentimes we tend to just remember chuck as someone who had it out for jimmy, when in reality their relationship was of two people wanting to reach out, but ultimately resentful of the other for their own shortcomings
Such a bittersweet scene. It also made me realize how much I miss Chuck from the show

@@LuxsorFlare That was a cruel and honest statement that made me laugh with recognition. Well done.
This scene make me cry. You can finally see Chuck caring for Jimmy and he wasn’t paying attention
Chuck only cares in the vaguest of senses out of Familial obligation... but he doesn't truly care enough about Jimmy to want to spend time with him or do the "little things" that make people truly close to one another. When Jimmy says Chuck would do the same for him... we cut to a shot of Chuck nearly wanting to express that he wouldn't... when their relationship ends with Chuck saying "You've never really mattered that much to me"... he wasn't just saying it to hurt him then... he was coming clean this whole time... he has such little respect for Jimmy, he truly means it even as early as this point in the timeline
@@MedalionDS9 this scene proved Chuck did cared for Jimmy but Jimmy was too distracted about things that happened in the past and was on defensive mode and in my opinion this is Jimmy’s biggest regret.
@@joshuel2008 He cared enough to keep giving Jimmy chances to change, but he never did and he started to get fed up with him over the run of the show
@@MedalionDS9 I just think that Chuck has different ways of caring as Jimmy has. Jimmy is subsiervant, Chuck gives advices. Yeah not the most obvious way of showing affection which makes it more depressing for people that are like this, but saying that Chuck didn't care about Jimmy is not entirely true, since we've seen his worry about Jimmy's path, he got him out of jail (and by that point, Jimmy is already a gown ass adult). And yeah he got tired of Jimmy getting away with his tricky games, whether you want to admit it or not, Jimmy hurt as much as Chuck did to Jimmy. And Jimmy knows this, and that's why he regrets not having this heart to heart conversation with Chuck.
@@LadyLilith1015 I never said Chuck doesn't love Jimmy... but again, it's more a blunt thing than a subtle thing if that makes any sense. You can love a family member, but doesn't mean you want to hang with them and care about everything that goes on in their life... that's what I am trying to say. Take that idea, but with resentment and a growing distrust over time... it all adds up.

I fucking love that we got to see this scene after all the diverting Saul did when he was asked about his regrets. If only he had a time machine to go back and have one more conversation with Chuck.
My reading of this scene is that this is Jimmy's "time machine" moment. Not just the revelation that it was Chuck’s copy of The Time Machine, but for once, Chuck seems genuinely interested in Jimmy’s career as a lawyer. He seems to want to help Jimmy. It might be the warmest moment we've ever seen Chuck have with Jimmy. For once, we see Jimmy give Chuck the cold shoulder, not the other way around.
Then Chuck says, "If you don't like where you're heading, there's no shame in going back and changing your path."
Jimmy- "When have you ever changed your path?"
Chuck- "We always end up having the same conversation don't we."
Perhaps- in Jimmy's memory at least- that moment was Jimmy's real chance at having the relationship he always wanted with Chuck, and he rejected it. Underneath everything, all Jimmy ever really wanted was Chuck’s love and acceptance. If he had had that, his path in life would’ve been completely different, and there never would’ve been a Saul Goodman.
When Chuck said "We always have the same conversations" I think that was telling us Chuck tried many times before too, but this was probably the last time he tried having a heart to heart with Jimmy, and their relationship really deteriorated after that. Really depressing
@@bobob9969 Exactly. And it's not coincidence that "Better Call Saul" starts just after this. Because it was when Chuck had give up changing Jimmy and started to take measure against his mistakes.

@@VictorIV0310 I lol'd
"When have you ever changed your path?" Wow... pretty powerful knowing how Chuck ended up. Jimmy finally did. The way I see it, the time machine mentions of this episode say this: You can never go back, but there's still always time to change the road you're on.
I think the time machine references do say that but I think this scene also makes it about regret, Jimmy does have guilts and regrets over how things ended with Chuck and his part in his brothers suicide and that really feels like the only thing that Jimmy McGill would go back and change (Saul Goodman might change some other things but Jimmy wouldn’t) and I also feel like it’s appearances here suggests that maybe Chuk to would’ve taken a different path had he known where things would end up, maybe a different path with his brother, the time machine IS showing how we can’t change the past but we can change our current path but it’s also about the regrets we have and how we (and the characters) often wish we could go back and change just 1 thing

@@04dram04 my first thought, too!
This scene humanised Chuck. He was always an asshole with few redeeming traits, but even he had his moments of compassion. Jimmy was cynical of him and cautious of talking about his practice (for good reason), but Chuck seemed like he genuinely just wanted to shoot the shit with his brother for once. He wanted a heart to heart. He was lonely in that big house and sought conversation with the person closest to him. Jimmy didn't see that, all he saw was an opportunity for Chuck to grill him over his questionable clientele at his practice. It's sad, really.
But you can’t blame Jimmy for not wanting to talk about his practice with Chuck. He was afraid Chuck would judge him harshly like he always does.
Sure Chuck didn’t want to this time but he’s cried wolf too many times for Jimmy to believe he just wants to sit and talk without any conflict. Ultimately I think it’s both sides fault in this situation
I didn't really get that sense the first time I saw it. Jimmy says "You'd do the same for me." The cut to Chuck pondering implies that he knows he wouldn't. Him half-lecturing Jimmy about giving his clients a vigorous defense. Then giving a jab at him for possibly stealing ice from a motel. We know that Chuck hated that Jimmy was practicing law, so I also saw the line about Jimmy changing paths as just him being selfish. I think the only thing that might've humanized him for me is the book he was reading and the 'we always have the same conversation' line. He wishes things were different, but it really looked like he did nothing to change it. If having a heart-to-heart only led to Chuck asking Jimmy to quit law, which we know was one of his motives, it sounded like it would've always been the same. Jimmy has always been able to change his paths, but Chuck never has. If Chuck wanted the heart to heart, he had to be the one to change.
Chuck's intention wasn't so innocent or supportive; his comment on stealing the ice is a clear indication that he had no trouble criticizing Jimmy's intentions. But he's also not entirely wrong about Jimmy. Notice that when Jimmy expected Chuck to look down on him for his questionable clients, Jimmy himself was looking down on his clients. Chuck instead reminded Jimmy that everyone deserves a good defense; Chuck had always said the law is sacred. His last comment on changing the path was an appeal to Jimmy's suppressed conscience: if you don't care about your clients, stop being an attorney. Chuck knew that Slippin' Jimmy could evolve to Saul Goodman, so he went to great lengths to sabotage Jimmy. Tragically, his shortsighted and uncompromising actions could only sink Jimmy further into corruption.
@@MynameisBrianZX slipping Jimmy evolved into Saul...like a chimpanzee with a machine gun
I thought the karaoke scene did that. Although I hated Chuck the most, he was absolutely my favorite character in the show. I couldn't stand him and yet, I was infinitely fascinated by the depths of his character and motivations. I would always be asking the question "did he do this because of his jealousy of Jimmy? Did he mean it when he said he genuinely wants Jimmy to change his path? Was it both?". Kudos to every single fucking member on the crew honestly. Gould and Giligan mostly.

So glad their dynamic wrapped a nice bow around the whole finale
Fun fact: In Season 6, episode 1, during the scene where Saul's mansion is being taken apart, you will see Chuck's Time Machine novel in Saul's stuff.
Saul kept it before the fire happened, perhaps as a memorabilia (like the bottle cap from Kim at the end of that scene).
In season 3 we see that Chuck read to Jimmy as kids and they talk about a book they loved from when they were young (The Adventures of Mabel). I think literature is something that was important to their relationship.
Such a deep scene that can easily fly past the less discerning audience. The subtext of the scene is of course Jimmy's regret which he has consistently avoided talking about whether to Walt or to Mike.
The simmering up and down of this scene is just heart-breaking showing signs of appreciation and love between these 2 siblings that go beyond words.
1. It starts by Chuck's amazement of his brother willingness to go the extra length to take care of him despite Jimmy's working schedule. However, when Jimmy says 'you'd do the same for me', he displayed a sense of disappointment because he knows that he might not have done so.
2. Having realised that, Chuck sensed that he should do a bit more to mend their relationship by offering Jimmy to have a proper heart-to-heart conversation.
3. However, with their history of relationship, Jimmy didn't think that Chuck offer came with good intentions and quickly shot it down as Chuck usually didn't treat him with respect.
4. Jimmy's reaction saddens Chuck not only because of Jimmy's assumption but also that Chuck felt that it's probably true as this would be what he does on regular basis, i.e. talking down to Jimmy. His sadness comes with a quiver in his voice when he says 'that's not what I had in mind ...'
5. However, all the good faith between both of them came crashing down, when Chuck couldn't hold himself and made an assumption that Jimmy took the easy way out again by 'stealing ice from a nearby motel'.
6. Annoyed by Chuck's allegations, Jimmy quickly shut off Chuck's offer to have a proper conversation and wanted to quickly leave before it escalates into their usual bad faith conversation.
Small scene like this underscores that the opportunity was always there for both of them to mend their relationship as even though they had their history, both of them still love each other. And the biggest sadness is that, if only both of them took a bit more restraint and tried a bit harder, Jimmy would never go down the route of being Saul and avoided allowing his life go down into spiral.
Eerily, I think this is a very true reflection of life where thing like this happens and sometimes if we just took a bit more effort, things will turn out very differently...
Beautiful analysis! I must admit I didn’t think much of this scene at first (although since the beginning of season 6 I was hoping for a flashback scene with Chuck) but thanks to a few rewatches and your breakdown it really helps me realize what an important scene this is.
Last episode is the best episode in the entire series. Most meaningful
"They deserve a rigorous defense, same as anyone else."
This line makes me cry. Chuck was not a nice person, but he genuinely believed in the law. He genuinely wanted Jimmy to see and believe in that, to have pride in it and he didnt see it at the time.
The fact that Jimmy sorta spends his entire life as Saul bastardizing this concept by being a criminal lawyer who got a lot of people killed just makes me weep. It wasn't all Jimmy's fault, but it still stings all the same.
Ya guys think this is the moment Jimmy actually wishes he could go back to if he had a time machine?
yup
I think there’s three moments, which were the ones shown in the episode:
1. Accepting to take Lalo’s bail money
2. Starting to work with Walter
3. This

@@normalizenatalie yup yup yup yup yup...
It's heartbreaking because in this scene, Chuck saw, seemingly for the first time, how much Jimmy cared for him, which already made Chuck feel guilty, then his attempt to try to mend ways by simply asking Jimmy to stay for the night and have a nice conversation but to Jimmy, he saw this as just another berate from Chuck and yada yada yada. You can even hear the slight break in Chuck's voice when he said "That's not what I had in mind"
Phenomenal scene.
When Chuck says ‘that’s not what I had in mind’ with the subtle voice crack breaks my heart. I know the feeling. RIP Chuck McGill
2:58 - There’s something so beautiful and ominous about this line. It says so much about the cyclical nature we’ve seen Jimmy possessing, it also perfectly encapsulates Chuck and Jimmy’s relationship. However, with the way it’s shot to make Chuck look almost like a ghost it feels like almost a nightmare for Jimmy, as if we’re seeing a dream he’s had repeatedly since Chucks death, displaying the guilt he holds onto for what he did, as well as the torment he’s been through having to watch this memory time and time again.
To me Chuck looks very much like a doll or a clay figure.
They did a brilliant job with the lightning & possibly make up, to give Chuck that weird look.
Better Call Saul was much "better" in their cinematographic work & their various shots & angles.
Visually it feels much more appealing & colorful than Breaking Bad.
I’m glad that Jimmy personally took responsibility for Chuck’s death in the end. Jimmy’s ending is poetically tragic yet beautifully written and fitting for his character, even redeeming. The show was fantastic, beautiful, tragic, funny and it’s sad to see it go.
I guess you have forgotten how he only went after his insurrence after Chuck went after his livelihood. Difference is Jimmy succeded while Chuck failed.
He could have taken the Insurance Sabotage story to his grave and nobody would have known/nor be prompted to ask for it, but he even made sure that Kim knew.
I dont feel its that tragic. As he is able to find atonement for his sins through doing time.
@@vlad_47 that doesn't take away from Jimmy's guilt. The point of his confessions and this scene is that Jimmy realized how pointless their fighting was. Sure you could could point fingers all you want as to which brother was in the wrong but at the end of the day all he wanted was to fix his relationship with his brother not win over him. His biggest regret was letting it get that far.
@@robertovaldivia1573 Chuck wouldve never stopped. Thats a major reason why Jimmy felt that he had to strike him with such a knock out blow.
Jimmy’s biggest regret was letting his brother die. But more then just that was letting his brother down by proving him right in everything. I despise chuck for what he did to Jimmy, but sadly he was right about him. Jimmy used the law as a game and created Saul Goodman and just whipped his ass with the law. He had multiple chances with Davis and main and elder law, but chuck said it best “he can’t help himself”. But after hearing about Kim confessing and possibly losing everything he decided to rid of Saul and become Jimmy again❤️🥲. Him confessing and taking the 86 years is something chuck would of been proud of. Taking real responsibility for what he has done. “My brother is not a bad person. He has a good heart”-chuck. That def came into light after all these years of build up and development.
Underrated comment
Chucks is just as much to blame. Did you not watch the same show as me? Chuck has always despised apart of Jimmy. It's made clear when we find out Chuck has been sabotaging Jimmy all these years, lying to jimmys face putting on a whole facade for years. He never once gave Jimmy a chance even though Jimmy was changing his life around a first. If chuck had not made that call to Howard telling him to deny Jimmy then Jimmy would probably be a good lawyer.
@@marleyabd1729 that's why the time travel, he was trying to listen to his brother, he asked about his cases, he wanted to fix things
@@angelcarrillo3089 bruh chuck could have done that anytime out of all those times Jimmy brought him food. For like a year or something. He had all that time to make up.
@@marleyabd1729 If you don't understand why chuck did it this particular time instead of any other time for the year or however long they had, then you clearly don't understand the scene or even chuck as character.
To say chuck could have done it any of the other times is something someone who doesn't understand the show would say lol.
I find it quite touching that Chuck really did want to hear about Jimmy's clients, and Jimmy really did want to help Chuck with his groceries. Underneath it all they loved each other, in the uniquely complicated way that siblings do.
I find some people making this observation, and I don't fully agree... Chuck doesn't actually care about Jimmy's clients is getting help from Jimmy, but that the clients deserve real defense... from a real lawyer... aka, not Jimmy... because at this point he is not outright saying he secretly doesn't want Jimmy to be a lawyer and is not up to task.
@@MedalionDS9 Their relationship is far more complex than that.
They always end up having the same conversation, don’t they?
@@MedalionDS9 chuck is always evil and incapable of human moments grrrrr
@@planetoffkey4337 He is not capable of human moments because he's too good at being a Lawyer, he gave up his humanity for it... losing his wife and his family who liked Jimmy more.
"You'd do the same for"
He probably wouldn't but then i remember he got him out of prison
This one fr
Bigger gestures like that mean less, than the small things... so you're right... Chuck wouldn't do the same for Jimmy, but getting him out of prison is the Family thing to do because that was when their Mom was still alive... familial obligation
He was also Jimmy's voucher into becoming a lawyer in the beginning (forgot which episode but, he was representing for Jim). They both helped each other in their own way
That was for the Chicago moonroof incident.
He took him into his own firm…
I love that this scene plays after the confession, not before. To the audience, this is more than just a memory; it’s a sequential event that shows the lantern burning bright once Jimmy has done the right thing.
"You never mattered all that much to me"
Sure Chuck.... sure.
Man, their relationship was derailed by so many misunderstandings. Chuck actually was making a real overture here, trying to truly reach out to Jimmy and help him find a way to become free of Saul. He may not have been Saul Goodman yet at this point, but Saul was always there throughout Jimmy's life. The aspects of Jimmy's character that manifested into Saul Goodman were the things that Chuck looked down on, and grew to resent and despise Jimmy, or rather Saul, for.
When Chuck tries to spend some brotherly time together and have a real talk with Jimmy, the defense mechanism of Saul Goodman comes out quick and shuts down the talk before it could ever start. Saul doesn't want to go down this path, because it leads to the end of Saul.I It's clear from Chuck saying "it's always the same conversation" that he had tried many times to reach out and try to get through to Jimmy. Chuck was painted as a real bastard, and there are things he did to Jimmy or the Saul inside Jimmy that weren't great, but the show really comes full circle in showing that Chuck was right about Jimmy. As Saul becomes worse and worse, you start to view Chuck in a better light, and this scene validates all of it. Yeah he wasn't perfect, but he tried with Jimmy and eventually they mutually screwed it all up because they weren't able to get through to each other. I guess over time Chuck became more and more resigned to the idea that Jimmy would never be able to purge Saul from his character, and became hateful and bitter and started trying to hurt Jimmy.
Jimmy's biggest regret, clearly shown from the Time Traveler book - not staying, taking Chuck's hand and changing the road he was on.
It was a beautiful to see Jimmy finally get rid of Saul in the end... only for that great ironic humor of the BBverse to play out so that he enjoys safety and prestige in prison because he was Saul. Awesome show.
Chuck is really the Skyler of Better Call Saul; both characters were right about their concerns about the protagonist's issues as they were heading down a bad path, and tried to stop them to no avail. And despite them being in the right, fan opinion on them is polarised as there are still people who see them in the wrong.
@@mmgmagic
Chuck is one of the big reasons why Jimmy became Saul. I am not hating on Chuck, he clearly cared for Jimmy to some extent, but it’s undeniable that Chuck and especially his disapproval of Jimmy had a big part in causing Saul.
Chuck was right about many issues that plagued Jimmy, but he made the wrong conclusion, that Jimmy was completely unable to change und thus should be contained. It’s also not entirely on Chuck, they are both at fault. As shown perfectly here, they were just not able to really understand each other, which lead them to making assumptions of each other that only drove them further apart.
Don’t know where you have the stuff with Skyler from. She is barely responsible for what Walt turned into.
@@mmgmagic Skyler is so much less sympathetic than Chuck, her behavior is -- while somewhat understandable -- also really stupid.
I don't think he enjoys the prestige from people knowing who he is. He hates the name Saul Goodman now. He wants to be Jimmy McGill. The irony is that everyone insists on that name which symbolizes his crimes and mistakes. That's why it's powerful when Kim calls him Jimmy. Most people will always know him as Saul, but the person he cares about the most understands he's Jimmy.
@@mmgmagic I don't think Skyler is responsible for Walt at anywhere near the level of that Chuck is responsible for Jimmy. Bit of a reach. Not every main BCS character has to be the BCS equivalent of a main BB character.
I almost cried when I saw Chuck, I almost cried when Jimmy confessed what he did to Chuck. Chuck might have destroyed Jimmy, but Jimmy also did the same to Chuck.
I DID CRY 😭 ESPECIALLY WHEN I SAW THE BOOK KNOWING THAT JIMMY WOULD COME BACK HERE WITH HIS TIME MACHINE
Not a dry eye was present when my family watched this scene - let alone the finale itself.
Indeed it was sad. And reality hits to know our show is over.
Chuck is actually reading the same book Gene is reading when he eats lunch at the mall.
No. He was reading “The Moon is a Balloon”
No he did still have it in the opening of season 6

@@MB-rt9dq what a waste that could be more epic his only appearence
I love the lighting in this scene. We've seen Chuck's house at night before. But in this scene it's much darker than normal. The way it only partially lights up Chuck's face makes him look like a specter, still haunting Jimmy after all those years. And the way he disappears into the darkness as his final appearance in the story is just incredible.
I cried so hard on this. This is brotherhood. They always end up talking about the same things.
Saul tries to talk about the same subject with Mike (one of the most mature characters) and Walter (one of the smartest persons he'd ever known), probably expecting a great answer but instead they do not take it seriously, or think it's a joke. Even if they have good answers, it's never as real as you expect them to be.
Sometimes you want to implement subjects/conversations with "the right people," but those conversations you can only truly have them with your siblings.
A time travel machine. This was beautiful!
I love two 60 and 75 year old Men are playing characters in their 40s-50s lol
The tragedy of the scene is that neither of them can get out of their own way. This was a close as Chuck could come to helping his brother but he lets it slip through his fingers because of the guilt he feels for what he's done to Jimmy. When Jimmy says Chuck would do the same for him Chuck realizes that he actually wouldn't. That He'd get someone else to do it. That he'd never think of doing it himself. And that shame keeps him from telling Jimmy what he really feels. And Jimmy resents having to struggle and scrape and help his brother but hey, his brother got him out of that thing with the kids in the car. (although I still think that Chuck had something to do with getting the charges raised to get Jimmy into a position where he'd have to come to Albuquerque) and neither of them really talked about their parents. Just a simple conversation and so much suffering would have never happened.
Chuck wouldn't even bother getting somebody else to do it
@@justoandres4951 But he did fly to another state to save him from a felony charge, and then give him a job lol.
Considering Jimmy swapped those Mesa Verde Numbers in order to mess with Chuck.
I bet Chuck was way ahead of Jimmy & actually photoshopped a picture of 2 kids into the backseat, just to raise Jimmys potential sentence.
The idea of Chuck having orchestrated the whole thing, with the Chicago Police & Chet, just so he would have Jimmy at his mercy is actually an interesting, plausible thought.
And the idea of Chuck actually fabricating evidence for Jimmy to take the deal, is just way too hilarious.
lol
McKean is only in the episode for about three minutes, but my god he steals the entire show. Just a truly fantastic actor
@Mr7Reality which is a testament to the magnificent writing and acting across both series.
@Mr7Reality that’s why they are the perfect actors :D
0:59 That look Chuck has…one of touched surprise. He sees a glimmer of goodness and hope in Jimmy and reaches out, hoping for a connection, but their faults allow the moment to slip between their fingers. Heartbreaking.
What could have been…
The lesson from this episode:
If you don't like the way you are heading, there is no shame to change your path.
But there are no time machines, and what's done is, is done.
But you can always chose to do the right thing.

It feels like a ghost that comes out of the underworld to meet jimmy and returns alone.
This scene made me cry. Knowing everything that transpired between these two and where Jimmy ends up, it’s emotional. Just like the Hank flashback in Breaking Bad’s finale. Knowing everything they’ve been through while seeing a moment from early on just has something to it.
What hank flashback?
I feel a bit teary while watching this scene. At this moment, with no animosity and jealousy clouding their relationship, Chuck was just Jimmy’s brother and wanted to connect with him.
Chuck's expression and demeanor at 2:57 is so fucking haunting. It's like after this and every moment in BCS seasons 1-3 that Chuck and Jimmy don't try to take bigger steps to mend their relationship, Chuck's prophecy becomes true: that Jimmy would never change... the same way their relationship never moved past this particular kind of interaction. The H.G. Wells novel kind of asserts that this is the true place Jimmy would have "gone back in time to" and deeply regrets: to reconcile with his brother.
Incredible show that ended with the consequences of the protagonist's actions and yet, still made him feel more free than he's ever been.
Because he did it the moment he took responsibility for everything: he finally changed. RIP Chuck.
One consistent theme of both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul has been that even the tiniest choices can lead to insane consequences. I think this scene is suggesting that the entire course of Jimmy's life could have been altered had he stayed and just had a nice, friendly, genuine talk with his brother that one extremely rare time when Chuck wasn't looking down on him or feeling jealous. One heart to heart, and maybe Jimmy would slowly realise that although he was extremely hard working, patience was what he really needed, that maybe being paid $700 per case doing public defender work wasn't the worst thing in the world, that maybe he didn't need the Kettlemans to be his clients, that maybe he shouldn't team up with the skater twins, which in the end would mean that he'd never cross paths with Tuco and the cartel world. Slippin' Jimmy could have stayed dead, and Saul Goodman never would've been born.
So fucking happy they brought him back one last time
Jimmy deflects the first time saying he wished he invested in stocks he then deflects the second time saying he wished he didn't hurt his knee
running a scam. The H.G. Wells book seen in the closing shot of the Chuck scene where Jimmy mentions the newsstand might carry the financial Times tomorrow, revealing the point he secretly wishes he could go back to, was right then, he simply wishes he didn't walk out of that conversation with his brother. Then the very FIRST episode of BCS Jimmy tells chuck the news stand now carries the Financial Times, that day was the moment he began his downfall into Saul. He wishes he could go back to right before that day
This was such a perfect scene.
The whole episode was. The whole season was. _The whole show_ was near perfect, one of the best ever made.
This was Jimmy’s regret. He should have listened and stayed with his brother to talk.
This is what jimmy meant when he said “I tried…I could’ve tried harder.” Jimmy took extreme care of chuck in terms of his condition, but he never actually worked to fix their relationship.
I couldn't stop the tears watching this scene. Sometimes the whole things fall apart because of some tiny little choices we made, and brothers become strangers even enemies. In the end you turn around and find that nobody wins and almost everybody cared for you has gone.
This might be the night before the first episode of BCS, in Chuck's first scene Jimmy surprises him with a copy of financial times
The lighting of Chuck's face throughout the scene just adds a completely different dimension to this scene. I don't think we'll ever see anything have the attention to detail and poignancy that both BCS and BB have had.
This was beautiful. After everything that happened between Jimmy and Chuck at the end of the day they still loved each other deeply as seen here where we see that Chuck also had moments of warmth and support for Jimmy's law career.
I'm so glad we got another scene with these two. Just stunning, I'm going to miss this show so much 😭

There are so many reasons why this scene is heartbreaking. One of the best scenes not only in the finale, but the entire show
This series has such great iconography for all its characters. As soon as we see that dark house and hear the lamp hissing we know it’s Chuck
Yeah idk how they do that the first scene of Saul gone already made me think of the opening for breaking bad
this scene always brings me to the verge of tears, the way they both cared about each other yet were so fucking lame while trying to communicate is perfectly represented by just this scene and this scene alone, seeing both of them struggle and be hostile to one another is just heartbreaking throughout the whole series, and it is even more now that its all over, and this moment jimmy could've used to just talk, is nothing but an ash that faded away in the fire
Not to detract from a terrific episode but one small continuity error to point out is that Jimmy is wearing Marco’s ring in this episode but we know that he only started wearing that ring after Marco died which is after he stopped looking after Chuck
This made me have the biggest genuine smile. The moment i hear Chuck's voice i cant even control my emotions. I was so happy to see him for once again.
"You'd do the same for me."
The tragedy here is that no, no he wouldn't. You can even see it in his face right after.
I like how in the entire scene, but specially in minute 2:41 onward, Chuck looks kinda dark, as if he was a ghost and his face almost resembles a skull. Wether it was intentional or not, I interpret that imagery as if at this season, Chuck is like a ghost from a past life that maybe just came back to try and say Goodbye one last time. At the end Chuck goes away carrying the lamp (Or one that looks like it) that ended his life, as if he was going to the afterlife. Is just perfect
God this scene gets to me and after watching the chicanery’s scene makes it that more impactful
This episode definitely passed the Bar
WHAT A SICK JOKE!
I love that you hid that behind the button. Nice.
(Hits head on photo copier)
Jimmy and Chuck relationship reminds me a lot of mine with my grandfather. I lived with him and took care of him when i was a teenager, he was, like Chuck, a wise person, but he had difficulties expressing his feelings, so living with him was not always easy. I despised him the last years he was alive and sometimes i just wanted him to die. I was limited aswell since i was a teenager. He's passed away due to the age, and seeing this scene i can't help but shedding a tear. Things could have been different if we (i) were more open hearted with each other, because deep down we loved each other. I'm sure also Chuck and Jimmy loved each other, and hopefully they'll meet again someday
So glad the final episode gave us a heart to heart between the 3 most vital characters in Jimmy’s story.
Chuck, Mike and Walter.
After missing his oppertunity to bond with Chuck he tries to remedy it by asking the time machine question. Mike and Walt didn’t realised it when they asked him but him asking the question is essentislly Jimmy trying to redo the one thing he really regretted
That slight pause Chuck makes when saying "While you're trying to start a.....practice?"
says so much. Great detail.
This scene got me. I don’t know why I got so emotional watching it. Just some of the things. Chuck's look when he sees what his brother is doing for him,when jimmy fills that box with ice.
When he tries to sit down with jimmy,it felt like for the first time he was caring for his brother jimmy not slipping jimmy.
To me that moment also felt like chuck is trying to enjoy every moment he's having with his brother. It’s like he knows something will happen to him & he'll miss his brother. The disappointment when he fails to sit jimmy down for a chat,the advice about changing the path & ending up having the conversation are all bit heartbreaking stuff to me.
I feel bad for chuck In this cuz he was actually wanting a moment with jimmy
i was hoping they would bring chuck back for a flashback. im so glad they did. seeing jimmy in his season 1 suit was also pretty cool
2:58 is an eerie line because it seems to me like the first time Chuck is self-aware about their relationship.
“That’s not what I had in mind”
- *Chuck*
“It’s not a show”
- *Jimmy*
NO FUCKING WAYYYY. Is so similaar 😭😭
we only got one scene?
what a SICK joke
*THONK*
The more I watch this the more I realize this was jimmy’s regret, he had the chance hell they both did, to completely change each other’s lives. Jimmy knew things could have changed looking back at this, but they didn’t.
Bringing Chuck back is vital... to remind where we started from. Michael was able to inhabit the role just for a few min scene after years of not playing him... quite good
Is this the moment Jimmy should have changed if he had a Time Machine?
Maybe not the exact moment but its implied that he wishes he could go back in time to take Chucks hand and have that desperately needed heart to heart
Yes..by having an open conversation that might have mended fences and stopped his brothers suicide and becoming Saul Goodman.
Being one of the few people that like Chuck, I was really happy ha was part of the last episode, it really add a lot for the story
Damn this scene is so fucking touching. 10/10 show, just as good if not better then breaking bad. I don’t tear up often from shows 🥲
1:00 Even knowing everything I already know is going to happen, seeing that smile on Chuck is so cute and sad at the same time...
I like that in the end, Jimmy redeemed himself and proved Chuck, Walt, and Mike wrong
All this time I've been longing for Jimmy to talk about Chuck, fianlly he did.
I just couldn't stop crying while watching this scene.
I like to think that this is the real Chuck. The other Chuck, that is more often shown/seen, is a result of the childhood jealously and need to be in control that stems from Jimmy being the favorite child who always got away with everything.
