BCS is a character study with occasional action elements. The pace is exquisite (IMHO). The slow build and surprises rock my world. Foreshadowing and callbacks are the heart and soul of BCS.
probably bailed when chuck started wrapping everything in foil.
Most likely, but I think there was a bit more going there from the 1? flashback that we saw. Those two were clearly unhappy, and she dug Jimmy and his unabashed lack of composure the moment that they met. Chuck was so clumsy trying to joke around with her--trying to be somewhat Jimmy--and this just intensified his hatred of Jimmy.
I think that dynamic drove another wedge into their relationship, either around the same time he started developing the psychosis, or maybe the psychosis developed after they separated. I suppose it is also possible that some freak accident occurred, sending him to shock and perhaps killing his wife, where Chuck wake up with this pathology. They haven't given us many details because Jimmy and Chuck never discuss Chuck's wife in BCS present-time, but after the last catatonic state for Chuck, the physician lady mentioned Chuck's earlier catatonia.
So, something, most likely very jarring, induced that initial state which resulted in his EMF sensitivity.
Wasn't his earlier catatonia the same visit where she demonstrated that the pain was psychosomatic (discretely turned on a cell phone)? The wife was already long gone then.
I don't think he was catatonic then, was he? I just remember him being all panicky and obnoxious; or maybe she just said "the previous episode," meaning that event, and I just assumed she meant the same type of catatonia...
wait, no, it was something else they haven't shown. She also said "Well, when he woke up from [that previous episode], this is when the psychosis began." She then suggested that there is some possibility that he will snap out of [current catatonia] and no longer claim EMF sensitivity. Paraphrasing, but I am pretty sure that's what she said. IN the actual BCS episode where the Doc tested him by pushing the button on the bed, he already had the sensitivity (obv)
I think they are just confident enough in the show's quality and pedigree that they don't need to leave us on a huge cliff hanger to make sure we come back next season. I'm a little comforted by it.
It simply didn't feel like a finale. It set up future episodes with minor cliff hangers but not much else.
Eh. Maybe the writers thought the end of the episode (season) was a wow moment. But with the way they develop the characters, I didn't find surprising at all.
I was disappointed with the Mike portion of the episode. All we get is buildup for something he doesn't even do (I know, not entirely his fault).
Really need more Mike next season. The brother bickering is getting old.
I don't think it's admissible because it was made without a witness or Jimmy's knowledge (expectation of privacy), so I think Chuck intends to use this to turn others against Jimmy. Kim knows but pretends not to. Hamlin may be questioning Chuck's competence. It could be used to trash Jimmy's reputation with clients forcing him to change his name. We'll see.Eh.

I don't think ethics complaint committees observe the same rules of evidence as in court. I used to work for a guy who prosecuted these sorts of complaints but it was a long time ago so I might be wrong about that.I don't think it's admissible because it was made without a witness or Jimmy's knowledge (expectation of privacy), so I think Chuck intends to use this to turn others against Jimmy.
