I always wanted to know the reason why Chuck and Rebecca lived separately leading up to their divorce… It makes it obvious things were not going well even before the dinner with Jimmy. I wonder what their relationship was actually like. Was it just not meant to be? Was there any altercations? Did something in their life just unfold? These are questions I wish I had the answers to.

i feel like chuck has a hard time accepting that people he has a high opinion of like jimmy. like obviously he freaks out because rebecca likes jimmy. and with kim he obviously doesn’t respect her or care about her feelings but she does conform to his idea of a “fine young woman” and successful lawyer so he’s baffled that she likes jimmy and assumes their relationship is jimmy manipulating her

I think Chuck explained away his feelings of insecurity in his youth by convincing himself he was "too good" for Cicero. Cicero is Slippin' Jimmy's territory. Chuck is meant for better things.

So once Chuck's able to work himself to the top and becomes part of ABQ's elite, he's thrilled they're more on his level: good education, good taste, good judgment. These people couldn't even conceive of someone like Jimmy, so surely they'd be mortified actually meeting him.

Especially his well-bred, sophisticated, classy wife. This dinner will be awful, but at least after he can finally talk it over with someone who feels just like he does about Jimmy!

After that dinner, Chuck's convinced he's underestimated Jimmy's powers of manipulation. He first manipulates Rebecca, then Howard, and then that poor Kim Wexler. There's no depth to how low Jimmy will sink.

i love when a character is a ghost but in a tragic way instead of a scary way. i love when a character has been dead from the beginning but is still holding on to stay in the narrative. i love when a character could choose to resent the living but ends up loving them instead. i love when a character drives the story but isn’t quite there enough to be at the center of it. i love when the ghosts are the protectors instead of the ones causing the harm. i love when a character is at the heart of the story because depending on where you began it, no matter how you told it, the story is about the ghost who struggled to keep their humanity

Ridoc: Imagine if someone handed you a box full of all the items you have lost throughout your lifetime. Garrick: My oblivious sense of life! Thank you for finding this Xaden: My will to live! I haven't seen this in years. Bodhi: I knew I lost my sense of purpose somewhere! Liam: It would be nice to get my mom back. Garrick: Xaden: Bodhi: Liam: Ridoc: Could y'all lighten up a bit?

You don't step foot in Victoria in... 10 years, and you just show up in the middle of my homicide investigation?

Chuck's in (well-deserved) hell.

Still not over Chuck thinking Jimmy intruded on his marriage when Jimmy was already a lovesick puppy over Kim at that point and Rebecca displays no interest in him beyond laughing at his jokes.

Reading all those interviews about Lantern and how unhealthily fixated Chuck is on Jimmy, makes me wonder if he loves Rebecca the most, but Jimmy is the only one he’s going to think about, and obviously his work and The Law is more important than either of them.

Chuck prioritizes the mind over the heart, so his intellectual passions are always going to take precedent over anything that stirs him emotionally. He's more comfortable when things are logical and orderly, and ironically nothing fulfils him more emotionally than being the one to take an unruly case and use the law to make it logical and orderly. Honestly, I think it comes down to a desire to be needed. He has contempt for Jimmy's neediness yet doesn't know how to relate to him without it. Rebecca ultimately doesn't need him, and so their relationship ends. The firm and his clients need him, but unlike Jimmy, his successes there are assured. Work is the only place he's really whole.

Well, apart from your dreadful puns.
