To me Chuck is the most annoying, unlikeable character I can ever remember in any series or movie. He's just a straight up punk. He's nerdy to the point of being impractical, rigid to the point nobody can be around him, a pussy, a teachers pet type tattletale, and jealous to an extreme of his brother, the only person that really cares about him. I'm not gonna feel 1 bit sorry for him when he gets institutionalized permanently.

I'm thinking it has something to do with Chuck lying on the statement about the tape being the only one in existence or maybe it is to attempt to get him disbarred for illegally taping a conversation with a fellow lawyer.

Chuck is in a trap.
He warned Kim that they will have to play the tape if they challenge him at the bar. Then Chuck will have to explain how they have a tape if it was destroyed. Then entrapment comes into play. Also, Jimmy can just tell them he was trying to save his brother. His brother has been on a rampage, checking in and out of the hospital, etc. They will probably bring in the black assistant to back everything up. Chuck is will be seen in a VERY bad light, and he is too smart to see something so obvious. |

I agree. Chuck made a specific comment that Jimmy's actions will hurt someone along the way. Something Jimmy/Kim do will have consequences. And judging by Chuck's comments, it probably sets in motion Kim getting hurt. It doesn't seem like the writers to set up a clean victory where Jimmy emerges as an undisputed hero. And even though Chuck seems evil, I think the writers are more complex than that. Before Chuck slips away (if he does) they're going to want to prove that he was right about Jimmy.

All of the characters dwell in the gray area, which is what makes them so damn interesting. |

Surprised the ratings for this show continue to go down. First season even after the initial 1st 3 episode bump still averaged strong at 2.6 million viewers per episode. Season 2 was around 2.1 million viewers. This season it's about 1.7 million viewers. Such a good show for dwindling viewership. Compare that to BB which continually gained steam and ratings every single season as it went ESPECIALLY by season 5.

Not ridiculing or complaining, but listening to the BCS aftershow podcast, it's a fascinating world the rules and regulations of content creation.
The last episode, they went on at length about all the extra precautions they had to take with the new camera tech, . . . because they could shoot in lower light, and crew were stumbling over themselves and set pieces. Then there was lightning regulations. In the premiere, there was a scene with a lightning flash, and people not on set wondered if it was CGI, because apparently if there's visible lightning anywhere, there's a mad scramble to determine the distance, and if it's closer than 6 miles, everything shuts down immediately, no matter what. And the whole union thing with gaffers being called on for anything that creates light. But then you have to get a grip for anything that blocks or shades light. Finally, not a safety or union thing, but they went on and one about how cold it was during the Don Eladio swimming scene, and what a trooper he was diving into the pool. It always seems that any scene in any medium that isn't on a stage set, the actors go on and on about either how cold or how hot it was, and how much they endured to 'get the shot.'

I'm actually re-watching the series and I've got to say that some of the best acting I've ever seen in BCS and BB was on the episode 5-0 with mike getting revenge. When he breaks down and tells his Daughter in law about the incident I still get blown away.
Mike is the best thing ever. |

There's no way that tape should get played. And I think Chuck protected the original for chain of custody issues but as has been noted, it implies malice aforethought and pre-planning. Now how that all ties together with the photographs Mike took is completely beyond me.
