I sure wouldn't blame him. There will probably be times where Jimmy will have to talk to him, if HHM takes over the suit, etc. Even if Chuck tries to get back on Jimmy's good side, being the snob that Chuck is turning out to be then no doubt once Jimmy starts being Saul, with his flashy clothes, tv commercials, ads on bus benches, etc., Chuck and Jimmy will be completely estranged.

We know he stays in Albequerqy ( I'm too lazy to look up the proper spelling, sue me ) or at least we know he's there five or six years from now when Walter White walks in to his life.
Mike was brilliant last night! In the parking garage to the end scene of his client & he in the van at the end. Loved, loved, loved the philosophy Mike gave the dude about he just became a criminal stealing the drugs to sell them. Great speech there Mike.
Was that the same parking garage where Walt was staked out trying to kill Gus?
Chuck was right to say those things to him, because he was finally being honest. He was also caught red-handed, but at least the truth is out.
We have seen the flashbacks of Slippin' Jimmy, with Chuck getting him out of legal jams. Then Chuck got him a job at his firm. Chuck did have his back and who knows what kind of trouble Jimmy would have caused growing up while Chuck worked and studied and acted responsibly. These guys are pretty long in the tooth now, and Chuck is supposed to believe at this point that Jimmy has just changed. He just pulled the billboard stunt and tried to hide that from Chuck. If they were a real family I would say they grew up in a pretty dysfunctional home, where Chuck looked out for Jimmy and saw enough where he understands Jimmy will always be slippin' in some respect. It's just who Jimmy is, even if he isn't all bad. A few years down the road he will be casually talking about sending people to "Belize" and comparing his client to Old Yeller.
Disagree to a point. Yes, Chuck had to clean up Slippin' Jimmy's messes, but Jimmy repaid him doubly by helping him with his "allergy" when he could have easily had him committed. Jimmy even passed up the chance to get money from HHM if he declared Chuck incompetent. He refused to do that because Chuck is his brother. Jimmy has been a good brother to Chuck and only wanted him to be proud. While Jimmy may never completely change, it was still crappy for Chuck to sell him out like that.
I liked Mike talking to the guy about the difference between a "criminal" and a "bad guy".
It seems to me that Saul Goodman is a criminal, but Walter White is a bad guy.
Regarding Chuck's decision, I get the feeling there was a little jealousy there. He used to be the law partner that Jimmy relied on. Jimmy was the inept little brother. When he scored this class action suit, he was in a position to be Chuck's equal or even surpass him (only due to Chuck's disability, of course). I know Jimmy had a shady past, but based on his emotional outburst explaining his decision, it seems like it had a basis in irrational emotion, at least in part.

Well put.
Walt started out as basically a decent guy. Breaking Bad was about how that good guy became a true monster, even if he did start out with supposed good intentions.
Jimmy started out as a crook who has tried to go straight. But he's slowly realizing the world is full of crooks. It's only a matter of time before he decides to join the pack.
Chuck is an arrogant p**ck who believes that unless you went to a top-tier law school you don't belong. He just crapped on every lawyer in America who earned their degrees from a state school. There is nothing magical about going to Harvard. The law is the law and everyone who passes the bar in their respective state is equal in the eyes of the courts.
He basically kept his brother in a lowly position at his law firm because he didn't think he measured up. He sabotaged his brother left and right, even though Saul has been a wonderful brother. Yes, he made mistakes in the past but he was there for his brother when he needed him. That whole crazy shtick was over the top, and if the positions were reversed Saul would be committed into a mental institution in a heartbeat.
I freakin love this show! Great acting, great Storylines, just wow!

Chuck Put the Brakes on Jimmy When he first Pass the bar. Remember the look on Chucks face When jimmy told him how he passed the bar?
Chuck was very bitter, but was trying to hide it in Conversation with jimmy. I suspect that Chuck went to his partners, behind Jimmy's back and told his partners, not to give jimmy a job at the firm.

Here's My .02 on the episode:
Chuck is Really Jealous of Jimmy. Chuck has had to work hard all his life, as to where things Naturally came to Jimmy.
People Like Chuck get pissed At people Like Jimmy in Life.
Mike was outstanding!
I enjoyed Mike's half of the show more than Jimmy and Chuck's half.
The difference between a Good Criminal and a bad guy was Genius!
Jimmy Becomes a good Criminal with a good heart. Chuck on the other hand is a Bad Guy
