Just got caught all the way up. Really enjoying the show so far. Hope Huell shows up as Saul's bodyguard sooner than later.

I love all the little details this show puts into it. They didn't have to write a real article that only a few hundred people will actually see at best, yet it's there.

Dixon, camera operator, said he noticed Williams dangling on the billboard, dangling precariously from a safety line. "The dude was, like, so high, in the air, I mean just hanging there by a rope or something."

[...]

"And the lawyer just climbed right up there...If he wouldn't have done that, the guy...he probably definitely would be dead"


lol

Kind of cool to notice the date on the paper as 2002. Not totally unexpected because of the cell phones, etc but nice to have a specific time and like you said cool that they thought of those details.

good series so far, but wtf is with the guy and the foil and no electricity?
Google electromagnetic hypersensitivity. It's the unproven belief that electrical devices trigger or cause all types of medical problems. I've actually came across a few of these people in my lifetime, they are really out there. It's like Alex Jones type stuff but electronic.

I imagine the writers chose this for his brother because insurance companies most certainly don't recognize it as a real illness or disorder. So I'm sure Chuck and Saul have spent all of Chuck's life savings, or at least close to it. I'd also imagine there are some legal issues with Chuck and the Law firm, he's not going to be able to get a medical leave or whatever from an unproven illness.

I feel like it's a mental illness that is triggered by Saul somehow. At least that's what I've been thinking ever since he saw the medical bill and Saul kept telling him to take the stupid space blanket off.
Yeah I'm sure the show at some point will reveal when exactly Chuck started believing he has this problem, possibly from all the stress Saul has caused him over the years. This why Saul feels obligated to take care if him (that and because Chuck already saved his ass probably numerous times when Saul was a fuck up).
