This is the moment I lost my mind reading another “this is the moment” comment

He hurt everyone around him and had no other purpose besides wanting to stay as a lawyer which let his mental illness take hold of him.

He made the mistake a lot of people do; thinking his career defined who he was. Once he lost that, there was nothing left to live for. That’s what happens to people who retire and drop dead 5 years after.

His "allergy to electricity" was always a projection of his mental pain, pain that he was felt he was too intelligent and logical and superior to be feeling. He can't feel anguish because he did something wrong, whether it be guilt or stress or remorse; he can't do anything wrong. It must be something else, it must be the electricity. After learning that his mental illness was mental, he thought he could brute force his way past the coping mechanism he'd been relying on for years to logically justify the fact that he's a mentally flawless human being, but he did so at a time when he burned every last bridge he had, most importantly with Jimmy. He'd completely ruined his own life to maintain his ego, and the stress built so much within him that he impulsively fell back to his coping mechanism to deal with the extreme mental anguish. He couldn't have done anything wrong, I don't care what I've learned, I feel terrible and it can only be because of that damn electricity. Yet no matter how much electricity he destroyed, the anguish wouldn't go away, and he would rather die than admit to himself that the reason he feels this way is because he's made mistakes, so die he did.

One of the best worded ways of describing what was going on, it was never quite clear to me why he regressed the way he did just after showing he was getting better. Thank you

I've watched the show twice now and this is probably the best explanation I've read about what was going on with Chuck. Appreciate it :)

Anyone who suffers from mental health this scene is example of what mental illness can do to you and why people should look for professional help. This is why people should get the help they need as soon as possible so they can get better before they do something to themselves.

And that it’s not something that can be overcome by sheer force of will, you need help.

Everything Jimmy said to Chuck before the police took him away was correct, Chuck was gonna get sick again only this time it would be too much for him and Chuck indeed died all alone.

He was improving so fast but lying to Jimmy about his feelings for him was too much. Seeing this after a rewatch makes it so depressing.

Everytime he was exposed to the electricity he always had a rebound and it was as hard as the exposure to it. He lied to himself about getting better so fast.

You mean where Chuck McGill becomes Chuck McGrill

I wonder why American houses are so expensive given that they are made of junk that one can easily puncture with an ice pick.

This scene feels like a foil to Mike taking his car apart in the premiere. Mike patiently found the tracker by being methodical in his disassembly. Chuck was erratically picking at straws (kind of literally) while taking apart his house. He never found that last source of electricity and descended into madness, and eventually just couldn’t take it anymore. Even the soundtrack is reminiscent of Mike’s scene (both in G major/E minor and with similar motifs), except it feels like Chuck’s spiraling.

It wasn't "fake" as in Chuck pretending, it just wasn't a real physical disease, but Chuck did feel it and that was authentic. As soon as Jimmy proved it wasn't real, Chuck started to get treatment for it

@@zekeiwa5837 It was really based on visual input. In an early episode, Chuck was in the hospital, and the doctor turned on a light underneath the bed, which Chuck couldn’t see, so he had no reaction.

The score in this scene is phenomenal!

Michael McKean is an underrated treasure of an actor.

He could have just broken the meter in the first place without tearing apart his house, it would have broken the circuit anyway.

That wasn't the real issue, tho. He would have still felt a current because it was his guilt over what he said to Jimmy. That's why he relapsed

Somebody shouldve told Chuck that he only needed to disconnect the main supply from the mains to solve his problem

Why didn't he just turn off the main breaker in the fuse box?

For me, some parts of this is some good ASMR I listen to sometimes. Obviously not some parts like him hitting the electrical meter with a bat.

Chuck is such a well dressed, authoritative and intelligent man that it doesn't even register at first that this is a scene of a mentally ill man ripping his home to shreds because of an issue that exists solely in his head.

Turns out years ago slippin jimmy illegally ran the extension cord from Chucks neighbor, that’s why even broken meter didn’t help. Bravo vince

If his condition is all mental, then how did he detect that wire behind the wall? Checkmate.

I wonder if his allergy of electricity was actually about Jimmy. Note: Im in the beginning on S4

I don't get it. Why didn't he just stop paying his electric bill? I'm pretty sure PNM would have taken care of the matter. No need to destroy anything.
