"Because he's my butler!"

This show always makes me think of the quote from the intro to Vonnegut's Mother Night (1961):

And Kim nailed Jimmy, and Nacho nailed Mike.

The Sopranos (S1-8), Fargo (S1-2), and True Detective (S1) for sure, but Mr. Robot (S1) is another one that does a lot with a little by taking a page from the Kubrick/Alcott school of the perfectly composed static shot. The cinematography on Vinyl (S1) is excellent and suitably Scorceseesque, and Sherlock (S1-3) and…

I'm not saying it's actionable or would end up in court, just that they are intentionally misrepresenting Chuck's health, which could conceivably come into play if the firm is sued for legal malpractice.

Chuck and Howard did perpetrate fraud by misrepresenting Chuck as someone who is still healthy and fully competent, which is HHM's Big Lie.

Putting aside character motivations for a moment, what Jimmy did to Chuck, is abusive and wrong, pure and simple.

Ah, good point. The show is currently set in 2002, when electronic filing was commonplace, but before ESI (and e-discovery) became the norm. Regardless, Chuck would certainly be using a typewriter, exclusively, for his work. So, yeah, Jimmy could have been altering the master docs. It's still pretty reckless,…

Hm, yes, you are probably right that there's a part two to this nefarious plan. It's a nicely literal auditory pun that we hear the sound of Chuck's gas lighting while Jimmy slips in the doctored docs.

Exactly, it's an ego thing.

I thought so, too. Jimmy's latest felony could easily be discovered if matched against original or corresponding records. Then, Chuck would probably only need five to ten minutes to figure it out the who, what, where, when, why and how.

Planet of the Recycled Wardrobes

The kids in Togetherness can get together with the kids in Vinyl for a support group for TV Kids whose TV Parents completely ignored them, save for a scene or two.

Or Colony, Dark Skies, Defiance, Earth: Final Conflict, The Event, Extant, Falling Skies, First Wave, The Invaders, Invasion, Roswell, Threshold, Under The Dome, Whispers, or The X-Files

The concept of They Live would make for a great TV series.

I would love it if David Cronenberg made a very true-to-the-comic adaptation of Like A Velvet Glove Cast In Iron, starring Mark Duplass.

Peet's been the biggest surprise for me here.
