Which he proved by pushing over the $20. But respectfully.

This is a guy who for psychological reasons believes he is afflicted by electromagnetic waves. You are correct, his motivations are not wholly rational. But his intelligence has nothing to do with anything. he just is rationalizing what is essentially an emotional need to have Jimmy not succeed. They've been…

I just had a small insight. Slippin Jimmy just realized he's been the mark in one long con, a series of small hustles by his brother to swindle him out of opportunities to elevate.

Oh, well done!

Or, don't pull a gun unless you plan to shoot it. Also, shut the fuck up when you don't know the play. Also, maybe just four guns.

I think they were showing he was just someone getting over on being a man-mountain. A lot of times, huge guys like that are gentle and just let people's perceptions of them do the work. I think he didn't really have a gun and that's why Mike asked him which one of the guns he wanted. Not because Mike necessarily…

pre-illness Chuck stepped on Jimmy's dream of getting out of the mailroom before. I get the sense that he's been doing this for a long time.

ugh. I loved the monster of the week stuff and grew to eventually hate the mythology and how everything got tied into it. It bogged the series down and made the movie terrible.

I'd agree to some extent, because "go out of your way to leave us on this island where an unknown pathogen just wiped out a boat of people" doesn't seem like a convincing argument one could make to a boat captain.
But let's say they dialed irrational battshittery up to 10 when they started at 4. I should have known…

I've said it elsewhere but I'll say it here: Helix is the SyFy answer to American Horror Story (minus recasting the same actors in new roles.)
Each season starts out with a super-intriguing premise then strings you along for two or more episodes, spinning narrative harder and harder until at some point it wildly…

What I also noticed is that we didn't get to see Ramses' perspective in the warehouse flashback. I agree that Ramse probably isn't the Witness.

All I could think was how terribly this compares to Pryor & Wilder.
MILLENNIAL PRO-TIP:
Skip this and rent Stir Crazy instead.
The movie isn't a comedy classic but it's far funnier than this, even with some dated references.

Hey! …. His name is Heisenberg!

it'd be cynical but not extremely cynical. However, nothing indicated Jimmy planned that.

But it is what it is.

yeah, and disqus doesn't provide a way to unite them. My IGN is even more screwed up. For whatever reason, there's a third one there that I can't even use. Now, the weird thing is, both get my notifications.

I think the way they marketed this show is as something entirely different in that shared universe.

well, I think she sees the venal traits in Howard, but doesn't see anything else. He's an empty suit of smarm and ambition. She isn't fazed by those traits in a colleague, especially in her profession.

So you're saying because she appears to shrug off or at least be unbothered by the venal acts of her colleague/superior, she should be fine with getting romantically involved with Jimmy?
I'm having trouble with that so I hope I'm just missing how you're relating the two.

hey, you're the one saying put it on your permanent record. I thought I'd somehow misunderstood and you were declaring war.
