With that conversation, I thought of Walt’s vicious goodbye phone call to Skyler in the Ozymandias episode of BB. In trying to protect her, he felt he had to tear her down completely.

With their scheme to get the ruling reversed, Kim obviously hoped, on some level, to awaken some compassionate feelings in Jimmy towards Chuck. But instead, they provided an opening for his aggrieved feelings and hubris, and seems to have buried his better nature for the foreseeable future. I wonder if she will…

I’m wondering how long Kris Jenner is going to put up with Kanye’s shit. Eventually, she might come to the conclusion that his erratic behavior is going to hurt the family’s brand. And, at that point, she’ll have some guy come to Chicago and put a pillow over his head.

I think they’re both pretty damaged people at this point. Ariana’s probably got PTSD from Manchester. Then she broke up with Mac Miller, who OD’d himself, and she got blamed for it by internet assholes.

Thanks for oversimplifying things. In the early stages of his career, Kanye West mitigated his asshole tendencies with good, innovative tracks and a lyricism that reached for relevance, if it didn’t always succeed.

Poor Lindsay Graham. Having lost his Life Partner, John McCain, to cancer, he has gone casting around for the next alpha male to attach himself to. And like a lot of people in similar circumstances, he has made not a bad choice, but the worst choice, Donald Trump.

And when will shows like this realize that most of us are tired of the Standard Petulant Teen Character (i.e., Andy)? Yes, I realize that they are true to life, to a certain extent, but that doesn’t make them any easier to deal with.

Apparently, the Gifted is still shooting in Georgia. Witness that big peach logo in the end credits.

Is Coby Bell even on the show anymore? Although his name is still in the credits, he’s nowhere to be seen, in this episode or in the scenes from future shows.

Will these fucking media simpletons never learn, though? It’s like, if Trump goes a day and a half without shitting his pants, He’s “showing restraint,” he’s “turned a corner.” Then they take him out of the diaper, and there’s shit everywhere.

Much like the Norm McDonald hot take of last week, is there anyone who is surprised to hear that Real Man/Dollar Store Norman Mailer Sean Penn thinks #MeToo has gone too far?

Okay. This week’s Kim Theory: She goes out on a limb helping Jimmy get Huell off, and SHE ends up getting disbarred. Just as Jimmy is getting his law license back. Kim is crushed by this series of events, and leaves Jimmy, never to return.

Yeah, nice try. But the Racial Shooting Playbook is still in effect. The Dallas PD has searched Jean’s apartment, desperately trying to find something with which to smear him. They found a small quantity of weed, and some related paraphernalia. That information was released. But was Guyger’s apartment similarly searche…

I’m okay with Norm McDonald, and I find some of his stuff pretty funny. But did anyone doubt that this would be his point of view on these people/issues? He seems like he would be foursquare behind the idea that his comic friends should be excused for the acts they have done, or been excused of. Why? Because they’re…

I’m starting to wish Kim kept that psychologist’s card for herself. She is trying to rid herself of her guilt about Chuck’s death by ruining herself, personally and professionally. I really worry for her. I hoped a couple weeks ago, that she might manage to finally pull herself out of this wreckage and move finally to…

This vindictive prick continues his war against federal employees. Wasn’t it just a couple weeks ago he was trying to force a $92 million military circle-jerk parade on the District of Columbia? Hypocrisy, thy name is... Fuck him.

I think that’s the case entirely. I’ve worried that some horrible fate might befall Kim. But I wonder now if she might just be living her best life, representing Mesa Verde, and has left Jimmy because of how closed off he has become since Chuck died.

As for myself, I find it intriguing to see Gus maneuvering to replace nasty old Hector, while outwardly appearing to support him. But Nacho needs to see that he will be just collateral damage here.

As a comic fan, I am extremely familiar with shifting timelines. As conceived in 1961, Ben Grimm was a former WWII pilot, and the entire team was involved in the US/Russia space race. Now, the Fantastic Four’s origin is... Well, I don’t know what it is anymore. They’ve been gone for a while.

The show was just okay. But this last season, banished as it was to Vancouver, was especially frustrating and disjointed.
