I don't remember the details exactly of the Mesa Verde deal, but I got the impression that HHM thought it would be worth 200k+ per year in billing, which means that the most reasonable thing would be for Kim to have already hired a proper paralegal just for her end of things.

none of these old ladies were feeling the pain, from what we were shown, until Jimmy/Saul sowed the seeds of distrust and jealousy.

getting a better payout benefits everyone, not just the lawyers. the difference is whether the time it takes to get the payout is worth the greater benefit based on that timeline and the actual difference in the settlement. Would I wait an extra year for 2 million vs 1 million? probably. Would I wait 10 years?…

Well, Jimmy said something like 17.4 million as he muttered his math. The lawyers' share at 33% is 5.74 million, but that's likely divided between the two firms. Jimmy's 20% cut might be of the 5.74, which is 1.15 mil. That still leaves HHM with less than 3 mil that has to be used for the firm - all partners get…

Jimmy knows the vet. He brought the goldfish as cover when he went to see him.

Howard ended the retirement conversation with something like "it's not a suggestion". I've not been part of a firm, but my understanding of larger ones with multiple partners is that it is likely a meeting of the senior partners/board could force Chuck out with a vote of sorts, compelling retirement or removal from…

Yep, this was the first time that I watched Jimmy/Saul in action and truly disliked him. It reminds me of the sequence in Seinfeld, all the work George did to stay on unemployment. All that work and attention to detail to con out and manipulate people who were former clients that could have been spent on just…

how quickly will I watch season five? considering I barely made it through season 2, I've got time.

that's already been in Major's training sessions with the mercenary zombie force

I can be two things, but I'll go with funny more than misogynistic. Hiding places should be the last place someone will look into. I didn't even notice the label, or that the wife might not be a size two, just complaining about him. Of course, it's not a great place to hide things if police ever get a proper search…

Rachel has a secret, but it is probably along the lines of investigating the origin and existence of zombies for a paper or government agency with ultimately good intentions, so she can suspect Ravi, but eventually find out they're really on the same side. Shauna just seems up to no good and like a trap.

Oh, everyone is capable of a mediocre season if stretched too far, or if there's too much turnover in production and writing.
I agree with seant203 - I like 10-14 episodes per season. It feels like less of an obligation to one thing, lets me stretch multiple shows over the year, and the writers concentrate on a core…

Weckler was hanged though and his brain put on storage. If he was a zombie, he would've gone pale, and he would have survived being hung.

I didn't hit record. we need another take

Uhm, the dominatrix killer is not Peyton's client. She's the DA. She also now suspects he's not the killer, but there's no client relationship.

yes, but which half have the right to vote, and how can we program that out of them

well, that would depend on the terms of the contract, but I also thought that doing something to provoke a termination might mean a severance that she'd otherwise not get if she did the terminating

it's an old joke that never really gets old.

I'm sure they will determine, if they haven't already, that it was an unfunny attempt at provocation and 'artistic' rebellion, and not an actual threat, or an attempt to inspire others to emulate or mimic it for real

it's just another example on how the trumps won't measure up to the Obamas
