I don't think you can explain his handling of Chuck as simply acting in the best interest of the firm. The man may have been an incredible asset prior to his ailment, but you don't leave a top level partner position open for years simply on spec that you might someday get them back. You don't do them favors, spend

Her presence was an integral part of his play to provoke and unbalance Chuck on the witness stand, and further salt in the wound for her to be there when Chuck so humiliated himself. He may indeed have expected her to pick up the pieces afterwards but I don't think that was the main point.

Yeah, seems like the smart play.

Jimmy pretty deliberately destroyed Chuck in a very public way, and even if he didn't have a significant amount of responsibility for Chuck's state at that point, helping pick him back up would be a morally good thing to do. Turn the other cheek and all.

I can understand where she's coming from. I mean, she still clearly cares for Chuck despite the divorce (I wonder if we'll ever see why that happened), she's not wrong that it would be the right thing to do, and she understands full well that Jimmy lied to her and used her to his own gain. But by the same token,

He's a bit smug and supercilious but I think he genuinely values Chuck and insofar as he's been a dick to Jimmy it was pretty much all in service of his friendship with Chuck. And while he certainly treated Kim shabbily towards the end of her time with HHM, I do think he valued her up until what he saw as an

Yeah, I was assuming that, having had the psychosomatic nature of his condition very clearly demonstrated for him, that he was looking to try to overcome it, first by sheer force of will and then perhaps with medical help. Not entirely sure why the reviewer thinks he's doing it to reopen his vendetta against Jimmy but

Oh man. That was Krazy-8? It's been so long since season 1 that I completely didn't realize.

Canada is America. It's just not the United States.

I'm not sure I could possibly love this show more.

If you haven't watched Pushing Daisies and Hannibal, and you're digging that about this show (which you should be because holy shit), you owe it to yourself to do so post-haste.

I think that's heavily implied by the massive mold stain on the ceiling under the room where they're doing the exorcism that Angela, I mean, Regan notices early in this episode. Since the entire rest of the kitchen is spotless, it stands to reason that she wouldn't have allowed that sort of thing to develop.

I could swear Better Call Saul was originally pitched as a comedic spinoff. But even if I'm making that up, I've definitely been surprised to see just how amazing a drama it's ended up.

Not just a restaurant, the Forgettable Diner. Which was great.

We haven't seen him in the show's current day, so they may age him some when he turns up for that.

God, this show is gorgeous. And the casting…I mean, I knew going in that it was spot on in all the most important bits (Ian McShane, in particular…just perfect), but that was just the big roles they'd revealed. The fact that it's this good across the board is crazy.

I am not sure Lucifer is the most promising example. I gather it's gotten fairly watchable but I think as an adaptation of the comic it leaves a great deal to be desired.

I've been nervous about this show for some time now. Everything seemed to be coming up incredibly promisingly, just incredibly good casting choices, the inspired tap of Bryan Fuller as showrunner, but it's always hard to tell exactly how that's all going to come together, and some of the promotional stills seemed a

Shadow's basically in shock for most of the book, so he doesn't really react to a lot of things that should be super weird and freaky for him.

I sure hope he's right. Which is something I have never said about Sean Hannity before.
