I was like "wasn't he from season 2? There's no way that could be him, it's been 40 years" but nope, season 1. That's him all right.

Fundamentally, for me, the problem is that I don't come to the Matrix for squid robots and tunnels and shithole post-apocalypse cities. I come to the Matrix for the, y'know, matrix, and the really cool action sequences that derive from being able to edit the fundamental properties of the world. The first movie…

You should absolutely watch through the first season and maybe the Christmas special. Obviously the overall threat isn't resolved by then but I felt like I'd gotten enough of a conclusion to the individual storylines to be satisfied. I haven't gotten to watching season 2 yet but my understanding is that there is a…

The second movie is okay…not nearly as good as the first but there are a couple of great action scenes and you can probably fast-forward past the interminable rave scene. The third movie spends way too little time in the Matrix and introduces a bunch of really goofy nonsense. (Not that the second doesn't do some of…

It's a crucial part of conning Vince. It helps safeguard Eddie, sure, but they're setting things up so that Vince feels he has to bring Marius in to catch Mukherjee. How we go from there to a 500k payday, I guess we find out next episode. Probably.

Nope. Pete Murphy's record listed the gun range robbery, Marius' listed the bank robbery, same as they actually did. It's just a photo swap.

Of course, the season's already done and whatever Otto's plan is has already been revealed and resolved in whatever fashion, but for the record, I am guessing that Otto has some sort of life insurance policy that he wants paid out, while simultaneously relieving the family of his medical bills. (Though it seems like…

I had been under the impression that it had already gotten a second season but now you are telling me that that was actually the second half of season one. Good to know, I guess.

Presumably there were 30 minutes Jimmy wasn't on his phone.

I can agree that it would have been more fair to warn Jimmy the first time he saw him on a phone. Beyond that, when someone violates rules that have been clearly established ahead of time, I just don't see enforcing them as being an asshole. He didn't owe Jimmy special treatment, and if he had gone out of his way to…

I could buy that being a genuine mistake, the kind of day he was having, but I think you may be right.

I thought it would have been when he agreed to do community service as part of the pre-trial diversion deal. The form was, at least supposedly, just a liability waiver. I guess that could have been a lie but that guy seemed like he was just going through a routine that Jimmy insisted on messing with, not like he was…

I love the sequence of Pryce going through all those locks, and then being like "how did you get in here?!?" and then as Nacho leaves it turns out he just came in through the sliding door in the back.

According to him, Jimmy read and knew about the rule and agreed to it. So, yeah, it's a bit of a dick move, but one he should have seen coming. And community service is a punishment, after all.

Oh, he wanted the refund all right. But when it became clear he couldn't have it - and that Chuck's screwed his premiums, even - it was time for a little petty revenge.

I think it's maybe clarified a bit more in the Author's Preferred text because I definitely got the same impression of her character and their relationship that they're presenting in the show from the book, you just don't get any of it from her perspective or have as much backstory.

I kicked off with Mulholland Drive and then went back and enjoyed many of his other movies, although I just can't watch Eraserhead (I'm not into dialogue-free cinema at the best of times and that thing is just plain grotesque to boot) and I haven't seen a couple others like The Elephant Man and Fire Walk With Me.

They don't have to still employ him to have his name in the firm name, surely.

For the record, the show's concept of integration appears to happen when you voluntarily submit to the demon. If you're a demon worshipping cultist deliberately inhaling a demon that presumably happens immediately.

But for years he was not actually participating in the business of the firm. He was a hermit hiding in his specially prepared house. As an active participant, he's certainly an asset (or would be without his obsession with his brother), but he only starts consulting and coming in starting partway through season 1, and…
