Absolutely, this is possible. But there's also the question of why Davis and Main wouldn't have presented the settlement terms to the residents, rather than merely Irene (who is obviously very easy to manipulate). If it's really a "no brainer" decision to hold out for more, why hide the details from the other class…

I absolutely agree. Manipulating the elderly is obviously bad, though it's also suspicious that the lawyers aren't presenting the settlement offer to all the women in the suit. It could literally be like what Jimmy presented: the law firm will get thousands of billable hours from continuing litigation, while the…

I wondered that too, because it would have actually clarified the whole thing and likely led Irene to talk the same action in trying to push the settlement, without pushing her to tears. About the only bad thing that could come out against Jimmy was the fact that he gave her the shoes yet didn't reveal that when…

Yeah, I'll bet that Jimmy even helps to "patch it up" between them. From his perspective, he couldn't give anyone direct legal advice and thus couldn't even directly advise the old women to talk to Irene about settling. But let's also realize that if ANY of the old ladies actually bothered to talk to each other, Irene…

I give up posting here. I have a Disqus account and have successfully posted here before. But now for the third time I've taken the time to write a longer post, which is displayed long enough even to receive an upvote or two, and then it just disappears. I don't know whether they're trying to discourage people who…

I think Ms. Dawn is just pointing out the hypocrisy of the "hate watchers," who for some reason seem drawn to watch each week just to complain about it. I agree that a healthier attitude is to admit that if you're watching the show, you're probably actually drawn to it for some reason. You may say you hate the show,…

I basically agree. The fundamental premise of this show is a crazy soap opera full of schizophrenic psychopaths as most of the main characters. Be prepared for shifting alliances on a whim, random characters bedding (or torturing or killing) one another every week, etc. Anyone who's complaining about that stuff…

"Villain" is ambiguous. There are various types of bad. In the traditional RPG alignment system, for example, there's lawful evil (guys who live by a "code" even if they murder people), chaotic evil (see Tuco), or some more neutral form of evil. The Breaking Bad universe has a lot of actual evil dudes.

As I've written above, we've seen plenty of Chuck without Jimmy too. And my perspective on Chuck — even without considering how he treats Jimmy — is that Chuck is a complete jerk. The "narrative" is clear on that, even without Jimmy's POV.

Nope, but Chuck *was* the one who treated his brother like crap after he worked his butt off in the mailroom for years while educating himself, getting a law degree, etc. in quite possible Jimmy's ONLY extended period of being "clean" and stopping the scamming. Jimmy was legitimately trying to be… well, legitimate,…

I agree that Chuck isn't the only "bad guy," but he sure is the WORSE guy. I was willing to give Chuck some leeway in the early seasons when he mostly was a jerk to Jimmy. His "pain" and lashing out at a brother who gets himself into all sorts of mischief made a lot of sense.

So, would you really want to watch a show consisting of years of Fitz drunk and on a bad talk show, with Olivia avoiding commitment even in her own marriage? Because that's what was happening during all the "a year later" titles in this episode. There surely a lot to criticize about the paths Scandal has taken, but…

Well, she didn't join the White House in the real timeline, but she was widely recognized as the force that won a presidential election. We've never seen a lot of what Olivia was like before she joined the Fitz campaign (other than that she was dating some men in DC), but it seems likely her reputation might have…

To be fair, Cyrus married a woman before, as did many men of his generation (particularly among Conservatives — remember that Cyrus is a Republican). Previous episodes show Cyrus was very hesitant to come out, even after his relationship with James was far along. Also, given how the episode plays out and the…

"Why didn't Cy come out anyway"?

"Graphic" or even "gross" I guess I understand; usually when our main characters go hacking away at a corpse, we see a pleasant quick montage with music or whatever, so we don't need to contemplate extended views on what they're actually doing.

Abby's not a real person, so no one needs to "apologize" to her. People could comment on "Gee, I really got played by that plot twist with Abby," but that was the point of the plot twist, so it's not like it's likely to lead to an interesting discussion. People comment on the information available.

THIS is where you draw the line for "dehumanizing"? This is a show that has multiple trained killers as lead characters (and multiple ones who seem to "get off" on torturing other *living* people, sometimes each other). This is a show where said characters chat gleefully about sawing up/chopping up/"folding"…

I know this is putting way too much logic onto this, but the whole "bullet coverup" is made even more ridiculous by the fact that there is of course oodles of basic forensic evidence that wouldn't make sense. Or are we supposed to believe that a trained investigator couldn't tell the difference between bullet…

Yeah, except in this show, the pope is dressed more "popey" than any pope in the past 50 years. In just about every scene where he's not wearing the standard white everyday stuff or his tracksuit, he's dressed in some over-the-top thing that has some detail in vestments which has probably been defunct for…
