ESPN has employed Chris Berman for nearly 40 years. Don’t assume the high-paid executives know a thing.

Exactly. The age difference between Chuck and Jimmy, which is likely around 10 years, also explains why both men took very different lessons from their father. Chuck only had second-hand knowledge of the store, so he saw his father as a pillar of the community because of his ethics. Not so much for Jimmy.

Chuck also insisted on testifying. Howard tried to give him that out. He knew the case was solid without Chuck, but Chuck thought only HE could explain the situation adequately.

Remember, it's Chuck's memory telling you how sycophantic the parents were toward Jimmy. He's the definition of an unreliable narrator, as is Jimmy in his versions.

I saw it as a story of the child who was impacted by the father's "kindness." The guy who paid with a rare quarter clearly didn't care about collecting coins and it was only worth about $3. His father could have let Jimmy keep the coin as a gift, but he thought it was more important to wait for some random customer

I think casting Michael McKean as Chuck was a brilliant choice. He has a naturally sympathetic demeanor, so he brings out Chuck's wounds as much as his awfulness. He's acting out from childhood injuries, not just because he's a dick. Which makes him both more infuriating because it's hard to just hate him.

This is probably why Kim's my favorite character on the show. You can feel her intelligence and compassion and an inner life that isn't always sweetness and light.

This is why I loved the conversation between Paige and Kim. Sure, Kim knows that Chuck' behavior in court was because Jimmy altered the documents, but Paige's instincts about Chuck were right. He is someone who looks down on others and can't see how flawed he is so it's someone else's fault. Whether it's Jimmy or

If nothing else, Detox's insane make-up skill should impress. I still remember being stunned at how beautiful she looked in the Heroin ad and she can paint her face like a Renaissance painting.

I wasn't surprised that Adore bolted as soon as she got criticized. I recapped season six on another site, and I always thought she was too lazy to do well without Bianca giving her a huge assist.

Interestingly, I didn’t start appreciating Djokovic until Federer’s and Nadal’s utter lack of humor about his antics. I started finding them tiresome.

Or, you know, she eventually died from her wounds since there probably wasn't good emergency medicine in the New Mexico Territory back in the 19th century.

I took it more as making it more personal to Ethan. Saying "your mother" "your brother" "your sister" sounded like he wanted Ethan to suffer the pain as much as he did.

Yeah, all the exposition was worth it for that last scene in the chapel.

Lucifer isn't an actual character on the show. He's not written for. Caliban is and he's written in a way that's ridiculously entitled and not nearly as sympathetic as the writers believe. When he tries to strangle Maude the "semi-literate actress" he does so because she doesn't want him in her dressing room while

Semi-literate actress? I know she wasn't a regular, but she was also a person Caliban tried to kill. She rejected his advances and he lifted her up by her throat. I'd say that's a level of violent entitlement. Even if he didn't try it with Vanessa.

He already tried to kill Maude when she got all jealous and she asked him to leave her dressing room.

I assumed it was some vampire/Dracula voodoo that lured her in. The minion vampires stopped her long enough and Dracula did some kind of mind control.

I don't mind it being an obvious choice since they revealed it right away. They also made him look different enough to leave you guessing, maybe, for a week. It's not like the season-long not surprise that Ethan was a wolfman.

I originally saw him on Dexter where he played … a mild-mannered doctor named Rudy who started dating Debra. Only to reveal himself to be Dexter's long-lost, serial-killing brother, Brian.
