They needed paper because there's no way to access PDFs or print out cases at Chuck's house.

Which goes to my edited point. This is a mighty big fish to fry, far too big for the newly minted McGill & McGill, even with Chuck's legal genius and Jimmy's can-do attitude. I think Chuck legitimately believes there is a multi-million dollar case here, one that will require a very well-funded army just to get…

I'm wondering if Chuck didn't do that intentionally. Seems an awfully big blunder on his part. He has to know that if HHM raises a stink, which after he spoke the words "20 million" he knows they will, the Westlaw charges to an HHM account by him - a current partner - makes it pretty much impossible for him to keep…

Westlaw is probably so pissed they didn't call it Keycite or whatever, but the writers were right. Everyone calls it shepardizing regardless of whether it's Lexis or Westlaw.

Eh, these are kind of silly complaints.

She was off partner track and probably out of HHM in 2 years if it weren't for Jimmy. He literally saved her career. A few late night hours on Westlaw isn't too much to ask.

Considering the cold open of the series was Jimmy working at a Cinnabon using the name Gene, spending his evenings drinking whiskey and watching tapes of his old TV commercials, everyone knows it's not going to end well for Jimmy. I think that adds to it - how does a conflicted, prone-to-scamming and yet hardworking…

This was awesome. Somewhat ho-hum (by this show's standards) for the first 2/3rds or so, but Chuck looking very pained and then blurting out "$20 million!" was simply awesome. I also totally bought that Chuck could be so focused as to forget his condition - and the obvious ramifications will be fun to see play out.

My guess is that Sandpiper was sloppy and didn't provide for the possibility they might get caught bilking their residents. My guess is that the standard is that interstate commerce has to be used for the racketeering in order for it to qualify under RICO.

Unless she was directed not to do that. Defending someone accused of embezzling taxpayer dollars looks scuzzy to most people. Defending an obviously guilty embezzler at trial and losing makes you look really, really bad. Taking the case to trial would have cost HHM 100 times in lost business and prestige what it…

"Fly" is indeed a terrible episode. It covers ground already sufficiently covered, it presents an introspective Walt that doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know, it re-uses the insipid "drugged Walt reveals something damning!" plot device, although Jesse doesn't realize what he's saying, and the tension…

Looking over the episode lists, season 7 is clearly the show's pinnacle. Watching these over the past few months has, surprisingly, led me to conclude that seasons 4-6 had a fairly high miss rate. Season 7 not only has the best episode ever (referenced by my name), it has the best lines in the show's history, and…

The fact that they gave Mike his own full episode only 6 episodes deep in S1 makes me think that the spinoff is going to be almost as much about Mike as it is about Saul.

It's part of his job to know. That question is probably cabbie code for "I'm about to ask you something questionable. Is that OK?" I'm sure by knowing where, say, people can get bullets taken out and be stitched up without the cops finding out, or where you can score some vicodin for the low low price of $25/pill…

I'm guessing the cabbie knows the vet specifically because the vet pushes painkillers. Whether their relationship is personal or professional is up to the viewer to decide.

Yes. Yes it does.

We have dispensers in men's rooms too, that are always broken, empty, and covered in graffiti. I had the same reaction at first, but then realized that the station looked brand new - so it was either newly built or very recently refurbished. That would explain why the dispenser looked new, worked, and was stocked…

Donna kind of got this one right. Not the grade, it's clearly an A episode and the best of the series so far. But that it's cliched. It's a story that's probably been told on our TV screens dozens of times. We know all the beats, we know all the characters, and we'd pretty much figured out 5 minutes in what the…

The more I think about it, the more disappointed I am by the scene with Rickey the Secessionist. I'm beginning to think it was nothing more than a snide jab at people like the Koch brothers, who are fabulously wealthy but still somehow believe that they are being held down by the man, and even worse, manage to…

Billing 2200 hours usually requires a hell of a lot more than 2200 hours worth of work.
