I greatly enjoyed the ride, but thanks for your concern. The holes in the show are far clearer when you rewatch it and aren't quite so caught up in the emotion and intensity. And if I was going to sit there and nitpick TV shows to the people I was watching with, I wouldn't also come on the Internet and do so. That…

No, I really don't. Giving this show pathos made it a much better show. When its main focus was making tasteless jokes at the expense of nerds, immigrants, and the morbidly obese, it was pretty terrible. Now that it has become more character-driven, it's actually worth tuning into.

Well, it's not exactly uncharted territory for devout religious folks to deliver up steaming piles of hypocrisy, so stay tuned!

Well, if the president's wife can't get a plum committee assignment, what's the point of being president?

Eh. Ted Cruz is on the Judiciary Committee. So is Thom Tillis, and he was only elected to the Senate last year and doesn't even have a law degree. I guess Cruz isn't technically a freshman since this is his 2nd Congress, but Tillis is. So I don't think it's totally unbelievable, even if Mellie has no background…

Metallica's circa 1989.

I would, but I'm trapped under ice.

Ridin' the Cosby Express?

I want wintergreen!

Chuck it ouuuuuuuuut!
You're cheeeeeeckinnnnn innnnnnn!!!!!!!

You got the inflection wrong. It's more like "Ech." That's very important, what with the Judaism and all.

I think it works because Jimmy saw himself in Marco. Being a biglaw associate was merely Jimmy's version of working in standpipe maintenance. I don't think the ending was so much about greed, as it was about wasting your talents. The brilliance I hope to see from this show going forward (because it's done an…

I'll be interested to see the fallout of Jimmy skipping that meeting. We have no idea of any of it - how far Kim and Howard went to get Jimmy in there, how much the clients really want Jimmy around to sign on, or how serious Davis & Mayne is about wanting Jimmy vs. stringing him along until the case settles.

I think it's a combination of the first and third things you said. I don't think Jimmy lacks confidence in his ability; I think this episode was largely about him finally coming to terms with where his real talents and desires lay. I think part of that is gaining the self-awareness to recognize that being an…

And you work in biglaw for 7 years, don't make partner, and go solo then, possibly with a book of business to take with you.

Right, and for every filthy rich sole practitioner, there are thousands making an OK living at it, and thousands more who failed at it. I'm sorry, but the odds of getting rich in a solo law practice are incredibly low. Turning down a 6 figure starting salary, and a shot at partner to go solo is a really, really…

You're right about Jimmy's degree and all hurting his chances with any large firm. I think that makes it likely that Kim and Howard had to play hardball as you described to get Jimmy that offer. Most people aren't at the level Chuck is when it comes to snobbery, but that stuff does matter, both to managing partners…

Except Chuck's beef wasn't with Jimmy being at HHM, it was with Jimmy being a lawyer, period. Chuck wouldn't like seeing Jimmy at Davis & Mayne any more than he wanted to see him at HHM. "You're not a real lawyer" doesn't sound like something a person would say if he was OK with you working as a lawyer anywhere…

I think not wanting to do a job he'll hate (and hate himself for taking) is a very good reason for blowing off the meeting. Say what you will about Jimmy and his lawyering skills and work ethic - everything we've seen this season is a good indication that he's ill-suited for spending his career behind a desk pushing…

There's so much more money at Davis & Mayne, than there is at the Law Offices of Saul Goodman. If the point is to take the money when it's there for the taking, you go work at the large law firm. That's why there has to be more to it than that. The evidence is in the fact that Marco died with a smile on his face…
