I understand the business just fine.

Those would be the con-man ethics he learned hustling greedy suckers on the streets of Cicero. Having watched his dad get conned out of thousands of dollars over the years due to his dad's trusting nature no doubt contributed to this ethic, however. Clearly Jimmy was disgusted both by his dad and the grifters that…

Chuck could have taken no action. He isn't obligated to do everything in his power to keep a client. Chuck has shut himself off from HHM for months, possibly years due to his "illness," so it's a stretch to say he's acting in the best interests of the firm in overcoming his illness to try to woo Mesa Verde back. …

As much as I love this show, I agree. The lack of any climax or resolution in an entire season of television is a little too cute for its own good.

I didn't love the finale. I will retroactively love it, if it turns out that Jimmy knew all along of Chuck's ruse, but the whole thing seemed far too obvious for an experienced con man like Jimmy to miss. Not when he knows the lengths to which Chuck will go to sabotage him.

Secret money isn't as bad as a secret lover, but it's pretty bad. It opens up the possibility for way too many trust issues.

Glad I'm not like crazy morbid and other people were thinking this as well.

Brits pronounce the L? What is it with you people and your wasteful use of language? Streamline, baby!

As someone who spent most of the year 2000 in various bars, I can tell you that people back then were still mostly paying for drinks with cash. A bar was probably the easiest place to break a hundo.

Up until the mid-80s, advertising on television was forbidden by pretty much all state bar associations, until someone sued and got that policy revoked. There is a cultural thing among attorneys that TV advertising is unseemly, something that hackey ambulance chasers engage in, and especially in the time frame of…

Oh no, I disagree completely. Chuck's leaps of deduction are very well set up by the narcissistic asshole that Chuck has been shown to be. He doesn't believe himself capable of such a mistake, to the point he snaps at his own client for suggesting he was wrong about the address. You know, the people who actually…

It was hackey until she totally whiffed the point about Jimmy's what's-his-name story. When she spoke up about the guy being English, it struck me that she's exactly the kind of ditz who would put on a beret and call herself an artist, conveniently leaving out the "makeup" part of her occupation.

Kim dressing down Chuck is the TV moment of the year. We're all pretty sure that she believes him, that she knows Chuck and Jimmy well enough to know that Chuck, for all his faults, is not capable of letting an error like that get by - and that Jimmy is all too capable of doctoring the documents to gaslight Chuck. …

I like Howard too. I get the feeling, particularly after this week, that Howard is awfully conflicted. His job is running a law firm, not being a lawyer. He spends most of his time talking to clients, sitting in on meetings, probably doing very little actual legal work beyond signing off on that of his underlings.

I think the writers invited this comparison by placing Chuck's house above a bowling alley, and below another bowling alley.

I'll take fish over burnt popcorn every day of the week. Ever have an office mate burn popcorn in the microwave so badly that the microwave puts out the smell of burnt popcorn every time someone uses it?

Agreed, with building up the book of business being the biggest deal. The bank client frankly seems too big to take to a solo or even 2 attorney firm; they need experienced M&A people and a whole host of other legal experts, so bringing them along to a W&M is just not a realistic move. A 4th year partner-track…

Jimmy's signing bonus probably would have, if she decided to go the law partner route. Maybe it still will.

That sounds way too high to me, especially considering he wasn't being poached from another firm. I'd put it at $20k, max, and even that seems high. I frankly found it a bit unbelievable Jimmy would have gotten a bonus at all, let alone 4th year associate pay.

Do we know if the titular inflatable was bought at Al Harrington's Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tubeman Emporium and Warehouse?
