To be fair, it wasn't a very big, or nice, office.

Kevin IS the producer, and presumably they've already booked the venue for the expected run of the show. Given the choice between never working again, and putting her play on and then never working again, Sloane may just decide to go ahead and put on her play. If it's good enough, who knows? "The Manny bails on…

Right on. Jack doesn't have to work 10-12 hour days. His wife doesn't have to be confined to the role of wife and mother for 16 years. She could work some and he could work less. Jack to me seems to be dissatisfied with having to work so much and wants to take it out on Rebecca, which is totally unfair. Yeah, he…

Heh, I like your style. However, I don't think we're supposed to like Toby, necessarily. I look at it like Kate is willing to accept this because she probably doesn't have much of a frame of reference for boundaries in a relationship, and is lacking self-esteem. She already blew up at him once for his totally…

It's Pittsburgh in the 1970s. Depending on the neighborhood you could get an apartment like that for a song.

Randall's tremors are likely a manifestation of him keeping everything inside. I think you're spot on, his wife feels like she can "call marriage" because he doesn't communicate with her about his professional struggles. He's headed towards a complete existential meltdown and doesn't want to talk to his wife or…

How many fucks does a guy need to tell the audience he's fat and likes bacon?

No way in hell is Cyrus a bottom, not even for a night. And he probably doesn't even have the decency to give a reach-around.

Seriously, why do all of the other characters talk so concernedly about Olivia when she isn't on-screen? That seemed particularly ridiculous that Mellie and Fitz in that moment would reconcile, even if briefly, to discuss whether Olivia was eating. I mean, what the shit is that?

Perhaps what Cyrus has is something they can't show us on network television.

I'm not buying Olivia Pope as a believable human being any more. Her presence has become grating, unnecessary, the worst part of the show except for her dad. I don't fault Kerry Washington, because these scenes are written to be overacted in exactly the manner she overacts them, but it's enough already. The writers…

I'm subjected to this show on account of my wife for some reason feels compelled to watch it. Is there any way this hasn't become the worst show on television? There isn't even a story any more, just a string of hackey, cliched back-stories and machinations that have no connection to any kind of plot, and don't…

Sorry to reply to something from 3 days ago, but I'm just getting around to reading through these comments, and something occurred to me in reading yours.

True, Chuck doesn't have to end the firm, but I suspect his "retirement" probably indicated he intended to ask for a buyout. It's the only thing that makes sense as far as creating the urgency necessitating Howard's spending an entire morning trying to get in touch with Jimmy.

HHM will almost certainly be sued for malpractice, and they will almost certainly settle the suit immediately. Mesa Verde will be made whole or pretty close to it in the process, I imagine. It's very likely Jimmy never spared Mesa Verde a thought when he hatched his scheme, but in this case unless the deal falls…

Agreed, but the person I was responding to originally seems to think Chuck's motivations are pure and should not be questioned, simply because there is a professional justification for his actions. Which is total bunk to anyone who has been paying attention. It's what makes this show great, nothing is simple,…

I get all of that, my point was directed towards the notion that somehow Chuck was simply being Chuck McGill, Ace Attorney, and acting solely out of some notion of responsibility to the profession and firm to do everything in his power to keep a client.

I don't think you are trying to understand what I'm saying. I didn't say Chuck did anything wrong, I said his actions are motivated by his desire to get back at Jimmy, not simply by a desire to "be a good lawyer." There is a difference between the two. Just because you are "doing the right thing" doesn't make you a…

I think knowing how badly Chuck wants to get Jimmy, and knowing that Chuck already knows what he did and is far too big a dick to just let it go, I think Jimmy would have to be suspicious of anything Chuck did inside the bounds of the law to get back at him. And while it's questionable ethically to fake-quit your job…

I wasn't drawing an equivalence. You keep bringing up Jimmy, not me. Chuck is absolutely trying to undermine Jimmy's success, or did you miss the whole first season? Chuck wants Jimmy to fail and leave the profession. He has made that clear over the last season+ of the show.
