Sure, we do. It's common knowledge in general, and became even more greatly popularized in THE SOPRANOS..

I disagree. He was abusive to Kim (e.g., banished her to doc review, took away her office), participated in trying to undermine her with backhanded praise after she left HHM, allowed Chuck to undermine Jimmy, and ate a piece of Jimmy's celebratory cake despite colluding in Chuck's campaign to undermine Jimmy.

Chuck was not Ernie's sole responsibility, so it's possible Chuck directed Howard to can Ernie.

As both Howard and Kim articulated in this BCS ep. (and Julia Roberts portraying the real-life Erin Brockovitch famously demonstrated in another case years earlier), the Sandpiper class action payout would likely have been significantly larger if the class had held out for more. Of course, holding out for too long…

That the denizens themselves don't write about their personal experiences doesn't detract from the validity of portrayals of same by keen social observers.

Irene's freezing out by her senior residence cronies reminded me of that of Paulie Gualtieri's "mom" in THE SOPRANOS (even though the latter's personality brought it on herself), and Irene's freezing out by her fellow mall walkers reminded me of that of "Red" by the other power walking Russian mob wives from…

Agreed. Glad you lived to tell the story.

Good call, yes, but an obvious one. When Kim reluctantly took on this additional client and then again when she emphasized the two-week timeframe, it became a foregone conclusion that sleep deprivation would be her downfall. Also emphasizing her lack of support resources was the contrast between her office space and…

Not necessarily. Maybe the two lushes met, married, and procreated.

True dat, but Lori's death majorly impacted the other characters - especially Rick and Coral, but not only them - and made the group pull together as a family to take care of Judith.

Sounds also like the language used by the prisoners (played by David Alan Grier and Damon Wayans) in "In Living Color".

Talking Dead is required viewing, for most episodes, if one wants to know exactly what went down and what characters were thinking. On Talking Dead, it was explained that the bullets that hit Travis came not only from the window but from the floor, as well. The bullet from the floor eviscerated him.

That's exactly the approach I expected Strand to take. Plus, no reason why they couldn't have told the newcomers the hotel group's MD had died.

No, IMO it's not. Not if you're the official reviewer for A.V. Club.

Ofelia's missing; remember, she abandoned Alycia & Co. at the hotel and then got nabbed at the border by Troy's dad. Luciana is Nick's injured girlfriend.

Also safety issues for the camera: on Talking Dead, Cliff said he hit the camera several times with the "cement" block.

I liked her in Sons of Anarchy.

Yep. Jesse should be a carpenter or cartoonist. His heroin junkie girlfriend should be an artist.

Gus, his highly motivating speeches, and his willingness to roll up his sleeves and pitch in (bus the tables, drink the poison) render him, in my view, the carbon copy of another criminal hiding in plain sight: deserter/ID thief Don Draper:
