It's a quick watch, and is neither terrible enough to be savagely reviewed, nor fantastic enough to watch during the winter, when we're in the midst of a quality TV season. It's the definition of a summer show.

The Chinese love American media because they have access to it (not through technical savvy, but through an unregulated piracy market). My Chinese students' reasons for liking Fox shows were exactly the same as my American brothers' reasons for liking Fox shows. I don't think cultures are nearly as different as you…

I vote Nog, the only child on a sci-fi show to ever be charismatic and 3-dimensional.

Yeah, but that contract is unbelievably dumb and short-sighted.

Is there really a huge social media backlash responding to ANYTHING about Yahoo! Screen?

Have you seen Hyperdrive? Because this trailer definitely made me think the writers of this show have seen Hyperdrive.

I'm annoyed with her for not being able to carry Dollhouse. Amy Acker could've done a great job if she'd been cast for Dushku's part. Sigh.

Oh, absolutely. Jimmy could have done lots of things if he'd taken that position, and it's absolutely his Grecian flaw that he has to live a life of excitement and minor danger. But I can easily understand not wanting to work for a big-money firm if you're someone like Jimmy (or, frankly, someone like me, who would…

Ah, there's a totally different reason for that. Jimmy CAN'T shop it to other firms without getting sued by HHM. He used their Lexis account to do research, he is using their partner for legal strategizing, he asked their associate to Shephardize. Though the show never addresses that issue, in real life he'd have a…

Todd's the best. Though I can't tell if it's just because Todd's acting is so much better in comparison to January Jones or not. It's a lot easier to look interesting when you're foil is Betty Draper, versus when it's Saul Goodman.

Yes, that was the POINT, but the point could have been driven home a lot faster and more efficiently. This episode was largely unnecessary, except for 3 or 4 absolutely key moments (the Marco moment where he talks about Chuck, Kim calling Jimmy, Jimmy's moment with Hamlin, Jimmy driving away from the job offer). I…

I think even Chuck can't afford to pay his grocery boy $150 an hour. Ernie isn't a young lawyer, he's a mailroom guy or an intern.

Yes! Jimmy's problem is that he really can't do the "hard work" in order to "build something" like Chuck keeps telling him to do. That's because: a) Jimmy now knows that the method Chuck told him about is complete horseshit; b) it's really boring and doesn't have the same adrenaline rush as a good con. It's just…

That's why Jimmy's friend was yelling, "Don't ever come back here or I'll beat you up, etc., etc.!" To make sure that guy didn't return, even once he found out he was swindled.

Yup, he'd definitely sell all the associates down the river if he had to, including Kim. But that's why Hamlin likes Jimmy—he sees him as a hard worker who could be good for HHM. He doesn't get why Chuck can't see the same thing.

I really disliked the montage and felt it was the only tone-deaf moment in the whole series so far. I almost turned off the episode. It was deliberately over the top, but that didn't work for me because the show is generally so grounded in reality.

@RedScarab:disqus Rape by fraud is, in fact, a thing. I don't think it applies to this episode, but it is a crime.

That is justified reliance on a material fact (that the person in her bed looked exactly like her husband, and was claiming to be her husband, is totally justified). Thus, that form of rape by fraud is both very specific and fairly different from what Jimmy did in this episode.

Quick legal eval of whether this was rape:

Even if they do class actions, that doesn't mean that HHM would agree to go to them for help. HHM seems to be an ivy-league firm in the desert, while the Pierce firm might be the local New Mexico attorneys. Possibly, HHM would rather go to a different town than partner with them.
