I think she has that Benjamin Button condition. For that matter, so do Jimmy and Mike, since they all look younger six years later.

Ah, I remember when they invented writing.

To be fair, he does kinda look like a guy who would naturally get the nickname "Shit Brick."

I think it's pretty clear that Chuck's rationalizations about the sanctity of the law are bullshit once he's willing to screw over Kim. For my money, Chuck "broke the bond of brotherhood" a long time ago. That said, "screwing over your loved ones to get back at you" is on another level, and that's what Chuck did here—…

I am listening to hear where you fart…

Eh, I found this one disappointing. The plot twists seemed predictable (of course they would spend the money in the course of trying to deliver the money, of course the family wouldn't own the bowling alley anymore, of course everything worked out great for Alice), and parts of the plot didn't make sense (the bowling…

"Mmm, when I get up today I'm gonna search for any article with "Hillary Clinton" in it and then say a bunch of offensive stuff on it! Tee-hee! I'm a naughty little devil!"

"We Will Become Silhouettes" may have been released as a single in 2005, but the album it was on was released a full two years prior, in February 2003. It was not written after the invasion of Iraq— more likely after 9/11.

I totally agree with you, for the record. This episode blew me away. I didn't think Brooklyn Nine-Nine was capable of delivering real character stakes and pathos to this level.

No problem. For everything else about him, Jimmy's always seemed like a smart guy with particular tastes, and cocobolo wood fits that for me.

You can do that, but I'm not sure it'll help. The question comes down to— you think Jimmy doesn't know what cocobolo wood is, and I still don't know why you think that.

Well, that's fair. I just didn't see that in his reaction— or that is, in his reaction to Omar telling him he couldn't keep his bonus if he resigned.

All I'm trying to say is: I think Jimmy asked for a cocobolo desk because he wanted a cocobolo desk. Not because he wanted something else and got the name wrong.

LOL

"You see, my fedora blocks radio waves, which allows me to see the true subliminal messages encoded in feminist propaganda…"

Many a tragic figure in storytelling history has tried to have it both ways in similar fashion, often with devastating results when the same thing turns out to be true.

Oh, man, that would be an amazing dark turn to hit toward the end of Jimmy's transformation. "Well, Chuck, you get your wish: No more James McGill, Attorney at Law. And I get mine: No more Chuck McGill, either."

I'd say Walt does go for a lot of half measures, because he invariably tries to have two goals which are fundamentally incompatible. (Continuing to cook meth while keeping his family isolated from the business, for example. Or several times when he's refused to cut ties with Jesse even though he's become a liability.)…

Mike really bristled at that "better part of valor" phrase. It seemed to me like it really bothered him, and I'm not sure why.

We spent a week going through BB and all of us (5 guys( agreed) that although the cops killed Stacey husband, Mike's boy, like in Serpico he was set up so in fact he died in the line of duty.
