'At least we're better than [insert name of some really, truly shitty religious sect]' is a a pretty limp boast.

Disciplinary councils - I'm sure that's what the person meant by "courts". You know, when you get dragged before the stake president, his two counselors and the entire stake high council.

I think there's more to it than that. Jimmy's heart may basically be good but he always wants to take the shortcut, and he's often blind to the way his shortcuts hurt other people.

Kim's flawed, just like every other character on the show. And her flaws are tied closely to what makes her so relatable: she's driven to succeed the right way, but her drive blinds her to her limits. If she really had pulled an all nighter she had no business driving. Why not ask Francesca? Kim's probably the most

I would say little. There's a high bar for malpractice claims - basically the lawyers have to be negligent or breach a contract, and the client has to prove damages that have resulted directly from that. A firm like HHM would have a lot of safeguards in place to make sure they don't trip this standard. The bigger

I think they're going after her more to clear the way to completely take over Emmit's business. Ray and Nikki have been throwing a monkey wrench into this plan from the beginning. At first they were just a force of chaos, but they've morphed into outright enemies.

Louise has grown a lot as a character - perhaps more than any other on the show - but it's pretty sweet on occasions like that to simply have the old Louise. (I'm not surprised that she's a great shot, are you?)

That scene tore me up. I kept wanting them to actually put their hearts into it and repeat their scam from an earlier season, but you could see it wasn't happening. They were going through the motions of something they used to love doing, neither quite able to admit that the joy was gone. The Jimmie/Kim team is

Great info, thanks.

OK fair enough, but am I imaging that he isn't around nearly as much as he was earlier in the series' run?

Yeah, it was nice to see Bob kinda win for once.

Agreed that Bob and Teddy are always a hoot, but why has Mort the mortician seemed to drop out of the series completely? I liked Bob having two regulars in the restaurant and it was nice sometimes having another normal one around even if he never delivered the laughs Teddy did.

If a reality TV show contestant falls and there's nobody there to hear it, do they make a sound?

I lived in HK for a while. Despite his goofy and affable image in the West, Chan has in recent years revealed himself to be a nationalistic, authoritarian, anti-Western, anti-democratic, Communist Party lackey. A quote from 2009:

No, he doesn't. Chan gave up on not trying to suck a long time ago. Now he just cashes checks from whomever will pay him the most. Which is always some Chinese Communist Party-affiliated studio that's convinced that all China's international image needs is a CGI-heavy blockbuster that tells their side of things,

This episode would've been worth watching for Odenkirk's Harry Caray impersonation alone.

You scarcely needed to know much history to see that Imitation Game was just BS stacked high. Like that whole oh so dramatic scene where one of the codebreakers finds out that his brother is in a convoys that is about to get attacked. Or the way that every time they were about to get shut down they'd get a huge

"And besides, could tens of millions of Americans be wrong?"

A small quibble, but Dead Man's Curve does not feature two Jags, it's a Jaguar XKE racing against a Corvette Stingray.

Did you never have a childhood? You can take time to affectionately remember the craft that went into even old, inferior technology, and still recognize the new technology as superior. Kind of like people who collect antique cars or clocks.
