Here's the thing I think I've figured out about Ryan Murphy productions—as long as there is a set story, with a pre-determined beginning, middle and end point, his shows are good (and, sometimes, exceptional).

Jared?

The problem with that argument is that it is easily contested—Jimmy wasn't upset about what the tape contained, he was upset that Chuck had made the recording at all. The fact that Chuck wanted to incriminate Jimmy with a tape of the things Jimmy had said for no purpose other than to bring Chuck some relief was enough…

But that threat doesn't confirm what he said on the tape.

I was listening for exactly that—anything Jimmy might say that could be understood as an admission of guilt. He said nothing like that. Everything he said pertained to his outrage over Chuck taping the conversation. He never acknowledged the veracity of or the content of the tape.

A $3 breakfast is a $3 breakfast, though.

No doubt…but the character and the actor was absolutely hated for all of season 1 and probably most of season 2 and 3. Like to the point that the comments almost always said he was ruining the show and they wanted him dead.

Speaking of ogling…Clive's semi in his sweatpants when he first meets Wally? DAYUM! He should always go commando!

Isn't that sort of kinda how Mad Cow disease came about?

Don't worry…little Miss Sparkplug will be dead before the time comes for Mac to leave the framework. Probably at May's hand…or maybe Aida/Ophelia's.

The show wouldn't hurt by having Brett stick around.

Fingers crossed.

When Hamlin asks what good the tape is and Chuck replies that he knows
one person who will be affected by it, he could be referring to Ernesto
and using it to set him up but I think he means Jimmy and how he will
react to keep the truth covered up.

Thing is, Chris Hardwick may be insufferable on AMC, but on Comedy Central (At Midnight), he's hilarious and awesome.

Ernesto is on Chuck's revenge list as well…remember, Ernesto lied for Jimmy and humiliated Chuck.

Don't fool yourself—Chuck set it up so that Ernesto would hear Jimmy on the tape. He wants Ernesto to tell Jimmy about it. Not sure why yet, but Chuck's revenge depends on Jimmy knowing about the tape.

I don't know if the character is gay or bisexual or simply curious, but I definitely picked up clues of an attraction towards Coy that Isaac seemed unwilling or unable to express or deal with. It became even more apparent with each episode I watched.

I think maybe if you were gay you might have seen some of the more subtle indicators and clues? Because I totally picked up on the DL gay vibe.

Exactly. Nothing to lose since she had already been told that she was being drummed out of the marines—they obviously didn't give a damn about her sacrifice or her service, so why should she obey any of Martens's (or anyone else's) orders? And she had over and over again demonstrated how devastated she was by the loss…

Dude, if I could post a screenshot here to show you, I would. But I can't…so if you don't want to believe me, I don't care. Although I'm amazed that a person can be so fucking stubborn and determined to hold onto a stupid theory about a fucking television show.
