It's a real store in that mall too.

And we learned that Chuck tutored Howard Hamlin to pass the bar…but Jimmy did it on his own, and got no help from Chuck at all when he was starting out as a lawyer.

I hear you. I'm sure the writers had no idea that it doesn't actually have current. I'm just trying to rationalize it since I love the show.

That's true, but I doubt anyone at the bar hearing (lawyers vs. engineers) would be expected to know that it doesn't produce current. And after the hearing, the major issue is Chuck's explosion and admission that he hated Jimmy—and not the battery so it could just be forgotten. The only person who might still care is…

Because it's completely irrelevant to Chuck's condition whether it actually produces a current. What matters is whether Chuck perceives a charged battery to cause him pain, and we know he does because he says so. He has also, throughout his condition, forced people to leave their cell phones outside rather than than…

That makes sense. I kept thinking it was felt far too produced and slick to be a stand-up special, although still pretty funny.

His clients will barely remember what he said about an hour later.

He knows all of them through Francesca, who he got to know by working together at the pasta shop.

I think a lot of the holdovers from season 1 aren't very good actors and it shows. But most of the new additions for season 2 are much better, even in bit parts like the actress who played Priya.

He just got her number when the phone got stolen. Backups to the cloud usually only happen at night, so the cloud wouldn't have her number saved yet.

There's absolutely nothing to say that's a new or recent copy of the Financial Times. My grandfather has plenty of old newspapers lying around in his house for example.

I don't think so. Lawyers have an affirmative duty to report an offense only if they have actual knowledge that the offense took place. A suspicion that an offense took place isn't enough to trigger the reporting obligation. Ironically, Chuck could argue that he wasn't sure if Jimmy was just trying to calm him down or…

Los Altos to San Francisco is actually only about 30-40 minutes by car without traffic and until recently most people in the Bay Area commuted by car. It's also not nearly that long by public transit because you would most likely drive and park at a Caltrain station before taking the train, so it would probably be…
