If your brother is an alcoholic and you have a choice between a., sending him to jail for a year but then when he gets out, he can drink all he wants, or b., keeping him from drinking, which choice is the more empathetic? Jimmy McGill without a law license is a harmless buffoon. Jimmy McGill with a law license is Saul…

In fairness, as someone who both loves and empathizes with Chuck, I think the game plan has always been, "Jimmy is a menace to society, but he will be able to do less harm to society without a law license than with one." And I think that's totally reasonable. Honestly, without a law license, I don't think he's ever…

*And* reading a book!

I'll see you "would watch him do any of these things" and raise you "do not even need a terrific payoff". Generally, "Mike action scenes where I don't understand what the hell Mike is doing" are low on my list of things I love about these shows, but man, tonight was beautiful. There was something…boyishly hopeful in…

I'm really hoping that "fire", in this context, means "send back to the mailroom at HHM where Ernie always wanted to be anyway". If Chuck has actually fired Ernie in an Ernie-does-not-have-a-job-anymore sense…well, I still think Saul is a monster and that Chuck is just doing what he can to stop him from sending anyone…

I could watch Gus negotiate with anyone, all day, but especially Mike.

"If this wasn't somebody on the AV Club' shit list of punching bags would we really find this offensive?"

I appreciate this read, and see where both you and Jay S. (in response to you) are coming from. I come from a family that's unusually prone to various genetic health conditions - we live short lives filled with illnesses and pain, and then we die. It's left us very pragmatic and unsentimental about death, yet at the…

"God gave you a brain"

A Trump supporter saying something insensitive? Well, I never!

I was just grieving in my own way: quoting The Simpsons.

Truly, the last half of her life might have been sad, but she wasn't complaining when her career got her this close to Chachi.

Gross.

A fair amount (we do get American TV up here). And by all means, I agree that everyone listed in the article is terrible in every which way. The problem is, they're all (except for Matt Lauer) terrible in the exact *same* way, making this feature too repetitive for my tastes. "I think this guy who spreads the same…

Moon…pie! What a time to be alive!

I've never heard of the guy, but…"Skip"? Hurts me to type that, too.

Look, I'm Canadian, which automatically means I'm more left-wing than pretty much any American, so my complaint here isn't ideological, but it annoys me that seven-eighths of this article is, "Name a conservative commentator and then talk about why being conservative sucks." Low-hanging fruit, much? Now, to go access…

In a perfect world, "Fuck you, I got mine" would be incompatible with being a living, breathing human being, but here we are. :(

You look like a man who needs help satisfying his wife!

Of all the weird things I randomly announce to the room at large as I go about my day, "My son is also named Bort" is definitely the one that is most confusing to non-Simpsons fans.
