  1. You could always opt for Clase Azul Ultra, but a fifth is more than a house payment. https://www.claseazul.com/clase-azul-ultra
  2. So he'll waste every opportunity that he had, alienate everyone close to him, wind up in isolation, will spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder, but hey. At least he doesn't hit all the clinical criteria in the DSM-V. <wink>
  3. Maybe psychopath is more apt for Jimmy. Superficial charm and glibness Inflated sense of self-worth Constant need for stimulation Lying pathologically Conning others; being manipulative Lack of remorse or guilt Shallow emotions Callousness; lack of empathy Using others (a parasitic lifestyle) Poor control over behavior Behavioral problems early in life Being impulsive Being irresponsible Blaming others and refusing to accept responsibility Delinquency when young Criminal acts in several realms (criminal versatility)
  4. Of *any* kind? I'd offer that he's one in the making. On a tangent to that, I'm really taken by the reminder of the constant jeopardy that he's in at the top of the episode. He got where he is, losing his practice and managing a Cinnabon in Omaha, through a series of decisions that led to that outcome. (I also note that "Gene" is not in Nebraska by accident. That's Kim's home stomping grounds.)
  5. The dinner with Jimmy & Rebecca sheds at least a little insight on that. If he had his way, Rebecca wouldn't have been allowed to form her own opinion of Jimmy, and he was stage-managing everything ("I'll give you the Carol Burnett signal") as he had convinced himself already how the night was going to go rather than letting things play out. Instead, she's charmed by him and ends up cracking lawyer jokes at Chuck after Jimmy left.
  6. Yet the noble Chuck McGill can't bring himself to tell Jimmy that their mother's dying words were for Jimmy. He took that to his grave, effectively destroying himself in his efforts to destroy his brother. Tragic, yes. But whatever sympathies I find for Chuck are tempered by having insights into his temperament and motivations. He's passive aggressive, self-centered, and not particularly self-aware. Of course, it doesn't help that his brother's a high-functioning sociopath... that'd probably drive anybody crazy after a while. I don't know that we'll ever find out more details about the stalemate between Howard and Chuck, but there are certainly elements of extortion ("give me my way or I'll bankrupt the firm that you and your father built") in their relationship. I wouldn't attribute that sort of behavior to a nice guy.
  7. Neither can Chuck. He's a Jedi master in manipulation and passive-aggression. Maybe Jimmy has earned some grief for running his scams, but Charles Lindbergh McGill is just a more respectable con artist than his brother is. Chuck was going to "let justice be done though the heavens fall," even if he had to engineer the circumstances for that to happen.
  8. Jimmy bought a bottle as a celebration for the settlement / payout after he ran that long con involving Irene and her friends at Sandpiper. Zafiro Anejo was also the brand that "Giselle" and "Viktor" scammed the investment guy into buying at $50 a shot.
