YOU THINK THIS IS BAD? THIS- THIS CHICANERY?
HE DEFECATED THROUGH A SUNROOF!
AND HE GETS TO BE A LAWYER? WHAT A SICK JOKE!
Even if this episode wasn't a fantastic one, it would certainly be memorable JUST for the memes it's provided. Though the memes really haven't extended past the BCS fandom, but nonetheless... Just call it Chuckposting.
There's a reason that speech is so quoted, though- it's delivered so well! And the camerawork is so good, man... you hardly even notice the slow zoom until the camera is right up against Chuck's face, demonstrating just how absorbed he is in his own world, how obsessed this feud with Jimmy has made him. You love the law so much, Chuck? Why don't you marry it?
(Speaking of Chuck & marriage, I still don't understand why Jimmy invited Rebecca to the hearing. My first thought was to humiliate him, but I don't think Kim would have been on board if that was the reason.)
Also, hey, this episode had no interference from Mike's storyline whatsoever! I must say I'm happy about that.
Ever notice how the fifth episode of each season opens with a flashback (or, in season 5's case, a flashforward)? And every premiere opens with a flashforward, and every finale opens with a flashback.
