Like this is exactly what bothered me:

I dont buy for a second that Chuck would not have sat down Jimmie a long time ago and said "look, this is a top law firm, you have a toy diploma. Im here for you, but you have a lot to prove before you get a seat at this table." There is no universe where Chuck doesnt have that conversation with Jimmie. And when I discussed it with a lawyer friend today, they said that had bothered them from the second Jimmie showed up with his diploma. By the time you get a law degree, even a borderline fake one, you know youre not going to be batting with the big boys, for all the reasons Chuck outlined in his lecture to Jimmie last night.

I get that for the purposes of dramatic narrative, that couldnt happen. But it took me out of the moment watching it play out, nerds.
