“We can get through anything if we have people to lean on,” Paul says. It’s at least the second time this season that his words have summed up one of the central ideas of this show — first was “fucked-up people are good at helping fucked-up people,” and now he’s getting at a broader idea about how humans rely on one another’s support to survive.
Maybe that’s a pretty basic idea, but like Jimmy’s speech at Brian’s wedding near the end of season one, it rings true from everything we’ve seen.
