But he’s too proud to have it given to him. There’s strength in seizing it from him by robbing his house or raiding his safe deposit box or scoring $100,000 by blackmailing him with a phony sex tape. He cannot accept the stamp from his brother as a gift because he feels entitled to it. His death in this week’s episode is treated like a sad inevitability, as the inept schemes and crippling pettiness of a not-so-clever man lead to another needless fatality and open the door to still more. There was never going to be anything he could do to eradicate this part of himself and certainly nothing his brother Emmit could do, either, to validate or appease him. Before he ever opened his mouth, before we ever learned anything about him, this was a fact that we understood immediately, like catching a sharp whiff of cheap cologne. Season 3, Episode 6: ‘The Lord of No Mercy’
