It is Delerium. Wonderful, but underused character.
Mind you, how on earth would you create a story-arc for her?

A prequel, describing what happened to Delight.

Yeah… she’s fantastic…
The comic surely hints at it, but never gets deep into it…

I think it aligns pretty well with my earlier prediction for what would be the best possible outcome (and one that is fully believable — we all knew there would be no happy endings).
He redeems himself by falling on his sword to try to save Kim — even though she was just as culpable as he was (if not more) in the schemes that led to Howard’s death. He also tries to get some kind of justice for the family of Gomez and Schrader by fully admitting his responsibility in their deaths. It was very much a mirror of Walter White admitting to Skyler in the BrBa finale that he didn’t do what he did for his family, but he did it because he liked it.
In the end he is shown as thriving in prison living out his days as a kind of folk hero among the inmates and finally able to simply be himself without shame. Maybe he’ll get out in 20 or 30 years, who knows?
I’m just saddened that it’s all over. I have a Lavandería Brillante super lab sized hole in my heart right now.

I had a slightly different take since Jimmy’s decision didn’t actually provide any direct benefit to Kim. At the end of the day she was still facing the same exposure to civil and/or criminal prosecution after Jimmy’s self-sabotaging court performance as she was before.
I think he was awed and inspired by Kim’s decision to come clean and accept full responsibility for her past sins, and he ultimately decided that if she could do it then maybe he could too. But he needed her presence in the courtroom in order to find the strength to do it.

That second paragraph; I concur.

I think one reason a lot of those angry fanboys are hating on the She-Hulk pilot so hard is that the revelation in the post-credits scene made Steve Rogers less relatable to their demographic.

I like that interpretation. Even though I do recall him saying something to the effect of Kim having nothing to do with any of what happened to Howard (which could be considered somewhat true, Lalo was Saul’s client after all and Howard was just an unwitting pawn in something completely unrelated to the smear campaign Kim and Jimmy were working on Howard). Maybe this was a last ditch effort to give her some deniability despite her already sworn confession.

I really enjoyed the She-Hulk part one. Lots of fun, and breaking the fourth wall to boot. (It served Deadpool well, so let’s have some more of that.)
Also, thanks to whoever pointed it out, ep. 11 of Sandman, just watched it and loved it.

I think She-Hulk did it before Deadpool in the comix.

Just got to attend a special screening of Doctor Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. A classic I’ve seen many times but never on the big screen before.
One bit of trivia I never knew before but is easy to catch if you know to look for it: when Major Kong says “Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff!” his lips don’t quite match up with the dialogue because the original line was “…a pretty good weekend in Dallas…” but they hastily dubbed over it because the movie came out just two months after the Kennedy assassination.
Another thing I only noticed on the big screen was just how many pies there were in the buffet in the background of the war room, which makes sense given the movie’s original ending (in which the bickering of the war room descends into a slapstick pie fight).
