Unless it's a pro bono for the publicity ?
Pay no attention to the waving hands.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm sure it'll be better explained next week but when the lady lawyer put the bag on the table and was all "J'accuse!" I was like, dude, it was the purse? Not her hiring your brazillian dollar law firm. No wonder y'all need all the techie stuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh. Shoulda TiVoed Justice. Totally meant to.

Project Runway: When Heidi asked Kayne where he was going in that outfit, he should have said, "Elton John's Rodeo." Because seriously.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Speaking of OJ-inspired TV, did anyone else here ever watch Science Court? It was a hilarious cartoon where science went on trial? Like 10 years ago?
Occasionally. Paula Poundstone, same tech as Dr. Katz and Home Movies.
I have to agree with the innie and outie on PR, even though there was a serious jackass-off b/w Jeffrey and Angela.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Kristen, HA! The other PR thing that made me laugh was that Laura said she was making something "different from what they've seen from her before." Um. OK, it was a more intricate construction, but it was totally her same sillhouette. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I am so glad someone else knows Science Court. I mentioned it at work yesterday, and my coworker just looked at me.
Re: Justice, my impression of that kind of media whore law firm is that they do take on the flashy cases pro bono and make their money with quieter cases.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
In future eps
I totally agree with what you said in white font. There's a lot of potential with the concept, but it could go one-note really easily.
Loving SpyDaddy - hope the show takes off so he can keep being snarky and cynical on my TV every week. And hopefully they'll give Eamonn Walker a bit more to do in future eps.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Okay, either Justice has been significantly recut from the godawful pilot I saw a few months ago, or else you all are smoking the good crack. My SpyDaddy love was not nearly strong enough to overcome the weird overlit hyperactive camerawork.

There was weird hyperactive camerawork, but I don't watch TV closely enough for that to necessarily bother me.

I noticed, but it didn't bother me any more than it does in other shows (the WONDERFALLS pilot being an example where I thought things were too damn busy, but enjoyed it anyway). I'd rather have weird and hyperactive than grainy/shakey.
