The problem with pitting Ellen against Patty is that Ellen is not Patty's equal on the legal playing field. Ellen is a year or two out of law school, and though the show has portrayed her as smart, it hasn't made her into some kind of legal wunderkind. UNR's attorney was more of a legal nemesis for Patty than Ellen could be.
Okay, after I typed that I realized it might be fun for Ellen to work under someone like UNR attorney against Patty. Then at the end of S3/beginning of S4 Ellen could go back to Patty's firm and finish what she started from the inside - ending Patty for good. Though for most of this season, I was rooting for Patty and not for Ellen.
I think Marcia Gay Harden was really underused, after a promising start. I hope she's back in S3.
I knew she looked familiar but never watched the credits so I didn't pick up on who it was. Yeah, she was really underused.
Ok, so the season opener for Rescue me was legitimately awesome, instead of that steamy shit I watch cause I'm a horny creature of habit.
Tommy Gavin de-jumped the shark, imo.
Yes! That rocked.
The ending? I had to watch it twice. Heartbreaking watching the firemen watch that poor bastard stuck in the building.
Best part is that not one second felt tacked-on or thrown in to shock. Which has to be a first since 2005.(I mean, I say it with love, but it's still true.)
Yeah, that was tight. Vast improvement over last season.
Totally. Not passing Wyatt/Elvis/ Plot Device around like a football probably helps, too.
Heh. I think I'd blocked that out.
Finally caught up with the Rescue Me premiere, and agree that the show may have unjumped the shark. I'm mildly concerned they are going for 22 episodes instead of 13, because I fear they won't be able to keep it up for that long without a break. We shall see.
I think I'd blocked that out.
I totally cannot remember what the football's final fate was. Also, at the funeral and the home movies - was that Anthony Michael Hall? Whoever he was, WHO is he? I can't remember him at ALL (the character, I mean).
