Yeah, it's like the attorney didn't know the answer to the question - it's not so much that it wouldn't work - it just seems unlikely that a good defense attorney would let that slip by. Particularly since there was probably some ruling that said that the evidence wasn't allowed.

No probably about it. however, if the defense asks a question, the witness is allowed to answer it. In this case, he just got caught up and asked the wrong question.

An interview with JK Simmons.

The Closer: I think that the wife of the guy on trial did it, but I don't want Brenda to be wrong.

Well, given that they have found "Topper" I'm not sure that Brenda being wrong can be helped.

Damages: the young attorney is so generic that when she was meeting with Greg I didn't recognize her until he ID'd her as "Kay's lawyer friend." This seems not good. Meanwhile, I'm trying to guess who the brunette from the hospital is working for. I'd love it to be Patty but I've long since lost any sense of what her motivation could be except to frack with that relationship.

okay, I'm catching up on Damages, and I'm watching last week. Do the lawyers in the group agree that Tom would have a conflict of interest and could not take this case?

If you don't watch the show, the basic issue is that Tom was second chair on the big case. Patty (the boss) pretended to fire him to gain the confidence of someone else. He really continued to work for her. He quit to take an offer from another firm.

Shortly after he really did quit, the plaintiffs fired Patty and hired Tom as their new counsel. I think that it's a conflict of interest. What does anyone else think?

sumi, since we haven't seen Topper yet, I'm not completely convinced that it isn't some kind of scam. I didn't realize it was going to be a two part finale or I would have saved the episode until next week. I want to know everything now.

They repeated it tonight. I bet they repeat it at some other point too. (Plus, it's available On Demand.)

Which reminds me: I watched Saving Grace On Demand and I had no idea that she (Grace) had at least one Native American grandparent. But I loved the horsies. And I suppose that we're supposed to think that the Bailey Chase character is better for her . . . but I don't know. Also, the guy who plays her partner/married lover also played Lilian Rush's motorcycler bf on Cold Case. Who knew that playing the bf of a female cop could be a career?

Grace's family just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I didn't realize she had even more siblings until this week's episode. Maybe it was said in an earlier episode and I missed it.

I think it was mentioned. Two sisters and a bunch of brothers.
