On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Is it Harvey - the attorney? Or Lewis? I think that Lewis (if that's the kid who didn't go to law school's name.) I thought his superpower was memory.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Anyone watched Necessary Roughness? That actress hasn't traditionally played characters I like, but I like this one, and am casually interested in seeing how it turns out. And Blucas is looking fine.

Because books.

Was she the one on Rescue Me for a long time?

Yes.

And it is v. nice to see her playing somebody not so emotionally strung out.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Harvey is the attorney, Lewis is the other attorney that took the kid to play tennis, etc. I don't know the name of the kid who didn't go to law school. I thought his superpower was memory, too, and I guess he did sort of use it in chatting with Fantasy Football guy. Maybe that wasn't really my problem with the episode. I definitely had a problem with it, though I can't put my finger on exactly what it was.

They're doing a riff on an eidetic memory, which is that he remembers everything he reads or sees. So, he knows the law, he just doesn't know how to interpret/apply it.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

I decided to give Necessary Roughness a shot because 1) I found out Marc Blucas was in it and 2) it got good ratings (I'm tired of watching a pilot then finding out it did horrible and will most likely be cancelled).

Why the heck did they call it Necessary Roughness? The show didn't even register with me because I thought it was related to the movie with the same title.

Eggs! Max Medina!

I liked it and set up a season pass for it.

Wait, it's not?

Although that is a football term, I think, and not just associated with the movie. But I thought the same thing.

Compassionately intolerant

I liked N.R. too. Of course, my teeth were a bit clenched based on years of truly appalling representations of therapy in the media. (Sweets, I love you, man)

I enjoyed it and found Mark Blucas attractive in a way I never have. I also like the lead a lot...memfaulting her name...based on her performances in Rescue Me.

I'll watch.

Always Anti-fascist!

Callie Thorne. I never really thought of her as someone who could carry a project. I guess it would be good to be wrong.
