Well, I enjoyed Necessary Roughness last year and I hope it will be good this year too.

I don't like how they're playing the triangle on Fairly Legal. I think that the back and forth is so sudden it doesn't make any sense.

Yeah--and it's Kate that bothers me, not so much the guys--they both want her--she's intelligent, warm-hearted and totally gorgeous. But I didn't feel they handled the transition of her getting back into bed with her ex very well, and are also short-shrifting her torn loyalties.

It's definitely not the concept or the acting--it's the writing for me.

I'm pretty sure I'll finish S1 of Necessary Roughness today, so we'll see how I feel about S2.

I can see why people would be distracted by asking themselves whether this male character or that male character would realistically behave that way. In most movies and films, it is exactly the opposite; the women are used to tee up dramatic situations for the focal character, which is typically male. And the female character's actions might not ring true, because they are plot devices.

Wow, yeah. I love this insight.

Wow, yeah. I love this insight.

Seconded. Or thirded. That's something I doubt I'd ever have thought of.

Hec, you called it:

Damn, that was a rough one.

Yes it was. Am I a bad person for laughing when the Jaguar wouldn't start?

I was hoping that it would make him reconsider.

I hope that Megan is able to convince him that it wasn't his fault. She is the only other person who knows that Don fired him.

I felt so badly when Lane's wife bought the car. She finally does something for him, and all it did was drive him deeper into despair.

It is said that suicide is a hostile act, but it doesn't get any more hostile than the resignation letter.

Damn, that was a rough one.

Yeah. I was hoping they wouldn't show him...and then they did.

Am I a bad person for laughing when the Jaguar wouldn't start?

I inwardly chuckled, thinking that maybe it was the show's way of undercutting all the suicide speculation, like, ha ha, here it is, joke's over. When he went back to the office, I thought he was going to get Pete's shotgun.

I hope that Megan is able to convince him that it wasn't his fault. She is the only other person who knows that Don fired him.

That's two hangings he has on his head.

Thing is, when Bert Cooper has a minute, I think he will think the timing of Lane's suicide is odd given he asked Don about the check like 2 days before.

I think Cooper will probably get what the situation is.
