Most of us writers, not so much about the math.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I agree, le nubian. One of the best of the last few seasons, I thought.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What was the crime again?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
well, the show involved at least one murder, a class action lawsuit around a plane crash.

Huh. I recorded that. I must have watched it, but don't remember. More details?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The ADA and the class action suit lawyer have a conflict.
this is a pretty memorable ep - you sure you watched it?

I may have to chalk it up to an Ambien loss.

Art Crawl!!!
It was excellent and, I believe, brought up an earlier case from the show.
Also, may have been repeated on Saturday night.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Did anyone else watch Lie To Me?
I only watched with half attention, had to get some cooking and some laundry done in prep for tomorrow, but it seemed interesting. A little more narrow gimmick than The Mentalist, I don't know if that will turn out to be a strength or a weakness. Just like The Mentalist, though, I think the more interesting stories would revolve around what happens when their conclusions turn out to be wrong. Infallibility is boring.

I watched. I enjoyed it enough that I've added it to my season pass for now. I think it could become very johnny-one-note quickly, but I think they also put in enough interaction between the team members to make that a decent portion of the show, too.
