What was the crime again?
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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

"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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I didn't care for it actually. If I hadn't been watching the Mentalist already, I might feel differently, but two of the same kind of show? No can do.
