Yeah, -t, I'm a bit dubious.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Given that it doesn't actually mention the word "Amazon" I give it a sideeye.

She'll be 5'2" and weigh 105 lbs. And be all angsty and neurotic about her romantic situation.

I'd take Joss's version in a heartbeat over Kelley's.

Because books.
I've never liked a Kelley show, but I did watch Harry's Law the other night, simply because I can't resist Kathy Bates. She's a joy, but I can already see the quirks in the setup that will get annoying really quickly.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'll admit I love David E Kelley, although I haven't watched his last couple of shows and think his first show, Picket Fences, is still his best. TCG and I have been slowly watching Ally McBeal (re-watch for me, first watch for him).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Watching Harry's Law is what made me remember/realize my anti-Kelley-ness. I'm gonna hang in and keep watching it in hopes that Kathy Bates will dominate the parts I don't like, but the parts I don't like really bug.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh man, I loved Picket Fences with an unhealthy passion. Ally McBeal I put up with for longer than it deserved, and I don't think I've watched a Kelley show since.

I liked Picket Fences a lot when it started, but it lost me after a while.

Man, I loved Ally McBeal at the start. But it did become crazy crap at the end. But it did introduce me to the lovely looks of Lucy Liu, among others, and for that I'm grateful.
