Harper in chains.

movieking

Just saw the early version of it. Spoilers ahead:

freedexter

Well, that's what I get for reading spoilers.

movieking

Oops...sorry my fault:

Patman

The resolution for Stephen's case was kinda lame, hardly any real tension.

The kid and the priest story was just yucky. Maybe Danny will revisit the priest later.

Ronnie was looking good in those tight tops.

Rogue588

Hopefully Danny saw the episode of the Practice where one altar boy sued another for not disclosing the fact that the priest was a molester.

MrX

I'm just happy we're not going to spend the next 6 episodes on the Harper trial.

Rogue588

True. Now if only something can be done about Brooke's tear duct problem...

Venusian

good episode, i'm pretty sure they'll revisit the priest storyline

the lipshitz thing was over the top. a bunch of professionals dont have time to come into school during the day to console an old teacher. it would have made more sense if it was one or two who he impacted a lot

cliffzig

Since Harry Senate is gone, Brooke is now my most hated BP character. What a selfish bitch! "What about me?" She says. Who cares! Move to Florida with Senate for all I care!

freedexter

Yeah, there's no doubt in my mind that Father Egan or whoever he was will make a return visit.

Brooke actually wasn't too annoying. The NKOTB youngin' was. Since when did he care about Lipshitz?

Nice to see the storyline end quickly, though. Very "Alias"-like, with a cliffhanger that's quickly resolved by the end of the next episode. Too bad there's another 2 weeks wait for the next new episode.

Venusian

well the nkotb had an encounter with lipshitz last week where he made fun of him and then felt bad, so it kinda ties in with that

Amadeus

Okay episode.The Harper on trial thing i knew was gonna end.They don't wanna spend the rest of the season on that.Okay that's gone.Now the priest thing was predictable.Hanson some time in the next couple of episodes will revisit the priest and the priest will probably get arrested.The Ronnie and the Zack thing has got to go.And i liked the Lipshitz thing at the end when the nkotb teacher showed him all the people he made a difference for.

Alyoshka

Decent episode. Not really a whole lot that can be said about it beyond that Lipshitz's character is really becoming a little to soft for me.

Roto

Man, what a bunch of cynics! What if you were in high school and your dad was looking at a prison sentence? You wouldn't ask him to take the easy way out to guarantee that he doesn't go to jail? Hardly a selfish bitch

I actually thought the way they got the trial dismissed made sense, even though it didn't make for a very interesting story. But the show has always been so over the top, it's about time they resolved something realistically. It was more believable to me for him to die of a heart attack than banging his head on a desk. But I'm not so sure about the point of him having gone into a coma.

As for little Joey caring about Lipschultz, he's trying to make up for repeatedly embarrassing him. I agree that scene was ridiculous with all the success stories coming to the school. He got all those people together in one day? puh-lease

tofu

whoa, I didn't see the Danny-priest thing coming. It'll be interesting to see how they revisit it later on. Pretty decent episode.

Gizmo

Why didn't the prest recognize Danny when he first ent to the church? He just happened to after? Or was he acting like he didn't know him?

Da Thrilla

Everybody basically said something I was going to, so I'll just say it was a great episode

OldDude

But the guy died in the hospital, presumably in ICU. Isn't it somewhat lame that the hospital and doctors, with all their monitoring equipment, didn't pick up on the difference betrween a heart attack and a blow-to-head-induced coma? I find that unbelievable.

Had the guy died away from medical treatment, I could see that mistake being made initially, and found in more detailed autopsy, but I can't see it being made in an ICU treating the guy.

Roto

That's what I meant about not understanding the point of putting him in a coma. He should've just been DOA. They said he was in a coma at the end of the previous episode, so maybe they came up with the heart problem too late, or they hadn't quite decided to kill him off.

And as for the Danny/Priest thing, I thought that was just plain stupid the way they slowly revealed it. He went to talk to Harper about the priest and all he says is that he went to that church as a kid and remembers hearing stories? That just seems way out of character to have that kind of self restraint. I would more expect him to sucker punch him when they first met at the church. I think even worse was the priest not recognizing Danny at all the first time, but he sure did the next time.

Alyoshka

I got the impression that he did remember him and that is why he asked him if he was going to stick around for mass and danny said, "No, I don't go to church anymore." Or whatever it was he said in reply. I think there was something under the surface there.

Patman

Danny definitely lost his faith in the church after his "run-in" with the priest.

Jadzia

I thought it was ironic that the kid was hanging off of flagpoles and then we find out he had been taking the flagpole.

And did you guys notice this show had an actual "jump the shark" moment. Okay, it wasn't a shark but a bunch of cars. But still.....

B.A.

I thought this episode was just okay - Danny Hanson' story was predictable; you knew Mr. Harper would get off - at least the little racist Thomas has some morality; I liked the Harvey Lipschutz storyline until that last "successful" scene - too far over the top, imo.

I missed the previews for the next episode, someone please fill me in. Danke...

He didn't make it though. Does that still count?
