Fairly Legal -- The 2nd Season Thread -- Fridays (USA)

Synopsis for "Satisfaction"

Spoiler:
In the Season 2 premiere, Kate returns to work and mediates a case between a corporation and a former employee, who claims he was exposed to harmful chemicals on the job. Meanwhile, Kate clashes with a trial lawyer.


13 episode 2nd season

Same with this show. Fairly Legal isn't the kind of show that generates alot of discussion week to week. So 1 thread for the entire season.

They need to put her in hotter outfits. That would improve the show.

Re: Fairly Legal -- The 2nd Season Thread -- Fridays (USA)

Only watched about half the episode because I have to work early tomorrow.

Some quick observations:

I don't like the new lawyer

I can't decide if Lauren is hot or not. Virginia Williams is sooo skinny.

Kate needs to stop drooling over Justin and move on.

I'll finish it up later tomorrow.

Is it 13 in a row?

I enjoyed the first season. And SS is smoking hot.

Damn, even in a frumpy sweater Sarah Shahi is hot.

I really liked this episode. at Kate blowing up her boat. The new lawyer may get old fast, though. I think I'd rather have him as an occasional nemesis rather than a series regular.

She's skinny, but she pulls it off. That scene where she's sashaying in that tight white dress?

Re: Fairly Legal -- The 2nd Season Thread -- Fridays (USA)

I thought it was pretty good. I heard that USA hired a new showrunner for this season, but I didn't notice anything really different creatively.

at Kate's boat blowing up. That was an awesome way to the end episode.

at Kate freaking out and throwing the glass after Justin revealed his 1 night stand. I hate them as a couple, so hopefully this puts a wedge between them and she'll finally sign the divorce papers.

I agree with Fist of Doom. Lauren looked really hot in that white dress and the black high heels.

Looks like Lauren hired Ben to the firm to help bring in some business since Reed and Reed is apparently broke.

I find Lauren verrry hot. I would probably even pick her over Kate.

At first I was annoyed by the new guy, but then I started to like him a little. I might get tired of him quickly, though.

Ethan Embry played Kate's brother last season, right? They mentioned him in this one. I wonder if we'll see him this season.

Bump. New episode tonight

Episode 2 of 13

"Start Me Up"

Spoiler:
Kate takes a case in which the FBI and a hospital are at odds over a liver transplant. The negotiations become more complicated, however, when Kate discovers a patient on the donor list was bumped in order to accommodate the FBI.

Pretty good episode. I liked all the maneuvering Kate had to do with the transplant situation, and they intertwined it nicely with her relationship with Justin. I also liked the interplay between Kate and the "junior" FBI agent.

The new lawyer guy is an ass, but provides a good dynamic to the law office scenes that was missing when it was previously just Kate vs Lauren.

New lawyer is almost as bad as them added a baby to the show.

Show is still good in spite of new lawyer.
In season one I thought the men hair styles looked like birds nest and even the new lawyer looks like he has a birds nest on his head.
Is that what men are doing with their hair these days?

I had no idea the Shahi was back on TV.

I've missed her since "Life" ended.

Well, you can jump in pretty easily on this if you choose to watch.

She looks alot hotter on here than she did on Life.

I only watched the original pilot and never got around to watching more. I guess the first season was only released by Target?

First episode of the second season is free on Amazon and I think itunes.

Well you called THAT one but the writers have ALSO created a new reverse dynamic of their relationship last season. Justin will now be chasing after Kate who is maybe chasing after FBI Agent Stan.

The hair is different this season (most noticeable is Leo's afro is gone). Also the new show runner is most obvious in terms of them dumping the whole Wizard of Oz thing they were trying to cram into Kate's life. I think getting her off the houseboat makes sense too.

I think they are trying to show off Sarah more this season. She was smoking hot in that bar scene in last night's episode.

And Lauren....damn. That's some body. I didn't know she had hair either.

The new partner is really annoying. It's nice that they dumped the Wizard of Oz ringtones.

New lawyer Grogan kind of grew on me over the season.

This week's episode had Leo showing Kate a real car-buying website because he's tired of driving her around. In the next break, there was a commercial for that very website. Since when are commercials being added to the action of the show itself? I don't think I like that.

Sarah/Kate in that tight yellow dress.

You've obviously never watched a CW show (nor Hawaii Five 0). In show product placement is nothing new. Expect to see more of it as DVRs become more prevalent.

Or Chuck, or Community. Or Heroes. Or a dozen other shows.

Hmm, I saw the website Leo was looking at but I never saw the commercial as I FF them. The things I miss due to FF commercials, I think I can live with it tho.

Tonight is the last episode of the season

and the episode is called "Finale"

Spoiler:
In the Season 2 finale, Kate looks into the firing of a lesbian couple and uncovers a scandal that could involve DA Davidson. Meanwhile, Kate is forced to choose between Justin and Ben.


Sarah Shahi once again posted a video on her Facebook page and begged people to tune in tonight. She's pretty passionate about this show and I guess she really wants to come back.

That is indeed suggestive of the show's probable fate.

Has there been any word yet on if this will be coming back or not? It's been a few months now since season 2 ended...

I think it's done. But she had a great spread in Maxim this month. How this show fails and Royal Pains gets ratings on USA, I have no idea.
