The Practice 10/13/02
 

I just want to know what happened in the last five minutes.

The last part I saw was Eleanor arguing to the judge in the new hearing about that piece of evidence that the DA didn't give the group in the beginning.

What happened after that?


BTW, I like that DA guy. I get a Bill O'Reilly vibe from him.

This season, although a rehash (wasn't Bobby on trial for accessory to murder a few seasons ago) is still great, but I was switching between this and Gleason...mainly towards Gleason.

Thanks.

Man.

I'm still lovin' Jamie. :D

Jamie was great in the scene where she told off her client. That whole subplot was pretty entertaining.

Really lame how ABC gave away the ending all week with their previews. It's not like we didn't know Lindsay would get off, but it was still annoying to know it would happen tonight.

I'm still anti-Jamie. I really, really hope they write her out and realize that throwing a new character on the show doesn't always increase interest.

Seriously. As I was watching, I kept thinking, well, it's not over yet because I haven't heard Bobby say, "I don't believe it," like he did in all the previews...

What's most annoying is the stupidity that ABC assumes on its viewers. Dylan's an actor, and as such, he conveys emotion with his face and his words. It was clear there was elated relief on his face in those previews. What a horrible clip to show people all week long.

So far I like the Jamie bits more than I did initially. I'm glad they're at least giving her more depth than "eager Ivy League graduate." She's really self-centered and whiney, yet she brings new blood onto the show.

I did think the big revelation was a huge Deus Ex Machina, though. I did like how they didn't get Lindsay off in the season premiere, but kinda dragged it out for drama (unlike, say, Alias, which solved all of last season's numerous cliffhangers in the span of the first half hour). But really this new development came out of nowhere.

I loved the part in the bar where the DA was talking about how 25 years ago, he could sit at a bar and have a drink with the defense lawyers, and now he can't. It was kind of sad to see how personally he took those attacks, and how it really broke him down (though next episode looks like he's back to normal)

I do have a question... what happened to the other DAs? Have they moved on from the show? I haven't been watching that long, but I have been watching the weekend reruns... is that bald guy still around? I know the young guy quit...

Lastly, it'll be interesting to see the aftermath of all of this. Is Lindsay going to quit being a lawyer, because of the hit to her reputation this trial brought?

The bald guy (Richard Bay) was killed off two seasons ago. The other guy, Alan Lowe, left pretty mysteriously. Played by Ron Livingston, he did a few episodes then they just yanked him. Don't know if he quit or was fired.

In relation to your last question...

the DA went psycho
total nut job

Reminded me of Matthew Harrison Brady (William Jennings Bryan) in Inherit the Wind at the end of the Cates (Scopes) trial.

:thumbsup:

Get rid of her and Rebecca.

I love Jamie. However, She (and her case) seemed more like ex sister show Ally McBeal than Practice. Hmm..

Rebecca I can stand, but is kinda annoying

but the partner I hate is Jimmy. He pisses me off every, every time he opens his damn mouth.

So how did Richard Bay die (I guess the repeats aren't up to that yet). And how did he become a regular on that flashback show (one of the shows where the adult goes back in time to when he was a kid)?

Is anyone else bothered by Camryn Manheim's eyebrows?

One of them looks normal/straight, but the other one is round and looks like the St. Louis arch or a horseshoe or something. Every time I look at her, all I notice are how her brows don't match.

You would think with the professional makeup artists ABC must have they could do something to even them out, especially that weird curvy one.
