But how is it harmless? The person being a stranger in that case doesn't really need to be qualified to tell you he looked at a picture of your daughter and has an insulting, hostile comment to make about it. It's hard to believe Parker/Stone's reaction to that would be that it's silly to have a negative reaction to…

This is something I've never understood, though—how is your online persona NOT an offshoot of yourself? The internet is just a way for people to talk to each other. A child being insulted on Twitter is just a child being insulted. Sure them not going on Twitter anyone is a way to avoid insults, but it's basically the…

I didn't take the "stay off the internet" joke as saying that the internet wasn't important and didn't matter, exactly. To me it was just the show coming up with several different absurdities that didn't match up into a single coherent message—which I think they like to do. So they exaggerated the reaction of people…

But Gerald is doing those things. He specifically said he likes everyone freak out—and then he was thrilled when he got a Google alert that said he'd actually made the news, and responded to the woman's saying she was going to not stoop to his level as a challenge to get her to respond more. He's trolling.

Elizabeth did know it was Betty—she looked in the office and saw Betty before Betty saw her. And Betty did have access to a phone, she just hadn't used it yet because she didn't know they were there. Elizabeth and Philip could have snuck out—the bug wouldn't have gotten planted but they also wouldn't have had a dead…

Him getting a hung jury with the evidence the prosecution started with (and the prosecution saying they're not going to try again) is pretty close to a win. Easily enough to make a name for Stone. A tie was amazing in this case.

True—I don't mean to imply that the way I interpreted it when I was watching it was correct. Who knows what they even had in mind? All we know is he had this condition, it went away shortly after he went to the herbalist, then it came back with a vengeance. And we know that drinking herbs didn't cure it even…

I know that by having him claim the guy cured him a lot of viewers would think he was right. It just didn't seem like the show was showing him taking dangerously high levels of a drug since he didn't have any side-effects and the thing came back in response to specific stress (alone with an asthma attack). It's not…

I thought the point was the herbal stuff hadn't helped him at all. But I didn't get the impression that he was actually being given the same type of thing he was already being prescribed by the legit doctors only in a higher dose. It just happened to coincide with the reduced stress and the flare-up calmed down. He'd…

I think it was supposed to be completely stress. The stuff the doctor was giving him was herbal and helped him because he had less stress when he was more disconnected from the case and had the cat. When he got the closing dumped in his lap he freaked out and it triggered both the skin condition and the asthma.

Freddy got it to him but if Naz was behind it with him there would be no need for Stone to dramatically convince him to use it. Plus there was no set up since Chandra kissed Naz, not the other way around.

No, Stone brought the tape to him and asked for permission to make it public. Nobody set Chandra up they just used what she did to help Naz.

Stone's situation with Chandra was kind of interesting, though, because if he hadn't sacrificed her he'd have sacrificed Naz in an even bigger way.

FWIW, if there's a sexist trope this fits it isn't that she's attracted to him it's that a woman can't fulfill a job like Defense Attorney because she will get too emotional and personally involved with the client in the wrong way (as opposed to Stone who was personally invested but not kissing the guy).

LOL! This woman is just such a comically bad Defense Attorney. "I wanted to show my client who I am defending in court, that I am on his side. How else to do that that other than stick my tongue in his mouth?"

Right, but there's a huge difference between something not being a good idea and something being an explicit violation of your professional ethics. It's the same, I think, as in a case with a psychiatrist. Both patient and doctor might know a relationship is a bad idea, but the doctor is supposed to understand that…

Not to mention that Saran wrap and mayo would have made him slide all over the place in those sandals.

Me too. That was a character that jumped off the screen to me. Seemed totally believable and likable—the actress did a great job with her short scenes.

I thought the two women lawyers were believable as lawyers acting the way lawyers would act. And his mom not believing him wasn't a problem for me. It's a cliche to have the mom be his main champion and I thought it made her interesting.

Thanks, I forgot how that went down. But I don't think that makes Stone into a bad guy. Given the evidence he had every reason to think he was saving Naz from decades in prison and some of Chandra's actions as a lawyer may have put him in jail for life. It may have been Stone's closing that made up for her putting him…
