It's gonna be kind of hard for Hank to keep his secret if he continues running around the DEO yelling, "I'm 317 years old!" at the top of his lungs.

Heh.

Yeah, it always disturbs me when they paint the anti-alien crew as just a bunch of horrible bigots, full stop. Um, half the episodes on this show have proven the need to be/reason to be concerned about superpowered non-humans wandering around. Like, when they overrule the express orders of the President because the

Well, the week before, Kara overruled a Presidential order because of her auntiefeels, so…yes.

Winn is referred to in our house as "Diet Cisco." (My 14-y-o daughter came up with that one.) This was his best episode yet, and the actor is fine, but he still feels like Diet Cisco.

I once left a couple of crayons in the car, on the rear dash.

Wanna make fourteen bucks…the hard way?

I'm really going to miss this show. It's been so excellent, and so fun.

I am honestly always confused by the idea that all black people cheered and all white people were horrified by the verdict. I knew plenty of black people who thought he was guilty, and plenty of white people—including myself—who thought the prosecution had not proved their case. I remember a general feeling/idea that

Exactly. And it's far, far better to have a system designed to ensure that sometimes the guilty go free in order to protect the the innocent from regularly ending up imprisoned.

Justice has never been a guaranteed result of any legal system, ever, anywhere, and please do show me a system anywhere in the world that is better or less "antiquated."

Those people are stupid, sorry. Why in the world would OJ make money from this? It's a non-fiction show based on actual events; they don't have to give him money any more than the makers of a show about Jack the Ripper have to pay the victim's descendants or the makers of WWII-era shows have to pay the Roosevelt

I read somewhere that Cuba's strategy in this was to one take like OJ was guilty, and then one like he was innocent, and let the director choose which to use. It's a pretty cool way to do it, IMO, and I sometimes find myself re-watching, trying to guess which is which; I've found a couple where I'm sure one way or the

"How can you teach screenwriting if you can't sell a script?" made me laugh. This sort of thing is rampant, probably even more so today. Any aspiring writer can take numerous classes, attend workshops, and read how-to-write books written by people who have never made a commercial sale and have no legitimate

Why would Vanity Fair lie about that, though?

Yeah, they opened an investigation into the claims he made/stories on the tape, and found that most of them were completely made up (as in, no cases ever existed that matched them) and the others had no proof that he'd done anything.

"Manna from Heaven" is a fairly famous phrase from the Bible. I doubt the ACS writers had never heard it before Bugliosi used it.

I thought Schwimmer did a great job in this episode; I really felt for him when he started crying while visiting his ex. The look he gave his kids out by the pool, as he was clearly thinking about OJ's guilt and their innocence, and how they'll feel when they learn "Uncle Juice" really is a murderer, was heartbreaking.
