Cochran's coming off as a damn champion. He's outworking the prosecution and avoiding getting dragged down by incompetent Dream Team members.

The amazing—but realistic—part of it is that Cochran didn't identify himself as an Assistant District Attorney at the outset. If cops in New York are any indication, that was a smart move, because I'm told the NYPD regularly steps down extra hard on ADAs who try to play "Do you know who I am?" games.

No. Just no.

If getting handcuffed in front of his daughters helped make Johnny Cochran the attorney he later became, those kids played a greater role in OJ's acquittal than most of the cops, attorneys, and witnesses who actually participated in the trial.

The interior art is OK. That cover could be used as birth control, though. That's the opposite of how Marvel treats most of its niche titles (where nice-to-beautiful cover art conceals sub-fill-in art on the inside).

Seriously? Off the top of my head, Justin Lin's made a number of Fast & Furious movies; Ang Lee had Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hulk, and Life of Pi; Tim Story made the Jessica Alba Fantastic Four movies and Ride Along; F. Gary Gray made the Italian Job and Straight Outta Compton; Antoine Fuqua had decent hits

You're giving Iron Fist's creators waay more credit than they deserve for cultural specificity. In any case, the people of K'un L'un have only very limited contact with the people of this dimension. Even if they were based on Tibetan and Chinese culture, encountering a Han Chinese wouldn't be "more contentious" than

I didn't claim that you had. I was discussing previous comments in this thread. Apologies if it sounded like an accusation aimed at you.

The dimensional gateway to K'un L'un is supposed to be in Tibet. That doesn't make K'un L'un Tibet.

Yeah, I'm a little surprised at the A grade myself, and Enemy Mine was the first thing that came to mind. I thought this was a better episode than the space whales, but nowhere near as good as the previous Cham Syndulla ep was. Still, I'm glad that there was at least one cliche the episode skipped, since the glowing

Given that the Geonosians designing the Death Star is one of the few "smoking guns" linking Palpatine to the Separatists, it's not surprising that the Geonosians would be wiped out in the time between the prequels and the original trilogy. I think Rebels is the best evidence that the new EU (revised canon, whatever

Well, to be fair, the Empire needed at least two crystals, since Death Star II probably wasn't just built in the 4 years between the end of Star Wars and the beginning of Return of the Jedi.

It's easy to dismiss the jury as stupid or ill-intentioned. The show so far has been very even-handed about pointing out the prosecution's many, many missteps. This episode featured the dual game-losers of taking the death penalty off the table (denying any prosecution-leaning jurors the bargaining chip of special

I think the tedium will be the story, for at least a couple of episodes. I could've sworn there was a stretch of the trial where the jury was sequestered and idle for two weeks while someone took a vacation—I'd be curious to see what was happening during the downtime.

We've had uncensored breasts on broadcast TV! The next step for FX after two f-bombs is actual on-screen penetration.

More like: "We saw this movie with Leo DiCaprio and Gerard Depardieu on TBS last night…"

So does that make the Man in the Mask E1 Jay, Zoom E2 Hunter, and dead Jay E2 Jay?

No! Caitlin, do NOT doom Grodd to death by falling in love with him!

Yeah, he needs to go save a cat or something…

Well, the show features a fun, lovable, Wally West-style Barry Allen. It should have a douchey Barry Allen-like Wally West.
