The previous jury she was on probably wasn't as hardened against prosecution arguments as this one was. After 8 months, even if you haven't been discussing the case, you know who you're dealing with in the other jurors. If several of them tell you that they never, ever, under any circumstances will ever come around to…

Not crazy, just ratings-wise, there weren't a ton of them in the mid-90s. NBC's lineup didn't try in any way to attract black viewers during that period, and FOX's lineup focused on nothing but. Time-shifting shows was substantially more difficult back then, so there wasn't a lot of people watching one live and…

Yeah, back in the day being hot for Tonya Harding was something somewhat dirty and mildly deviant.

…and you realize they didn't wait until just now to take pictures of her, right?

If Paulson's the thief I'm in.

At least they weren't swinging the camera around quite as hard as they did during the cross of Fuhrman.

Not that I don't want to, but really I don't. This isn't just anecdotal, it's factual—FOX counterprogrammed NBC's Thursday night lineup with shows, anchored by Martin, that were aimed at black viewers, and those shows beat the most popular comedies in America handily in the target demographic. Here's a link if you…

This was probably my second-favorite episode, given that it didn't lean too hard on big moments from the public record, and is really all behind-the scenes stuff. We knew that an episode like this had to happen—someone had to capture the tedium of the trial without actually being tedious (for example, in the episode…

I would bet that it was real. Martin was tremendously popular among African Americans, and the success of Seinfeld was pretty incomprehensible to most of the black people I knew at the time.

"Why would anyone choose Seinfeld over Martin?"

Serious question: Robbie is shapely and extremely attractive, but I have a hard time believing that she has the gigantic backside this role requires. From the waist down, Harding was built like a damn Clydesdale.

Yeah, that was bad, but the last two pages of the preview were kinda heartbreaking.

They'll probably put a prosthetic on a normal-toothed actor, totally appropriating Kerrigan's toothy culture. And then they'll act as if there weren't hundreds of Huge-toothed American actresses in Hollywood who could play this role!

No joke. If he'd hidden his diagnosis for a few years while he was smoking crack, giving press conferences drunk, and saying any damn thing that slipped through his mind, we might be looking at a real-life Canadian Breaking Bad.

Things are really screwed if we're resorting to Machete orders…

It's called placeholder CGI. If that shot of Archangel shooting blades at people isn't swapped for a better effect in the final movie, I'd be terribly surprised. The biggest comfort is that DoFP looked similarly off at this point in the release cycle.

I never claimed it wasn't shitty writing. I'm just saying that not every instance of "female character dies, male character has feelings about that" is fridging—which is a point that Gail Simone herself makes. For all the taunting Ward does and the "Must…kill Ward!" angst they have Coulson go through, she wasn't…

Dude's the General Custer of the legal profession.

That's cold, but true.

…if only that were so…
