I am curious as to why he went with those particular tattoos.

This may well have been addressed in an earlier episode, and I just don't remember, but why is the junior associate first-chair at the trial, rather than the seasoned, albeit scuzzy looking, ambulance chaser? I understand that they're playing the race/female cards for the benefit of the jurors, but given the stakes,

Why? Genuinely curious.

I was in Baltimore recently, and you could drive just four blocks from John Hopkins Medical Hospital - the most prestigious medical hospital in the world - and find street after street of abandoned row houses. I just don't understand it. Why wouldn't someone (like the trustees of John Hopkins) buy the land at next to

At what point does tattooing ones knuckles the day before a murder trial seem like a good idea?

What on earth possessed them to release "Ben Hur" during the last weeks of August? Given that it was already the remake that literally nobody in the world was asking for, couldn't they just have held off and waited until Easter next year?

My office in NYC is right next to the E Corp building on 57th and Lexington. It takes me out of the show sometimes.

Lest we forget, Fisher Stevens had Michelle Pfeiffer in her prime, people. The man will always have one up on us all forever.

The third one was my favorite. It was the action movie equivalent of a shark - swift, lean, efficient, and perfectly aware that if it slowed down for a second, it would die. The Waterloo sequence, the chase across the rooftops in Tangiers, the car chase in Manhattan…everything worked (for me, at least).

I must confess that I always rather liked the delivery of that line.

I think Pat O'Briens beat Café du Monde to the punch on that one. Least it seemed that way last time I was there during Mardi Gras.

I think it was back in the days before they introduced the "And INSERT BIG NAME ACTOR WHO IS BARELY IN THE MOVIE BUT ISN'T PREPARED TO TAKE ANYTHING BUT THIS OR TOP BILLING" that is so common today (and 7/10 times likely to be Samuel L. Jackson or Morgan Freeman).

No mention of De Niro as Louis Cypher in "Angel Heart"?

Ray Wise was fantastic in Reaper. It was one of my favorite shows of the 2000s. I also adored the Happy Halloween commercial that used to air during October, in which he danced around to "It's the most wonderful time of the year". Just perfection.

Is the show intentionally bleeping some but not all of the "fucks" to highlight the inanity of the censorship, or does basic cable really have an allowance per episode? If the latter, then it's ridiculous (and I guess underscores the former).

I read somewhere else that the advertisers basically get the call the shots on what is permitted on basic cable, so if they're ok with it, then it's fine.

When did it become permissible to drop F bombs on USA? Have they always allowed it. I certainly don't recall them in the last season.

Is it premature to suggest Deadpool?

Probably fell out of his pocket when they were getting it on after he stabbed her in the hand. Didn't he take one more hit of it…before hitting it?

I also liked the audible ticking of the detective's watch in the interrogation scenes.
