Crazy times: This episode shows the fickle shifts in power - Cochran, normally in charge of himself - is buying into media hype and anointed himself civil rights savior Old Testament style. It takes the white cartoony ones, Shapiro and Bailey, to bring him back to earth.

Manna from heaven… for the prosecution! Blown.
The defining moment that gave the prosecution their final chance to save themselves and the trial by pushing for a mistrial.
All the poor decisions have come home to roost.

Amen.

He did a slow strut away, then looked back at her. No matter… black coffee this week after a night of shots from last week's episode is a sober wake-up call about any fantasy she may have had about Darden.

Mo' meta'licious! She gets to confront any personal biases, like the rest of the cast indirectly linked with the actual trial/OJ.

Maybe because a system is only as good as the human's participating in it? Humans aren't the weak links. They ARE the links making up the whole machine.

Robert K started showing doubt when Fung was testifying about DNA, 3 months in, which is April. Kris would not have been showing yet, being only 2 months pregnant, due in November. You will get your maternity fashion fix later.

K in consumer goods have always been a fake C to me, which, is very fitting in this case :D
Think: Kraft.
I love how Bruce Jenner went with Cait, not Kate, I'm imagining as one last FU to Kris.

It was good stuff, saw a few tapings back then. Raunchier on set.

Yes, you're right. Season 2, if there is one, stays on this theme with all the media and social implications, but at a larger, institutional level, a̶t̶t̶a̶c̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ examining US government. Can't wait for the casting of that!

Yep, it can be found on the same shelf next to 'diminishing returns.'

I also don't think she' realized Johnny still one-upped her with the coffee thing as tho he was telegraphing to her he knew she and Darden were a thing, but she didn't get it, being a lamb compared to Johnny.
"I heard you like your coffee black with 2 sweet and lows." He does a slow strut, then looks back.
That olive…

More interesting that Susan Beaubian/Dr Turtle played OJ's wife in Naked Gun. Heh. Mo' meta.

Check out interviews by Murphy and Co, producers/writers of the series who developed ACS in response to racism in the murder case of Michael Brown in Ferguson, and similar events, and how it was the lightning rod for the deeply systemic problems and sweeping social/cultural implications nationally. When you want to…

HC = illusions about fame and riches resulting in addiction, disillusion and heartbreak. That's it in a nutshell, no coded message there. Which btw is a common problem - even for some who actually live in LA - not just Hollywood's LA. Enter OJ trial in the new age of media/digital news cycle: "Folie à plusieurs" aka…

Too bad… 'cause a jury pool of wealthy white in West LA WERE in fact his peers. This case was a study in doing the wrong thing for the right reasons and vice versa. Anyway, they were damned if they do…

You're right… w̶o̶r̶l̶d̶ country. Who knows how they would've turned out if not for this insane experience thru their parents. But I think it's safe to say the world now hates them for ruining the letter K.

Yep. All things Jury and Pool were drying up this episode.

More irony than a full-service laundry.
