And Fran and Maxwell used to talk to each other about their romantic problems and then ended up together. She was Jewish, so there was probably a Ben in there too.

I wish we could see the two pilots side by side. A plot/premise is only an idea, especially when it was never filed with copyright for protection in the first place. If the dialogue was the same, then of course that would be different story. You could pull a lot of the scenarios that have happened over 2 seasons of…

They still have to prove that they wrote it first, when they only filed all copies of the Square One script 3 weeks ago. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

NO, I totally agree with your post, I was just trying to expand on it. :-) It's possible that Square One was so poorly written that none of what they are quoting in that comparison table even materialized properly, you know? Those are THEIR words when comparing to the episodes of NG that already exist. The whole…

The timeline for them coming forward doesn't make sense. I don't care how long these cases take to work themselves out, it doesn't take this long to FILE a case. And why would you wait until only 3 weeks ago to file ALL copies of your Square One scripts from 2006 forward with copyright? Don't you do that before you…

Liz has repeatedly said in interviews that Jess and her experiences are modeled off her own life. If that ends up being true, you can't exactly claim rights against the general premise of someone else's life. I'm sure most of us know a woman who, at some point, lived with male roommates. As for the rest of it, most…

Oh, I agree with you. I think this whole thing sounds crazy. Liz wasn't even on the map with No Strings Attached yet when all this supposedly went down, so you can't convince me that they'd steal a script from two unknowns and hand it to another unknown. Doesn't make any sense at all.

I have a hard time believing that an agency wouldn't know EXACTLY how much to change a script to make Copyright laws null and void (if they did in fact "steal" the idea). Premise is one thing, word for word AIRED Pilot of New Girl in comparison to the original Pilot Script of Square One, is an entirely different…

The problem with this show, is that we're halfway through a second season, and it still hasn't decided what it wants to be. There's no real direction in the writing. Going into each episode, I never know if I should be laughing at something because it's just some random quirk that will never show up again, or if…

I tried watching this show again last night (as I've tried to do countless times before) but I just don't understand the characters at ALL. Everything they do is so disjointed and random. We're halfway through a second season and everyone is still so one-dimensional. It just doesn't hold my attention even until the…

So where can I order a 2014 Sexy Selfies of Nick Miller Calendar? ;-)

I took it as meaning that Kevin had been around since 1997, not that Nick had MET him in 1997. He already said he was born in 1981 back in Season 1.

"or in a law school registered with the Committee"
There's nothing stopping you from paying the fee to take the exam if you are enrolled in an accredited law program recognized by the exam. CA is pretty lenient with TAKING the exam, but it's also one of the hardest in the country to actually pass. Even if you pass,…

Actually, in CA you CAN take the bar exam before you finish Law School. Some states you can't, but in CA they let you. You would still need to finish school for a firm to even look at you, but you are allowed to sit for it.

The best part about that entire revelation about Nick's character, was that he actually made SURE he made the right decision. He didn't wallow for years in this limbo where he was constantly questioning himself. He went through with taking the exam, and even after all that work AND passing, he still could walk away.

Did anyone else notice the musical choices? The past few episodes were definitely not up to par, because they are usually so good at selecting music for specific scenes. I could really tell the difference tonight.

No, because the Virgins episode with Schmidt/Elizabeth's story was Junior year in college. We've never seen LAW SCHOOL Nick before.

All the flashbacks with Schmidt have been when he was in college. His style change was in Law School.

This was actually the first episode where I didn't mind him being around. He wasn't thrown into the middle of things and shoved down our throats. The reason probably being, that I think this would have been the first episode they wrote where he was going to be with them for the remainder of the season and not just a…

All this time, NICK has been the one that had it all figured out. He accepted his decisions a long time and he's HAPPY. But is he TOO comfortable in his life to not want to think about marriage, kids, moving out, etc? Really excited to see how this plays out with Jess through the rest of the season.
