The blood evidence was the pretext for the cops' warrantless entry on OJ's property, and the probable cause for their subsequent warrants. It couldn't be ignored.

Most judges would never have thought for a moment about how many hairs are taken in a sample, even if they'd ordered hundreds of defendants to provide samples before. Having a hearing just means that the judge has no clue what the standard operating procedure is or should be, so he couldn't rule on it on the spot.

Cut him some slack…dude's in prison.

The show is remarkably balanced (except for every once in a while when the show turns into Kardashian Babiez). Clark's storyline offsets the campy bits with constant reminders that this is a murder case with real victims, constant reminders that this story is, in fact, a tragedy.

Ned Beatty would probably be the perfect casting for Bailey, but he hasn't gotten an IMDB credit since 2013, so I wonder if he's retired or in poor health.

But he did look on the verge of throwing up for substantial chunk of the trial, so Travolta does have that part down.

It's a silent majority, other than the odd moan here or there.

Spike Lee's an exception because most of his films are made on next to no budget, so he got to make Oldboy for $30 million even after Miracle at St. Anna bombed on a $45 million budget.

Valentina should've died. She just happened to be compatible with Stein, like Jax is. Should she have been compatible without first being exposed to the particle accelerator explosion? It was implied that that was the case with Jax, but I'm not sure it was ever explicitly stated. It's a sci-fi issue, so you can just

A dog, a receptionist…hell, even a "Sorry, We're Closed!" sign would probably work.

Does anybody really eat Milk Duds at home? I mean, aside from people who bought Milk Duds at the movie theater, and didn't have the good sense to dump what was left on their way out, along with the unused portion of the popcorn and soda they bought?

I'd settle for one of those front door chimes, like they have at small retail stores. Not only does everyone and their mother break in to Star Labs, it always takes the people within by surprise.

Yeah, that was disappointing. I was kinda hoping Barry-2 would turn out to actually be a jerk (instead of just kinda being a weenie) justifying Joe-2's claims that he's a selfish guy and giving Barry-1 a moment of "Whoa, do I really act like that?" At which point people might bring up things like his tendency to

Yeah…there's nothing wrong with motivational speeches, particularly given that so much of the stuff Barry's doing is difficult, physically and/or emotionally.

Matt's inability to handwrite isn't something we actually know about, and his writing otherwise was good enough for him to get good grades in law school. In the comics, he could read normal printed material by feeling where there were impressions from printing or ink on the page. His use of computers is slowed,

The effect on me was the opposite. While Matt technically wasn't lying, having a guy deceive you about the extent of a deficit he claimed to suffer is the kind of betrayal that would really wound a friend in real life.

Not sure about that. Guys usually don't leave upset when a lady spends all night fiddling with the antenna, trying to get a clear signal.

You realize that Harlan Ellison's process server is now on his way to Missouri to add you to a law suit, don't you?

Making a character look awesome is about more than their fight scenes. Man of Steel didn't fail on the fight scenes. It failed on establishing who Superman is and what he's about. I'd probably agree that some of Schumacher's action scenes in Forever are better than Burton's in Returns. That doesn't mean that

It wouldn't be crazy—E2's much more of a sci-fi world than Barry's, the type of place Mayor Snart declares a curfew if Zoom's on the loose. The idea that a metahuman who looks like her husband is from an alternate dimension probably wouldn't throw Detective West as badly as it would someone from E1.
