If that is all it is sure, but if you read my post I said I did not see overall gain. I saw the kind of facial bloat meds can cause.

Just a question about Skyler Weller (Kira) this season — I know time has passed and she's grown, but she seems to have developed unusually large cheeks during this downtime. I am concerned that there may be a health issue involved, because she's not visibly overweight anywhere else. I worry about my munchkin…

Well of course I love Lucy… but to me Gillian Anderson also looked like another screen goddess of yore, one of a bigger screen: Eve Arden. Almost a dead, pardon the pun, ringer.

Oh yes, but you must grant me my Erinhate. hateherhateherhateher…

Unknown. It's interesting, because lawyers always advise their clients to make wills and yet they themselves are notorious for neglecting to draw up their own. Still, it seems likely that while Chuck and Rebecca were married there would have been a will, and his remaining good feelings toward her would make it…

It came to me in the night: the true villain of BCS is not poor demented, evil bro Chuck, it is that "darling" young woman, Erin Brill, the one who has been like fingernails on a chalkboard to me from day one. Had it not been for Darling Erin, whom I have always dubbed Sanctimonious Sally, Jimmy would probably…

Not professional, personal. Chuck invited Jimmy to dinner with the intention, whether innerly expressed or intentionally conceived, of making Rebecca repulsed by him. Instead, she enjoyed him, and when Chuck mentally threw up his hands and tried to enter into their fun with his own lawyer joke he saw that even…

We really don't know precisely how long Chuck has been mentally ill, but presumably it has been no longer than the length of the dissolution of his marriage. His resentments and workings against Jimmy long predate his descent into mental illness. And as someone who has lived with mental illness personally for close…

I believe there is a principle in law prohibiting restrictions on inheritance by "the dead hand." It is to prevent the dead from such claims against an estate, but may not apply in all states.

Jimmy did not destroy Irene's life. Let's not be overly dramatic. He did alienate her from her closest and dearest companions, which in her tight little circle is almost, if not quite, as bad. The difference is that Jimmy, although venal, is not evil. I would argue that Chuck IS evil, the difference being that at…

I was just rewatching Season One, so unwilling to let BGS go, and in the diner scene where Mike is about to encounter Hector Salamanca for the first time his entrance is prefaced by the sharp ringing of a bell and the order " Pick up!"

Oh, rob, I have to disagree. Jimmy was not practicing law without a license; in fact he was careful to remind Irene that he was on a year's sabbatical from his practice and was speaking to her as a friend, not as her counsel. While his motives were impure his legal skirts were clean. Even Erin, who is no fan of…

I'm confused. Why is Jimmy out of the Sandpiper settlement? He is out of the early settlement, the one he pushed Mrs. Landry to accept, but he was always going to get his contractural share of the settlement when it came due, right? He didn't forfeit that as part of an agreement with Sanctimonious Sally aka Erin.

It was a snack. Just to tide her over until the borscht and kasha.

Hey, he makes great fried chicken, too!

I believe the use of paper bags is standard and may have something to do with its breathability and lack of potential sticking surface. Plastic can bond or smear surfaces and thereby contaminate the very thing it would intend to protect.

It's a little oblique but in fact when Sherlock tries his hardest to ensure Joan's employment somewhere following his being fired from his consultancy, Joan has a nice little speech to the effect that her commitment is to their partnership, not to a job. That does it for me.

Can we all take a moment to remember when seeing Joe Morton was an occasion for happy? Myles Dyson? The Brother from Another Planet? I so used to love that guy, and now generations of viewers will just groan. Sad.

I really enjoyed this episode's Old Home Week reunion feel, what with Martha and Gabriel, Linh Gaad and Oleg and Kimmy and assorted rembrances of characters past. For me the most satisfying exchange was between Oleg and his father, unexpectedly relaxed, warm and open. Oleg's connection with his mother had been so…

This is bringing to mind a wonderful episode of "Fringe" in which Olivia crosses over into the Other Universe to help solve a case involving two versions of a single person. On one Side he is a scientist who studies serial killers; on the Other he IS a serial killer. The difference was that at a significant turning…
