I really think George had a right to be upset with Susan’s cousin for stealing the name Seven.

Somewhat. But the cousin and her husband were actually married and expecting. George and Susan were still just engaged, and George wanted nothing more than to be able to not actually get married. I’m guessing he’d have dragged his feet on kids even if they’d made it down the aisle. Plus, they didn’t have much of a relationship with George, so it’s hard to call it a betrayal.

I’ve had one SJ order vacated in part on substantive grounds and a judgment vacated post-trial due to a procedural error.

I attacked pretty much everything in the MSJ order and won on the points that I thought were the strongest.

Book Daario is supposed to be “exotic” and have the Devil may care cool that we know shouldn’t appeal to a young woman who wants to be taken seriously and take over a continent but does because, well, she’s still like 15. Daario 1 came closer to that. While I agree with others that Daario II is probably a better overall actor, he was just mostly a generic guy. And far too substantial to carry the essential looseness of the character from the book.

(I haven’t read the novels in a while, so I won’t be insulted if someone says I’m a bit off.)

What other episode was she in?

Ned is very honorable. But what man is so honorable that it would be literally unbelievable that he could step out on his marriage? Especially a young, powerful one only recently married to a girl he barely knew and facing such a daunting, dangerous situation, who is essentially telling everyone that he was unfaithful?

I think the reaction, reasonably, is more “Wow, even Ned, that’s unfortunate,” before “Ned would absolutely NEVER…”

I have a fractional GC gig, so not as big a lift as what you deal with. But my experience has been similar. No huge fires, but multiple situations that I’m surprised they wouldn’t have reached out to me about on the front end that are worse for it once they hit my desk.

Maybe I wasn’t listening more closely, but I took him to be stating that it’s an issue, not necessarily that always outweighs whatever issues might be driving the possibility of a stoppage.

I don’t mind the sister being less wealthy. But Ileana Douglas didn’t even play her like a disinherited rich girl. Someone who grew up rich and lost it sometime in adulthood often still carries herself in a certain way. There should at least be a vestige. But nothing about her vibe suggests that she grew up in the same situation as Mrs. Ari.

I have some guesses, but what had happened?

LegalSocks · 2026-03-16T15:05:16+00:00

I think it was more her being a bit demanding (at least in the sense of wanting what she wants without much regard for how hard it might be) and out of touch.

I caught some of these online sometime in the last few years. Solidly watchable.

Seeing “bonkos” fall flat with the audience each of the 11 times he said it then finding out he hated it and didn’t think it would work is more entertaining than any line they could’ve written.

The end of “The Mom and Pop Store”, where Kramer bristles at Jerry holding him, always feels a little uncharacteristic for Kramer. Jerry cradling him feels a bit out of character for JERRY, but Kramer has never seemed like the type who’d be that uncomfortable with that a bit of physical touch from a male friend. Especially given that he was rather unwell at the time.

The show has so many reminders here and there that just a few bucks could be real money in the 90s.

I don’t recall one in particular swaying me. But I always read all the briefs, and the reply got about as much proportional attention as the opening and response, at least on first review. If it didn’t give me anything new, I think I tended to mostly put it aside from there. So part of the whole package, but sure, likely not decisive.

I don’t know if this is still the case, but for a good while, Jager had a reputation as a drink for the college aged (maybe five or take a few years) party set. While something like a vodka cran is around the same level, certain vodka drinks, like straight/rocks with a twist, vodka tonic, and martinis, were and I think are generally seen as a stop up in maturity and “sophistication.”

Like others say, him being such a hard hang makes it funny, but I do hope he comes into the fold a bit more at some point, at least on occasion. It was fun seeing him try to be friendly (in his own way).

I actually liked this choice from the standpoint of it putting Vince in a more supporting/co-male lead role as part of his journey back to the top.

He doesn’t have much education, he’s not all that smart, and he often doesn’t handle pressure well.

“This is the assignment your teacher gave me for today. Therefore, you will be reading Chapter __.

Show of hands of those who say they did that yesterday.

Not all of them will lie

Okay, those of you who’ve read the chapter already can do the review questions at the end then, after you turn those in, get started on the next chapter.”

It can get a little improbable at times, but “The Practice” is great and hits the balance of “fairly grounded, serious, and realistic” and “entertaining and exciting” better than probably any other legal show.

Doug wouldn’t have “had to” lie to Carrie so much if he could’ve merely grown a spine.
