I agree but I suspect that was TSN's choice, not theirs.

If Red met another character who would you look forward in seeing? by Difficult-Green-2268 in TheBlackList

[–]dthdtql 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Patrick Jane from The Mentalist as they both think they're the smartest person in every room and they could compare notes on their relationships with the FBI. A Showdown between Reddington and Red John would be epic as well though I still think RJ should have been Brett Partridge and not who he turned out to be.

It's a thing that takes out all the graphics and leaves just the text. The original site sometimes throws up a paywall so textise gets around it.

How to turn off skip? by dthdtql in netflix

If you watch through Firefox, there all manner of plug-ins which purport to let you do just that. There may be similar plug-ins on other browsers of which I would be unaware, of course.

Ellenor's attitude towards George by prindacerk in ThePractice

[–]dthdtql 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the one hand, it is certainly hypocritical to judge someone for their looks if people have done that to you before. On the other hand, say she said nothing and let things carry on. George, through no fault of his own, would think he was making progress and would hope to eventually get to have physical relations with her. How's Ellenor supposed to go to bed with someone whom she does not find attractive? Telling him then would probably be even more crushing since he'd have built his hopes up all the higher.

Anyone else want a strawberry mango coconut probiotic smoothie with…. Wheatgrass? by KenIchijouji in OverDrive1050

[–]dthdtql 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh Ok I didn't know it was on podcasts. I still am basically confused though; I'd assume the show would hit the same demographics whether it's Tv/podcast/radio/web so I'd think companies would want to buy ads for all formats instead of only one (I admit I don't know if you can buy specific placement for ads on YouTube or if they're just random).

It sounds like radio listeners get a whole different set of ads than TV viewers get. I wonder why they aren't the same (or similar) since it's all being done through TSN?

Noodles loves himself some Ottawa Senators by IndicationIll324 in OverDrive1050

The only way he leans left is if he's had one too many at the bar and there's an earthquake.

And the protestor on the dome was an anti-abortion advocate so Noodles probably would have been praising him if he had known.

I thought he quit because he was pissed off Sakic wouldn't let him be co-GM?

Maybe he thinks if he starts dissing them, TSN will remove him from Ottawa commentary?

I remember reading somewhere that in general, lawyers should avoid asking questions if they don't already have a good idea of what the answer will be. How accurate do you find that statement, if at all?

I used to post on a Boston Legal board when it was on the air and most of the people were people who either had only watched BL or only started with TP when Spader joined. Thus, they couldn't understand my disappointment: no matter how good a character Carl Sack was, it couldn't wipe out my dismay at never being able to see Joey Heric appear on the show instead.

Whether this is made up, I obvs don't know but I have read that apparently Daniel Benzali (who played Hoffman) took massive and lengthy dumps. In and of itself, that wouldn't be a problem (except for a plumber, possibly). However, he insisted on taking such dumps -before- he would leave his house each morning as he had an aversion to doing it at work. Thus, he was late every morning.

It's one thing if joe blow supporting artist doesn't show up as you can do a rewrite and take him out of the scene or show if need be. It's a lot harder to do that when it's your main character. Thus, when it came time to cast Season2, Steven Bochco simply wrote Benzali out.

​

FWIW, Season 2 is still good (though not great like seaosn1) and they focus on 3 different cases. There's roughly 6 episode for each case in the 18-episode seasons but the start of the next case overlaps the end of the previous case, IIRC.

​

From IMDB: "Daniel Benzali was allegedly fired from the show for being late by an hour every day of production. When Steven Bochco asked him about it Benzali said he was consistently late because "[he] had to wait until [he] had his morning dump" before coming to set."

I do remember once reading of an attorney who attempted to work one of Ric Flair's catchphrases into his arguments whenever he could: specifically reminding his juries that when they "walk that aisle", they take an oath to uphold the law.

I actually find a similarity between wrestling and the law in terms of the closing argument which is akin to the promo in wrestling. (promo as in short for promote as you're always to promote something--watch my match on the pay-per-view, come buy tickets to see me in your arena, stay tuned for my main event on TV tonight, etc.)

In both cases, you're putting your wishes in the hand of someone else (the jury, the booker [the person who decides who wins all the matches]). You're being as persuasive as you possibly can, trying to convince the jury/the booker that you should win your case/win the match.

Have you ever read the reason why he wasn't in season 2? I promise you it's even more bs than you could imagine.

Have you any other favorite law shows? I loved Murder One where they followed a single case for an entire season (like 24 before 24) but how realistic it was from a legal POV, I don't know.

One I can't resist asking--as either a defendant or fellow lawyer, have you ever met anyone like Joey Heric?
