  young attorney recruited to the firm (and its competitor) amidst some curiously coincidental circumstances regarding her family and friends. Other characters were introduced in the pilot--just enough to create some intrigue for the next show (which airs tonight on F/X at 10). Ted Danson's Arthur Frobisher is the villain (or at least the

  Filed under: OpEd, Episode Reviews, Damages(S01E04) "Trust no one." - Patty I assume we're supposed to find it funny that Patty, of all people, was the one offering that nugget of wisdom to Ellen. I think what's more amusing is that Patty herself doesn't adhere to her own advice. I actually believe that Tom entertaining Martin's offer may be the

  Filed under: OpEd, Episode Reviews, Damages(S01E05) "Walking out of your own last supper?" - Patty This was a bit of a split for me. While this was an enjoyable episode, it got a little bogged down with all the Tom scenes. We got the idea pretty early on that he was uneasy about leaving Patty, but it was continually pounded into our heads over

  deciding who I ultimately wanted to root for. Patty and Arthur are both horrible examples of good human beings, but I still found reasons to like both of them. Not any more. After this episode, I'm finding it incredibly hard to sympathize with Frobisher. Not because he's a bad guy. He's an idiot and doesn't even realize it!It was pathetic really.

  promo for last week? It touted this as being the episode that reveals it all, clues you in, and suddenly adds clarity to the otherwise confusing plot we've been accustomed to so far. Did we get that? Sort of... but not really. Nothing Earth shattering was revealed and the stuff that was let out of the bag ended up creating only more questions.

Maybe I'm talking to the wrong person." - Larry Despite the minor complaints about this show that I think most people have been expressing, I tell you what -- it still holds your attention for the whole hour. I'm almost getting used to the fact that Damages has a

  I'm officially frustrated with Damages. It really is one of the best things on TV right now, but it has also knocked off Lost as the biggest culprit in terms of the questions to answers ratio. The one silver lining is that it's a cable show and rather than wait a full 22, we'll hopefully get some results in the final three episodes over

  Filed under: Pickups and Renewals, DamagesIt might be a possibility after all. Despite enduring through weeks of abysmal ratings, Ausiello is reporting that FX may actually renew Damages for a full 13 episode second season. For those of you that are scratching your heads, don't forget that this is the same network that plans to bring back Dirt

  Filed under: OpEd, Episode Reviews, Damages (S01E11) "You're a baptist, right Ray? Repent!" - Patty This was the first episode this season since the pilot where I really felt a tense energy. It's definitely because we're getting closer to the point when the past catches up to the future. We went from eight days away, to six, to two in this

  Filed under: Programming, Damages One of my older sisters is an attorney, and we've been talking about the new season a lot lately. She doesn't watch much TV, but she's really into legal shows (which stands to reason - I gravitate towards shows about writers) and she keeps asking me if I've seen the FX series Damages yet. I keep telling her that

  Filed under: OpEd, Episode Reviews, Damages(S01E12) "Ellen... I can trust you?" - Patty I think the best word to describe this episode was safe. Was it bad? No. However, it wasn't outstanding either. Then again, there is something respectable about giving your viewers exactly what they've been expecting all along. Of course, the inherent problem
