    I thought last weeks episode involving Big Tobacco was much more effective. Not that the drug companies should get off scott free but the arguments don't hold the same weight. We'll see how this works out going forward.



    The rape case seemed a little contrived in the courtroom procedure. Jerry got a little to carried away in his cross examination. He is almost belligerent where Melvin the plaintiffs attorney was smarmy but not belligerent. Katie's argument was OK but didn't have the kick I thought to bring that kind of judgment.



    Shirley's granddaughter Marlena is a little out of the box. You have to admire her spunk but at the same time she acts sort of stupid for being so smart. This was an interesting case though and Carl's part was well done and I always enjoy the judge that tried that decision.



    The scene at the end with Denny and Alan was better than last weeks because it had some genuine emotion and humor to it. Denny, "Of all the women I've loved and have loved me. Who would have believed Alan Shore was my Prince Charming?"



    Not as good as last week overall though. Thanks for reading...
