But as you said, he also lost in the UK that I believe admitted more evidence. I think people are coming around on the US trial a bit. They 'won' in the courtroom by cherry-picking a jurisdiction and doing to Amber there what they had done to her in the press outside of it. There were jurors who believed he hit her (which should have made her win the libel case right there) but hated her more. One can point out that Johnny won but feel that it was a deeply flawed court case.

Not that you're asking for proof, but here's the Wikipedia entry related to the slang versions of fruit and fruit-related insults. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_(slang) But you are right in that it has been used for crazy and isn't as common as probably fruit or fruity. I think the 'alternative' epithet she chose is what made me think she was insulting his sexuality. But we're only on Hour 3 so time will tell.

Gina Rodriguez wasn't on Ugly Betty. So you're either thinking of American Ferrera, who was in Ugly Betty, Superstore and Barbie. (And who I also like). Or you're thinking of Jane The Virgin, a different telenovela remake, which is the show Gina starred in a few years ago.

Fruit and fruity is probably more common but fruitcake has also been a gay slur for almost 100 years. It likely originated because homosexuality was seen as a mental illness.

On one hand, I was entertained all seasons. The episodes seemed to go by fast and there were sufficient twists and turns to keep me guessing. On the other hand, I didn't love that the motive that set off the chain reaction to the murder wasn't revealed until the last episode. If anything, we should have known that there was a sexual assault earlier on even if we didn't know who perpetrated it. Heck, I didn't even recognize the guy when they brought him in. I didn't realize who he was married to at first. Of course, once I did, it was easy to piece together who the real killer was. I give the actor credit because the expression on his face when they said his credit card was used at the store made me realize he knew who had used it.

Sure but she chose '[homophobic epithet]*' as an alternative so there's definitely a theme to her insults. The thing we don't know yet is whether it's because he doesn't want to look at her vagina or if he actually is gay. *That edit was the board's software. It rhymes with lock mucker.

She had always planned on visiting those falls before she returned to the US and he knew that. In the meantime, I think he found a letter he may have written once upon a time asking her to stay. That inspired him to go after her and tell her he wanted to be her partner in both life and business. The thing I didn't get is the business of it all. From what I understood, even if he bought out the cousin's half of the ranch, they still would have money issues and it's why she needed the job back in Boston. If she stayed, how do they pay for it with their looming loan? The story was kind of meh but I did love all the glimpses of Argentina. It made me want to watch an Argentinian telenovela.

I thought this was the best episode of the season. I liked that the three main characters had stories of standing up for themselves/putting themselves first.

But that's basically what AI writing is. On short things, it's fine but the longer it goes on, the more obviously bland it becomes. It can get better with great prompts but that in itself is a skill and sometimes it's almost easier to just write.

I think that's kind of the fun thing about this show is that the characters don't necessarily have secrets but because they're just living their life, there are things that are secret from us. Either explanation as to why she calls him fruitcake will work.

Once someone pointed out that the old Frasier streamed higher on the platform than new Frasier, I suspected this was coming.

I think it depends on how long they've deliberated. If they hadn't been in there long enough to review the evidence again, then I think it's fair to ask them to try some more. But if they have... That was the defense attorney's position--that she had no incentive to kill him because more money came in when he was working. It's probably true that he didn't have a tone of cash if he didn't have life insurance but I bet that farm could be sold for a pretty penny. It appeared to be lovely. The sons claimed love and that's probably the case. There's also habit. And there's also probably money. They'd been married for a long time. It seems like she was a SAHM for all that time. Even if the house wasn't in her name, they were married when they bought it. Unless he had her sign some kind of postnup, she'd likely be entitled to half of its value and alimony.

Baxter is very political character and I think that makes him predictable in some respects and unpredictable in others. It was unpredictable he was a part of this but the reasons why he didn't tell Nolan or want to talk about it were very predictable. I think Nolan respects him but he's never going to know if Baxter will lead with idealogy, politics or self-interest. Me neither. Especially since it's not like large-scale attacks of that scale aren't exactly common.

I think it's the other way around. He's available for this because Bosch: Legacy was cancelled.
