The magic of television and the far-reaching imaginations of the writers/show-runners.

ITA, but in fairness to the bartender, the show cast a 25-year-old actor to play a 16-year-old kid. That's stretching the boundaries of realism much too much.

Given Nick's personality and his demeanor toward his subordinates, I found it hard to believe he would even consider dating a defense attorney with a personality displayed by slimy Kate.

Yes, that is what I was referring to.

Well, I believe that was a television first. At least it was for me.

It was good to see Ann Kelsey (Jill Eikenberry) again. Last year, I binge-watched L.A. Law.

Found this by Googling: TV actors, depending on their role and contract, can be paid a daily rate, by the episode, or through a combination of these methods, with potentially extra compensation through residuals and backend points, especially for stars. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Initial Payments: Daily Rate: Many actors, especially those with smaller roles, are paid a daily rate for the time they spend filming. Per Episode: Series regulars, those in recurring roles, and guest stars are often paid a fee per episode, which can vary widely depending on the show's budget and the actor's experience and status. Weekly Rate: Some actors are paid a weekly rate, especially for longer-term roles. Additional Considerations: Union Agreements: Most network television actors are covered by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), which sets minimum rates for various roles and provides protections for actors. Negotiation: Actors, especially those with established careers or strong agents, can negotiate for higher pay and better terms, including backend deals and residuals. Residuals: Residuals are payments actors receive beyond their initial compensation for the use of their performance in reruns, streaming services, or other formats. SAG-AFTRA calculates residuals based on a formula considering the actor's contract, time spent on the production, the production type, and the market where the show appears. Backend Points: Some actors negotiate "backend points," which means they earn a percentage of the show's or movie's profits, allowing them to continue earning money from a show or film's success. Other Income: In addition to their initial pay and residuals, actors may also earn money from merchandising, appearances, signings, or other activities related to their roles.

Just found this article re: Bobby's absence: https://bitl.to/48kb

This show is getting farcical. I think I'm also done.

I'm having the same trouble. I watch and like practically all the legal-related shows and this one just doesn't hit the mark for me.

On another note, the father of the baseball pitcher with the eye injury, thinking his son will be pitching in less than a week should read this: Herb Score, a former Major League Baseball pitcher, suffered a severe eye injury on May 7, 1957, during a game against the New York Yankees. Details of the Injury: During the first inning, Score was hit in the face by a line drive off the bat of Gil McDougald. The ball struck Score between the nose and right eye, causing extensive damage. He sustained a fractured orbital bone, retinal hemorrhaging, and damage to his eyelid. Recovery and Aftermath: Score underwent emergency surgery and spent nearly three weeks in the hospital. Despite the severity of the injury, he made a remarkable recovery and regained 20/20 vision in his injured eye. However, the injury affected his pitching career, and he never reached the same level of success he had before the accident. Score continued to work in baseball as a broadcaster and commentator until his death in 2008.

Here's a good writeup re: Langdon's firing: https://bitl.to/47Gs

Should the chief position open up, wouldn't Severide be the next in command choice? IMHO, Herman should never be in charge.

I had the same thought. It could have been an underage sexual encounter with them that he's trying to pass off as "she was looking out" for him. The vomit scene was disgusting. He didn't even run the water to clean the sink.

It seems that they need multiple kills every episode. This was a really poor episode. Very likely, as he usually plays a bad guy. When I first saw him this episode I thought he'd be involved somehow. On another thought. How did Renee and her "boyfriend" get to NJ so quickly?

There's a good article here re: the attack and its aftermath: https://tvline.com/interviews/the-pitt-episode-9-noah-wyle-interview-nurse-dana-evans-attacked-explained-1235413160/

In the world of Dick Wolf & Olivia, anything is possible, although not necessarily realistic.

Olivia when the verdict goes her way. Boy do I hate her.

Previews for next week said he's dating a defense attorney

Or not!

The majority of the Herman-centric episodes are boring because he's an idiot. Also, can someone explain the car crash scene? How did the dead guy get under the passenger-side tire?

"your name is Marie" It was a very touching episode.

The inspector looked like a Groucho Marx clone.
