Wonser De-Gbon as Sherry was really hot. I liked her role.

Obviously that happened when one of Agent Woo's close-up magic tricks went horribly awry, causing him to turn evil and become Moriarty. For my money the best Moriarty is still Natalie Dormer.

Molly was cute. I hope she gets actual lines in the future. Am I the only thinking that Sarah and Simone are going to hate-fuck at some point?

I predict the show will end with the cops arresting Colter for like 5000 instances of unlawful entry. Also, what was that movie/show being played TV in PJ's house?

I came into this late. This started over a Reddit post? Seriously? So if I'd posted that the Opiod crisis was started because Vampire Elvis took a break from using the pixie dust exhaust from his invisible, magic, UFO to try to use "chem-trails" to block the Sun, I'd have had Matty after his (obviously fictional) ass? That said, and make the story more interesting to me. I like the idea that she isn't some saintly heroine and that her quest for justice/revenge is likely going to leave a good bit of collateral damage inflicted on folks who don't deserve it. If Kathy Bates is starring in a TV show, I kind of want to see her channel a little bit of Annie Wilkes sometimes.

Did you want the show to spend a full year on "mean, weepy sorority girl accused of manslaughter?" I know I didn't. I wouldn't mind it if next year the show did a "Murder One" thing of following some twisty murder case from start to finish (with plenty of other, lesser cases sprinkled in). Right now, though, I'm a little more interested in "Matty solves the Opiod Epidemic" or whatever than in realistic legalese.

Honestly, if you're watching this show like it's Law and Order, you're watching it wrong. Matlock is basically an even goofier version of Boston Legal sadly without the eloquence of James Spader on his soapbox.

So maybe Billy and Sarah will both end up dating Simone?

I'm really hoping that we're not going to some weird relationship triangle between Billy, Simone and Sarah.

One thing I just found which is new, or at least, new me, is that Season Five did not start with Episode 1. It started with an Episode 0, which can be found here: https://play.history.com/shows/forged-in-fire/season-5/episode-0

Sarah reminds me a little of the Huntress from Birds of Prey. Sarah is extremely competent at being an assassin, er, lawyer, but incredibly socially awkward at almost everything outside of that.

Or Grandad got a baby-sitter. Or Alfie can be trusted to look after himself for a couple of days given that he's also a member of their conspiracy to avenge his mother. Meanwhile Sarah being a psuedo-Shakespearean villain with her quotes will never not be adorable and funny.

Sarah isn't a villain doing a monologue. This is more like an honorable formal declaration of war. Sarah became very vulnerable with Matty and revealed something deeply personal to her. Then, as a tactic to avoid discovery, Matty essentially betrayed Sarah in giving first chair to Billy. Meanwhile, I need to pay more attention. I didn't realize that Jason Ritter was Julian and not Billy (Holy Shit. Dipper Pines is almost 45). Also, Edwin Kingston is played by Sam Anderson AKA Holland Manners, the King of Evil Lawyers from Angel.

We also got Patricia Belcher from Bones and Sam Anderson from Angel.

I haven't actually finished 10.13, but I was mildly disappointed that neither contestant chose John Rambo's survival knife. It's a knife with a saw-back spine that was designed by actual human people to be used by other actual human people. No elves, no video game stuff.
