So … I think this episode of Damages can be summed up in this quote:
“Take this from me. Don’t engage with her. You step in the ring with that woman, she will cut your balls off and jam ‘em down your throat. My advice … when she straps one on, bend over, bite down hard, and just take it. Anyway, good to see ya!” - Arthur Frobisher to Walter Kendrick
Other stuff that popped out at me:
Walter Kendrick is still reminding me of Tony Soprano. Come to think of it, Patty is sort of like a female Tony Soprano. When those two stare each other down, it’s like Tony times ten.
What’s their game, Patty and Walter? First, she slanders him on national TV. Then he sues her for defamation. Then she makes a deal to donate to his environmental charity (in West Virginia, no less). Then Patty sues him on behalf of “a major UNR shareholder….”
What?! Patty is working with Frobisher? Mind-twist.
The cop with the beard and glasses seems like some demented, evil guy who lives in his mom’s basement and plays Guitar Hero all day. But we know now that he killed David for Frobisher. Right?
Claire Maddox wears a garter belt and “stockings”? Really? People still actually wear those things?
And is Claire a slut, or what? She starts out the episode sleeping with Daniel Purcell, then sleeps with the tattooed guy. Oh, and those garter belts.
Someone needs to give Rose Byrne a sandwich. She’s scary thin.
The FBI guy with the wife troubles. Why does this keep coming into the picture? Does it play into the plot, you think? Because I really couldn’t care less about this guy, and it’s just irritating. He’s not a major player, after all.

What’s your point in saying “in West Virginia, no less”???
I’m pretty intolerant of West Virginia slams.
*POST AUTHOR*
Alex – That wasn’t a slam on West Virgina (my mom’s from that area, so I’d be in trouble if I dissed it). I was just commenting on the fact that Kendrick’s UNR was creating all those chemical issues in West Virginia, so their solution is to throw money around there to make it right (rather than fix the original problem). Or rather, Patty’s money, in this case.
I thought this show was alot like the Sopranos as well especially this season which seemes to have someone get wacked every episode. Wes killing the guy in the car and the dirty cop killing the other dirty cop were both very Soprano like wackings. Just the way the scenes were done. The dialogue is Soprano-esque as well. The cold “Sue the bitch” line or Frobisher’s bend over speech just seem to continue to make this the Sopranos in a law firm.
I would have no problem with Claire Maddox being a slut if her face didn’t look like it was hit by a bus. Jesus how much botox did MGH have injected into face?! Its distracting!
Another distraction is Darrell Hammond because the way he is presenting himself is making me think he is going to bust out a Clinton impression. Though I am curious where he is going in the product placement Escalade.
