The Practice virgin’s diary – Another season five crossover … ratings getting desperate?

(Season 5, Episodes 15-16) It wasn’t the most fascinating or compelling case, but episode 14’s terminated teacher was left in the middle, with Ellenor essentially challenging Principal Steven Harper (Chi McBride) to a court battle. And the question of why Superintendant Marsha Shinn (Debbi Morgan) seemed to be gunning for her client also hung in […]

The Practice virgin’s diary – It’s time for Bobby to take a sabbatical

(Season 5, Episodes 13-14) It seems I’ve hit a snafu with FX and the network’s airing of The Practice re-runs. I’m not sure who they imagined would be watching at 7AM on Saturdays and Sundays, but apparently that crowd isn’t tuning in as enthusiastically as they’d hoped, because the network has pulled back from airing […]

The Practice virgin’s diary – How freaky would it be to get to see Ben Linus’ head in a freezer?

(Season 5, Episodes 10-12) Wouldn’t you know it, but William Hinks continued to wreak havoc even after his death. Michael Emerson is just too good. I mean, I know he was only reading the lines that someone else wrote for him, but he’s too good. Of course, had he been just a bit better he […]

The Practice virgin’s diary – Michael Emerson perfected Benjamin Linus long ago

(Season 5, Episodes 7-9) I’m completely not surprised to discover that Michael Emerson won an Emmy for his work on The Practice. Anyone who marvels at the character Benjamin Linus on Lost need only look to Emerson’s turn as William Hinks to see just how expert the actor is at this type of psychopath. And […]

The Practice virgin’s diary – The show continues to reveal the stable of stars to be cast on Boston Legal

(Season 5, Episodes 4-6) The Scott Wallace ordeal mercifully comes to a close, albeit an unsatisfactory one. Three members of the firm reveal surprises to us, and Jimmy astonishes me tremendously by finally being a standup guy. And Richard Bay’s head looks set to explode! 5.4 “Appeal and Denial” Continuing on the theme of judging […]

The Practice virgin’s diary – Murdering husbands, the EPA, and smoking crack for two

(Season 5, Episodes 1-3) I enjoy long cases as much as the next legal drama fan, but it’s generally only enjoyable when the case is so massive that it requires multiple episodes. The Practice seems to have found another reason for dragging these out: the lawyers just care too darn much. And it’s not even […]

The Practice virgin’s diary – Death row, AIDS, and the incredibly talented Marlee Matlin

(Season 4, Episodes 19-22) I can’t believe I’m halfway done with this series. There’ve already been a lot of reruns, although I suppose death row cases have to be respected enough to be done numerous times. But how many times do we have to be reminded that rape victims, or their families, do not have […]
