Eli Stone::sigh::
This show was freaking awesome last year: George Michael singing on the coffee table, Seal mugging for the camera, and Loretta Devine belting her ass off.
This season, I get Katie Holmes in a reedy voice mangling jazz. Oy vey.
Eli and Jordan are trying to save their firm. Someone is leaking information causing them to bleed clients. They get a huge client who is doing a medical marijuana trial. The whole medical marijuana clinical trial story line…snooze. Although the dad reminds me of some of the parents at GRock’s soccer games. Folk love their soccer.
Jordan reinforces the stereotype that folk can’t dance. Damn he is stiff.
Ho hum.
Why did they make Taylor such a hard ass? Yes she’s pregnant, but Taylor has become such a one dimensional character. The chick from Species deserves much better.
Keith is too fine. I love his hair, flashy suits and the fact that he is a lawyer. Patti is a mess, threatening him so he can represent her daughter. She has the nerve to get caught on a DUI. Hello, designated driver? I can’t remember her name but she is the chick who always plays a girlfriend in ‘Urban’ movies*. Anyway. I would date Keith in a minute.
The premise of Eli Stone is that he gets a direct connection to God via visions. These visions come via things bursting into fire, people breaking into song, or like last season when Eli’s brother was a knight on a horse.
One thing about the show, it reminds me to pray more than I normally do.
Okay in a nutshell, this episode was really hard to get through. I tried watching it twice but I watched the cat get comfortable on my lap instead. Way more fun than this.
My observations:
Maggie and Matt having a conversation in the cafeteria? As if. Matt is or well was a slime. And nobody liked Maggie because she was such a dingbat.
The swimmer kid doesn’t have the cojones to tell his dad he doesn’t want to be in the study.
I have a girlfriend who would love to be a participant in a medical marijuana study.
Loretta Devine and John Slattery (I switched to a Desperate Housewife rerun) need their own channel. They both are outstanding.
Eli and Maggie should not hook up. They are Cybil Sheppard and Bruce Willis Moonlighting boring.
How did this case get to trial so quick? San Francisco must have the bomb court system.
Eli won his case. I hope they don’t drift into Law and Order Jack always winning with some nonsense ripped from the headlines bull.
Why does Eli and Jordan keep the mole on staff? I know this show has some biblical undertones, but dude was messing with the money!
Best line : I asked for an attorney in law, not a son in law. Patti to Keith after she finds out that he is dating her daughter.
