Don't post spoilers on no spoiler threads. It's not rocket surgery.

Spoiler tags were used, and used appropriately.

The (in his mind) dictator of the Entertainment board, doesn't get to tell someone what they can post on threads behind spoiler tags, that exist for a reason.

I'm very sorry, TCTTS, that you don't know how to work technology, and because you could not do so effectively, learned the ending of one of the highest grossing movies of 19fkn90.

I hate being spoiled too so you really need to think about putting spoilers on non spoiler thread even with tags.

I've already said, multiple times now, that the mistake was on me. So you can stop insinuating, for like fifth time now, that I'm some kind of idiot in that regard. Especially when I've already explained exactly how it happened.

What I still find ridiculous is that you wanted to start a conversation about it, on a thread where the majority of us had agreed, for weeks now, not to have that conversation. A conversation that could lead to other people accidentally spoiling things, seeing as that's happened countless times before on this site. Hence the reason we always have separate spoiler threads for adapted material. You of course say you're not responsible for those people, but I maintain that you being the one to start that conversation, on a spoiler-free thread, says otherwise.

All I know is that I don't think I've come across someone more antagonistically stubborn on this board, and that's saying something. It's not about defying my "rules" or me thinking I'm some message board dictator or whatever cliched nonsense you keep coming back with. You just seem like a genuinely spiteful and unfriendly person, which is even more surprising considering you're clearly on an island here.

It's not like I Redstone Lost'd this.

If you're that scared of seeing what happened (behind spoiler tags), in one of the highest grossing movies of 1990, and you can't navigate spoiler tags correctly, well then your answer is probably to stay away from message boards in general.

Dude. No one cares what happened 34 years ago.

I've now clicked on this thread at least 9 times thinking there was new discussion about the show.

My God. Move on children.

This thread sucks.

TNNCS and I have been allies for a little more than a year, since his OP of the alien thread here became one my primary threads.

I've come to appreciate his knowledge and integrity, despite our disagreements about religion. He posts in charity and a genuine curiosity.

Let's keep dialogue respectful.

The wife and I binged the 7 episodes over the last week. Thought I'd check out this thread for series discussion.

I'm sorry I did.

Finally got to watch a few more episodes last night (5, 6 & 7). Since Ep 7 has been out for a week I believe it's OK to discuss and not spoil!

I don't recall the main character representing himself in the old movie or book, but maybe he did ? I also don't recall him taking the stand

Either way, there seems to be some completely out of place stuff regarding cases like this.

For example, they presented text messages that the defense team seemed to have no clue about? How is that OK ?

Same with the video of him beating the guy up. If they planned to use that, are they not supposed to be giving that to the defense team? The excuse was something about Sabich not being on the witness list so this last minute 'evidence' was OK. NFW the prosecution had zero plans to use that video evidence at some point in the trial. Hell, the guy he beat up was in the gallery and the judge acted like she didn't know about it either. The entire prosecution angle was he was prone to angry outbursts and violence. For sure that evidence, and the "choking' of the medical examiner would be presented as evidence (why that ME stuff was not part of his questioning????).

Also, Sabich is a complete moron for representing himself. No sane person does that and while Sabich obviously has an enormous ego, he was already heavily involved in the case and could have let the defense assistant (Mya) take the lead while still being in control. Let her ask the questions.

I get the "it's Hollywood" angle, but goodness, keep it remotely believable. If this were a Godzilla movie, I wouldn't care, but it's supposed to be a serious crime thriller/drama show. It seems like the producers/writers are manufacturing drama for the sake of drama and not letting it come naturally. (IE the lead defense counsel Raymond collapsing was great, even though it was not part of the original movie IIRC).

I liked it for the most part at first, but it seems to have dissolved into a unbelievable mess with the last two episodes. I'll likely watch the last episode since I've already come this far.

Those are great points.

At this point, I hope he does get convicted.

I remember rooting for the protagonist is the original book and movie.

Why did they make him so unlikeable?

Unpopular opinion here…I don't really find Rusty that unlikable at all. The adultry makes him garbage for sure and I didn't like how he reacted when the wife said she kissed the bartender.

But episode in episode out I don't find him nearly as unlikable as everything I read.

---

You mean how he cheated on his wife, violently grabbed his wife, beat the **** out of that guy, attacked the coroner, has a bully/bullied relationship with his coworkers, other than that he's an ok guy?

I also strongly dislike him but the guy that came to his house absolutely deserved an ass beating

BECAUSE I ASKED MULTIPLE TIMES NOT TO POST *ANY* SPOILERS IN THIS THREAD.

And as the author of this thread, I feel like I have some say in that regard.

next level hubris right here. well done.

spoiler tags exist for a reason. 20ag07 did nothing wrong. get over yourself an inability to work a mouse

Sabich and the entire office would never have been on this case from the get go. enormous conflict of interest. it would have been handled by another county or the state.

the whole thing is unrealistic. very few legal shows are realistic and there is a reason for that. not nearly as entertaining.
