 Damages
I just had a marathon weekend of this. I love it. I also think it has some huge glaring issue i cant put my finger on, theres something very unfitting about it all, i think it may be that it tries to employ reality but the situation is so abstract it doest function on that level.
Glenn Close and Rose Byrne however are both incredible. Ted Danson needs to go.

 Re: Damages
There's something about season two I just don't like, it feels off. But I'm positive it's just because it's having to slowly build up momentum. It'll get there.

 Re: Damages
I'm now up to scratch with US viewings. Let the speculations begin!!!!
The problem with season 2 is that it didn't have a clear villain like season 1 did. But now that villain has been set up very quickly in the past two episodes, and Ted Danson is back, which is important.

 Re: Damages
I think season two is roaring along nicely, especially the last two episodes, which have been fully of terrific confrontations and crazy twists. I did NOT see the Frobisher thing coming. When the reveal happened, I made a loud squeal of glee.
Who's Ellen shooting? They are having such fun flash forwarding to that hotel room and tantalizing us with all the possibilities. Which is what these showrunners do best. Such astonishingly tight writing for a thirteen-ep serial.

 Re: Damages
I think Ellen is either shooting Tate Donovan or Timothy Olyphant for sure.

 Re: Damages
So it's Patty. Or, at least, she's in the room at some point.
The last ten minutes last night were stunning. And it's so great to have Frobisher back in the fray; as played by Danson, I think he's the most compelling character on the show. No easy feat!

 Re: Damages
This show is absolutely one of the best TV shows, ever.
I do think some of the twist setups of season 2 have been quite lazy, but i think the twist themselves have been sort of shocking.
