This show had a number of spin-offs, but two stand out because they were successful AND because they took some unusual liberties. One spin-off featured two characters that were guests on the original show. But if you compared the characters as they appeared on the original series to the way they appeared in their own series, you'd find they were pretty different. Strange, but ok. The other successful spin-off was VERY strange. The main character in the spin-off appeared in the original series in a dream sequence. His own show wasn't even set in the same decade as the original series! But so what. The main character of the spin-off went back to the original series as a guest, informing the original series regulars that in the future, cars and women have something in common: both are faster. Name any of the three series described in the above paragraph.

Seriously, enough with the rehashing. I have nothing new to add. Let's move on.

I'd be SHOCKED if neither of you has seen this. It WON BEST PICTURE, defeating Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Our main character is accused of murder too. That would make seven. She's pretty guilty too. But it's not really about guilt or innocence. It's all about the old razzle dazzle.

The woman who gave the speech in a foreign language is one of six women awaiting execution for murder.

As if Abe Vigoda would ever die.

It's a musical. The musical numbers all take place in the main character's head. A lawyer tapdances in court. Really? We need more info?

Correct, by the way

Ooh, I know this one! I think. Maybe. We're they kinda hot? I mean, not total babes, but kinda hands-on?

Yes

Cool.

Just as you say that one should not express his opinion as fact, I am entitled to call people on it when they express their opinions as fact. Allan made a statement of fact, not opinion. I'm simply pointing out that what he said was not a fact at all. If that makes me a spiritual elitist, that's a pretty backwards definition of the term.

I don't know exactly how SIT got pulled into this thread, but it appeared to be on - topic and skyrider didn't seem to object, so I guess it's on-topic. My first post was intended to be limited to how I thought TWI used SIT both as bait and as a kind of self - deception that was socially reinforced. Again, on-topic. Allan proceeded to challenge an aspect of my point, and I responded to him. Nothing more. Is that "Buzz Killington"? Maybe. I don't see it as my job to sustain someone's buzz, especially when I think that buzz is based on a spiked drink. All that said, this thread is seriously threatening to derail, so I'm sure no one will mind if I bow out for the time being. Peace.

I resent being told that I am stating something is fact when I specifically labeled it my opinion. I do not have to reiterate that it is my opinion every single time I post on the subject. I stated it clearly as I could. If you think something magical is going on, that's your opinion. You don't want to prove it? That's your prerogative. I'm not asking you to. But when I express my opinion and clearly label it my opinion, I don't expect to get lectured to about trying to pass off my opinion as fact. Clear? *** Further reflection: I am objecting to a comment that was not directed at me. My apologies to chockfull. I stand by what I said above, but not why I said it.

Yup

Allan, I am very proud of you for speaking in tongues. I'm sure you are able to document this miraculous ability, identify the language, prove you had no previous exposure to or education in that language, and collect your million dollars, right? Right. I thought not.

WW: I don't disagree with your critique of my post. I think I spoke for some people, while you probably spoke for most.

The lead actor in this 1970s series won an Emmy as best actor in a drama for his work. A few years earlier, the same actor won an Emmy for best supporting actor in a comedy... for playing the same character!

I just felt a need to reveal it and give folks an opportunity to question me. You guys have known me for years. It seemed right. That said, anyone not interested in discussing the topic is free to ignore it and me.
