Damages

All you lucky kids with televisions attune to FX last tonight got to watch the season premiere of a show I thought would never come back. When Damages finished its first season in October of 2007 I was just coming off a stint of 2 weeks jury duty, walking into the jungles of my thesis, perhaps beginning Battlestar Galactica and beginning a long and arduous process applying for the program I’m currently participating in. Watching Glenn Close shoot and flip masks from sensible lawyer head of her own firm to crazed and manipulative warrior was a literal thrill. Sitting on Erica’s couch with a cup of tea (or a coffee from Hudson Bay), a bowl of cereal (or a burrito), and pressing play on the DVR player to watch Damages was a highlight I’d forgotten about. Until now. I hope you all enjoyed it. I will watch it as soon as I can.

Damages could’ve been on the 24 list. The series premiered on July 24, 2007, my birthday.
