I said Verbal was Soze, how am I overthinking it?
I guess that's the explanation for all the killers getting caught and it makes Columbo pretty lucky. It's just strange that coldblooded killers who are able conceive such complicated plans would make silly mistakes like that.
I don't know, I find that scene kind of annoying (although I have to admit I feel that way about every "gotcha" scene even though I love the show).
I find it difficult to believe he would make such a mistake, especially after being badgered by Columbo. And he could've easily explained it away by saying he just grabbed a random camera or that he recognized what kind of camera it must've been.
A few days ago I wanted to look up an actress I saw in a Diagnosis Murder episode. Unfortunately I had to go to IMDb.
But like I said, Wikipedia doesn't always show the complete filmography of an actor or director or the cast list of a movie or tv show, especially not individual episodes.
I first go to Wikipedia but if that doesn't show a complete cast or filmography list, I click the link to IMDb.
Steve Avery obviously.
I would have no trouble convicting the guy.
Because otherwise it's as clear as day that he killed her.
Because there was loads of evidence pointing to Avery! Do they need to investigate every person in the world??? Stop buying into this bullshit.
Colbert is absolutely pathetic.
I'm gonna go with Monica:
That's not even a word...
Not when you use it to keep a little girl's cat or to get a guy's phone number or the last muffin. Her mother had been dead for 20 years or something, that's not a mature way to deal with it. She knew Ross was right, that's why she eventually returned the cat.
Rachel proposed it, Phoebe wholeheartedly agreed with it.
Hey, I simply disagreed that Ross was as manipulative and mean as you made him out to be and pointed out that Phoebe was worse. You don't want to discuss it? Fine by me.
He wasn't right to tell her that it's ridiculous to basically steal a cat from a little girl because of the silly belief it might be a reincarnation of her mother? If he had been "supportive" like the others she would never have given it back. He was just trying to make her realize that the cat belonged with the girl and not her.
Phoebe even admitted she could be wrong. But even if she was 100% convinced it was her mother, she should've admitted she was acting egotistical and immature by wanting the keep the cat from her owner. But instead she whines about her trauma (which she only ever brings up when she wants something) to make Ross feel bad about telling her the truth. In the end she actually does exactly what Ross told her to do, but only after turning the tables on him and making him out to be the bad guy. Not only does he have to apologize to her and the cat, he also has to acknowledge that it's her mother, even though it goes against his own beliefs. It's ridiculous. She was in the wrong.
If there's no excuse for Ross' behavior, then there's also no excuse for Phoebe's behavior.
Again, I said she used her childhood trauma to gain sympathy, not that it was an example of her bitchy behavior. But it was pretty bitchy because she knew that the cat belonged to a girl and knew that it most likely was not an a reincarnation of her mother and only returned it after a lot of whining and fussing, while making Ross feel bad about being a realist.
Un-bitchy? How about immediately returning the cat and admitting Ross is completely right and that she was acting way too emotionally and immature.
I'm "stubborn" and on "team Ross" because I don't have some irrational hatred of Ross that's based on nothing more than some weird notion that he isn't "honest about his feelings"? Wow, you sound just like condescending Ross! All I did was disagree that Ross was the manipulative and mean one on the show.
Based on your agreement with that (pretty sexist) article, I can only assume you have some obsessive adoration for perfect goddess Rachel. How dare the writers give her a happy ending with Ross! She and Joey are the super couple!
Not the kind of irrational hate displayed by the author of that article. Because he isn't honest about his feelings a handful of times throughout the show? Really. Just forget about how the others lied and cheated....
What I said is that she used her childhood trauma to get sympathy. She was a total bitch for wanting to keep a little girl's cat because of her ridiculous belief that it was the reincarnation of her mother. She knew fully well what she was doing, but somehow it was okay because her mother committed suicide. She and the others made Ross feel bad and guilty simply for stating the truth.
This guy can't control himself when he's eating and he's afraid that Trump can't control himself...
Well, she's clear evidence that there is.
How about that ridiculous episode in which Phoebe wanted to keep a girl's cat because it was supposedly the reincarnation of her mother. And everybody made Ross out to be the bad guy because he told her the truth. She even used her mother's suicide to get a guy's phone number and the last muffin. There are several moments like that throughout the show.
Never said Ross' "scheming" was okay, but Phoebe was way more often bitchy and manipulative than any of the others. I certainly don't see why he should be singled out.
That link is ridiculous, the author sounds like a special kind of snowflake. I could hardly make it through the paragraph complaining about laugh tracks. Talk about whiny and pretentious. It seems all hate for Ross goes back to him having "wronged" Rachel and that he doesn't "deserve" her. Well, they completely ignore all the crap she pulled. Ross isn't honest about his feelings? Hmm, how about Rachel not being able to make up her mind about how she feels about Ross? She only seems to want him when he's unavailable. So you either accept that's part of a romantic comedy that was stretched over 10 years or you simply don't watch the show because you would have to be constantly annoyed by BOTH their behavior. Why the different standards? So it does have to do with gender???
For the life of me I never understood any hate for Ross. Call him whiny, the guy did get screwed over one too many times and did not exactly have luck on his side.
Ross continuously insulted Chandler? He used a childhood trauma to get sympathy from his friends? He berated his friends for not living up to his morals? That doesn't sound like Ross at all.
Chandler was sarcastic and self-deprecating. He insulted himself much more than others. Although he did have his jerky moments, just like the others. No idea what gender has to do with it.
