Suspecting the impossible.

Warning: Spoilers
The chapter might be misleading or a conclusion to the perpetrator depending on what do you believe.The acting & suspense is growing within the plot. Michelle Dockery is a giant on this series. So huge in her role that she eclipses the other stellar actors. Chris Evans is very convincing as a tormented son & father. And Jacob's depiction is truly conflicting. If he isn't the murderer he might just be one in the future. His remorseless attitude is appalling. For a young actor to embody this degree of deception is nothing but phenomenal. Wonderful build up to next week's end.
Fantastic Show

To be honest I started watching the show because there was nothing much else to watch.
But as soon as the 1st episode ended I wished that all the episodes were made available at once.
Really tense and twisty storyline. Fantastic acting all around.
Each episode was pretty awesome but had a feeling these last 2 episodes were gonna be something else.
This was a tense and riveting episode and here's hoping the final episode will live up to the standards the show has set so far.
Brilliant

One of the best episodes of court crime TV I've watched in a long long time. Just edge of your seat stuff. The acting is some of the best from everyone. There were some slow episodes throughout but this makes it all worth while. A brilliant piece of TV. Spine tingling.
By far the best episode of the season.

First review of this season causes it's really good. I think this episode got everything that take us to the edge and keep our heart pounding throughout the episode. Michelle dockery (Laurie barber) acting was incredibly captivating and every other actors as well. Enjoyed it thoroughly, this episode got me even more excited for the next episode.
chill in your spine episode

I just finished and writing this. this single episode is worth the entire series. brilliant tension and execution, theres no fight, no action, no drama, just emotions hitting you and so hard to an extent that you become breathless by the time episode ends...
Intense and Bloody Good

As we are slowly edging towards the finale, Defending Jacob returns this week with the trial which brings some truth to the table. Just as things were looking bleak for Jacob, the drama adds another twist which leaves things wide open for the last chapter next week. Episode 7 of Defending Jacob starts in the past with Andy giving advice to Neal on his first murder trial. As we cut forward to Jacob's trial, Joanna announces that Andy will her second chair during the proceeding. She then files a motion for the prosecution not to mention Jacob's grandfather during the trial.
As both lawyers give their opening statements to the jury, Neal explains that Ben used to bully Jacob which they believe caused him to take revenge and stab him three times. Joanna then gives a calm and resonate speech about Jacob's innocence. She explains how the fingerprint got there and that Jacob panicked when he found Ben. After reconvening to talk about the jury, the family leave but as they step out, Andy sees the same man from the blue Lincoln. With Duffy's help, he finds out that the man is called O'Leary and used to be a big gangster. Back home, Andy gets a call from his father who's in prison and wants to know how the trial is going. Andy refuses to say anything so William mentions Leonard Patz and asks him if he thinks he did it. Andy replies that he does. The next day, Ms Carlston from the state lab is on the stand. She describes the blood spatter on Ben and as Neal questions her, he shows the jury a knife which he claims is similar to one that Jacob used to own. Joanna objects to this new evidence before coming forward to cross examine the witness. She asks her if she was shown this knife by the DA office as a match. She admits having only been shown this one but no others. Derek tries calling Sarah but she ignores him after seeing the story he wrote shared online while Andy and Laurie discuss the day's events. Laurie reveals that she doesn't believe her son anymore after today. Andy tries to convince her that it is just a story and that he probably fantasized doing it because he was bullied. She insists though and tells him that they need to stop pretending. The episode ends with Patz crying and sweating while looking at his witness subpoena. He then turns the paper around and writes: "Dear Mr and Mrs Rifkin, I saw you on the news. Please forgive me, I have killed Ben." While the penultimate episode of Defending Jacob was still a little slow, it has finally moved the plot forward more with some serious revelations regarding Jacob. The scene where Derek read his story was quite tense and dark which added some needed substance to the drama. However, the episode ended with Patz admitting his guilt.

Leave the physics out of it!

Warning: Spoilers
Great show but the lawyer pretending she knows Physics when she clearly does not it's annoying.
Light is made of photons not electrons.
The fact that electrons like em radiation has a dual nature - wave and particle, it's another issue.
Just stick to the law and the murder enquiry!
Episode 107
