"Damages" renewed: two more seasons of Glenn Close-ups

This was one of the best shows!!  Loved every minute of it!!!

So next season here is an opportunity for a season long story line.  It starts with Ellen who is driven with revenge trying to take Patty down.  But little by little the revenge makes her more and more tainted and slowly she becomes more like Patty.  Willing to go too far and willing to cross the line.  In the end the cliff hanger is that she has Patty right where she wants her and the choice is she can either bring Patty down but to do it she has to cross the line in some ultimate manner.  It ends with us not knowing if Ellen chooses the way of Patty (evil) or good.

That leaves the third season to either develop a story about Ellen either teaming up with Patty as the evil duo because she couldn't bring herself to actually go through with the final ending of Patty as she realized she was just like her......OR......Ellen starts her own law firm becoming just as powerful using some of the very tactics as Patty but she just won't cross the "evil" line.  The goal of this new law firm is to directly challenge every single case Patty takes.  Constant good vs evil struggle.

How is that for a late day ramble?

These are great news!!! I love Damages.

and her name is Glenn Close? I really enjoyed this series with its unexpected turn of events at the end of each of episode. To know that two more seasons are in the works is simply bliss. Hope the writers (yes, I am thankful for the writers! Go Writer's Guild, you have my support) can maintain Damages' exceptional level.

I loved this show, too, and I'm glad it's coming back. I'm really sorry Ray Fiske died. I thought he was one of the best on the show. My own theory on why Patty hates Arthur so much is that eiother he 1) fathered that dead kid in the cemetery (meaning he and Patty have some secret history), or 2) he was somehow responsible for the death.

I can't wait for the nest season, and hope the strike doesn't hurt it.

Okay, here goes. Mysteriously not heartbroken over David's murder, Ellen discovers feelings for a yet to be announced character: Jodie. Jodie is a smart, witty lawyer who is new to the firm and is a winner with every case she touches. Jodie asks Ellen out to dinner to discuss a case they are working on together, and sparks fly. After dinner, they retire to Jodie's fashionable, yet contemporary apartment that oversees the serene waterway. Ellen finds comfort in Jodie's arms; however, in the morning, Jodie wakes to find a note from Ellen asserting distress and uncertainty about their romantic connection. Can they stay away from each other? Will Patty find out? How will this affect the case they are working together? Rumors fly around the office. Their attraction to each other is undeniable.

Okay, you'll never see this story line in Republican America, but what a great one it would be!
