Damages – Patty goes ballistic; Purcell gets dirty and comes clean

I find myself waiting for that last scene in Damages, because I know we’ll get a few more clues as to how the season ends and who the shooter is. And wow, we sure got some in this episode. For anyone who hasn’t seen the show yet, I’ll wait til after the jump to go […]

Damages – Claire Maddox gets played

Before I get to my big revelation about Damages this week, I first have to say what a fabulous actress Marcia Gay Harden is. A friend of mine sat four feet away from her two days ago, watching her on stage with James Gandolfini and Jeff Daniels in God of Carnage on Broadway. That Harden […]

Damages’ Patty Hewes’ house of cards

Damages: I was wrong about Patty Hewes

OK, so I was wrong about Patty. After last week’s episode of Damages, I said that Patty would never take a hit for Uncle Pete the way he did for her. But this week’s episode proved me wrong. Or at least, I think it proved me wrong. Uncle Pete died, so we have no way of […]

Damages – Uncle Pete protects Patty

I had a feeling that there was more to Uncle Pete than meets the eye. Turns out he’s got a rap sheet a mile long: burglary, larceny, using neighborhood kids to run a numbers racket, you name it. But Patty’s been getting him off all these years. He’s her mother’s brother, and “the most loyal […]
