Eli Stone: Episode 5 "One More Try"

Ugh. Cliche's. I'm so sick of every TV episode of every show that features a Christian portraying them as the bad guys. Seriously, if they Portrayed Jews or Muslims in as consistently in a dim light as Christians on TV today as they do, the screams of anti-semitism and racism would be deafening.

And the conclusion to this was the most ridiculous one yet. Right or wrong, that document would trump anything. "What they intended" when they entered into a marriage no longer recognized by the state is irrelevant. Think of it this way: when a man and a woman get married, usually, the intention is to spend the rest of their lives together, and to share their lives and everything else equally. But you know what? If the couple sign a prenup? No judge in the freaking world is going to say "well, you do have a clearly legally binding document here, but it's clear that your intentions were to never use it, so I'm going to completely ignore it."

Bull crap. You can talk about right and wrong and gay rights all you want, but the law is simply about right and wrong. A serial child rapist who is acquitted can return to that courtroom ten minutes later and and confess everything, and he still can't be convicted due to jeopardy. He would walk away clean. You know why? Because the law has very specific rules, and good intentions or "the way things 'should' be" do NOT over-rule or supersede said rules. All in all, I like the over-all plot of this show, but the court cases are dipping further and further into the realm of utter bull-crap.
