Oh, man, yeah. That was just awful. I was sitting there staring at the TV completely frozen. That was some of James's best work, too- his argument with the Texas high court judges.
The saddest thing I've ever seen on TV was in the pilot of Alias. Her fiance's died, and they do this terrific sequence of the funeral to Peter Gabriel's "Here Comes the Flood," which is the saddest song in the world. They show her in her bedroom, listening to her answering machine tape with him- one of those embarassingly cute couples' messages- and they show her taping over it with a new message. It made me cry like a baby, and it was the first thing I ever really loved about the show. It was just so sad, and hearing her try and fake cheerful, while her voice is cracking with grief- oh, man.
