searchin’ my soul

In hope to get some inspiration for law school, I decided to watch an old-time favorite Ally McBeal.

Some thoughts I had while watching the pilot:

-It boggles my mind how Ally and Elle Woods (from Legally Blonde) both go to law school solely to salvage their relationships with their boyfriends (or ex-boyfriends)? It’s hard enough to even muster the will and drive to apply to law school, and these girls go (to Harvard Law, for that matter) for some guys? How Felicity of them…
-Jane Krakowski is in this??
-Their co-ed bathrooms always really freaked me out. Made me even more turned off at the thought of working at a law firm.
-The moment when Billy (her ex-bf) tells Ally that he’s married. Painful. So painful.

I watched this show back when I was in high school, and all I remember was that it was the first time I saw Robert Downey Jr., and I absolutely adored him as Ally’s bf Larry. I still remember that bittersweet snowman scene.  And when I read that they would’ve ended up together (and they would’ve gotten married in the finale) if it wasn’t for Robert Downey Jr.’s drug addiction at the time, I was so heartbroken. Robert Downey Jr, you are so selfish! Letting your drug addiction get in the way of my young, hopeful heart… how dare you!

Sigh… what could’ve been…
