[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 9051564, member: 6988941"] I mean, I completely agree, but I guess I've just come to accept that any extended courtroom scenes on movie and tv will always be preposterous. As far as Star Trek trials go this won points with me simply by having actual legal professionals on both sides. Overall it was fine. Not a favorite episode, and I understand why they stood on their head to not make it the season opener. But probably above average for a Star Trek courtroom episode, and court/trial episodes are (for better, and worse) a semi-obligatory part of the franchise at this point. I was disappointed that they didn't play a little more with the ambiguity of whether her famous lawyer really cared about what was best for her client vs. making a landmark case for her cause, which was the only bit of "legal drama" that really rang completely true to me. The downside of episodic Trek is they had to fully resolve everything by the end of the episode, so defense lawyer has to be firmly in the good-guy column at the end. But the upside of an episodic series is that, rather than having this legal drama I am ambivalent on linger on through half a season, we'll be back to jetting around having fun sci-fi adventures next week like none of this happened. But, since it's [I]Strange New Worlds[/I] rather than Next Gen, they probably won't take that imperative to such an extreme that we get no character growth from the experience. [/QUOTE]
