In more than one of the scenes, she hadn't done ultra-basic stuff that you'd do when taking a case, or the earliest stages of prepping a case, let alone when you're appearing in bloody court!Like, I don't mind fairly wild liberties with court procedures or objections or whatever (though there is a limit), that's just how TV is, but don't make this supposedly fantastic lawyer look like she's either doesn't give a sod about herself or her client, or is just staggeringly dumb. Clearly neither is the case! You've told and shown us that she's a good lawyer, and now you're inexplicably showing her as thick and incompetent and careless?It was just weird and dumb and not even funny.The Star Trek SNW court episode was kind of insultingly stupid too, but in a way that Americans or people whose only knowledge of legal proceedings is US drama were unlikely to notice. I ranted about it at the time, but the idea that the Federation's court would use the doctrine of the Fruit of the Poison Tree (in the sense that they did, even naming it) was completely insane and very definitely the result of having watched Law & Order one time too many. It's not a doctrine a court of an organisation like the Federation is going to find acceptable. It'd be better suited to the Romulans or Ferengi.</blockquote>
