Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mort" data-source="post: 9051447" data-attributes="member: 762">Really liked that part of the episode and the other crew interaction parts.I was expecting a courtroom episode and, as expected, it didn't really hit for me. Since the thread is spoiler marked I will not use spoiler text, but there will be spoilers:1. Since "real" legal work is boring (for most people) they have to do the typical defendant's attorney rails at the court until they give in to the absolute brilliance. It's common but, for me, It's preposterous;3. I hate idiot plots that pretend to be smart.  Oona doesn't tell her own attorney she was the one who turned herself in (sure she has a bit of a martyr compex, but she wants to win this)? Her attorney, rather than being straightforward ambushes her own client on the stand? Come on. The proposed loophole was actually completely straight forward and should just have been presented to the court as a motion to dismiss. But that's not "good tv."The courtroom scene, especially the finale of it, was well edited and built to the conclusion just fine - but it was exactly the kind of courtroom scene that always rubs me the wrong way.Of course, this hit a combination of pet peeves for me - I can see how most people would enjoy the episode - it was well acted and directed.</blockquote>
