If they're agreeing to be employees, they've got nothing at stake if the company makes a profit or not. This is the conversation we should have seen:
"If you do this, our stocks will plummet!"
"Yes, and?"
"You might get fired!"
"Yes, and?"
"The company will go out of business!"
"Yes, and?"
"..."
Why would any of those things matter to them at all? But they act like those are real concerns. The deal that they're offered in "Home" made some vague kind of sense from their point of view. The deal that we're supposed to pretend they agreed to in season 5 doesn't. If they agreed to it, they're morons. Which is a simple solution, but I don't think it's the one that we're supposed to arrive at.

Well, except for the fact that law firms aren't allowed to sell stock.
Of course, they don't have CEOs either.

Well, law firms aren't permitted to be managed by non-lawyers, either.
That too.
I've even heard that most of them don't have science departments.
Although that last could have relatively easily been handled via the Gunn-style forged McLaw degree.
I think it ceased to be just a law firm, even in "Home." What with the esoteric research lab and all.
D'oh. X-post.
While watching Psycho Beach Party tonight, I was struck by the fact that Lauren Ambrose has been paired onscreen with Eric Balfour, Seth Green and Nicholas Brendon. It's a thing. I can't tell if this means that she's going to star opposite Alexis Denisof next, or whether it's inevitable for her to work with Joss some day.
No, she still has to go through David Boreanez and James Marsters
then
Alexis. Or maybe ASH and then Alexis.
Sounds kinda porny.
And you know, Miss Narrator was, at one time or another, not disinclined to look twice at him, either. *Cough*
I know not of what you speak, madam. ::innocent blink:: *cough*
