I felt oddly pandered to there.
Like, they're usually not so, uh, naked about it? Yeah, that scene was really off in the interaction between the two, too.
As I'm reading the TWoP boards I'm remembering all the other "off" things. Like Veronica's reaction to anything Duncan did.
But I chalk it all up to the timing of the episode.
The only scene I liked in this entire episode was Logan erasing the tapes. The Meg thing continues to be weird and unbelievable. The trial storyline had me yelling at the TV for reasons bon has already mentioned.

I kept expecting his pants to come off. That was a S6 Spike level nudity threat.

I was very disconcerted by the way he kept grunting and staring at his muscles in the mirror. And not in a good way.
I think they had Veronica's jury go from acquit to convict as a reversal of the 12 Angry Men trope, although legally it's shaky and I was a bit confused at the beginning as to what they were trying to do. And I yelled at Keith for tampering.
It would have been nice if Veronica had at least lampshaded the 12 Angry Men with a pop culture zinger. Or maybe I missed it.
The tape stealing was lame, and pinning it on Leo was even lamer. I suspect A. Echolls will get significantly less time as a result (maybe just on the attempted murder charge) and be out of prison by mid-S3 or early S4. Which could be kind of fun.
Recappy-review is up in my LJ. I'm taking Plei's position re sh*rtless Lamb (the actor looked nice, but it squicked me, just the same, he needs to stay unattractive, thanks). Buffy seems to have liked it, which sort of ties into the season 6 Spike comparison, now that I think about it. Anyhow, the recap is here: [link]
I loved your recap, Cindy. And I'm just a little concerned about your mental health.
Oh, you're so sweet Wolfram, but don't be. I got rid of it a long time ago.
And I yelled at Keith for tampering.
Was it Keith that did it? From his lack of computer knowledge, I just assumed that Mac had put that on there. Which confused me, but hey.
It was totally Keith. VM's voiceover and Keith's little smile clinched it.
