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.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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.

What is even happening?
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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Methinks Keith was faking his "faulty computer knowledge." No way can the guy be a top notch PI and not know computers nowadays.
Keith should also know that if they wanted to, that degaussed tapes aren't necessarily useless. At the very least, there would be and attempt to recover from the digital tapes.
Also, one of the first things one would thingk the prosecution would have done is make a DVD set off the tapes. Sounds fishy.
Maybe Leo will turn out to have another copy...

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The whole episode is of the not-sense-making.
Why steal all the tapes, when you can get good money for just 1? Why did they call Keith when Meg died? Why put in all the confusing and not entertaining lines? Why did Lamb take off his shirt?
All the characters were posessed by insane trolls.

Strawberry disappointment.
Wallace. Yay!
Meg. Waaaah.
The Mars' family Christmas. Yay!
Everything else in this episode was meh off an UTTAD's back.
