I got the feeling that the writers wanted to wrap up the Keith storyline ASAP and move on. So, in that respect, I give them a lot of leeway. The only issue for me is if Kendall is really dead. If I don't see the body with the head cut off, I'm not sure if I believe death happened. This is a Buffy residual.
My only quibble (and this is a professional one) is with the prison experiment. First, the experiment as shown never would have been approved by an institutional review board (a group that reviews research on humans and animals) in any college or university. And faculty couldn't have done it without IRB approval.
Second, psychologically, there should have been some residual bad feeling from the urine-soaked prisoner and the crazy abusive guard. It wouldn't have permeated them to the core, but neither party would have been able to so easily dismiss the other's behavior nor their own.
I can set the above aside because this is a tv show and not cinema veritas. This did not disrupt my enjoyment of the show.
Because we'd just discussed the Standford experiment a couple of weeks ago, I handwaved through that stuff too, le nubian. Still, I would have liked to see Horshack taking tainted notes for the other kid.
it's not just here. i just feel like people nitpick things that are pointless sometimes. i certainly don't expect people to not post something simply to avoid ruining my enjoyment. i was just venting.
tiggy, do you think that might be happening because people are worried about the fate of the series?
I suspect (know) I'm judging it extra harshly, because I'm so afraid it's going to get the boot. As far as my personal enjoyment goes, I don't care too much about the V/L stuff I went into in great detail about above. I've come to the VM table for a hundred reasons and V/L is a small percentage thereof. I care about it in the sense that I think, "Hey, there's this element that might grabe new folks and you're just letting it sit there." It's not that I love the show any less, I just keep watching the show and wondering why anyone who didn't fall in love with the series already would fall in love with it, now.

Well, I ain't enjoying it so much, if last night's episode is any indication, so I don't want to impede anyone who may!
Perhaps an episode that is not full of
torture rape murder anti-semitism horrible wigs singing Greeks
and has more, say,
Weevil
might turn things around for me!
I know. I thought Weevil was coming back last night, and felt all kinds of lonely when he didn't.
I suspect Keith either got the paperwork in the house or was given the paperwork to hold for safekeeping until the brothers thing could be resolved.
Yes, this. Again, Kendall was smart enough to turn her money into a painting that wouldn't be recognized as "steal me". I can see her going a step further and giving Keith the paperwork as extra insurance. It could very well be that when Keith went out to get Cormac's paperwork, he was also getting the paperwork for the painting for Kendall.

I have never purchased a million dollar painting, but I would imagine that part of the paperwork is proof of ownership. Would a museum/auction house/whatever really accept a painting from Keith if he couldn't prove that he was the owner?
I realize that this is a nitpick, so I'll stop now.
I don't even understand what nit you're trying to pick, Jon. Since Keith had the paperwork, he either got it from Kendall before she died, or knew where she had stored it, and retrieved it, after. If she bought the painting (most likely), she got the paperwork at the time, right? Where's the nit?
I think Jon's saying the paperwork would have cited Kendall as the owner, not Keith.
Oh. Okay. I'm sorry. Well, that they set something up in advance isn't inconceivable, so that stuff doesn't bother me. It's not like the first girl to be En-slayerized being bound by metal chains.
