Oh, and I forgot..."Ed Argent" cracked me up. I wonder if they tried to get Ted Nugent, or if he's just too crazy to bother with.
I did expect Mac to have some more knowledge on animal rights activism. Her mother said she was a 'freakball vegan' in season 1. She went on a pizza-eating tour of town with Cassidy in season 2, so unless Neptune is overrun with places that make vegan pizza, I'm willing to handwave her veganism to vegetarianism, and assume her mother doesn't understand the difference, but still...
Finally, and unrelatedly, the, "Because monkeys are delicious," made my husband choke.
How does Veronica turning him in or not affect the colleague? Do you mean because they need to start over with a new monkey? If Veronica turned him in, would they still be able to use the same monkey? I'd think that having it outside the lab for a week might taint it in some way.
I assume the old monkey is tainted, too. Still, turning him in gets the colleague a measure of justice. She just had some period of her professional life stolen from her. It also removes any suspicion that she may nave been negligent in allowing the monkey to be stolen. Finally, it removes a guy who doesn't belong in the lab from the lab. Who's to say he won't fall in love with the next monkey, too?
I think it would be out of character for Veronica to care about the integrity of the lab. Veronica has been consistently portrayed as an animal lover, and she's a marshmallow, in general.
She would probably want boy!scientist to pay
if
he'd taken the monkey in order to ruin his collegues academic standing. I wouldn't have bought her turning him in once she found out he was a big bowl of mush that couldn't bear to kill his friend, the monkey.
I think she also naively assumed the whole thing was over, with regard to the monkey, because she looked shocked when the surpervising professor mentioned ordering a new one.
I just keep trying to come up with scenarios where the monkey is the Dean's murderer.
I felt Keith was totally off his game in that entire scene. It nearly had me watching from the hall. I like the fanwank I'm reading, about Keith being clunky on purpose. I shall take it to my bosom.
I just think that Keith is too savvy to be that obvious. I have a hard time believing that he didn't at least google Landry, which would have turned up Landry's book on profiling, which would have given Keith an idea that Landry would be more on the ball than the usual perp.
Seriously, am I the only one who thinks that Keith totally played Landry?
I got the impression that Keith had some kind of realization
after
he'd met Landry, since he took the case at that time. So I don't think he was intentionally clumsy in the bar, knowing how it would play out; I think he took the case when he realized that Landry would be a challenging target.

No, I totally think he got something off of Landry that Landry didn't realize he'd given Keith. Possibly the way that Landry called him on his "act" was some sort of tell to Keith.

See, I thought that Keith
was
intentionally clunky and obvious in the bar, to give Landry the impression that he (Keith) wouldn't be an investigative threat.
