it actually didn't bother me, because I lived through the Ally McBeal and The Practice years. I had to learn that if I wanted to watch the characters, I had to let the law go.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
But they called the PTO a judicial body! That's schoolhouse rock basic!
(and yes, I know I should let this go)

I know, but certainly not the worst. I remember in The Practice, two roommates who were opposing counsel would both work on the case at the dining table and discuss it.
But, I get it.

I know nothing about the law, but that sounds wrong even to me.
I just remembered this morning we get more Leverage tonight! I love it when my shows come back.

That's some good outrage, Perkins.
I was thinking about what bugged me about this episode, because it wasn't the legal stuff because all that slides right over my head not even mussing my hair. My problem is, I think, that I don't have a good handle on what the main guy's superpower is (also that I don't know his name, the only names I have picked up so far are Harvey and Lewis), and I have a feeling it's not me being obtuse, it's that the writers aren't sure themselves, because I thought I knew last week and then this episode just didn't fit what I thought I knew.

Is it Harvey - the attorney? Or Lewis? I think that Lewis (if that's the kid who didn't go to law school's name.) I thought his superpower was memory.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Anyone watched Necessary Roughness? That actress hasn't traditionally played characters I like, but I like this one, and am casually interested in seeing how it turns out. And Blucas is looking fine.

Was she the one on Rescue Me for a long time?

Yes.
And it is v. nice to see her playing somebody not so emotionally strung out.

Harvey is the attorney, Lewis is the other attorney that took the kid to play tennis, etc. I don't know the name of the kid who didn't go to law school. I thought his superpower was memory, too, and I guess he did sort of use it in chatting with Fantasy Football guy. Maybe that wasn't really my problem with the episode. I definitely had a problem with it, though I can't put my finger on exactly what it was.
