I'm glad there's someone else in this law firm that is capable of sneaky detective work and playing their cards close to the vest. It was getting annoying to me the way Mattie would just run roughshod over everybody with her 'ah shucks' demeanor. Please tell me that someone in makeup had that former juror wear his hair like that just for the show. He looked like a relic from a Great Gatsby stage show.

Maybe, just like the old joke about the man smuggling red wagons, they're actually smuggling tanker trucks across the border.

I'm guessing that the other diners nearby were not so impressed. Is pathologically scrupulous Will going to count the turns and measure the time traveled out to the retreat to figure out where it is?

And then be lectured by Scola. Heh. The bad guy douses the van with gasoline, lights it off, and Maggie is almost immediately rescued by OA and the team. Yet, they can't find the bad guy who couldn't have gotten very far. The eco-terrorists are pissed off about the destruction of Earth by fossil fuels, so they drive their van to the heist and their RV out into the woods to plan their big raid. I noticed Maggie ditched her nose ring when she got back to the office. Must. Be. Professional.

Within 1 minute of a fuzzy photo from a CC camera, the War Room has every bit of data on the subject, right down to his Little League batting average and his term paper in high school.

"We need to know more about James Whitmore." (me): Well, he was a veteran actor, born in 1921 according to his IMdB page, and had many parts in many movies, most recently in "The Shawshank Redemption." Unfortunately, he died in 2009 so I'm not sure what the writers were thinking.

Betty is currently in negotiations for the new season, including more sweaters and her choice of food.

That's always been my opinion too. The prosecution doesn't go to trial without enough evidence to convict, because it's just too expensive to run a trial, especially a high profile one (OJ, among others, excepted). The prosecutor knows the defendant is guilty, the defense attorney knows it, the judge knows it, but the process has to be observed. That's why plea bargains are so common. The only wild card is the evidence that either gets admitted or doesn't.

What was the purpose of dropping Holme's ring in the glass of liquor at the end? Irene, could you have possibly made Angus a bigger target for bullies than buying that style of eyeglasses? At least the actor is better than the kid who plays Alfie on Matlock.

There is an old prison ballad called The Grey Goose, about a goose that,even though shot, is impossible to cook up and eventually escapes. That's all I know.

I know it's standard in TV lawyer shows, but, having never attended an actual trial, I am curious as to some of the courtroom behavior. Do attorneys really try to drop in bombshell evidence with the excuse of "It just came to light yesterday, your honor"? I thought the defense always had time to review the evidence or testimony. And I'm pretty sure they don't get to rant and accuse without an objection from the other side, too. Is that correct?

Did the writers ever stop to think that Colter left his truck at the scene of the breakout, and was traveling around with Detective Brock the entire time?

And they just died in a mysterious car crash conveniently located near the transplant hospital. And they had a donor tag on their driver's license.

The Captain was probably thinking "She's freakin' pregnant? Where are those orcas when you need one?"

I guess somewhere in between there is "Wait till next episode." That's all I can do.
