Heya all!

Tonight? Peter and Jared ask for Hanna's help in the court martial of two sailors charged with assaulting personnel, but Jared and Peter don't realize there is an ulterior motive that Hanna has in mind. Meanwhile, Pindar settles a dispute between co-owners regarding the virtual business they own. 


We just had the hottest day of the year so far in my neck of the woods. How about you guys?

Squeeing, fangirling and fanboying down below. :D

My thoughts on this episode are many and I'm not exactly sure where to begin. As to the timing of it, I guess they had to allow Hanna time to accumulate 52 pages of "evidence" against Peter and Jared only to delete it when she realized she was exactly like that female navy captain--she set them up to fail. But, unfortunately, that begs the question of why make them equity partners in the first place.

Also, where did this idea come from that it's morally wrong to sleep with someone from work. I get if you say "sleep with me and I'll give you a good performance review" or some such, but two consenting adults should be allowed to do whatever. As long as there's no coercion or abuse of power, it should be ok. Having said that, I didn't sleep with my husband until I'd left the firm we'd both worked at but I might has well have because everyone thought we were going at it.

I guess I'm liking that Hanna is doing stuff with Peter and Jared because it gives her something to do. She was in jeopardy of becoming a plot device like Carmen is.

Damien was interesting. I mean, seriously, think about it. You've seen this hot young woman a couple of times at a strip club and she shows up at work!!! OMG, what is happening!!! is exactly the right reaction. I like that they have Damien be shy around people who openly profess to desire him (Lance and Alyssa). It makes for an interesting change to the face he generally presents to the world (or tries to).

I liked that Damien was a bit hurt when Alyssa said she wanted to explore family law at Infeld Daniels. Like, did I just gamble and lose big time? I just hope they don't warp the whole thing so this one indiscretion comes back to bite Damien in the ass. He's made a mistake and clearly knows it, because he and Alyssa are planning to hook up once she moves on. Let's let the morality clause story line die here please. Pretty please.

Pindar and Stanton are yawn worthy, sadly. Other than that story line, decent show.

I think it's a fairly standard thing? Because, even if there wasn't, like, obvious favoring or disfavoring or coercion or anything like that there's still a chance that someone outside of the relationship could see it that way or someone in the relationship could use it as leverage against the other person by claiming that the coercion or whatever actually was the way it did happen.Maybe?

I desperately need Hanna to be more amazing in her own right with her own story lines. Possibly with Carmen if Carmen isn't going to get her own story lines. I mean... if Pindar can get story lines... *sigh*
