I finally watched it last night and though it was mediocre, I wouldn't say it was as bad as Imposter earlier in the season. I do agree that the actual prosecution of the guru was very weak and a lot more of the episode should have been devoted to that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412211079606886638.post-4884204143184597242017-05-19T06:49:01.456-04:002017-05-19T06:49:01.456-04:00The beginning up until the courtroom scenes were a...The beginning up until the courtroom scenes were actually pretty good in my opinion. And during the courtroom part, even, the tension between Barba and Rita was priceless, you could practically cut it with a knife. Other than that, and getting more hints at Miss 34B (which isn't Rollins and that physically PAINS me), this one was quite dull.

Apparently even Barba didn't think the information from Jack's wire wasn't string enough after the other recording came to light. Why he didn't challenge that in any way is a total mystery to me.

I think the problem is that they spent so much time on scenes that really didn't mean anything that the court scenes at the end were rushed. it was almost 10 PM when we finally got to the trial.

While I suspect it is, I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable sending a man to jail for years with the evidence presented in this episode. Maybe I missed it, because I was distracted watching this episode, but I was expecting the defense attorney to bring expert testimony on the validity of hypnotism.

Alex and Casey pushed Elliott and Olivia and, I think, made them better detectives for it. I don't think there was enough to convince 12 jurors beyond reasonable doubt because of how sloppy some of the evidence was presented.<br /><br />I have missed a few episodes Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384468098147926168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412211079606886638.post-50847943911914326522017-05-11T14:03:53.179-04:002017-05-11T14:03:53.179-04:00It was definitely one of the more tepid eps this s...It was definitely one of the more tepid eps this season. <br /><br />I felt because we had the previous accusation with near-identical wording used, there wasn't really any doubt.
