It would be extremely illegal as well as terrible and therefore surprise me. "Play dead" is one of the easier tricks a performing dog can learn (though they also needed to hide its fourth leg in the shot, which the dog in the flashback scenes obviously had).

Or look at the National Cancer Institute's website:

Really, really strongly implicit.

I think Daniel is someone who doesn't believe other people are always easily explained. Perhaps he thinks George misinterpreted something he saw.

By "substances" I include alcohol. Drunk, stoned, or both, Daniel wasn't keeping sober.

So much for the theory that Daniel was on to Trey's frame job (which wasn't my theory, which didn't seem like this show to me, but was I guess possible). Not only did he clearly ingest enough substances to make him sleep soundly through Trey peeling off, but he wasn't trying to keep his fingerprints off anything.

I don't think good or bad guy particularly. Chaotic neutral.

His insecurity is a little offputting, but (as a woman) he's certainly more attractive than Drew. Drew turned out to not be a bad guy, but he'd be a wearisome bro to live with. (And, yes, he's perfectly goodlooking if he's not too short for you. He might make an odd match with, say, Allison Janney.)

No, I'm not implying anything like that. I'm saying it's not surprising that, so far, Carl finds it easiest to continue to believe that Daniel is guilty.

Still, Carl has been the lawman in a town operating under that story his whole career.

Maybe. But Daniel is pretty damn drunk and stoned.

Oh, I'd forgotten that interaction between Trey and Carl. Thanks. Interesting.

This, a thousand times.

Isn't it lovely that Amantha is making a friend? A real actual friend?

Exactly. Daniel is the all-purpose suspect for everything. They're sure he's already a murderer, and he's got an obvious reason to kill the man who sent him to death row. They wouldn't have had any evidence he and George had met up—since they never did—but now there's a ton of evidence he's been to George's…

As far as we know George's body is still in the water, and Trey couldn't find it.

Oh, and Teddy. He does understand how his pressing charges would rip his larger family apart, especially his father and stepmother (alas that Senator Ass is going to go forward with it anyway). He does seem to have grasped that he gave Daniel too much reason to prove that a man who didn't want to be assaulted…

Oh Daniel. Trey got him to George's trailer and got his fingerprints all over the damn place. Trey's as well, I suppose, but he can always say he'd been there many times. Daniel's the real suspect when George's body is found, too decayed for forensics to determine that he was the one who shot himself in the head.

Then it's just me. I dealt okay with Baldwin replacing Yoakam (though he wasn't quite as creepy), but Mimi Rogers, despite looking more like her than I'd ever noticed, is no Mary Steenburgen. There's a light to Steenburgen's crazy; Rogers' depression was just depressing. I suppose you could say that's a more…

In this episode they were showing a Masters who was a gender essentialist by chromosome; further, one who identified with the XY baby and felt its upcoming castration against his own balls.
