A lot of Twilight Zone concepts are stolen from other, earlier Twilight Zone episodes. I mean, how many episodes are about a man (it's always a man) going back in time to try and change the past? ("The 7th Is Made of Phantoms", "Back There", "No Time Like The Past").

That does make sense, but in the first few episodes everyone treats Frank like some kind of master seducer/heartbreaker who goes through the female student body. I don't know if are meant to have forgotten about that by now or if they are trying to say that Laurel is much more attractive than the typical female law…

"YONKERS YONKERS YONKERS!!!"

I kind of like how the dummy in this one is just an ordinary criminal/gangster type and not the kind of supernatural abomination that you usually see in these kinds of stories. Unlike the dummy from the previous ventroliquist episode, this dummy just wants to rob people, get money, and have a good time. He's not…

Does Bonnie actually live with the Keatings or does she just have a key to their house?

I think the joke was that the medical examiner is an elite renegade practitioner similar to Annalise in that she relies on five randomly selected interns to handle extremely sensitive cases like that.

I think it also ties into the previous episode and this one, where Keating gets a self-righteous speech about how the justice system screws the innocent people and no one cares about getting the actual truth. This is the second time in a row that she has planted evidence to make Griffin look bad/guilty and it's…

I got the impression that Laurel was from a higher social class / a rich family and Frank is poor from that scene. Bonnie's comment made me think that the reason why she wanted Laurel to stay away from Frank was because she (Bonnie) didn't think that a rich girl like that would ever seriously consider someone like…

I think Rebecca's story arc would pick up after she gets her own episode. Maybe if she and Nate get together to work on the case that might give us more insight into her relationship with Lilah. Right now, she kind of reminds me of those suburban girls who think they are dangerous because they talk about gross things…

She is supposed to be a very good lawyer, so great that students would be honored to do unpaid labor for her firm for the hope that she can get her. Because of the structure of the show, the Keating Five have to be integral to most of her cases. Additionally, because this is a TV drama there is an over-emphasis on…

Are you sure about that? It sounds like flimsy evidence like that is exactly how the guy on death row from this episode got there. Annalise should know that considering that's what the entire episode is about - "sometimes people who tell the truth get screwed anyway, and that pisses me off". She couldn't possibly have…

Agreed.

This is probably the first time that Annalise's client wasn't either a total asshole or, er, the actual killer, right?

I think they honestly just need him to care about her as more than just a case in order to create emotional involvement. The fact that they are just strangers doesn't help, as well as Rebecca's minimal screen time and relatively bland personality though.

Maybe the monster is the one under the bed.

Annalise is a POV character and has had time to win the audience's favor. Sam is at best a jerk and at worst a murderer. We never get to see anything good about him and the show hasn't tried to get inside his head.

Heh, that might be why the class is always full. — it's a convenient place to take a nap, read for other courses, curate your porn collection on your laptop, etc. without having to worry that there's even a slight chance that anyone will ask you a question or try to make conversation with you.

I agree, it was bewildering that there were *no* other witnesses to the abuse besides the boy and his mother. Prosecutors in some jurisdictions have actually presented domestic violence cases without using direct testimony from the witness at all, through the use of medical reports and ER physician examinations, the…

He's just lucky that everyone in this universe is willing to spill all of their deepest darkest secrets — secrets that could destroy their careers or even their lives — to the first attractive man willing to stick his tongue down their throats. It would be funny if there was one episode where he has amazing sex with a…

Justification is an affirmative defense, which means that the defense attorney has the burden of proof similar to the prosecution's burden of proving the facts of the crime. If the judge precludes that defense, then not only can testimony relating to it be excluded but the judge will also ibar the defense attorney…
