as someone who has worked in courtrooms and actively is in law school i. i just have to talk about the cleo v doc case.

i finally got around to watching doc's entire POV after being too busy. i saw clips over and over again that were just calling my name. and oh boy did the full vid not dissapoint. my mouth was wide open the whole time in both shock and laughter. surprisingly, some of the proceedings of the court were accurate to typical US court proceedings!

here's a list of events and actions that stood out to me for their questionable realism:

- skizz's opening line was pretty accurate to how most plaintiff/prosecutions begin -"your honor, opposing council, members of the jury"

- most courts don't let you... submit evidence in opening statements but i love the hustle skizz!!

- honestly skizz's entire opening statement would have had a jury on his side

- but no jury? this would be a jury case

- honestly joe's baby defense i could see playing out in court

- joe really held up the batshit defense arguments stereotype and i love that for us 🧡

- arguing in opening to have the case dismissed... baby that time has passed. not even discovery can save you now

- i get the feeling neither joe nor doc knew the plaintiff was going to call witnesses which is not only major illegal but also so fucking funny

- this is the type of questioning a proffessor would show what leading a witness looks like

- literally during both of joes cross' i was crying it was so funny

- also ren's "i cannot recall" yeah!! that's good.

- should have brought up husband status

- skizz. please. it is not "disposition". beef did not give you a "disposition". it's "deposition". please. i'm crying.

- really good relevance objection! and skizz didn't say "relevency" so +3000 lawyer points!

- the judge firing missles at both councils is a feature i think the lower courts should implement

- DEFENSE DIDNT GET TO PRESENT A SINGLE WITNESS???

- like they had no case. the witnesses are your case. they didn't begin their case to even rest it. help?

- no experts testified but i think if D did get a witness they could've had an expert testify to either doc's baby or insane status and that would have really helped.

- joe's mens rhea argument in closing was SO GOOD. like that really was the glove moment of this trial.

anyways i'll be thinking about this for 1000 years.

Request for anon, this little comic thing is based on the song "Pass it on" from the muppets!!

Babe is basically passing the stone on :P It also reminds me of how penguins give rocks to their mates

Elvis' Sword Cane ⚔️

Elvis On Tour (1972)

Watching the doc for the millionth time and I've only noticed this now. I wondered if EP's cane was actually a weapon... and it looks like I was right. Apparently, all of Elvis' canes were also swords... and he was making it clear onscreen. LOL.

Subtle message: "Don't f*** with me".

A fact that I hope you haven’t covered~

In last episode, Change of Address, Doc tells Gobo that his real name is “Jerome Crystal”.

Which makes his name actually “Doc Jerome Crystal” or “Doc Crystal” which sounds a lot like “Dark Crystal”

As in Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal

You learn somethin’ new everyday!

Muppet Fact #985

In the last episode of Fraggle Rock, it was revealed that Doc's name is Jerome Crystal. At the 2001 MuppetFest on the second day, Associate Creative Director and Staff Writer Craig Shemin asked during trivia, "On Fraggle Rock, what's Doc's last name?" No one could respond so he said, "I'm ashamed of you people!" Although not officially stated, the name Doc Crystal is a pun/reference to The Dark Crystal.

i just really like the idea that at random points of the day hank just comes into docs office not even to get himself patched up but for the conversation. or just to stand there and watch him work. sometimes they'll spend hours in each others silence before hank decides to leave
