I noticed that there was a white actor playing the lawyer at the hospital (meaning not Robert Downey Jr.) and it just reminded me how much better this show would have been if they hadn't decided to go with this stupid "RDJ is playing multiple characters" schtick. It also made me wonder why they cast someone for the lawyer when one of the show's big hooks was that RDJ was playing all the white male characters.

I really enjoyed this week's episode and I'm not sure how much of that was due to the fact that RDJ was only in two scenes. I liked Lana singing at the club behind her dad's back, but she had to know that he was going to find out. There were so many people there that it was just a matter of time before someone (not the Captain) tattled to him.
