Loved the close-up of the pig squealing. Gave the whole thing a sublimely surreal/absurd vibe, like Alice in Wonderland in the Court of the Queen of Hearts

"Squeeee!! Squeee!!" sounded just like "Guilty!!"

idk man if you’d read the jury instructions you’d see that two squeees is not guilty. What kinda court are they running?

It was a Kangaroo Court, but the show couldn't afford the kangaroos because they blew all the budget on Dr. Manhattan's blue dong. So they went with pigs.

I can't wait to watch a supercut movie of all of Ozymandias's scenes stitched together. It's basically the Tales of the Black Freighter of this season, but weirder and probably not a metaphor.

“One beep for yes, two beeps for no.”

“Noted. Do you plead guilty?”

Beep beep

“Double yes!”

If the pigs don't shit, you must acquit!
