Ultra Magnus... I was thinking of 'The Practice' as well! Those sort of endings was what attracted me to that FINE show... They don't just wrap it up all nicely...
The episodes that pulled me in were with "Anderson Pearson" Instead of "Not Guilty" it was "Guilty" and it just pulled away with the three lawyers just standing there in disbelief...
Another - where Bobby made his client change his plea at the very last minute... and it ended up the guy was found not guilty anyway! AMAZING STUFF.

Lawyer Dramas. Oh, puh-leeze. I wonder what it would sound like if the shows were actual live court room broadcasts ...
Defendant's Attorney: I think it is quite clear that the city garbage municipality has caused emotional damagae to my client. The city has refused to clean its main disposal facility for many years past its due date-- Plaintiff's Attourney: Objection! The city has done everything in its power to ensure the physchological well-being of its employees ...
And so on. For days at a time. Or how about those cases debating residential zoning violations, in which someone builds a structure on their property less than five feet within the end of the property line ...

Isn't Sela dead? Data performed the Vulcan Death Grip/Neck Pinch on Sela. It was supposed to explain why she hasn't been seen in any subsequent episode.

Weeeell, in one of the NF books, Soleta and Selar entered her mind to get information, and she just shut her brain down. Whether or not she'll survive.... *shrug*

Yeah, but NF isn't canon, so it could just be ignored. And the vulcan neck pinch doesn't kill people. Spock used it on McCoy in ST2, and that dude on the bus in 4.
There was the Vulcan death grip, but it wasn't real. It was just part of a ploy to steal a cloak in "The Enterprise Incident".

Yes, the Vulcan neck pinch only knocks people out for a while. The "Vulcan death grip" Spock and Kirk faked in "The Enterprise Incident" didn't even involve neck-pinching. I think it was more of a head-grab thing...

Besides, you really think that Data would have just killed her like that? With only a jokey "not bad" from Spock as follow-through? No chance. She's alive if they want her to be alive.
