Think the difference between SW:Ep1 and the slew of knockoff [BSG original] in it's wake, or the difference between The West Wing and Studio 60.
I'll nitpick your string, then. Did the episode ever say that it was easier for Michael to break in to the place (to cover the tracks to as to save Tina)? I didn't hear it. Using Tina is far easier especially from a standpoint of risk, which is why they used her in the first place. Michael did the break-in thing as an apology. It was reckless but driven by emotion; an interesting thing to see if Mr. Weston does with increasing frequency. As for the other string... maybe months down the road the scammers get off on reasonable doubt or something but they probably wouldn't have the information to go back and follow up on the people that Michael and crew saved. You're either letting a professional tic color your viewing of a show that is fairly unbelievable to begin with or you don't realize that the future legal case against the scammers doesn't matter to the show at all.
