is it me, or was one of the landing legs fluttering before deployment?

I saw that, and wondered the same thing.  My gut feel is that is was a video artifact, because if the leg was "loose" during the entry phase it would probably have ripped off during the ascent phase. That and it worked fine on deployment and landing.
