  • Weak episode, but still better than basically all of the recent courtroom dramas on television!

    Interestingly enough, though I love Law and Order in general, and this idea is fascinating, this is a weak episode. The parts set in the courtroom are actually rather dull, which is a shame because so many Law and Order episodes really shine during their second half. The idea that the mental health of a suspect could be so vital to the jury's decision is interesting, and the final confrontation between brothers is nice. However, loads of other episodes in this season are much more gripping -- such as "Thrill", "Blood", "Ritual", and "Under the Influence". So don't judge the whole season by this one episode!moreless

    • Matthew O'Dell: Who sent you? The property mongers? Lennie Briscoe: Yeah, the property mongers. They said to be sure to tell you you're under arrest. Edit
    • Emil Skoda (reading the manifesto): "Our strength is as the strength of ten . . ." He's overcompensating. Edit
    • Adam Schiff (to McCoy and Ross about soliciting Benjamin O'Dell's testimony about Matthew's medical background): You two take a lot of liberties. Edit

    • Kidnap victim Donna Ericson has a copy of Alfred Hitchcock's 1951 film Strangers On A Train in her tote bag. Interestingly enough, this movie helped inspire a later "Law and Order" episode, "C.O.D." Edit
    • This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of the Ted Kaczynski case. Edit
