Worst of bad hostage drama, worst of bad cop drama, worst of bad soap-opera, worst of conspiracy theories, worst of theology, worst of... just about worst.
Honestly, this episode is so bad it's funny.
Just pathetically low-quality writing. Guessing someone's idiot cousin wanted a SAG card, so cousin got to write this episode?
Guess what: an ordinary interrogation room camera can zoom in on a bottle, and manage to get a picture good enough to read a thumb-print? I have an easier time with believing that there's a field DNA computer that can run DNA in 30 seconds and search the entire database for matches at the same time.
This episode is a joke, and a bad one. Must have been hard for the cast to keep straight faces with dialog this bad.
Gee, I guess it's a good thing this wasn't aired 6 years later, when it might have given people ideas. Good thing that situation was purely fictional.
