I was a bit upset about this episode. As a Canadian viewer, I attempted to separate the "real life" situation from the show....which was indeed difficult. Don't get me wrong, I understand that this episode was different from the actual situation but the concept of the show was based on real life. If what happened last year regarding the friendly fire incident did not occur, I wouldn't have had a problem with this episode. I'm not criticizing the outcome of the case, as seen in the show, however, I think they should have been a little more considerate as to who would be viewing the episode. I think Harm's suggested board review of the pilot was an attempt to rectify the "not guilty" decision.

That's the problem with doing ripped from the headlines stories. Remember 'Clipped Wings' from season 3? That came not long after the cable car incident and they didn't even change the country where the incident took place (Italy). I think the main thing to try to remember about these stories is that it is a TV show and there have been facts changed to differentiate it from the real-life incident. As I said below, the real trial is still going on and may have a far different outcome. (NT) -- Tracy, 07:51:41 02/12/03 Wed
