- TriviaThis episode marks the crossover of three Law and Order franchises. Dick Wolf first proposed a cross-over for Law & Order (1990), Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999), and Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001) which centered on a terrorist's plot and a ticking time-bomb scenario. It was nixed when terrorists hijacked the planes that brought down the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.
- GoofsThe case against Rublev falls apart because Nicole Merrick is too afraid to testify in open court, she is the only other living person who can corroborate the video's authenticity. However the law allows for a witness to testify in a secret, closed session when there is reason to believe their life would be in danger because testifying in open court and their identity being known. In this instance the witness testifies in front of just the judge and the jury, no one else, to keep their identity secret, their testimony is then read back by the court reporter in future parts of the trial if needed, while keeping their name secret. This has been done in previous episodes, and it is done in real life, often time to protect the identity of undercover police officers. But this option is not even considered here.

Featured review
I loved this series when It first appeared and then cheered when it returned last year. That proved to be disappointing. Jeffrey Donovan grew on me as did Camryn Manhiem (given not enough to do) but the two new lawyers just didn't click at all. The way they were written didn't make it sound like they were real lawyers concerned with the law. The new assistant particularly didn't sound like she got any closer to law school than a double date. The exchanges with Waterson were pale reminders of the series at its height with Steven Hill. Have the original writers all died?
This season Anthony Anderson has walked and the tri-part debut often seemed like a video game with a basic by-the-numbers script. Action, action, action but very little thought and zero wit. Boy was Jerry Orbach missed. To say the charcaters are 2-dimensional gives them a dimension. Where is the writing on this? The Benson/Stabler episodes in particular trotted out every tired cliche in the book. Ripped from today's headlines? No ripped from today's slush pile. This go-round ignores what we liked about the original. It really was different. It brimmed with humanity. It was intelligent. The charcaters were alive. New York was a vital character to the series. This city was a video game backdrop. Acting was optional. Even watyerson seemed to sleepwalk through the role. He had no real lines.
If Dick Wolf can't salvage this, I think they should pack it in.
