Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile complaining about the low image quality of the ATM camera the video tech says "the same goobers that built Hubble built this camera." She is referring to the fact that the primary mirror in the Hubble Space Telescope was ground the wrong shape due to a defective sensor that was built specifically to measure the thickness of the mirror which was the most precisely figured optical mirror ever made at the time, with a smoothness variation of less than 10 nanometers. The flawed sensor caused the mirror to be too flat around the edge by about 2,200 nanometers. This in turn led to images taken by the telescope to be out of focus, it could take images of local objects without much issue, but when it came to taking images of really bright objects like local stars, or really dim objects like distant galaxies, the images were too distorted. To-date it was the largest and most expensive blunder in NASA's history and Hubble became the butt of a lot of jokes at the time. NASA eventually found a solution, they designed special lenses to bring the light coming off the mirror back into focus, the lenses were installed during the first scheduled maintenance mission for Hubble in 1993, three years after its launch.

Featured review
Lots of twists... including to L&O itself
Season 6 of L&O was a shot in the arm for the series - a new detective (Curtis) and even though he was a sometimes obnoxiously conservative addition, the show itself took a lot of welcome risks during his tenure. There was more action and more plot twists, and the franchise's biggest departure from its basic format in the season finale. I'm not sure what it was, but something lit a fire under the producers and writers starting with this season.
The season debut sets up some half baked conflict between seasoned, imperfect Lenny and inexperienced, holier-than-thou Curtis which is alright. The episode itself is about the abduction and murder of a girl who was locked in a caught despite between her parents, and features the kinds of plot twists and brief bursts of chaotic action that really made these seasons exciting for me.
This episode isn't the best example of the renaissance, for one thing it lacks the kind of character depth for such an emotional story, but it's still pretty good.
