Thanks for that great Law And Order photo-montage.
I note (speaking for myself) one negative and one positive:
1. A negative: unless I missed it, no image of Steven Hill that played
the old, cranky, but likable DA.
2. A true positive: No Diane Wiest (DA Nora Lewin?), the soft-on-crime
weepy liberal. For me, she made for what I’d call the dark years
of Law And Order. It certainly brightened my days when Fred Thompson
replaced her!
I think that episode was based on the true story of the housewife from Minnesota, in a terrorist cell way back while in collgewho helpede plant a bomb that killed a police officer in California. I believe she received a 20 year sentence.
It's also vaguely reminiscent of the ending of Stephen King's Hearts in Atlantis.
I miss Jerry. He made that show stick.
