Trivia

Goofs
While driving, Irene Lee takes the Dex from Foster and throws it out of the car window, and it is shown lying on the road as they drive away. Later, when they are home, Irene returns the Dex to Foster. But the devices are designed to be tracked so it should be able to be easily found again.

Food for Thought

Watching this episode after listening to today's newscast and our current POTUS calling for his ideas to make safer schools, I had to shudder. The technology is almost here now and, as always it's about control and money. I need to look and see just when DIck wrote this story and would like to read it to see how much the script was updated to fit in today's current political mood.

Politics aside, the plot was somewhat predictible and I didn't find the acting or production quality as good as some of the others. But all in all still far better than 90% of anything else on the small screen.
