Oh, dear Lord, was this episode awful. Trite, cut-from-the-headlines PC trendy, full of glaring technical nonsense, led by an unpalatable new character, and clearly a pilot for a "circling the drain from day one" new series. The lead character is a prime example of that most irritating of tropes, the human lie detector, capable of detecting the minor tics, sweating, and surreptitious glances so that she can almost read the mind of the suspect. This was trite when Frank Herbert did it with the Bene Gesseret in Dune, and it hasn't improved with time. Typically, the character will come across as an arrogant know-it-all, and Patricia Arquette nails that result. To show a simple (but spoiler explicit) example of bad plot development: the FBI agent releases a picture of the house of the woman used as a model for an online avatar, thus "exposing her" to the antagonist. Apparently, we are supposed to believe that the "cyber criminal" can create a full human response computer avatar, but cannot figure out where the woman whose image he is using lives. Seriously watches like something written as a bad piece of junior high fan fiction. Utter waste of time. You should feel stupider for having watched it. I certainly do.
