It doesn't help that Adam's friend Ginny treats the engine as if he were a real person and has to pass on an Aesop that even sentient-looking objects can't replace the people she's loved (including Adam) when the movie's plot involves Josh bringing inanimate objects to life by treating them as if they were human.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Episode four features an interesting one involving a patent infringement suit being filed in a minor Texas community with a reputation as a favorable jurisdiction for patent plaintiffs. As patent law in the US is a federal issue, it must be tried by one of the federal district courts in a state. Given that these are generally located in major cities, it may come as as surprise to some to learn that Callisto is a NoCommunitiesWereHarmed version of Marshall, Texas. Officially based in the minor city of Tyler, the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas divides its proceedings between 5 courts, each located to (in theory) serve a set of surrounding counties. One of these happens to be Marshall, a rural community of about 23,000 that has decided roughly one in four patent suits in the United States over the past few decades, due in large part to the exact sort of convinient trial rules and statistically high favoring of the plaintiff depicted in the episode.

* OvershadowedByControversy: Creator/ElizaDushku was brought on as a potential new major cast member, only to face a horrifically misogynist work environment mostly perpetrated by Creator/MichaelWeatherly, who was constantly harrassing her with jokes about a "rape van" (and this was shortly after she revealed that she'd been sexually abused at age 12). And when she reported it to the network execs, they responded by firing her and then trying to buy her off with an NDA (this was also when the disgraced Les Moonves was still in charge). While kept quiet for a time, it exploded during the show's third season when Dushku was awarded a $9.5 million settlement and went public about her treatment during the show. When the show was renewed for a fourth season, Steven Spielberg and Amblin announced that they won't participate further.

* DesignatedVillain: Detective Joe Kaminsky, the police detective who arrests Arthur Craddick [[spoiler:and is later murdered, leading to the arrest of Craddick's son]], is treated as a racist DirtyCop who railroads an innocent black man. This is despite the fact that an eyewitness who he had no reason not to believe testified that he saw Craddick shoot the victim and Bull's entire defence boiled down to "Oh, well eyewitnesses get things wrong sometimes". Yes, Craddick was indeed innocent, but Kaminsky had no way of knowing that, especially since the evidence that proves his innocence is the confession of a man who Kaminsky had no reason to suspect and who didn't confess until twelve years after Craddick had already been convicted.
** This extends to [[spoiler:the prosecution of Leo Craddick for Kaminsky's murder, which is treated by the defence team as a blatant example of police racism even though he had previously yelled at the victim that he would make him pay for imprisoning his father, a man roughly fitting his description was seen fleeing the scene and his palm print was on Kaminsky's car. The audience may know that Leo didn't do it, but from the perspective of someone who doesn't know that like the ADA it seems like a pretty strong case. Mitigated somewhat near the end of the episode when the ADA is willing to drop the charges after finding evidence implicating a pair of DirtyCops and tells Bull that she's upset because she was genuinely sure that he was guilty.]]

** Susan Bryant from Teacher’s Pet. While the episode doesn’t ignore the DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale of her actions (her lawyer specifically took the case be cause of the pliability) she is still presented sympathetically even though she cheated on her husband with one of her students then convinced him to quit school to take care of her and her child. She seems to get her LaserGuidedKarma when it’s discovered that the baby is actually her husband (who is in no way villanized). It is here that the episode provides her a FreudianExcuse which is ParentalAbandonment. Not only does this in no way make her sympathetic as the show is essentially trying to use GoodAdulteryBadAdultery as an excuse the before mentioned DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale, but it actually makes her come across as a ManipulativeBitch. Not only has she convinced her student to enter an AllTakeAndNoGive relationship that involves taking care of her and someone else’s child, but her abandonment issues means that she’s eventually going to abandon him as well.

Then, after Bull pulls some favors and gets her out of jail for destroying evidence, he informs her that he has to fire her and Cable throws a hissy fit and storms off; once more it is supposed to come off as a tearjerker but instead makes her look like a brat who thought she could break federal laws without any consequences.]]

The result is of course all the evidence is completely erased by a virus, something Cable never considered despite supposedly being a computer genius.]]
** The prosecutor shows a tape of a child recovery agent attending a party in "Snatchback", which was made to show that he's a fraud. When the judge presses him on where he got it, the answer suggests a competing CRA. This made the judge ballistic that he legally wants the other person to testify as required.

* OvershadowedByControversy:Eliza Dushku Creator/ElizaDushku was brought on as a potential new major cast member, only to face a horrifically misogynist work environment mostly perpetrated by Michael Weatherly, Creator/MichaelWeatherly, who was constantly harrassing her with jokes about a "rape van" (and this was shortly after she revealed that she'd been sexually abused at age 12). And when she reported it to the network execs, they responded by firing her and then trying to buy her off with an NDA (this was also when the disgraced Les Moonves was still in charge). While kept quiet for a time, it exploded during the show's third season when Dushku was awarded a $9.5 million settlement and went public about her treatment during the show.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Susan Bryant from Teacher’s Pet. While the episode doesn’t ignore the DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale of her actions (her lawyer specifically took the case be cause of the pliability) she is still presented sympathetically even though cheated on her husband with one of her student then convinced him to quite school to take care of her and her child. She seems to get her LaserGuidedKarma when it’s discovered that the baby is actually her husband (who in no way villanized). It is here that that the episode provides her FreudianExcuse which is ParentalAbandonment. Not only does this in no way make her sympathetic as the show is essentially trying to use GoodAdulteryBadAdultery as an excuse the before mentioned DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale, but it actually makes her com across as a ManipulativeBitch. Not only has she convinced her student into entering into an AllTakeAndNoGive relationship that involves taking care of her and someone else’s child, but her abandonment issues means that she’s eventually going to abandon him as well.

** Cable in ''Keep Your Friends Close''. After [[spoiler: disobeying not only Bull's orders but the FBI's she nearly allows a hacker terrorist to get of of charges. This is played up that she made a mistake because she 'has a good heart' but it comes off as her being a massive idiot who nearly destroyed Bull's entire company because she can't use common sense. Then, after Bull pulls some favors and gets her out of jail for destroying evidence, he informs her that he has to fire her and Cable throws a hissy fit and storms off; once more it is supposed to come off as a tearjerker but instead makes her look like a brat who thought she could break federal laws without any consequences.]]
* WhatAnIdiot: Cable in ''Keep Your Friends Close''. [[spoiler: After being told that she can not talk to the girlfriend of the terrorist hacker who is on trial she still talks to her, allows the girlfriend to convince her to help them, and then inserts a USB drive given to her by said girlfriend into the FBI evidence database. The result is of course all the evidence is completely erased by a virus, something Cable never considered despite supposedly being a computer genius.]]
