- Narm: Because it is hard to realistically and entertainingly convey the emotional trauma of solitary confinement the episode has a bunch of shots of Stabler looking crazy that may come across as overwrought to some viewers, for example when he is let out and attacks his jailer for keeping him in for a week when he specified only three days (couldn't Stabler have counted the number of meals he was given?).
- Values Resonance: In the years since the episode, public awareness around solitary confinement (specifically the fact that it's basically torture) has continued to grow, making the episode's theme more relevant than ever.
