- Accidental Aesop:
- The death penalty isn't an effective deterrent against crime because of how easily it can get imposed on innocent people.
- Given that Clark's evidence is destroyed in the blast, the importance of backing up one's data is directly addressed.
- Values Dissonance: The episode ends with Detective Bowman legally executed in the gas chamber, without any arguments made about the morality of the death penalty... something that would rustle a lot of feathers in countries that are strongly against it.
