- I too liked the episode a lot more than I expected to. Now, I've never seen
- the movie "The Bad Seed", mentioned as the source for this story, so I can't
- comment on the plagarism (can you say "The Color of Truth" and "Driving Miss
- Daisy"? What, QL steal a story idea... NEVER! :-) )

- Despite the silly "dum de-dum DAUGHTER OF SIN! dum de-dum dum" ads and the
- rushed retitling of this episode, I was quite impressed with Trilogy Pt.1.
- I think they used the "there are no records available" gimmick before. I
- can't remember which episode, but I think it was season one and a fire was
- the culprit that time.

- Yes, that was the father from ALF (he was also on Buffalo Bill) and
- W.K. Stratton (remember him from 'Black Sheep Squadron'?) made his third
- LEAP appearance. 'Black Sheep' was a Universal/Belisario production, and
- it also featured James Whitmore, Jr. (who directed Trilogy, Pt.1)
- Stratton was the lawyer at the sherriff's office, and also appeared in the
- QL pilot and the second season episode 'Good Night, Dear Heart'.
