This sounds like a parody of L'Etranger. Shouldn't there be a mention of that somewhere? 202.7.183.131 06:31, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

- Probably a parody in your dreams, pal.
[edit] Homage to The Stranger?
Somebody explain, this is ludicrous. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ed270791 (talk • contribs) 09:11, 11 January 2007 (UTC).
In Albert Camus' "The Stranger", the protagonist, Mersault, is a callous and self absorbed man who without fellow feeling or even real motivation murders an Arab. In the second half of the book, Mersault's trial, the seemingly innocuous details of Mersault's life are used as leverage to convict him. This episode is VERY similar to the book and it would not surprise me if David based this episode on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.199.112.157 (talk) 16:39, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Good Samaritan Law?
This is a quote from the article. "The four main characters are then taken into custody for violating the fictional Good Samaritan law that requires bystanders to help out in such a situation (although the most serious violation punishment would be a mere $2500 fine)."
If it is a fictional law, then why would there be a "most serious violation punishment" for the offence? If it was fictional, then the most severe punishment is whatever the writers can come up with. The law itself does exist, so I think the word "fictional" should be removed from the article and replaced with a comment about how the punishment was exaggerated for the show.--HDC7777 11:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
