As pointed out above, something of a formula plot and somewhat predictable.

The Islam connection is probably derived in general from the 1972 Olympics and the bombing that took place there . . . at least prior to the Embassy takeover in the late seventies, the Olympics was the episode most fresh in Western minds . . . aside from airliner hijackings, which seemed to be popular with non-Islamic folks as much as with Islamic ones.

Perhaps a third (??) of RMT episodes deal with murderers or want-to-be-murderers and their victims. Since we're talking about 1399 episodes I don't think RMT was picking on any one group or one religion. A killer is a killer, when all is said and done. Oklahoma City should remain as a vivid reminder that terrorists come in many different colors and flavors.

Now I'm depressed. Thanks for bumming me out with this downer of a show. My life is ruined.

But really, thanks again for the show. A good encode and good food-for-thought.
