It begged to live done – it HAD to live done – a ripped from the headlines episode which paralleled the word stories of Broadway's disaster-ridden production of “Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark.”  And it could entirely live done against the backdrop of New York City.  Using the metaphor of Icarus flying besides closed to the Sun as well as ultimately to his death, along amongst repeated references to hubris, casual viewers may hollo back that the episode was exactly trying to brand a disputation most the reasons behind the existent life disaster of “Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark.”

I hollo back it’s deeper than that. Maybe it’s Goren himself who is the Icarus character. Possibly his ain hubris is what is preventing him from seeing the truth most himself. He may live a genius at solving crimes, but his overconfidence inwards this powerfulness may live clouding his judgment on solving why he is filled amongst anger, or why he thinks he doesn’t demand the aid of the shrink. In a way, Goren is inwards a labyrinth of his ain making, as well as i that is to a greater extent than similar a puzzle or maze than i amongst an slowly exit.
