| WHEN A WAR VETERAN IS FOUND DEAD IN A PARKING GARAGE, ALL SIGNS LEAD TO A LAW PROFESSOR WHOSE PAST WORK AS A LAWYER FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE UNVEIL TORTURE DURING WARTIME.
When young war veteran Greg Tanner is found murdered in a Hudson University parking garage, Detectives Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) and Kevin Bernard (Anthony Anderson) connect the murder to law professor Kevin Franklin (Guest Star David Alan Basche), an attorney who formerly worked for the Department of Justice. But when the case is brought to court, it seems Tanner (Guest Star Creighton James) may have been more affected by the war than his discharge stated. Lupo and Bernard find that the pieces start to fit when Franklin's memos from the Bush Administration are leaked. Also starring: S. Epatha Merkerson (Lieutenant Anita Van Buren), Sam Waterston (District Attorney Jack McCoy), Alana De La Garza (Connie Rubirosa), and Linus Roache (Michael Cutter). |

| Law & Order still asking all the right questions; Entering its 20th season, crime series now is tied with Gunsmoke as the longest-running dramatic series on television
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 | 12:21 am Canwest News Service LAW & ORDER Season premiere Friday 8 p.m., NBC, CTV - - No series has been taken for granted and no series has been overlooked by the mainstream media more often than Law & Order. Yet, when Law & Order returns Friday night unheralded and unannounced for its 20th season, it will make TV history of a kind and not just because it is now tied with Gunsmoke as the longest-running dramatic series in the history of television. The season-premiere, Memo from the Dark Side, co-written by Montreal native, Concordia graduate and longtime Law & Order veteran Rene Balcer, will address one of the most controversial issues of the day: whether the U.S. government can be held legally responsible in a U.S. court for the torture of terrorism suspects. Call it pre-emptive television. This isnt a tale torn from the headlines, exactly, so much as a possible signal of times to come. The plot, in typical Law & Order fashion, takes numerous twists before the case lands before a jury. A young war veteran is found dead in a university parking garage. The evidence points to a law professor (guest star David Alan Besche), who once worked for the U.S. Justice Department, specializing in legal issues surrounding "enhanced interrogation techniques." True to Law & Order tradition, what seems clear at first is anything but once the case lands in court. Using enhanced interrogation techniques on terrorism suspects grates on D.A. Jack McCoys (Sam Waterston) sense of right and wrong, and hes determined to take the issue to court, over the objection of his colleagues and superiors. "Were looking forward, not backward," one doubter tells him. "Were not looking to give aid and comfort to the enemy." McCoy retorts: "What are you accusing me of?" Law & Order doesnt claim to have all the answers but there are few dramas on TV better at asking the correct questions, and entertaining at the same time. Balcer has been with Law & Order virtually from the series inception after a brief career working the night desk at a (now closed) Montreal newspaper. As tonights season opener of TVs longest-running crime drama proves, he still knows the value of a good story. |


Pourtant d'après les commentaires lus ce premier épisode semble renouer avec les meilleurs en fournissant les éléments de débats d'une question brûlante : les tortures sous l'administration Buch . Et les passions se déchaînent à nouveau , vous pourrez vous en rendre compte en allant sur le site http://www.nbc.com/Law_and_Order/ . Parfois,cela fait même peur de la part de certains qui ne voient dans la série que de la propagande libérale -peut-être même de gauche, quelle horreur !!! - Bien sûr, ce sont les mêmes qui applaudissaient quand le DA était Arthur Branch




J'ai adoré cet épisode. On pose des questions des deux côtés, sans tomber dans le jugement facile. Les questions ne trouvent pas toujours réponses et ça j'aime ça!On laisse au téléspectateur la possibilité de se forger sa propre opinion. Ce que je respecte chez René Balcer c'est qu'il se donne le droit de poser toutes les questions qu'il juge pertinente, mais il laisse place à l'interprétation.
