The streets are covered with snow.

Snow? Where did they get snow?

I can't believe they have snow-covered streets.

I guess I fixate on all the wrong things in the television universe, but this one hits me in a core place. There is no snow here and there hasn't been for way too long.

This simple thing makes it difficult to watch the episode without wondering, where did they get the snow?

New York and New Jersey haven't had any real snow in years. I miss the snow. I wish we had snow. I want more snow. Why is there snow on television and none on my lawn, about 50 miles from where the episode was filmed?

The team is going to protect a family from a violent drug cartel; doesn't bring semi-auto rifles or extra ammunition, Stabler gets there faster from his home than the patrol cops or SWAT/ESU, no one appears to be wearing body armor including FBI agents outside, standard equipment for a protection detail or anytime cops expect incoming fire.

Not to mention the fact these highly important witnesses against a violent drug cartel would be protected by a specialized tactical team, i.e. ESU, FBI HRT, not by detectives. When the kid's gun went off the muzzle angle was nowhere near Sgt. Bell for her to be struck.

Not to the usual L&O meticulous standards.
