The opening narration makes reference to the myth of Prometheus and therefore the creature of Dr. Frankenstein: the theme of Man defying the fire of the gods; and from the prologue, the reference to James Whale's "Frankenstein" is obvious: see the little girl playing near a lake when Adam Link appears followed by lynching cops and fanatical local armed people (straight from "The Children of the Spider County" again!) who chase the metallic robot. Later on, D.A. Coyle even brings Marry Shelley's novel "Frankenstein" as an evidence in the courtroom. Howard Da Silva plays a retired misanthropic liberal lawyer, Thurman Cutler, in a light tone. When Cutler meets cynical newspaper Ellis outside the courtroom, it is close to a bust of president Lincoln but inside we see a painting of president George Washington for D.A. Coyle side and Abraham Lincoln for Cutler. Find a sociological and political short cut that reflects Robert C. Dennis' systematic mind: Coyle uses the testimonies of illiterate hillbillies, prejudiced cop and a scared little girl as eye witnesses. On the other hand, Cutler favours Link's niece, a man of science (played by John Hoyt) and the robot. Professor Hebbel unplugs the robot's inside the chest remote control who consequently brings mess in the courtroom and scare the judge—the scene is shot hand-held. Cutler delivers an utopian speech/statement about society—with a flight of oratory which ends like this: "... its reaching for the stars."—to save his mechanical client but conservative Doyle turns scientifical advancement down. Howard Da Silva is well-casted as a liberal lawyer because he used to be a member of the American Communist Party—as Jeff "O.B.I.T." Corey, by the way—and his speech is not so far away from his own personal ideas in the context of his character; Ford Rainey remains in his stereotyped right-wing parts. The end narration raises the question of moral advancement as in the previous season. The first name (Adam) of the robot is a reference to the Genesis and its last name (Link) to Evolution and the myth of the missing link; this suggests it is the new Man. Link's robot asserts that he feels sorrow for its creator that educates it as his own child and gives it his characteristics: claustrophobia. The theme of the mechanical being is much more highlit and innovative in "Demon With A Glass Hand". A boring courtroom story with a cheap and old-fashioned tin can robot and not as tense as "O.B.I.T." and also a lackluster, preachy, simplistic, edifying, ideological (explicitly civil rights-oriented), countryside/witch-hunting episode a la "Children of the Spider County" but well-scelled in the uptight "Perry Mason" pot. TV Analogy: The ending when the robot sacrifies itself is reminiscent of a "Twilight Zone" episode: "I Sing the Body Electric". Notes: Music supervisor John Caper Jr. is the voice of Adam Link.
