Continuity mistake: Why does Johnny have trouble getting into the booby trapped room? He shouldn't, as it was made clear in the previous episodes that he can freely explore the scenes in his visions and see things the person or object touched did not. Why is he suddenly limited in this episode and never once previously, and never again in the series?

Plot hole: The female police officer has a theory that Johnny was the Strangler in the case the papers claimed he helped solve but this hardly makes sense. If she was researching him as was seen in the episode, surely it would have said something about Johnny being in a coma during the bulk of the murders since the story was about Johnny.
Johnny Smith: We were always twenty minutes late to every movie we went to! How did ET get to Earth? I don't know. Why did the Empire strike back? Beats me.
Trivia: Guest star Ken Pogue also starred in the 1983 movie The Dead Zone, playing Greg Stillson's future Vice President.
Question: Which episode aired first, "Unreasonable Doubt" or "Netherworld"? I have the season 1 DVD set, and "Netherworld" is listed as episode number five, but in episode guides I've seen, "Unreasonable Doubt" is.
Chosen answer: Unreasonable Doubt aired as the fifth episode, on July 14 2002, with Netherworld airing as the eighth episode on August 4th. One possible explanation is that the networks are sometimes known to air episodes out of their actual production order. In cases like this, the DVD release usually uses the production order, thus placing the episodes in the order which they were intended to be watched.
