Just finished watching this episode and am sitting here with tears in my eyes. I'm surprised no one has written a review for this very special episode of such a beautiful series, and I am honored to do so. Here it is, Christmas Eve 2022 and, like everyone who was around on 09-11, I remember everything about that sad day and cannot believe it was 21 years ago. I was doing OK watching this episode until the end when the Mormon Tabernacle Choir started singing, and the tears started. Such a beautiful, moving moment, especially seeing everyone's reactions in this episode. It is obvious everyone involved in this episode of Touched By An Angel was moved as well. An episode worth watching, and remembering and honoring the loss we all suffered on that fateful day. I'll finish my review by simply stating the words to that wonderful hymn that was sung so beautifully: "His truth is marching on." Amen.

I will start this review by saying that I never saw any of The Outer Limits episodes from the '90s, but I did see some from the original series. Just recently, I happened to turn on the TV just as this episode of "Tribunal" was in its last few minutes and I was spellbound - So much so, that I ordered the entire series from eBay just so I could watch this episode from the beginning, which I just did. As it was ending, I was literally in tears. This entire episode was a master class in everything - Especially writing and acting. I don't think I have ever been moved so much by something on television. This should be required watching by everyone who desires that we learn from the past in order to not repeat it in the future. As I am writing this review, Russia is continuing its horrendous and unprovoked war on its sovereign neighbor Ukraine, all because of a modern-day Hitler (Russia's dictator Putin) wanting more land and more power, and solely because of this one man, atrocities, brutalities and war crimes are being committed on Ukraine's innocent civilians, including women, children and the elderly. It is almost like Nazi Germany all over again, but without the gas chambers. So, it would seem humanity still has not learned from its past. I pray that we will eventually, and because of the faith and hope I cling to, I believe one day we will. The very end of this episode really resonated with me. Just before the end credits, a voice over is heard saying the following: "The wounds of war run deep, cutting across generations. But there is always the hope of healing, so long as there are souls among us whose hearts are more full of love than hate." May it be so. Amen.
