> The Babylon 5 episode "Intersections in Real Time" (S4E18) is almost entirely Sheridan being interrogated with the Reid technique.
It doesn't seem to agree with the Wikipedia description of the Reid technique.
I've watched this episode quite recently, and from what I remember, it was all about trying to break Sheridan's grip on reality, through techniques such as food and sleep deprivation, making it impossible to track the passage of time, and calling into question his reasoning skills. On top of that, the interrogator was seeking guilt admission, not the truth.
