The script called for a woman in her twenties to regress to a 12-year old mentality (and even younger), so *of course* Himan Brown cast Mercedes McCambridge, the oldest-sounding actress in his stable. What was wrong with that guy?! As I listen to CBSRMT, it's about even money as to which offender has ruined more episodes: Elspeth Eric with suspect writing, or McCambridge with her dubious and almost always miscast performances. Not that the story is any great shakes here. The titular room is a jerk which wants things back the way they were. Why? Who can say?
