This is an epsiode which has "haunted" me for a long time. Like many of you, I used to tape RMT off the radio. It was in April of '80 I tried to get a copy of this particular episode. But, to fit RMT onto a 45 minute tape side, one has to edit out the commercials. While listening to this episode, I fell asleep about half--way through and the ending got cut off! For twenty years, I always wondered how this one played out. Now, I know.

I like the opening of this one, I always had. The creepy, Sci-Fi music they played-- when Vera is first reading through his diary-- is extremely effective. The premise of the whole tale is quite intriguing. But, I have to agree, the aliens needed to be fleshed out more and I thought the wife forgave them a little too easily (afterall, they were directly responsible for her husband's suicide!) I liked the fact the aliens had to stop his theory, but were forbidden to kill him themselves. A very typical theme in many Sci--Fi's but, effective, none-the-less.

Norman Rose and Earl Hammond both delivered strong performances in this one. Earl Hammond was always effective on RMT. He can create many different voices and characterizations. Almost on level with Bob Dryden, but not quite.

Interesting little Sci--Fi, very much had a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits feel to it.

Until Next Time........
