Oh, man...where to start?

We like to deconstruct RMT shows frequently by saying "This or that is unrealistic" and there's room for such criticism in this episode as well.

But I won't.

- We could point out how female black widows are very sluggish (I've turned over more than one piece of wood just to find one frozen there in place, unlike other spider species which can move like canned lightning). They're also noticeable, but hardly large enough to inspire the terror the one in this RMT seemed to among the bad guys (I loved the choice of RMT actors Jackson Beck and Dan "Return of the Moresby's" Ocko for the villains).

Therefore, it's kind of plausible and highly fun to envision in the RMT's theatre of the mind that the black widow spider in this episode was at least as big as an american tarantula...it'd be cooler if she was as big as this theraphosa blondi of the northern amazon.

- Speaking of "cool", how cool is this? The (very conservative, in many ways) RMT has a plot about union (leadership) thugs who take out a "clean" up-and-comer in leadership, whose wife takes revenge by means of witchcraft. (Not that I like witchcraft, but the plot was just so RMT good.)

- Heddy Galen as the widow, IMO, sounded like a lady who sounded more like a matron of a local bridge club, or a Pi Beta Phi alumni group, than the wife of a union shop steward but that's just me. Her voice still "worked" in that role.

- And while I don't want to make fun of the dying (even the bad guys), I still got a bit of a kick out of how Beck ("GET AN AMBULANCE-HIIIIIIIIII") and Ocko (sounded a bit like Yogi Bear when he said "Get it away") played their character's final moments.

- I love an RMT musical "double dip", when they play one closing "sounder" then another, different one right after it, as they did at the end of Act III right before E.G.'s words.

- And for some reason I also got a kick out of when the policeman (played also by Beck) was trying to justify his actions to Robert Dryden's detective character, and the latter said "I ought to have your BADGE for this". I love plain talk in the middle of an episode of the supernatural.

I LOVED this episode. Wonderful choice!!!!
