There's so much I want to say about this great CBSRMT episode. FIRST, Sam Dann wrote a magnificent tale of a Dystopian world where breeding is far more important than affection. Man made the computer, now the computer makes man. No one is allowed to think for themselves or use common sense. Love is treated as a fever/disease and sports have been outlawed. No freedom of choice and no happiness. Only adjustments are allowed. People use to rely on their instincts, but now they rely on an electronic device. FAITH VERSUS LOGIC as it seems. It's ironic that peoples' credences are irrelevant when the Master Computer gets to play God. Not only that, the Computer District plays the role of the Government, the Chief Programmer & the Genetic Headquarters represent City Hall/the Supreme Court. SECOND, the acting is superb. The chemistry between Thomas Y. 130-546 (played by Lloyd Battista) and Emma K. 998-727 (played by Patricia Elliot) is perfect for an Archaic couple. They love music because it feeds their souls, but others dislike it because it doesn't feed their stomachs. Myra the District Programmer (played by Teri Keane) and Walter V. 278-664 (played by Robert Kaliban) are the type of villains that you'd love to hate. They cared less about Thomas & Emma's feelings for each other. The villains acted Conservatively and our 2 main characters acted Liberally. THIRD, the music & sound effects were dead on. Music tunes of a doomed fate in ACT-1, a change of intensity in ACT-2, and a hellish theme at the end of ACT-3. Listen to the Nostalgic sounds of computer music beats, classical music, and a cassette tape rewinding (and that part happens at the 13-minute 27-second mark). And finally FOUR, E.G. Marshall gets your attention in every Act. At the 15-minute 52-second mark, he quotes Charles Darwin. At the end of ACT-3 where Thomas & Emma had to be "readjusted" at the 40-minute 40-second mark, E. G. Marshall gives the fans serious advice and know that this story is a Cautionary Tale. I highly recommend this sci-fi fantasy-mystery to all of you. It's one of the best!
