Really enjoyed this episode. Great premise. I enjoyed the references to the Bermuda Triangle as he tried to come up with an explanation for the "Hole". I also enjoyed the entire sequence as Joe diverted the patrol ships away from his destination. The "Passage" was extremely well executed, too.

"Curly" was a great character. I could picture a completely bald, overweight, sweaty, slimey guy behind a space bar-- something just slightly less green than Jabba-the-Hutt.

One of the fun things about listening to RMT-- is listening for and trying to identify all the "doubling--up" performed by the actors to cover all the roles. This one was completey symmetrical-- with Joan Shea, Earl Hammond and Russell Horton each preforming dual roles.

The whole idea of Roger fulfilling an alien prophecy was a clever twist and the possibilty he was simply lost in his own mind was a nice open-ended way for the tale to conclude. It might also explain why his friends and associates seemed to "reappear" in this "other" world. Magda become "Dinara" a more thoughtful, responsible woman-- more concerned with the welfare of others than her own selfish desires. Joe became "Ardi"-- still a trusted and loyal friend-- sticking by him 'til the bitter end. And Curly, was still the bad guy, becoming the "Censor" threatening more than just his material existence, this time.

Great Sci-Fi choice.......
