Believe it or not, there\\''s plenty of horror in that story.\r\n\r\nIn fact, my wife kept grabbing my arm every time a new twist was revealed - she couldn\\''t believe that this was allowed on radio \\"back then.\\" Two things - first, it\\''s a bloody good thing that my car has automatic transmission, as my right arm was cramped from so much grabbing; and, after 19 years of marriage, why does my wife try to convince me that she\\''s too young to remember this show? If I\\''ve learned one thing in those 19 years though, it\\''s that it\\''s best that I not protest her \\"youthful\\" ignorance.\r\n\r\nAnyway, the narrative style interspersing the storyline was a superb mix...just enough time to digest what just happened and where we were being taken. After listening to quite a few episodes, this ranks near the top of my list....and for the first time I can state that I finally heard an Elspeth Eric episode that didn\\''t make me remember my root canal. <br>', '2013-03-25 21:44:01', 1, 'fa3e4f88db14e56f9a250065baa5d49f', '112.200.13.156'),

(10067, '0172', 'episode', 'Russell', '', 'I rate this episode ★★★☆☆ for AVERAGE. I understood Ian Martin''s modern version of Romeo & Juliet where Danny Makahini is Romeo, Liz Bradley is Juliet, Queen Lilliolani is Lady Montague, Carter Bradley is Capulet, Dr. Peter Hughes is Prince Paris, Princess Toulmina is Rosaline, and Hawaii is supposed to be Verona…but the disastrous wave part, that only shows up at the very end. Since this is called “WAVE OF TERROR,â€ it would make more sense if the terrifying wave was actually a metaphor of the drama that the 2 lovers had to face. This Drama-Mystery is more like a soap opera series because of its shocking twists; especially at the 32-minute mark in ACT-3. There was a variety of music tracks where it got suspenseful, then mellow, then shocking, then deep, then drastic. The horrifying tune at the 20-mintue mark and the pensive track at the 27-minute mark were my favorite. The sound effects of the airport, helicopter, tropical music, seagulls, glassware shaking, tableware clinking, ocean waves, horse neighing and galloping, the brakes & engine motor of the Jeep, footsteps, tropical birds, rotary phone, the oceans roared, and the big tidal wave were good; very necessary for this tropical tale; especially the Hawaiian music to play in the background. In our Host’s Prologue, E.G. Marshall begins describing the Polynesian Queen who is the mother of our male lead. In ACT-1, he describes our 2 main characters just 2 days before the 90-foot tidal wave came. Later on, he informs us than none of these characters are aware that the cataclysm of nature is about to affect their lives. In ACT-2, after detecting a change in our female lead, E.G. Marshall gives us a hint that she has a knowledge that the others don’t know yet. In ACT-3, it is 8:42am where there are 2 ultimatums by the 2 families, plus narrating the events of the wave approaching while the characters speak. In the end, he reveals the climax of the wave of terror that reached the land. In his Epilogue, E.G. Marshall gives us the resolution where the 2 lovers did get married, but a memorial service was made for their parents (SPOILER ALERT). What puzzles me are the whereabouts of other 2 characters: the Doctor & the Princess. What happened to them? Where did they go? Did they survive the wave of terror? Another mystery we’ll never know. Lastly, our cast: Paul Hecht (as Danny Makahini), Carmen Matthews (as Queen Lilliolani), Suzanne Grossman (as Liz Bradley & Princess Toulmina), Gordon Gould (as Dr. Peter Hughes), and Ian Martin (as Carter Bradley). Each of them did quite well on their acting, but not quite believable on the characters that they portrayed. Don’t get me wrong; all 5 of them have done great works in other CBSRMT episodes, but it would be more believable if they spoke in Hawaiian accents or even said “Alohaâ€ in every Act. SPECIAL NOTE: Aloha means “loveâ€, “compassionâ€, “affectionâ€, and “friendly.â€ Not just “helloâ€ & “goodbye.â€ Anyway, this is a rare take on the William Shakespearean classic, but WEST SIDE STORY is a way better modern version.

(10053, '0472', 'episode', 'Russell', '', ' I rate this episode ★★★★☆ for GOOD. I give Ian Martin props for writing a great adaptation of William Shakespeare’s play for radio and packed so much into it in one full episode. The Title suits well with the story and other titles could work such as, “A Plague On Both Your Housesâ€ because Hate is the plague that caused the Montagues & Capulets to be at war with each other. Another title could work, “Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrowâ€ because Romeo & Juliet think about each other every time they leave & reunify. Or better yet, call it what it‘s really about: “Star-Crossed Lovers In Verona.â€ The sound effects of the servants fighting, trumpets, wind blowing, ballroom music, party guest murmuring, the doors, swords clang, and body thud were very supportive in this. The music was supportive as well; themes that expressed love, hate, despair, calamity, and sorrow. And let’s not forget the Orchestral Romeo & Juliet theme from Pyotr llyich Tchaikovsky. Now here’s why I rate this 4 out of 5 stars: E.G. Marshall made a mistake in his Prologue. He said that the stage play of Romeo & Juliet was written between 1694 and 1695. SPECIAL NOTE: William Shakespeare was born in 1564 and died in 1616; our Host was a century off. Other than that, his narrations were beneficial just like Cliff’s Notes. In ACT-1, he begins the CBSRMT episode where the play begins: Verona. Later on, the famous love scene ended and the dark tragedy begins. In ACT-2, it’s what we expected: Romeo is passionately in love and later flees after killing a member of the Capulets. In ACT-3, the 2 lovers are dead, but their story will never die. In his Epilogue, both families put their hatred aside and become friends too late. But the grandest part of all was our cast: Kristoffer Tabori (as Romeo Montague), Morgan Fairchild (as Juliet Capulet), Joan Shay (as Nurse & Lady Capulet), Robert Kaliban (as Mercutio & Friar Lawrence), Guy Sorel (as Prince Paris), and Earl Hammond (as Tybalt). Kudos to Guy Sorel & Earl Hammond for playing minor roles that was significant in the plot. Big props to Joan Shay & Robert Kaliban for each playing 2 roles. As I mentioned before, the grandest part, I was referring to Kristffer Tabori & Morgan Fairchild. I could imagine William Redfield & Marian Seldes playing the parts. Or even Jack Grimes & Joan Loring. But I think Kristoffer Tabori & Morgan Fairchild pulled it off on these memorable roles. Listen to the sound of their kiss at the 9-minute mark; very delicate. And listen to the way she says, “I love youâ€ and the 13-minute mark and the way she gasps during the stabbing at the 39-minute mark; a dainty voice that works well in the story. If you’ve read the play in school, read its Cliff’s Notes, seen it on a theatre stage, watch the many different film versions of it (including WEST SIDE STORY), I highly recommend that you listen to this on old time radio.

In those CBSRMT episodes, the stories go so well in ACT-1 and ACT-2. But once you get to ACT-3, it''s downhill from that point on. And this Drama-Mystery, written by James Agate, Jr., is the same. You got an intriguing storyline, important plot points, characters to love & hate, and a teddy bear that has everyone''s attention, but the ending (both climax & resolution) isn''t what I expected. Another way to Title this would be "The Russian Bear" or "Believe In Actions, Not Words" because that''s what our characters are focused on. The sound effects of the typewriters, people murmuring in the newsroom, the Teletypes, static & frequency from the tape reel, rotary phone, door buzzer, footsteps, dial tone of the rotary phone, magazine pages, birds chirping, and the howling wind were all necessary in the tale of suspense.

In his Prologue, he warns us that this episode is NOT an ordinary mystery (like a Who-Done-It), but a mystery involving total annihilation that stretches beliefs. In ACT-1, not only he brings up the topic of science, but introduces us to our main character from the Washington Record newspaper. Later, he asks if there are actually 2 teddy bears in this story. In ACT-2, he informs us about the life of a newspaper reporter, but also informs us that Psychic Warfare is a reality. My favorite part of his narration is in ACT-3 where he talks about world power and says, "We''re no better off than when we were cavemen attacking and defending with clubs, sticks, and stones. Will it ever end? Will civilization…ever become…more than…a word?" (He says that with candidness and he does make a point; fashion will change, transportation will change, technology will change, but our primitive instincts will not.) Later, E.G. Marshall asks does anyone know what certain gifts are given to traveling executives when they go to foreign soil (another mystery we''d have to solve). In his Epilogue, he talks about new fears replacing the old ones; it''s almost as if our Host was giving us a cautionary tale. And finally, our great cast: Michael Wager (as Jack Woods the reporter), Ian Martin (as Captain Tom & the Russian Ambassador), Martha Greenhouse (as Mission Control & Dr. Gerda Kessler), and Court Benson (as Bob Buckley the editor & the Embassy Attaché).

In those CBSRMT episodes, the stories go so well in ACT-1 and ACT-2. But once you get to ACT-3, it''s downhill from that point on. And this Drama-Mystery, written by James Agate, Jr., is the same. You got an intriguing storyline, important plot points, characters to love & hate, and a teddy bear that has everyone''s attention, but the ending (both climax & resolution) isn''t what I expected. Another way to Title this would be "The Russian Bear" or "Believe In Actions, Not Words" because that''s what our characters are focused on. The sound effects of the typewriters, people murmuring in the newsroom, the Teletypes, static & frequency from the tape reel, rotary phone, door buzzer, footsteps, dial tone of the rotary phone, magazine pages, birds chirping, and the howling wind were all necessary in the tale of suspense.

Fantasy, because it takes place in a dystopian future. SPECIAL NOTE: Not only Sam Dann wrote this story, he also wrote a novel based on it entitled THE THIRD BODY. Luckily, I found this book and it would be amazing to hear this story on CBSRMT if it was split into 5 parts just like they did for the episodes of NEFERTITI, THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII, THE LEGEND OF ALEXANDER, and LES MISERABLES. The sounds effects of the beating of drums, swords clash, howling wind in the forbidden forest, hunting spear thwack into a tree, birds chirping, and tape reel were highly supportive in this tale. The music had the right tunes in each Act where curiosity, suspicion, and doom slowly creep up on our characters. And what I enjoyed the most from this tale was our outstanding cast: Tony Roberts (as Gold & David), Marian Seldes (as Flower), Evie Juster (as the High Priestess & Lona) and Robert Dryden (as the High Priest & Death the hunter). The characters that Evie Juster & Robert Dryden played were pessimistic; not willing to think outside the box. But the roles that Tony Roberts & Marian Seldes played were the exact opposite; character-driven to be optimistic. They went from adversaries, to allies, to lovers. I like the part where Gold describes the High Priestess as “a tall handsome womanâ€ at the 20-minute mark. As for our Host, he was very explanatory in his narrations. In his Prologue, E.G. Marshall begins by quoting Hotspur from Williams Shakespeare’s HENRY IV Part 1: “Doomsday is near; die all, die merrily.â€ But also, discussing the prophets of doom, the sears and sages for the end of the human race. In ACT-1, our story takes place in the future, but not OUR future, where it is Male Tribe VS. Female Tribe and both have gone back to their primitive ways. In ACT-2, after realizing that these characters live in a world where combat is the order of the day, E.G. Marshall asks “Why bother with truth when we can enjoy fiction?â€ (I’m glad that this is fiction; as what Mark Twain once said, “Truth is stranger than fiction.â€) Later on, he asks another puzzling question: “How can these Warrior Men & Amazon Women resolve their differences?â€ In ACT-3, he wonders does the future repeat the past and supposes that there comes a time when the world has to begin all over again. After revealing what happened in the final scene, E.G. Marshall asks us CBSRMT fans to write the End to this story. How do YOU see this story ending? If you’re searching for a dystopian story with a hopeful ending, this one’s for you. Plus, it has a commercial of Joanne Woodward for the National Society for Autistic Children with its address: P.O.

And I remember a \\"special feature\\" they once did on \\"Sex and the occult\\" (or some such drivel), talking about what were sex practices and legends with witchcraft and satanism. What happened in this episode appears to have been a visit from what Playboy called a \\"succubus\\". Wikipedia defines it as: \\"a female demon or supernatural entity that appears in dreams, who takes the form of a human woman in order to seduce men, usually through sexual intercourse...Religious traditions hold that repeated intercourse with a succubus may result in the deterioration of health or even death.\\" ( I even remember the stupid photo said magazine had depicting the creature.)\r\n\r\nWhich is what happened here.\r\n\r\n2. This WELL DONE episode was always troubling to me because it showed the breakup of a family due to the father\\''s sin. The WORST such episode to me on this (though also a powerful RMT) was \\"Star Sapphire\\". Curiously, two other RMT episodes with this theme had the term \\"wolf\\" in their title: \\"The white wolf\\" (from the Prosper Merrimack (sic) short story), and \\"The grey wolf\\" (I think that was the title) which starred Michael Tolin as a police officer/detective in New Mexico.  The Tolin show was \\"Night of the wolf\\". Back to this one. Never knew until this was brought up that \\"Out of focus\\" was also an Ian Martin play. IMHO, that man, one of the RMT\\''s \\"A-team\\", was also up there with Sam Dann as one of their best playwrights. He did some GREAT work.

Almost to a program ("The therapeutic cat" might have been an exception, where witchcraft was almost played for a laugh) the RMT warned about the danger of witchcraft and, yes, satanism (and indeed frequently they linked the two).\r\n\r\nEver hear the solo song by the Eagles'' Don Henley called "You better hang up"? A line from the tune: "You''re from New York City, where they don''t say no prayers...everything goes, nobody cares." Upon rediscovering and heavily listening to the RMT 11 years ago I found myself asking over and over, "How did they get AWAY with saying those things in New York City?" The RMT was astonishingly conservative for its day.*\r\n\r\n(*One last thing. Chris Pine has talked about the RMT''s "big sis" (by a decade plus) "The Twilight Zone". A retrospective book I once read on the TWZ said that during filming of the episode "The howling man" (featuring a captured Satan at a monastery) the director wanted to prominently use a cross but the producers nixed it saying it was too religious for the viewing public. This being the early 60s, CBS executives said the same thing a couple years later about Charles Schulz'' "A Charlie Brown Christmas" (they also said the public "wouldn''t understand the music") which has only become one of the most popular American Christmas shows and TV soundtracks of all time.\r\n\r\nSomebody at CBS Radio in New York didn''t get the memo. In the RMT episode "The Raft" biblical scripture was quoted no less than FOUR SEPARATE TIMES. And there were a lot of other controversial subjects (abortion, homosexuality/lesbianism, religious cults, islamic terrorism, communism) that the RMT took on in ways that would be controversial today. ))\r\n\r\nAgain, I don''t know how the CBS RMT did it in post-late-60s NYC, but I''m glad they did. (But I''d better get off my soapbox and get back to life.) BTW, if "Andy and Kathy" had done their schtick in a drag club somewhere it might have had an all-adult audience, but live on CNN''s New Year''s special?

A good story that begs for a continuation in my opinion: One may call Kellerman''s murder the perfect murder - an unimportant figure falling victim to his own carelessness, run over by an unrelated figure''s car, the accident confirmed by a number of unrelated witnesses, no motive at all for anything deliberate and no scent of such either for any committed cop to pick up. Bailey''s elimination is however a hasty reaction to the events brought about by the flaw in the original plot - Bliss''s subconscious belatedly realising that the control has slipped out of his hands and he can do nothing to regain it because it had been slipped out for quite a while. In fact he should have given a good amount of theoretical consideration to the possibility of any of the blackmail victims being too straight or too weak to do what their interests dictate - he should have devised ways to filter out the reliable and useful partners in crime without giving too much information away in advance, so all the other candidates who fail the preliminary test can continue living in blissful ignorance, knowing practically nothing more than the fact that they are not the only flies in Kellerman''s spiderweb, without knowing any of the others, unable to make contact with any of them, just happy about a regular monthly expense terminating at a certain point in time, never wondering why. Instead, Bliss leads the conversation and presents his detailed plans to Bailey, and that''s the moment when he should have realised he has derailed the plot and should tell all the others that the operation is unfortunately off, because there is a rotten apple in the basket. From this point, Bailey plays the music and Bliss dances to it, even if it doesn’t even occur to Bailey. Had he realised that, he would have perhaps shut up for his own good. Bliss never tried to extract information from Bailey, never tried to bring his opinion and intensions (if any) to the surface. If the idea of killing Kellerman had sprung out of Bailey''s head during the dialogue (after Bliss expertly planting it in his subconscious), Bliss could have acted out a little reluctance, gradually agreeing to "Bailey''s daring idea". He would have made Bailey the "lead theorist" of the plot and he would have never thought of going to the police. This is the dialogue he should have attempted with everyone, "testing" them. In real life, he would have probably found more than one Gordon Baileys who should have been kept away hermetically from being involved in the plot... Now, all a cop has to do is go home to Gordon''s griefstricken wife, tell about his death and ask a few innocent questions. The wife would be deeply shocked, not only because of the tragedy, but also because Gordon''s death wouldn’t fit the picture – it would be the last link of a chain of unusual recent events in her eyes and she''d be pouring out all she knows even without the cop asking. It wouldn''t take long to find out that Gordon was straight as an arrow, no motive whatsoever to hold a gun on a bartender, except... he''d seemed disturbed lately and he''d recently confessed an old one night affair. That would be enough for the cop to ask further. Soon recently deceased Mr. Kellerman''s name would surface, and so would Bliss’, present at both incidents. Any mediocre cop would now smell something out of the ordinary and would soon identify Kellerman as the link between all the witnesses at both locations, identifying their common motive. Bliss should have at least chosen witnesses for Bailey''s murder who weren''t directly involved in getting rid of Kellerman. As soon as Gordon is shot, he should have left the place before the police was alerted. But even then, you have two fatal incidents, both of which could also be homicides if not for witnesses'' statements. Both linked to Gordon Bailey, an ordinary, regular citizen, happily married, steady career, out of any trouble until now.

(10081, '1362', 'episode', 'Russell', '', 'I rate this episode ★★★★☆ for GOOD. I’ll start off on what I liked the BEST. First, the cast: Marian Seldes (as Eleanora), Evie Juster (as Fisk & Helga), Earl Hammond (as Max & Otto), and Lloyd Battista (as Misha, the Doctor, and R.J. Todd). Kudos to Evie Juster & Earl Hammond for each playing 2 roles. But a big round of applause to Lloyd Battista for playing 3 roles and to Marian Seldes; the actress who portrayed an actress. SPECIAL NOTE: Himan Brown plays the role of Rudy in this. The music had tracks that expressed pensiveness, wistfulness, love, loss, and lust. The sound effects really got to me, especially at the 19-minute mark where everything’s quiet at first and suddenly the sound of a bomb exploding occurs. The sounds of the footsteps, doors, crowd applause, audience screaming, fire alarm, beeping at the Hospital scene, people murmuring at the train station, and classical music played in the background were effective. Now here’s why I didn''t rate this 5 out of 5 stars: our Host. In her Prologue, Tammy Grimes makes a good intro by quoting the lines from AS YOU LIKE IT from William Shakespeare. But then in ACT-1, she talks about falling in love with great actors/actresses like Eleanora at the Jefferson Theatre in Washington. But Eleanora isn’t real, so how can she admire an actress that doesn’t exist??? Later on, Tammy Grimes explains that our main character is about to play the biggest role in her life: a savior for the Secret Society (which happens to be a rebellious group). In ACT-2, after explaining Eleanora’s past continues to frighten her, Tammy Grimes mentions that Eleanora is an innocent bystander and is caught up in a world of terror (seems like our Host is repeating her narrations from the first Act). In ACT-3, she mentions that love loses its luster. In the end, she mentions that our main character got to play Juliet twice and never came back for the curtain call (want to take a guess on what happened to her?) In her Epilogue, Tammy Grimes points out that this is a love story that ended unhappily (even though we already knew that) and finishes her narrations from the last lines of ROMEO & JULIET. Her narrations were helpful to explain the story, but her words in the first Act were perplexed. And as for the writing of this CBSRMT episode, James Agate, Jr. wrote a decent Drama-Mystery that was entertaining, but could’ve improved. For instant, the plot of this story is about an actress, who is about to play Juliet from a Shakespearean classic, reminisces the days she fell in love with a Secret Society Leader and then lost him. Now, would it make more sense if this character, who’s about to play Juliet, had an old lover that was very much like Romeo? Plus, there wasn’t enough romance between Eleanora & Misha. The dialogue was there, but the character description of him wasn’t. He had spirit for his cause, but not enough to express affection/fondness towards her. Another way to Title this would be “The Fire Withinâ€ because that’s how Eleanora felt about the situation. Another title would work is “Five Years Agoâ€ because that’s how far back the story went. If you’re a fan of Marian Seldes and/or Lloyd Battista, tune into this one. Plus, it has a commercial of the Bank of Ravenswood with its number: 989-3102. Also, it has a CBS news report on Ronald Reagan at the very end. Until next time…pleasant dreams. =0)', '2016-02-29 09:22:38', 1, 'ccd1f87ecb01b8d85923e8d1defc910b', '104.131.75.86'),

One was about two friends from Ohio who went to (the Civil) war and met their end on the battlefields of Tennessee, another \\"An occurence at Owl Creek Bridge\\". I think he also wrote a story which was the basis for the RMT play \\"The rivals\\". All were Civil War stories - Bierce was a Civil War veteran himself.

Indeed, Doyle lived way before and never knew the latter (with her slow, psychodramatic love stories on the RMT) but it almost feels like he honors her here albeit with his signature flair, detail and edginess..."The Parasite" is essentially a one-sided love affair. Sir Arthur made some wonderful non-Sherlock Holmes short stories.\r\n\r\n2. There have been several well-done vampire tales on the RMT. This show is a variation on that theme, where instead of gobbling blood the antagonist goes after (for lack of a better phrase) the life force of her paramour. The RMT had one other similar tale - the downbeat, somewhat-strangely-named "The 800 pound gorilla" starring Mandel Kramer, Earl Hammond and Teri Keane. In that story everyone we cared about bit the dust. I liked this show better, and it had some humor to it (listen, for example, to Rose''s fellow educator discuss his classroom antics while "under the spell").\r\n\r\n(And one of my favorite moments is at the very beginning of the first act, right after E.G. says the words "Gilbert...Gilroy")\r\n\r\n3. That''s when one of the best. RMT. Music beds. EVER. sounds.\r\n\r\nIt''s a shrill, almost off-key piccolo alongside a glockenspiel or other mallet instrument chime, joined seconds later by a bass or contra-bass clarinet* beneath hitting what I think is the lowest "A" note possible, followed moments later by an oboe and bassoon. It''s essentially a gothic woodwind quartet, playing an ominous, sinister sound that so well sets the listener on edge. Which is why it''s such a good counterpoint to...\r\n\r\n4.

I''ve worked hard for that distinction."\r\n\r\nJust because one was doing a monologue on the RMT didn''t necessarily mean one''s character was going to make it through the episode. However, the slight smile in Rose''s voice is, without going any further, reassuring - especially alongside the aforementioned music.\r\n\r\nNot the most action-packed, but a fun listen regardless, IMO.\r\n\r\n* I believe a case could be made, were one ever to ask "What was the favorite instrument of the composers of the CBS/Twilight Zone/RMT music", that the answer would appear to be "bass clarinet".\r\n\r\nFrom the long soliloquy on the signature RMT theme to several music interludes both jazzy and sinister, this instrument was lovingly used with frequency.

That stirs up all kinds of images and keeps stirring them up even after you are home safe in your bed. If you want blood and gore just watch the medical channel on cable. If you want great terror, keep listening to OTR.', '2013-01-24 16:05:21', 1, 'c305de6fa47a70325136db1a5250d066', '112.200.13.156');

In the film, the Americans visit an inn and receive weird looks; after they leave, the men are sent out to find the boys who, of course, end up getting attacked by a werewolf. The maze in \\"The Shining\\" also came to mind when the couple became lost in the woods.\r\n\r\nThe shrieks at the end of the show rank as a great RMT moment. The actor portraying the witch has (had) a great voice with a seductive quality that was perfect for this character (as well as ...Three Times).\r\n\r\nOnce again I am amazed by the number of quality shows RMT produced. There are literally hundreds of solid, entertaining shows, in addition to the classics (such as \\"Carmilla\\"). In retrospect, I am surprised there were not more clunkers.\r\n\r\nAs we have discussed before, there were a number of RMTs that featured witches. Other than murder mysteries, it may have been the most popular theme for RMTs, except possibly for space aliens. It would be interesting to see a table breaking down plots by type for RMT.

They had this huge display with thousands of miniature soldiers on a highly detailed battlefield. That''s what I envisioned, when they were describing Oliver''s recreation of Shiloh. When I returned from Gettysburg, I took a whole bunch of miniature (HO scale) Civil War soldiers I had (Only @ 100) and set up my own display among my Father''s train set. I used cotton balls for explosion just as they had at the museum, etc. So, this episode brought back all these memories. Plus, I''ve always been a wargame aficionado. So, I could imagine trying to recreate a battle as it really happened-- maneuvering the individual units along the same "Paths of Glory" as Oliver was.\r\n\r\nAlso, as mentioned in the previous post, we all have that "Fantasy World" we inhabit. I''m a free-lance artist and part-time art instructor (mostly after school programs). I mostly teach elementary -- sometimes junior high kids --cartooning and comic book art-- so I''ve always been creating my own super-heroes and fantasy worlds which I definately inhabit from time to time.\r\n\r\nFor all these reasons, this episode struck a chord for me. My only complaint is the story seemed to run out of time-- It ends so abruptly. But, then again, it made you really wonder-- Did Dr. Heckman call him back in time? Which world finally claimed him? Ambiguous endings, which challenge you to interpret what happened next, really are the strongest.\r\n\r\nBy the way, my War''s: WW1 (My grandfather fought in it-- we have a bunch of his medals, maps, equipment, etc.-- so it''s always made it very personal for me)....I could drive you crazy.......Well, I have to get going.

(3832, '1392', 'episode', 'B. Huab', '', 'A couple of thoughts on this one:\r\n\r\n1. Nice choice.\r\n\r\n2. It''s always fun to hear Himan Brown in an episode. (Someone once said it was annoying to hear the late, talented Mercedes McCambridge with her sixty-something, Marlboro-scoured vocal cords play a young lady which she was frequently called upon to do and, IMO, did well to the best of her abilities. It''s interesting hearing Hi Brown play a college kid, too, as he briefly did in an episode.) Hated that he had to play a lecherous would-be rapist who loses an eye in a cat attack in this one, but that''s the way the RMT goes.\r\n\r\n3. Speaking of "voices", Russel Horton and Robert Kaliban had two very (IMO) similar sounding ones, yet they were paired (usually with good results) in the RMT more than once. Another RMT play with these two guys that''s interesting, albeit based on real-life Soviet policy than supernatural tales, is "If I can''t have you" - not based around the eponymous Yvonne Elliman song but rather has the two of them playing highly-esteemed, high-strung Soviet musicians who cuckold each others'' spouses/significant others, who in turn eventually all "rat each other out" to the authorities out of jealousy which finally leads to them all getting sent to the same Gulag-style prison.

(3833, '1392', 'episode', 'Lorenz V.', '', 'This was one of the first RMT''s I ever heard. It''s a fun little, supernatural tale. Has some good "creepy" moments, especially when Holly is transformed into a feline assassin herself. The end has a nice poetic twist to it, where Kitty meets her downfall at the "paws" of a canine.\r\n\r\nUnlike Mr. Miller though, I''m a cat lover, but sometimes you do have to wonder if there''s more to them than meets the eye (assuming they haven''t been scratched out yet!).\r\n\r\nA good double feature is to listen to "The Tenth Life" with this episode! It''s another creepy "Cat Lady" tale with supernatural overtones.\r\n\r\nKurt brought up an interesting point about actors with similar voices preforming in the same episode. I thought Bob Kaliban and Russell Horton sounded different enough in this episode that it worked just fine, but in the aforementioned "If I Can''t Have You"-- I had real problems following the story the first time through, ''cause Kaliban and Horton (playing contemporaries) were very difficult to differentiate. Another episode with the same problem, that really drove me nuts was "Ghost at High Noon" with Celeste Holm and Frances Sternhagen. I gave up trying to figure out who was speaking to whom. Both episodes I enjoyed, but this situation was distracting.\r\n\r\nSpeaking of voices, I also enjoy the "cameos" by Himan Brown.

(3834, '1392', 'episode', 'Joanne Mina', '', 'A few extra thoughts after hearing this episode again for the first time in a few years:\r\n\r\n- Teri Keane''s "Kitty" gets pretty steamed recalling to the detective how mummified cats were shipped from Egypt to England to use as fertilizer.\r\n\r\nI "googled" that and, sho'' ''nuff, in 1888 at Beni Hasan, Egypt...\r\n\r\n- Speaking of that sequence, I noticed a few times here that whoever was handling the music was a bit quick on the draw...it would start a bit before the end of a key sentence, normally the time when the music "sounders" would be played.\r\n\r\n- Great use of music in this one nonetheless. I don''t have the time stamps right now, but there was a kalimba/electronic keyboard sounding interlude played at each time when either the detective or the professor saw the "cat shrine" in the girls'' apartment. This is the same unnerving music bed used in perhaps the all-time most disturbing RMT, "Star Sapphire", whenever Fred Gwynne''s character was hypnotizing his adopted daughter with his sapphire ring.\r\n\r\n- Now, not much was made of how Kitty''s sister knew the attacker (and may have spent some, er, "intimate" time with him) whom she gouged the eye of. What was up with that? Was Kitty controlling her or was that lil'' sis'' own doing?\r\n\r\n- Another thing...not saying it''s never happened, but it''s not every day, I''m guessing, that a girl at the local strip club is the daughter of an apparently respected professor of Egyptian studies as Miss Methune was. Nothing inexcusable, just an unusual element on this one.\r\n\r\n- Going back to Horton and Kaliban and their similar voices - it seemed on second listening that for the most part the director of this show made a careful effort to have one, the other or both in a "character" voice whenever they were in the same scene. The one time they both talked normally (as the two detectives who were friends and partners on the police force) I found myself having to concentrate on determining who was who.\r\n\r\n- Of all the RMTs I''ve listened to Kaliban probably had better, or at least more, vocal "characters" than Horton (loved listening to them both - Kaliban after the RMT had a career doing voices on secular children''s programming - he was with former RMT player Robert Morse in the musical "How to succeed in business without really trying" so I''m guessing he had some good musical talents as well).\r\n\r\nWith that in mind, I got a kick out of his audio Al Jolson impersonation as the porter at show''s end.\r\n\r\n- Speaking on a personal note with that final train scene in mind. We had our schnoodle dog before we adopted both our cats. Indeed, both cats were very suspicious of the dog at first, constantly hissing at him with our male cat (or kitten, as he was then) Mordecai raising all the hair on his back whenever our dog Shadow came in sight.\r\n\r\nNow, though, Mordecai and Shadow are like brothers. When I take Shadow for a walk if he''s outside Mordecai always follows us to our destination and back. So does Nicolette, the female "kitty", whom Shadow seems to look out for as an older brother. If a cat menaces her I unleash him from his collar, he chases away the culprit, and sister walks away next to brother. (Sometimes she likes to sprint right in front of him like "Hey, don''t forget me", like a kid sister will do, I''m guessing.)\r\n\r\nAmazing what animals put in a family can be like. Now, I wouldn''t dare try to adopt a hamster with this crew, but that''s a different story.', '2013-01-30 16:06:04', 1, '3a97119fddd9f1675cae49b34a1064c6', '112.200.13.156'),

On the other hand, Kitty was willing to sacrifice her sister later in the episode, in a failed attempt to kill the detective who was hounding her.\r\n\r\nI was also curious about the attack launched by the "good" sister who injured the man''s eye. Was she under the influence of her evil sister?\r\n\r\nI did not forsee the ending and found it enjoyable and appropriate. Marshall''s comments were interesting too.
