In another episode of the RMT calledThe Rise and Fall of the Fifth Reich, Walt Disney's head is defrosted and Mel Gibson is hovering above asking questions about the politics of filmmaking.

How far fetched can an RMT writer get before he/she comes up with an episode such as this one? I'll tell you. The kind of writer I wish that I could be. About half-way through the episode, I actually thought to myself, "Man... I wish I had come up with this concept!"

This is the kind of brilliant writing that makes this whole RMT experience more than a hobby, but just shy of an obsession. The descriptives in this episode were wonderful. The old, crusty building, the way the old man looked, and even how the narrator describes himself as a man with many names.

As for the espisode itself, the production was nothing fantastic in that it utilized very little in the area of sound effects or music to enhance the drama. If anything, the music was a little too strong, in my opinion. This was the kind of episode that could have used (what Hitchcock described in the flim Psycho as) Black &amp; White music (only violins and cellos).

But the thing about this tale is that it did not need any kind of high-end audio production. The character dialogue filled every gap perfectly and in a sensical way, even when the story went out of lineage to flashback. I never felt as though I missed a beat or was interrupted. A flawless tale, perhaps.

But most importantly about this show was that the writer used the most diabolical, sinister writing technique that an RMT writer could use: the absolute final moment twist ending. It's a surefire skill in writing that can only be used by the most confident craftspersons to blow the socks of the audience. And it did. I never saw this one coming. The build-up of the story took us down a tainted path which constructed our emotional deploration of these characters, only to flood them in our minds with herocism and honor at the very end.

The ending was as unfair as an unmarked cruiser on the highway, but I suppose, just as effective in its purpose.

I gave the show a high 5 for an incredibly creative and ingenuitive concept, wonderful writing, and par for course production. An excellent choice and one that I'm looking forward to hearing again.

I'm curious to read what others have thought on this one. It seems to me there is certainly an underlying emotional contract assigned with this story, especially for anyone of the Jewish faith. In that the story of Jesus is the ultimate story of goodness ever told, the story of Hitler in harsh contrast is perhaps the ultimate story of evilness ever told.

In any event, thanks for an excellent choice. Best wishes.
