I rate this episode ★★★★★ for EXCELLENT. It's combines the Drama-Mystery and the Fantasy-Mystery together. Drama, because it is a battle of the sexes. 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. Box 8646 Albany, NY 12208. Until next time…pleasant dreams. =^D
