your commentary on this episode is very interesting. I never considered that perhaps the whole thing was just stress-induced delusions (though being the Mystery Theater, I guess I just accepted the fantasy elements). I also appreciate your thoughts on the significance of the characters\' names.

I\'m curious why it seemingly took so long for the \"powers that be\" to set things right and switch the two men. Why was Jerry allowed to return from Nam, marry, and start a career? And what had Paul been doing all this time? Standing around talking with Mr. Death about the weather?
