Thanks for recommending this episode!

Unfortunately, I can't hear the name "Prometheus" without remembering when I used to work in midtown Atlanta, before we moved back to the Ozarks, and some weird bookstore in that part of the city had a full size finely-illustrated poster of a man with that name - stark naked - in their window. I don't know why and I wasn't interested in finding out.

This one had some of my favorite actors, and unfortunately I'm not at my other computer with the .mp3 file to identify it. The man who played the future son-in-law...I've always noticed how he had a voice like a young Fred Gwynne. I wonder if the RMT writers ever paired them as a father and son in any episode?

The man who played "Vern" is also always a pleasure to listen to...if someone doesn't beat me to it here if I'm ever nominated for a show of the week in the future I may in turn nominate one of that actor's finest works (and one of the finest, IMO, RMT shows) in "The hand". I also like the actor who played the private investigator...his work was always good, whether as a lion-bait phone repairman in "The house on chimney pot lane", the mysterious business client/ex-husband in "The 800 pound gorilla" or one of the crew members in "The captain of the polestar"...he's good.

In the end...E.G. seemed to hint we'd never know exactly why the man at the end was consumed by fire. Interesting ending, very interesting morality tale.
