an excellent analysis, to say the least. i was really lured into the first act, and actually felt the stress of being an honest (well, i try anyway) person.

the introduction of the devil was one of those devices found in television crime shows where a character you never heard of for 7/8 of a show, suddenly appears and ends up being the guilty party.

it would be okay to assume that the protagonist *did* actually try to get the details of his pension plan, but seeing as how he and his boss were friends, it might also be safe to assume that the boss just kept saying, \"don\'t you worry about a thing... it\'s all taken care of!\" and he would likely have bought it.

yes, i\'m being forgiving a bit. I enjoyed the show because the performances were as good as always and the production was as good as ever. but it was the story, that needed to bake for another few hours. i would assume that to be able to write show after show of this nature, there must have been some amount of pressure put on the writers to just \"get it done.\"<br>
