This is a great example of simplistic storytelling from the RMT. Great choice! I really enjoyed it. It had a reminiscent quality of the old Outer Limits and Twilight Zone shows I grew up watching.

While the show didn't strike me as terribly deep, it certainly masked a lot of metaphors of time. From the train and the train tracks, to the cycle of driving from one end of the town only to come back full circle into the same place, to the creeping vines that had eventually grown over the town when he returned.

One thing that struck me was in regard to the people of the town. I was surprised that there was not more widespread aggression toward the situation. When the one man became volatile about wanting to get out, everyone seemed passive and even said, "I guess I never looked at it from his point of view" (or something like that).

Now this is just me, but I think I would either have gone berserk trying to find my way outta there, no matter what -- never stopping, never accepting the way things were -- or, I'd have simply become content with the way things existed and enjoyed the benefits of never growing old and never having to worry. Despite the evidence against it, it still sounds like a utopia to me!

The only other thing that surprised me was that there was no spiritual mention in the show. Usually a show like this has some kind of priest or spiritualistic character talking about the will of God or something. Just interesting, is all.

I gave the show a hearty 4.4, as it was fun and easy to listen to, but for me there was a bit of depth that was lacking that I've found in other shows. Great choice and thanks for picking it!
