Great episode. Being a commuter myself, I liked the way Bob Juhren used the occurance of losing track of time while on a train as a doorway to another dimension. Very simple and clever.

Juhren is so good at this "twilight zone" type of story. It's definitely a close cousin to Rod Serling's "A Stop at Willoughby", only more complex I think. (As a matter of fact, Serling's story takes place on the exact same train that I take--the MetroNorth New Haven line. And I always wake up when they call out the Stamford stop, just like the guy in the show! Serling must've done some commuting on that line himself.) This episode also reminded me a little of a short story by Clive Barker about a late-night New York subway train that goes to hell for its last stop--- although, of course, not as gruesome.

Super choice!

Until next time,
