Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed critique Bob. While I'm not quite as enthusiastic about the episode as you are I think it is very strong overall and along with a few others like THE RAT and TILL DEATH DO US JOIN it holds up on repeat listening. 

One of the most depressing things about being obsessed with CBSRMT is how little is written about it on the net - even this terrific site is mostly dry info. I'd love to see more comments and analysis overall. I'm seriously considering starting a blog where I review each episode one by one!
