I have nothing clever to say.
Which has certainly never stopped me from my obligatory daily post before.
Maybe it is the serious subject matter — a Viet Nam vet having psychological problems.
Or maybe just because it is just a really fine episode.
Sadly it does not seem to be on YouTube or Hulu. Wherever you happen to find it, it is well-worth a watch. Some places cite it as the best segment of the series and I can believe that. [UPDATE — YouTube link in Comments]
Post-Post:
- The original short story by Robert McCammon is followed almost exactly. The only significant difference is a visit from a couple of Men in Black at the end of the print version.
- And whatever happened to that hot agent at the end of MIB? That’s the sequel I wanted to see.
- Recommended: Swan Song also by Robert R. McCammon. Perennial referral for people who have just read The Stand.
- The sheriff is played by the son of William Benteen. He was also a guest star on the greatest episode ever of The Rockford Files.
