(My DVDs are in another country, so I can't check right now.) Didn't Colin Gordon do two episodes as Number 2 and this was the second one, where the heat from above got turned up for him?

I thought we were already certain he was a spy of some kind from "Arrival" but I supposed I'll have to go back and watch it again to be sure.

This was certainly one of the more sci fi episodes of the series, since controlled dream manipulation is still not a reality, as far as I know. (Rover is a sci fi element in many episodes but always peripheral.)

I like your comment about the air ducts. There was a great scene in the short-lived TV series "The Middleman" in which a character comments about the size of the air ducts and is given a comicbook/sci-fi explanation which fits the TV series reality and is very funny.

In spite of this episode's good points, it has never been one of my favorites. I'm not sure why. You did a great job in your review, however.

Be seeing you.
