Thanks, Fizzlestix.

1. Normally, I don't like any story on the RMT that has even a hint of "anti-military" about it.

However, in this case that was almost secondary to the plot, and was almost subverted by the plot twist. Nice coup by Victoria Dann.

2. One of my favorite Larry Haines performances.

Yeah, this is a good one. Having been involved with the military and with the civil service as a data/financial analyst, I can relate to the main character. The twist at the end was pretty cool! I remember the first time I heard it years ago, I was like WOW!

Great epsiode!

Death on Project X really had me going for a while, depsite it's slow pace and lackluster subject matter.

The performances, I thought were terrific as usual. The man who played the accountant (Robert Dryden?), was especially convincing in the role. I just really dug the whole concept, mainly because it happens to all of us at one point, when we're forced to wear many hats in our career or job.

The particularly disturbing twist at the end, left me wanting to know more. Immediately after it ended, I had to look at the status bar to see if it was over, or if there were still more left... to my disappointment, it was done.

Ah well... too bad it wasn't a five parter!

I gave the show a 4.6 - an nice pick by an even nicer feller! ;)
