You're nuts. Granted, "The Man Who Was Never Born" was an incredible piece of television with Landau's powerful performance and the proto-Terminator plotline, but Lomax's monologue at the end of "O.B.I.T." is one of the finest scenes in the whole series! Total Cold War scifi paranoia!

Great review, Dave. Each and every time you post one of these, I regret not getting into these toys when they came out (I was broke back then, and never bothered to correct that mistake later...).

Ironically, I usually enjoy a good courtroom drama, which OBIT basically was despite not taking place in a courtroom. But this one seemed to drag a little bit and the episode basically has a built in spoiler.. you KNOW Lomax is the monster from the get go, so his reveal and subsequent rant seemed rather anti-climactic to me.
