This particular double episode is typical of all the series of VR 5. It is excellent. I was a fan when it aired on FOX television and was blessed when I saw the soundtrack in a price slasher bin in a suburban Philadelphia store. Years later it began to air on the SCI-FI channel and I could not get videocassettes from Rhino or the scifi.com web store. (Bast...) Fortunately for all of us Amazon.com is getting them and making them available. I've been spreading the word. (No, I don't work for them.)... (Could I?)... Anyway, This whole series preceded the movie "The Net" which had almost plagiaristic similarities. Since then several television series have come and quickly gone trying to capture the magic woven by the shows writers and producers. Obviously the on screen talent is exceptional, but I think they get enough press on their own. (This is starting to sound like a plug.) I highly recommend each and every episode, including this one, in the series. It does what few producers are willing to do: Go off on a high note. Leave us wanting more, rather than flashback and dream sequence episodes when the idea well is running dry. Then our last memories of our favorite shows become tainted and we long for the early season's re-runs. But enough about "The X-Files", find the soundtrack wherever you can (maybe Amazon.com will even find it for you (hint to web survey editor) and immerse yourself in cyberpunk.
