A really beautiful episode and apparently one of his favourites. That moment at the end where he realises what's happening - "Oh, it's me! I'm the one it finds!" - so touching and such a wonderful performance.

Richard Riehle, the friend in that episode passed on quite recently as well. Was also in Office Space and a fantastic satire about scope creep in projects for the military, of all things.

Yes it's my favourite too. For some reason I had set the VCR when it first aired and I'm really happy I did.

I learned today that the son in that episode is Patrick Stewart's son.

It's a wonderful episode, always in the Top 10.

I thought it was a lovely version of an ancient idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuangzi_(book)#%22The_Butterf...
