Brilliant episode.

Warning: Spoilers
I loved this episode not only because it stars the great Burgess Meredith who is one of my all time favourite stars,but the atmosphere it generates and the little guy standing up to the big guy i e government/ corporates etc. A good performance from Fritz Weaver as usual and the way it all turns sour for him i really enjoyed. It sends a message out at the time of the cold war which is as very relevant today regarding oppression of people as we are beginning to see in most of Europe and especially the UK where the government can ride roughshod over its people and treat disabled people not much better than criminals. A round of applause for the obsolete man.
