I used to watch this series when I was in high school. Probably because of my maturity level I do not remember this one, but I saw it recently on"Me TV." This episode has a depth and content to it clearly missing from this genre at the time. It is introspective and touching at several points, all without dialog, most of the time. How this experience affects our hero leaves a lingering feeling as to how it we would handle it. Fight, flight and what comes after. Only the long running series "Gun Smoke" came close to having the moral content of this particular episode. Not a superhero, Josh's interest in the decanter of brandy/bourbon is human and interesting.

Kevin Kline's Performance Excellently Entertaining
24 August 2006
I think the most of the comments about this movie are fair. It is naive, improbable and, at times preachy. However, I disagree with any characterization of Kevin Kline's performance as less than great, whether he is portraying President Mitchell, standing in for him officially or doing an improv'. The segment toward the end of the film, when he and Sigourney Weaver are pulled over for the turn violation, and they do their version of "Tomorrow" from "Annie" is absolutely hilarious. This is one of those films that, for some reason or another, I keep going back to watch every so often, mainly because of its entertainment and values orientation. Our President and Congressional Delegations should care more about us than themselves. I'm still waiting, but I haven't seen that happen yet, nor have I seen a movie about the President of Slovenia. When I do I'll be sure to comment on it.
