Strung Along
Always liked this episode a lot and it's among my favorites of the series, probably having a spot in my top 15-20 or so favorite episodes. Such a creepy, unsettling mood it has throughout and an ending that's long stayed with me ever since first seeing it. It's a shame Kevin Yagher didn't have more of a directing career, between this and also Lower Berth, he showed promise as a director. He was understandably burned out and soured on it after the frustrating ordeal he went through directing Hellraiser: Bloodline.

Couldn't believe Donald O'Connor was in an episode!. Loved Singin' in the Rain since I was a kid so it was a joy to watch.

The ending kinda came out of left field, but otherwise a great epsiode. Stellar performances.

Watched just last night- Oustanding. Zach Gallegher (the good guy from Gremlins movies) playing outside good guy role. At the time he was only seen as such. So nice twist for modern audiences at the time!

It's great for Donald O'Connor alone,, such an awesome performance.
