Pretty standard whodunit... except it takes place 700 years in the future on a spaceship. Maybe sci-fi fans will get more out of this than I did. Oh, and just so you know, that synopsis above isn't literally what happens in the episode. The audio quality isn't great on this one.

Ok - Sci-fi mystery. Decent plot and nicely played. Sit back and enjoy

A sci-fi whodunnit of the highest order! They don't make 'em like this anymore. Truly a delight. I listened to this one several times. I wish there were more like this.

Highly entertaining episode! Captain was delightfully, horribly acted! Fun listen!

Melanie C

Embarrassingly bad. This had to be a first (and only) read for the man playing the captain. Paul Hecht (unsurprisingly) was a pro with his part but he couldn’t carry the show despite his best attempt.

Greg

Not my kind if story at all. I found it boring. Oh, well.

Rachel

A very vanilla episode - no real suspense and quite predictable. The manner by which they try to figure out who the killer was very illogical to me. Best thing was the correlation between the space shuttle references in the script aligning with the news at the tail end (after the clock commercial) that talks about the launch of the Columbia shuttle piloted by John Young and “rookie” Robert Crippen (who happened to become a very experienced pilot.)
