This is one that I remembered very well from when it first ran, even 30+ years later.
This feels more than a little like Time After Time, yet manages to be both more haunting and poignant. It's resolution isn't heartbreaking as much as it is heart aching, like a toothache.
It seems frivolous and cheeky to describe a form of love as a toothache, but that's what it's like. Some incredibly painful situation that nobody else can see and that, at best, you can dull a little.
Before all that, Charity's marvel at Peter flying through the clouds on a jet is exhilarating, just as her knowledge of the Bomb is devastating. Rare story that makes you see the world like a child.
Aside from all that, as a Trek fan, it's quite fascinating to see Robert Duncan McNeil in this earlier role as a geek. I remembered the episode, but didn't remember Robbie being in it.
I think that's because Robbie had buffed up a lot before his Trek appearances. It's a bit of a mind trip, the geek in this episode vs the hottie he became. I won't even try to unravel that, feels like a primal part of our nature, but it's quite weird to behold.
