"The Tormentors" is definitely one of the much better episodes of the series, and of the first season. We get treated by Lew Ayres, Ed Asner, Judee Morton and Kurt Russell as the focus of the episode.
But what may make this episode stand out is that this marks the first appearance of William Reynolds. In this season, and in Season 2, he has guest roles, and has yet to make his mark as SAC Tom Colby, which he would be so known for in the series' run. From the standpoint of the series, the episode was an omen of what was to follow in terms of its regular cast.
And like other Season 1 episodes, there is no opening or closing narration. Viewers would have to wait until that September to hear the voice of Marvin Miller. Not that it really mattered. This is a fine episode!
