Summary:

About 4.12 Kansas - In the US, about four months separated this episode from the one that preceded it, 4.11 Unrealized Realities. We were rewarded for our patience with a fascinating and entertaining adventure; a revealing look at Crichton's past. Crichton returns home, his home as it was on Halloween 1985. But "Einstein" warned Crichton in UR that returning to his place of origin before he left in 1999 would result in a unrealized - an alternate - reality. In this version of 1985 Crichton's astronaut father and the inspiration of his scientific journey, Jack, is set to be the captain of the ill-fated Challenger mission in January 1986. Crichton and his Moya friends must work against time to correct the timeline.

Today, the song is highly regarded by Beatles fans as one of the band's best - if somewhat dark - works. This particular rendition has a little history of its own. In 1978 a film version of St. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was released with much fanfare.
