Yesterday was Veterans Day in the U.S. In other countries it was Remembrance Day. The point is that we were all involved in a contemplative and important endeavor. The folks at the SyFy Channel did what they often do on holidays, they ran a Twilight Zone marathon. One of the episodes I watched was The Hitch-Hiker. You can read about that here, but that’s not what caught my attention.
There’s a scene in the episode where the female main character tries to convince a gas station owner to open up after hours and sell her some gas. As soon as I heard the response from the gas station owner, I recognized the voice as Jackson, one of the survivors in Piedmont in the original movie version of The Andromeda Strain.
It’s funny how sometimes, a sound triggers a memory that an images doesn’t. The same actor played both characters, but they didn’t look alike, yet the voice was the same.

I didn’t even have to turn around and look I heard the sound, and I knew that the guy had dropped a prybar.
