This for me is the most powerful episode I've seen, probably because I saw it in the 1980s, when we were all convinced that Thatcher and Reagan were going to lead us into a real nuclear war. the way they turn on each other so readily is just terrifying.

The Simpsons parodied this episode brilliantly, when everyone crams into Ned Flanders' shelter, and they vote on who has to be kicked out because there isn't enough room, and it ends up being Neddie himself!
