Good review. I saw this one again recently when TCM aired it, and it does hold up wonderfully. I too loved that little moment from Harris showing Kranz's relief. (One tiny correction -- Mattingly never actually tested positive for measles, which leads to a wryly funny line reading from Sinise. He was exposed and had never had it, which is why they left him home. And it's hard to see what else they could have done; you raise a very interesting point there about the anti-medical thread.)

You're right! He was exposed, not positive. Fixing!
