- Quotes
Rod Serling: [closing narration] What do we do when our world is turned upside down? When everything we thought to be true is ripped away and we're forced to face a new reality? Sophie Gelson has just awoken to the fact that when we put away childish things, we may be closing our eyes instead of opening them and that perhaps our only hope is to face our reality. A multitude of truths not shrinking from that vital, arrogant, fatal, dominant X beyond imagination, but to embrace it. Top open ourselves to the unknown. Not the end of the story, but a new beginning for the Twilight Zone.

It starts off conventionally enough with Seth Rogen as the gust star seeing the apocalypse. However it is when Jordan Peele appears things change. Peele does not like his lines.
The writer Sophie Gelson (Zazie Beetz) needs to quickly come up with a rewrite. Something from within her heart or soul. This is a show she loved to watch as a child, under pressure, someone has noticed that there is a blurry figure in the scenes that were shot.
There is a clip from Time Enough at Last starring Burgess Meredith. I saw this episode in the early 1980s and still remember it, particularly the cruel ironic ending. I cannot remember much of the the new series a few hours after I have seen it.
At least this one will be more memorable even if it is just for the reveal of the Blurryman.
