A lot of us have talked about the twist endings...Some of the TZ episodes would be better without them. Other episodes don't really need the patented TZ ending. Whilst other episodes are made special by the very present of the twist ending....
Some of my thoughts about various twist endings. Just for fun, as I'm not working today I'll rate the twist as neutral, positive, negative
Some of my thoughts about various twist endings. Just for fun, as I'm not working today I'll rate the twist as neutral, positive, negative
A Game of Pool...Twist-Neutral The twist was OK...it made me ponder what his afterlife in heaven would be like. Actually it didn't seem much like heaven, maybe that's not where he went, ha.
A Nice Place to Visit...Twist-Positive The Twist with Pip laughing at the criminals predicament in the afterlife was priceless and made the show.
A Passage for Trumpet...Twist-Neutral Not sure if finding out that the trumpet player had been in the land of the dead made the episode better or not, but it worked.
An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge...Twist-Positive The classic TZ ending, on a first viewing it really hits ya.
It's a Good Life...Twist-None The strength of this one is no twist ending, no hope only constant terror. Perfect because of the lack of the usual TZ ending.
The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street..Twist-Negative As much as I like and respect this classic episode the reveal of aliens causing the mysterious power outage IMO undermines the importance of the story: hysterics-fear equal mob role.
Nothing in the Dark...Twist-Positive Without the classic twist resolve the story just wouldn't work, so it's perfect.
One for the Angels...Twist-Positive The Twist here feels well written into the story and is an intricate part of the third act.
Time Enough At Last...Twist-Positive But the story would've worked equally well if Burgess Meredith did really have all the time he had always wanted to read books.
Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?...Twist-Positive The ending is the big payoff and for a comedy episode the twist is right in line with the comic theme.
