"From Agnes - with Love" is another silly episode of "The Twilight Zone". The plot wants to be funny, but it is not. The gorgeous Sue Randall steals the show with her beauty, and it is hard to understand why she dates the stupid nerd Elwood. The conclusion with the computer falling in unrequited love with Elwood is awful. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "De Agnes, com Amor" ("From Agnes, with Love")
The computer gives a glimpse of how primitive things were. People were really afraid they would take over the lives of all the people.
You can't ask certain kinds of questions and expect to get answers even today. They just are sequencers - one thing after another.
The old man in the cave and Mr. Whipple are great examples of the fear and expectations people had back then.
What is lacking is ... what exactly? The intelligence of a 4 year old? We can't define it.

- TriviaWhen Agnes opens the doors to communicate, there are a few phrases that apparently make no sense. AUT AMAT AUT ODIT FEMINA is Latin for "a woman either loves or hates". Also T'MA ZHILI BYLI and V TUMANE are stories by Russian author Leonid Andreyev. They translate to "Once There Lived", and "In the Fog", both controversial stories about women's sexuality.
- GoofsThe 17th root of 9,355,126,606 is 3.8595114, so the next-greatest prime number is 5. If this were the actual problem, then Agnes was correct. The error was Elwood saying "nine trillion", when it was actually "nine billion"
