    Took 40 min for the last 5 to be worth it

    Wow, it took a really long build up. Slight twist from what I expected, but not much. 1st episode was awesome. But down hill from there.

    I hope they luck into a second season so that maybe they can regroup and bring some great stories. At worse, episode 1 got my kids interested in the show. So we now watch the originals too. Granted, not all if those were gone rubs, but quite a few were....even after 36 years of watching it the first time.

    Improvement

    This was improvement on the last two episodes, not as good as the first but getting better. I suspect this show could have really been done better in 30 or maybe 45 minutes. There was a bit of filler. The acting as usual was great and technical standards, including special effects, was very good. They story just needed a bit more umph. Still a worthwhile watch but still not as good as I expected.

    Just plain bad

    Why did I keep watching and wasting my time? I guess I kept waiting for it to get better, but it never did. This episode made no sense at all. I would recommend skipping it and not wasting your time on it.

    So Far, the Best in the Series

    So far, this is, easily, the best episode in the series. It's, primarily, for two reasons. First, this is the only episode that's actually sci-fi. The first four, are all fantasy. I love good sci-fi, and don't have as much use for fantasy. So, I'm a bit biased.

    The second reason, is that this episode seems to be the most serious. The first three had that "kiddy" vibe to them; albiet to different degrees. I feel as if they may have been intended for a younger audience. They're not bad, but they're not nearly as good as this one.

    This episode felt a lot more like what you'd see in the later "Outer Limits" series -- the one that aired in the 90's; but updated for our modern time.

    I'll admit that I'm a bit baffled by the person who gave this episode one star. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. However, compared to the first three, this one stands out, to me.

    If you like sci-fi, I suspect you'll enjoy this one. It's decent enough, for a short-story, anthology episode -- which is exactly what this show is all about.

    I should also add that, if this is the first review that you're reading, pertaining to this episode, I suggest that you stop reading the other reviews, until after you've watched the episode. This is because, some of those reviews have spoilers in their titles. At least, to me, they're spoilers; since I like to know absolutely nothing before watching a movie/show.

    Going in blind, certainly helps this story.

      At the 47.32 mark you see blood spreading from Sarah's chest. That could only happen if the bullet went through her body. In which case it would have continued on and hit whoever was standing in front of her.
