My wife and I have binge watched AoS over the last few weeks, and generally it has been absolutely brilliant. The only fly in the ointment has been Mack. He has whined his way throughout the series, or shown himself to be a vacillating, bible punching hypocrite. The whole series could have been ten times better without his childish whining. But in this episode he has outdone himself. What a baby! There are about six episodes left to the end of AoS, and in that time I hope he redeems himself, but by his historical characterisations there is little chance of that. What a waster!!! And now I am 16 letters short - ha!
No-one seems to have noticed that Shatterday seems to be a re-write of Anthony Armstrong's 1940 short story "The Strange Case of Mr Pelham", which he re-wrote into a novel in 1957. Alfred Hitchcock redirected it with a similar title, The Case of Mr Pelham, in series 1 episode 10 of Alfred Hitchcock presents in 1955. At least Hitchcock admitted where the story originated; TTZ claims it is based on a story by Harlan Ellison. So who plagiarized who? Considering Ellison was not born until 1934, I proposed he plagiarized the story concept and TTZ were implicit! So I give it 2 stars for a good story, but am disappointed that it is so sadly unoriginal!
