Thank you for the shoutout! The inner voices in our heads don't shut up sometimes. Thank you for explaining it so eloquently. We want that pocket of time to exist without a care in the world. Yes! I'm from Brooklyn, New York, and NY is sometimes Twilight Zone and Outer Limits rolled into one! People in our generation from NY grew up watching Twilight Zone Marathons on WPIX 11. We loved them so much. Btw, I love your intro; the music is excellent. I always liked this episode, but you're right about insufficient time for character development. Perhaps it would've been enough if they had just had him transform only once. 4 is stretching it for a 1/2 show. This would've fit better in the hour-long season 4 eps. of TZ. I would LOVE to look like Cindy Crawford! Lol. Great research on Plastic Surgery. It's far more complicated than it seems. Social media is out of control with weird, fuzzy filters and surgeries. It's so fake. I recently learned of a scary surgery in Asia that makes their faces look stretched and waxen. It wipes away every wrinkle - and most importantly, for the one getting surgery - they look oddly child-like and youthful. It's done out of vanity and is not corrective. Everything is possible in the Twilight Zone. Yet even when he restructures his face, the men's bodies would be very different. Did that change, too? I had a similar issue with "Face Off" with John Travolta and Nic Cage. I guess we have to go with the flow. LOL @ the "Reply to all" Email Face! It's scary how fast AI has progressed to Deep Fakes. It can be used for terrible things. It's sad. Young People's online attention spans are 30 seconds or less, so it will be much easier to fool them! I'm not too young, but my attention span has worsened over the last 27 years or so I've used the Internet. This episode had the most shocking ending! Did Andy commit murder? Was he abusive to someone they loved? His mom? It's the only thing that can explain his father's actions. And the REAL Andy may still be out there somewhere. It leaves a lot of questions. The father could've turned him over to the police if that was the case.

Wonderful review and I enjoyed your questions and additional thoughts on facial surgery and the dangers on the horizon thanks to deepfake tech. Also, to your point about TZ being like pizza, I agree fully. It's unique in that way because there are other shows with clunker episodes too, but I don't have the same love for the show to still plow through.

This episode breakdown was great. Always tons of research and information. The last part with AI is pretty scary. Your example drove the point with clarity and balanced it with our human emotion feeling vulnerable to this new technology. Unfortunately I just found out my wife is a robot. I should have known. I met her at a RadioShack.

I rewatched the episode a few weeks ago: A tragic ending, but needed to transport the message of the story. As you mentioned, it lacks a bit of depth. I think this is due to the variety of people and the short running time of the episode. Still an interesting topic to discuss though! :)

[@thekeyofimagination]

Agreed. Great points.

This TZ Episode is a middle of the road one for me. Nice concept but I think they could have done a lost more with it. Action, Bank heist, 1 hour long show. Be that as it may. As for your questions: 1. I dont get people who get or want Plastic Surgery for Vain reasons. I understand Defects from birth, or accident but to look younger or a smaller nose or rounder eyes is so bad. My example? Madonna, Nuff Said. People who lighten or darken their skin, or round their eyes, or put in fake butt implants to fit, just make themselves stand out more, get made fun of, and suffer more mental issues. 2. Even if someone were able to get 100% of the physical stuff down (Voice, Private Parts, Scares) the ticks, mannerisms, and habits on a day to day basis would be a such an unknown. If It was a person you hooked up with once a month yeah because that is so shallow to begin with but, if they person comes home 7 days a week, throws their dirty clothes in the corner, and sits down to eat, you would spot the fake in a day or two. Side story, my father (74) got a call about 2 years ago on his landline. He keeps it for emergency but not really used. He answered and it was a young male voice that seemed to be crying. Now I have 3 kids, Yuki, Kaiki (boys) Mizuki (girl). The voice said "Grandpa" and my dad replied "Yuki?" The voice replied "Yeah, I need help!" My father replied "What's wrong?" The voice stated they needed money. My father being a very sharp man said "Ok, tell me your dad's middle name." Now, My dad, I , and my 1st born son all have the same middle name. The voice replied "huh, what? I just need money can you help me?" My father hung up, then called me. My son was fine and at work (being 22 at the time). It was interesting story to hear. 3. My moment of awe with the final moments when the dad killed his own son. I, being the father of 3, can't see myself ever doing that to my child. Maybe if a life and death fight with a weapon, MAYBE. There was many of times my Father and Step-dad wanted to kill me for stuff I had done but thank god they did not quit on me. 4. As for your little AI Vid that you showed. It looked very faked, stiff, and mouth was all wrong. The vice was very mono tone and sounded like a Robocall you get about Political offices calling for money.
