I like the thought that the Lady Anne was truly on its last voyage. No supernatural elements, just a crew and a ship full of elderly passengers ready to go down with a ship that meant so much to them. And, that they cared for the young couple so much, they wanted the pair to live on and experience the same fulfilled life and happiness they had.

[@shainewhite2781]

My guess is that the Lady Anne was a ghost ship and that the passengers are already dead, having finally crossed over and found peace and happiness...in The Twilight Zone.

[@Gojiro7]

id buy that if one guy didn't say his wife was already dead. honestly with everyone who was clearly alive trying to persuade them away from boarding the boat, I think all the old folk were all going on a Sucid trip to go down with the ship that meant the world to them

[@jameskelly3502]

​@Gojiro7 I agree. I always thought it was a joint (self delete) pact.

[@jrrr9219]

Nope. Everyone was alive. This was a suicide ship. The passengers knew that they would never reach port. This was the ships last voyage, and they went with it.

[@LordLOC]

@@jrrr9219 I don't think it was a "suicide ship", not when supernatural stuff is involved here. I think they just "crossed over" or something like that to be together with passed love ones or to be together forever in the afterlife etc.

@@LordLOC The episode basically spell it out for you. They're alive and going to kill themselves. Also, just because there might be something supernatural doesn't mean it's a ghost ship, it isn't.

I agree with Walter about the ending being rushed, and coming out of nowhere. Then again, I liked the twist of the happily married passengers helping the young couple to rekindle their floundering relationship.

[@darkwraith100]

So true

[@robertbingham8053]

I'm going to say I understand the rushed ending. The ending was obvious. I guessed it basically as soon as it was all old people asking them to leave. So, cut it short. It's what gave time for all those brilliant conversations and such.

[@g1xrider13]

If everyone were ghosts it wouldn’t explain why the travel agent was trying to talk them out of going. Maybe all the people on the ship who were all old and at the end of their lives with such fond memories of the Lady Anne, planned a collective suicide pact to sink the ship somewhere where it wouldn’t be found and some people knew about it. Maybe all those people were dying of terminal illnesses and wanted to die on their own terms.

As soon as the captain pulled a gun on the younger couple, I thought, "Well, THIS escalated quickly."

[@soren3569]

It is interesting after so many, "This episode shows how poorly the hour-long format was handled in season 4" complaints, we get one where we're basically left wishing for another 10-15 minutes to get proper closure (presumably with the couple trying to find out what happened to the Lady Anne, and maybe even getting a clue to the nature of the ship's mystery.

[@wakeangel2001]

I can see 2 possibilities, either this was a variation of the story where a living person finds themselves riding a boat down what turns out to be the river styx, or this was an elaborate mass suicide plan on the part of the crew and passengers and when a young couple got mixed in by mistake they didn't want to take them down with them.

[@MoonlitLycan]

From what the ending feels like, rushed or not, is that the Lady Anne isn't necessarily a ghost ship from the start but it _became_ one, with the Ransoms being forcibly removed from the ship and set adrift at sea because the ship and everyone aboard is sailing off into the literal afterlife, subsequently vanishing without any trace like the SS Waratah or the USS Cyclops.

[@Omar-wq9dz]

This feels like a spiritual successor to Changing Of The Guard, as you have a supernatural occurrence help show people what matters in life with others they know

[@trinaq]

Agreed, I loved the stories of the other passengers, and their tales could easily make a compelling spinoff.

Other than the ending, this looks like a great episode. I think what they should have done is have the ship arrive, the Ransoms get off, but when they look back, the ship and everyone else on board is gone. They check with the harbormaster, who tells them the Lady Anne was decommissioned years ago.

In the original short story, the Ransoms see what happened to the Lady Anne. While they sail out on the life boat, they see the ship catch on fire and sink. Much better ending.

[@r.t.643]

Alternate Ending: We see the couple decades later, elderly, and they mysteriously learn of the Lady Anne having one last voyage (again). Understanding what it means, they go on for one last voyage, while seeing a lot of familiar faces on board. In the next room, a young bickering couple, trying to work on their marriage. Another voyage of honoring/finding love. . . In the Twilight Zone.

[@Scotfre]

I always felt like it was a suicide club type situation and they sailed the ship off course and deliberately sank it. Mass suicide wasn't really a palatable ending for 60's tv so the obscure ending......

[@alwaysplotting2096]

The Ransomes inherited the true legacy of the Lady Anne. Their story was its swan song. A song which echoed from the fifth dimension all the way back to the third. Bittersweet music not found on a KZbin playlist, but a golden oldie of the Twilight Zone.

[@geoffreyfyfe2248]

This is an unusual one for Charles Beaumont as it's more sentimental than you'd expect from him. According to his son Chris, the episode and the short story it was based on were inspired by a cruise vacation the Beaumont family took a few years earlier that had a lot of elderly couples on it.

[@jenniferschillig3768]

Yeah, and in the original short story (which was told in the husband's first person POV), our main characters were a honeymooning couple, not a troubled one. But the change works well here, though the original was good.

[@JoseJoseC626]

I think the travel agent knew about the doomed voyage and knew the passengers would have reacted the way they did to them. He knew the ship would save their marriage and the passengers wouldn't let them die.

[@jrrr9219]

Agreed.

[@Sovreign071]

Maybe the ending was rushed, but I think the tone, atmosphere, and acting really make this episode great!

A final scene in a Maritime Museum Husband & wife walk through the museum hand in hand as the come to an exhibit. A banner reads, The Mysterious Disappearance of The Lady Anne. They see a model of the ship, They read from highlighted excerpt below the model, "The ship had been booked almost exclusively by elderly passagers that had sailed on the grand lady previously. She was crewed by the only most senior members and retired personnel. One oddity was the presence of a single couple that were seemingly on board for the first. The Lady Anne Sailed into parts unknown likely with all hands lost. Eileen: How? Why? Alan: Who can say? Perhaps, if they all wanted to enough... How many people get to decide how their story ends? Eileen: I suppose the same number that are granted a second chance. [They kiss] The reunited couple reminisce about the kind souls that spent their final hours instilling them with love & wisdom as they exit the museum and enter... The Twilight Zone.

[@shenloken2]

I like the premise of a spectacular ghost ship ferrying its passengers to the afterlife. (Almost as if Charon was at the helm.) The idea of a young couple getting mixed up in all this and some of the elderly passengers trying to warn them also makes it interesting. Of course the ending makes it seem ambiguous what really happened to the Lady Anne; but I just stick with “it was a ghost ship” idea. It’s fitting since all the elderly are enjoying their last moments on earth before passing on into the next life.

That's why the widower said he will be with his wife soon. The salesman knew that, hence why he was so hesitant to sell them entrance and why the passengers wanted to give them money for them to get off. At the end, when they had rekindled their love, they forced them to get off, not out of hatred but love, they wanted them to live. That's why the ship never made it to port.

[@NostalgiaCatholic]

This episode has long been one of my personal favorites. The kindness and festiveness and charm and long sentimental memories of all the old folks, many truly great actors given yet one more chance to shine with their distinctive talents. They absolutely glow as they help the young couple to rediscover their romance and re-cement their marriage. Yet hovering over it all is that atmosphere of something going to happen to which the old timers are all privy and quite ready to accept, whatever it is, but unwilling to impose upon the young couple as it could just about kill them. This foreboding atmosphere pervades even among the joy and cheer, and couple with the production as described here, projects a truly magical feeling. Even the abrupt ending is not really a problem but actually an asset, as it leaves it to the imagination as to what happens next to the old timers after the young couple are put off. Do they all sink the ship, going down with it? Do they just perpetually sail along with it like some floating (but not quite "flying") dutchman? Do they go off into some other dimension, like what happens in "The Arrival" or disappear like what happens in "And When The Sky Was Opened"? Are they and perhaps even their ship already ghosts, though nevertheless given enough substance to support the young couple until their debarkation? Is it something completely else which we have not and probably cannot imagine? One can only wonder. For me, even the abrupt ending, without any explanation of what is to happen, truly works for me, as any explanation would certainly cheapen the whole experience. How many things happen in the Twilight Zone for no apparent or discoverable reason? Can this not simply be yet one more, one where even the lack of explanation actually adds to the mystery and atmosphere of the episode?

[@LordGreystoke]

Well, let's put it this way. A college friend of mine was putting together his final paper for a poli/sci class and couldn't figure out how to conclude what he was trying to say. So, the only concluding phrasing he came up with was: "...only the shadow knows." Sufficit to say, the professor was not amused and gave him a D. So, for Rod Serling, he could get away with something happening "for no apparent or discoverable reason." But for those of us in real life, we are left only with...reality, which sometimes is not as mysterious as...the shadow

[@LordLOC]

This is actually one of my favorite season 4 episodes. While I can agree the ending is sort of rushed, I think it fits the story proper. While it might have been nice to have a more extended ending maybe touching on things a bit more - the fact they leave it ambiguous is better for me. Like most of the better TZ episodes after all :)

[@elliepira8400]

Definitely a rushed ending but the idea of the old ship, crew and passengers helping rekindle one last young relationship and sending them on their way after parting with so much loving advice, to know they will live a long and happy life together before sailing to a mysterious end rather than be dismantled and sold for scrap is fittingly beautiful and haunting. Whilst it can be theorised what happened to the ship I prefer to not think they intentionally sunk with it. Though it would be the most grounded; this is the Twilight Zone so I choose to believe the ship did have supernatural power, positive powers that brought people together in love and joy so I can't see them having a suicidal drowning. I think the ship carried them all to whatever afterlife was awaiting them together. Much like ancient stories of ships carrying the dead to the afterlife, they simply vanished into the fog and into eternity, carried to their final destination by their mystical and caring ship one last time.

[@milestrombley1466]

The ship reminds me of the ferry boat in the Underworld that transports the souls to the Afterlife.

Another one with a radio drama adaptation I heard before watching the episode (thanks Netflix lol) but one of my favorites. The relationship bickering and reconciliation worked pretty well, fitting for the time anyway, and it had a sweet ending. Though the radio drama also used Serling's stand-in (Stacy Keach) to wrap up the plot. Also just realized that Joker's most famous name up until the mid 2010s came from 1960s Alfred LOL.

4:48 I agree with Burges.

So many gifted actors graced The Twilight Zone with their presence. I have a soft spot for Gladys Cooper's episodes because, as a classic movie fan, I know her best as the nasty, cold-hearted Mrs. Vale in 1942's "Now, Voyager," and it's a delight to see her in her more sympathetic TZ roles. When I singled out Patricia Breslin in Nick of Time as the only active heroic wife figure, I shamefully forgot about Joyce Van Patten's Eileen, a kind of mirror-image opposite to A Stop at Willoughby's vicious Jane Williams. This time it's the wife who wants her husband to slow down and enjoy life, and she stands her ground in order to make that happen. She has real spirit. I love the bit when her husband asks her why she wants to stand on the deck and wave as the ship disembarks, and she answers, "Because that's what people do! Haven't you seen any movies?" As to the ending, it could have been a simple fix: simply film the ship disappearing before their eyes, in such a way that it couldn't be explained with "fog." But instead of horror, the couple feels a sense of peace. They know by instinct that they've watched these couples enter Paradise together, hand in hand. That's their future.

There are some moments of promise here, but this one really drags its feet a lot. We get a struggling couple and a ship full of old people on a mysterious ship but neither idea gets fleshed out. It’s a lot of them just doing nothing, there’s nice bits with the other passengers but not enough really focusing on the couple even though that’s clearly meant to be focus more than the mystery. What we get is fine but not super strong. The ending is rather nice, and I suppose the ambiguity it has is fine but there’s so much deadspace that could have been filled by fleshing this all out more. It’s close to having the right idea but waffles around not really doing much with it. Even with the extra time adding more filler, they still could have done so much more here so...eh.

[@YuniorGamboa]

A ghost ship story with a happy ending its rare😅

[@Crow_Smith]

This one might be a good one to be redone if it wasn't in the 80s version. Give it an ending where they return home and are stronger than ever and while things are going good maybe his wife asks randomly "Whatever happened to the Lady Anne?" and then it cuts to them exhausted with research that basically says no one knows, it never made port, it was never recovered or was anything found of what happened. And maybe have a few spots of unspoken "Missing Person" clippings around them with obvious, familiar faces. Then they can just exchange a look and hold each other? Idk if that's a BETTER ending, of course ...

I love this episode. It really did touch me emotionally, or "sail through my heart." I think the ending itself was fine. The abruptness works, as that's how it was supposed to feel for the young couple. I think the problem lies in the middle. Before the Ransomes are told to leave, it seems to be implied that many days have gone by since Alan had his change of heart. If there were more in between scenes showing the couple finally enjoying their vacation, perhaps the ending wouldn't have felt so abrupt. Still, it's an amazing episode, definitely high on my tier list.

The climactic fight scene between "Steel" and "Maynard Flash" was actually a bit scary, because you knew Maynard was played by a human but he still looked and moved a little robotic, and because the idea of a robot beating a human being to a pulp also is a little disturbing, something like "Frankenstein." The episode's premise of boxing having been outlawed as too barbaric is also interesting, as well as the idea that boxing robots took the place of humans.

Alright, so, the description of the plot starts at 0:33 and by 1:20, I was able to correctly guess the twist of the episode. I just can't give too much credit to the quality of the writing when it's that easy to figure out the exact course the entire episode is going to take. Much like the episode "Five Characters in Search of an Exit," which took only a handful of seconds, I just find myself waiting for the story to get around to what I know is obviously going to happen. When everything leads up to the exact twist I was expecting with absolutely no deviation or surprises, it's a letdown. I just can't praise the writing on an episode when the twist is literally the single most obvious outcome.

[@Pb-ij4ip]

There’s a story by William Townend called Sold Foreign (a short story in a compilation called The Ship In the Swamp) in which a group of British sailors agree to deliver the ship on which they served in WWI to the place where it will be taken by a German company. The sailors are joined by a young naval officer just before leaving and the young man, despite being a good sort, seems to be singularly disliked by the crew. Turns out the old crew plans to sink the ship rather than see it sold to the Germans. They end up taking the young man into their confidence in the end and they all end up in a lifeboat together, claiming the ship hit a mine leftover from the war. I suspect something like that is happening here, except the old folks plan to go down with the ship, which they would rather do than see it scrapped.
