Twilight Zone 4x16 "On Thursday We Leave for Home" Reaction

[@KennethBatchelor]

"Its 2021...you won't understand...there's memes and everything!" Thanks for my LOL of the day! :) This is my favorite 4th season episode.

[@ahatfulofreactions1414]

Hehe. I agree about the quality of the episode. It's probably my favorite of this season 2. It really used the longer episode length to its advantage. (Some of the others this season can feel a bit padded from time to time)

@@ahatfulofreactions1414 Yes, the hour-long format really didn't fit TZ well. I think there are some good stories in the 4th season (30 Fathom Grave, Jess-Belle, Death Ship) but most are padded as you mentioned and some are downright painfully bad (The Bard). On Thursday We Leave For Home and Passage on the Lady Anne (my second favorite) are my only regular rewatches from this season.

Most of these were eerie as heck and a lot of them downright scary when I first saw them as a kid in the 1960s. The Shatner "Thing On The Wing" really did hit me and after watching it and going upstairs to bed I DID NOT whip open the curtains on the window. No way. But this one was more uncomfortable than anything else.

This is the darkest tale I have ever seen. To just leave him there alone. Not that they had any choice, their escape window was closing fast. Let this be a lesson too all you starship Captains, when a person has kept people alive for that long through shear strength of will, you humor him until you get to Earth. Let him still be "in charge" until you can safely get him home.

[@ahatfulofreactions1414]

Yeah, they definitely could have handled that better. A bit of humoring goes a long way. 😊 I love this episode, but it's hard to rewatch the ending.

This is the only hour episode I remember from way back in the 60’s. It must of really struck me. James whitmore(he was on Shawshank redemption) was always good to watch

"Do you like movies about gladiators?" 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for the laugh. I adore a good "Airplane!" quote.

[@richelliott9320]

Tim O’Connor one of my favorite character actors also.

Wow like Brooks his prison became his home!

[@cutthr0atjake]

Great reaction. Glad you recognised where the Colonel was from, it was bugging me as to who he was! ...by the way, when are you going to start reacting to Legends again?

[@ahatfulofreactions1414]

Great question. I'm still watching them. I don't know if I'm just going to pop in tomorrow with this week's one or edit the others eventually. I can open up the full-lengths if worst comes to the worst.

James Whitmore, he played Brooks the librarian in shawshank redemption xx Oh, just saw you realised that lol

[@ahatfulofreactions1414]

Hehe, I googled at the end because his face was so familiar. 😁
