I often have those thoughts too, when watching certain episodes of the original Twilight Zone. Mostly though, I find most all of them to be an often brilliant showcase of the best and worst of what humans are...and the in between parts.
I was watching one of the new ones jordan peele episodes and a guy was on a plane and his podcast was predicting the plane crash can you imagine? Your name is John, You get on flight 634 from miami to Australia or something and you put on your headphones and start a podcast that says. Miami Flight 634 to Australia disappeared and the passenger name john was never heard from again i would go insane
@HumanEarth I’ve seen it, but it’s not the same. The original series predated space travel, discussions about climate change and was only about 14 years away from WWII and the Holocaust. A lot of Serling’s episodes were prescient in a way later reboots couldn’t be; too much in the world had changed.
This is so weird...I was just thinking about that episode where the world just keeps getting hotter and hotter because a giant meteor is headed right for earth...the thermometer bursts, paintings melting on the wall, etc. It seems eerily possible these days.
