Review of Time Enough at Last

Each time I watch this episode it just blows me away, it leaves a lasting impression on you. "Time Enough at Last" stars legendary character actor Burgess Meredith as a meek and depressed bank teller named Henry Bemis who just hates his job and everything in life. You name it he catches flack and stress from everyone mostly his boss, but yet all the problems come from his wanting to read books at the bank! This distraction causes poor work performance, and a chewing out is giving from the boss, the problems aren't any better at home as Henry has a wife who will not let him read, so therefore he has carried his books to work. Just when it seems so much hope is lost, as it's so common in many "Twilight Zone" episodes the unexpected happens by entering another dimension, so one day while Bemis is on lunch break sitting on steps, he notices his stopwatch or clock halts as an H-bomb goes off it's like a nuclear war explosion! When he finds his new world, he's at first lonely in rubble only to soon discover among the ashes and debris it's piles of books, it's book heaven! Just as he enjoys his long awaited dream of unlimited time to read with no interruption, at last the unexpected happens! Just like many times when you read a new novel it may be a page turner, with a surprise on the next page, well this episode takes an unexpected page turn as it turns out to be a cruel novel for Mr. Bemis. I don't want to be a spoiler in my comment for those who haven't seen this, believe me the ending is shocking and very memorable that will always last with you, just like for Henry the time will last forever. The moral from this tale is when you get time always be prepared for the unexpected, it's always good to have extra things and be very careful when you enjoy things. As my summary hints at that! "Time Enough at Last" is an episode that stays with you forever due to it's surprise and painful end and as always great acting from legend Burgress Meredith.
