***WARNING*** This is a clip-show. The habit of this otherwise fine reboot of the 1960s series was marred by the producer's habit of making the final episode of each season (including this, the series finale) a clip-show.
Like most of the breed, this show is a waste of time. This concept was invented by science fiction writer A. E. Van Vogt (he called them "fix-ups").. Van Vogt used the technique to string together unrelated short stories into novels. Granted, he did a better job of it than the TV hacks, but the seams STILL showed.
All this TV nonsense goes back to my own childhood and Desi Arnaz. Seems you were not allowed to say words like "pregnant," "constipated," "hell," "damn" and a host of others on TV. You couldn't show a toilet either. A pregnant woman? You'll go straight to hell!
When Lucille Ball got pregnant (sorry--"expecting" or "with child") and started to show, she was NOT allowed to appear on camera. Desi invented the clip-show to keep the show on the air. This just gets dumber when you understand that Lucy and Desi owned the studio (Desilu). Desi also cooked up the rerun, to plug some other holes. Episodes would typically start with the other characters sitting around and someone saying, "Remember the time Lucy..." and we're off to the races.
This is a lame attempt on the part of the producers and writer to plug a hole. If these people could really write, they wouldn't waste their time writing TV full time.
Clip-shows really stink!

I haven't written any reviews to speak of lately but want to put in a plug for a review written by a member who signs himself as "Sandsquish."
He's spot on with this one. The writing wasn't horrible and the story was decent. I lay any defects at the feet of the producers and the sponsors (in that order, though it used to be the other way around). Producers think viewers are idiots, mostly because THEY don't get it. Sponsors don't like anything they think will demean whatever they're trying to get you to buy. For a common example of this thinking, read about the network reaction to the first "Star Trek" pilot.
This episode, and virtually everything else in TV-land related to speculative fiction, can be classified as "sci-fi."
It is well to remember that when Forrest J Ackerman coined the term "sci-fi" back in the 1950s, he wasn't talking about anything good, and certainly not "science fiction."
Sandsquish's point about the numerous info dumps identifies the major flaw with this episode, and so many other teleplays. The only thing more annoying is the notes in scripts that read, "insert technobabble here." You might watch it once, but you're not going to watch it twice,
In summary, an OK story, poorly told.

I wish people would learn the difference between "infer" and "imply." Illiterate posts are the bane of the web. Just sayin'.
