00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Day nineteen of the Twilight Zone podcast Advent Calendar, and

2
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Emma asks what if you could step into the Twilight

3
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Zone and change the outcome of one episode, which one

4
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>would it be and what would you change? So for me, Zach,

5
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:30.719
<v Speaker 1>this one was quite easy because maybe a bit of

6
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>recency bias in the here, but it's going to be

7
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.479
<v Speaker 1>the end of the Long Morrow, probably one of the

8
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:41.039
<v Speaker 1>most tragic Twilight Zone episodes where you know, two people

9
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>find each other, but circumstances and situation mean that things

10
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:52.039
<v Speaker 1>just don't work out, you know, and they end up

11
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:57.119
<v Speaker 1>in this heartbreaking situation which there's really no coming back from.

12
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, you know, neither of those people probably deserved

13
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.680
<v Speaker 1>that fate. It's not one of those comic justice things.

14
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.239
<v Speaker 1>I guess it was just the Twilight don't given us

15
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>a lesson that sometimes things don't work out, so lesson land.

16
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.879
<v Speaker 1>So if I could change it, let's have let them

17
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>have the relationship that they should have had. What about you?

18
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think a tragedy is the name of the

19
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:26.879
<v Speaker 2>game here, because I'm going to go with time enough

20
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:31.120
<v Speaker 2>at last easy to have a happy ending. He finds

21
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:33.879
<v Speaker 2>a library and thus the reason to live right could

22
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.200
<v Speaker 2>easily been one of those happy ending episodes like that's

23
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>the twist. Look he wanted to read it. There's a

24
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.480
<v Speaker 2>library a haha. Right, but then it wouldn't be near

25
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:46.040
<v Speaker 2>as good or memorable or iconic, right. I Mean that's

26
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:47.959
<v Speaker 2>the thing about tragedies. That's why we remember them, that's

27
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 2>why they stick with us. Right.

28
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 1>The thing is it's funny as well. On one of

29
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.799
<v Speaker 1>the previous days, we were talking about turn arounds, and

30
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.359
<v Speaker 1>I remember, you know, one of the things that I

31
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:02.159
<v Speaker 1>probably thought too much about was this this Twilight Zone

32
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>comic justice that there's got to be a reason if

33
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>something bad happens to someone, there's got to be a reason.

34
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Well maybe Henry Beemas is like actually a bad guy.

35
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:15.439
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't, you know, give his wife enough attention, you know,

36
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.039
<v Speaker 1>and that's why he ends up like this. And it's like, no, no,

37
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that anymore.

38
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I just just feel sorry for him, right, Yeah,

39
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.879
<v Speaker 2>he's a piece of the rubble in the Twilight Zone, right.

40
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:31.439
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I enjoyed hearing that reevaluation. Speaking reevaluation, something

41
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:33.960
<v Speaker 2>we talked about earlier in the advent calendar of your

42
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:36.919
<v Speaker 2>Why did this happen to this person. There must be

43
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.280
<v Speaker 2>a reason. You know, you're not You're not gonna There's

44
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 2>not a through line of it, right. Sometimes life just happens,

45
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 2>and that's true to life too,
