Talk:Time Enough at Last
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It seems strange that in Googling this episode, I can't find a single person who notices the complete illogicality of the plot. Burgess Meredith spends the entire episode walking around in reading glasses. Nobody walks around in reading glasses. And if he was short-sighted, he wouldn't need glasses to read.
- Not to mention that if the public library survived the bomb, there are bound to be intact glasses somewhere. --Imperialles 17:54, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 216.244.12.76 I need to talk to you
Hi, I am an administrator, Xinyu, and I got a report from ProfesorPaul, about how you've been, "vandalizing" EVERY SINGLE EPISODE OF The Twilight Zone. Discuss your intentions, what you have editted, fixed up, and under what pretext you have for doing so. I need you to tell me all the information you can get, and I promise both you and ProfessorPaul, this problem would be negotiable, once the facts has been laid bare, and then I'll see that NPOV, justice, and peace would be restored on this article. Thank you, please reply on my user TALK page. Thank you. --Lord X 01:36, 20 June 2006 (UTC)User:Xinyu
[edit] Correction
- The tower of terror ride is in California Adventure, not Disney Land. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.181.228.169 (talk • contribs).
[edit] To-do list
This is more for my own benefit than anything, as I doubt many people watch this page closely. I want to give this episode a high-quality page that can serve as a type of template for the expansion of other TTW eps. Things to add include:
- Comparison with the original story (link provided in ref section, costs money though)
- Bit more on the "moment of terror" note that was in the Themes section, or remove it
- Incorporate the review quote into the prose, possibly shorten it with elipses
- Expand "compare with" (under Themes) to prose or a list with brief descriptions
- A picture or two more - need to look into current policies though, as image upload page says "one per article" of screenshots
- The template should (IMO) incorporate the credits into the sidebar. Some combination of Trapped in the Closet (South Park episode) and Emissary (DS9 episode) that doesn't look too busy, as I do think we lose something in an anthology series by eliminating the list of eps... then again, it is pretty darn long. This change will probably need to be discussed elsewhere and pass the usual bureaucracy given its considerable impact.
In case anyone does watch this page, feel free to help out. Moulder 01:24, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- I don't watch the page but stumbled upon it, great work. Not sure a Google Video result is the best thing to cite even if that's the only way to incorporate the info. Rompe
[edit] Iconic
This episode is an icon for this tv series, science fiction and popular culture. The page should be cleaned up a little because of this minor importance JayKeaton 14:41, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Confusing paragraph
I've read this several times and still can't quite make sense of what's being said. I moved it to "invisible text" in the "Production info" section. Hopefully the author can fix it.
- As with a number of other Twilight Zone episodes, "Time" made use of MGM studio resources. Of particular note to the viewer, the exterior, long library steps were filmed some months after the rest of the episode and used as the steps up into an Eloi public building in MGM's 1960 adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel The Time Machine.

- That is weird, I get it but don't enough to rewrite it. It is saying that this episode, Time Enough at Last (confusingly shortened), used MGM studios, similar to other episodes of Twilight Zone. The library steps that are shown in the episode, that sequence was not filmed until march after the rest of the episode. The steps were also seen in The Time Machine movie (maybe interesting because they are both things named 'time'), as the steps for a building. -EgyptianSushi 06:00, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

- I've re-written the paragraph now so it should be clearer:
- Footage of the exterior steps of the library was filmed several months after the rest of the episode. These steps can also be seen on the exterior of an Eloi public building in MGM's 1960 The Time Machine. Magiclite 02:09, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
