Bazooka Joe villain

I was a little surprised that you didn't mention the Twilight Zone adaptation of "The Hitch-Hiker", which even used some of Bernard Herrmann's music (re-recorded).

Not to mention that at one point the protagonist is told that this is in fact what is happening and unless he snaps out of it he's going to die. The protagonist chooses not to snap out of it (due to a clue that he invents for himself to keep his fantasy going?)

The One Ring?

(and a lot of the music on the original series was pretty contemporary - and, consequently, fairly dated.)

Ironically, the use of limpid made the review unclear. :-)

RIght, but that makes the purpose of his wake ups even less clear. Did he have the authority to wake them up sooner or later based on local conditions? If not, why go outside at all?

It's the kind of name a scruffy looking nerf herder would have.

Yes, it seems like they settled there in the last 20 years for that reason.

The episode where Pam dies more or less says he was the chosen leader raised by the Pilchers. That's a bit of a retcon, but it fits his sense of entitlement that was always there.

The implication in this episode, I think, was that he was mad at the Abbies for still existing, when his theory said they would arise and then die out.

Clearly, he majored in "Mad Science" at University.

Dude, if I'm not buying it, I'm not buying it. Just repeating the same thing again, which I already knew anyway, isn't gonna convince me. People in disaster zones experience tremendous sudden loss, and do not throw their lives away in a mass orgy of violence and suicide when they are rescued. So I find it problematic;…

It's the black and white aspect of it, Pilcher's team dedicated and loyal, Group A complete breakdown that I found unrealistic.

There's variety in the tone, but IMHO they get the tone they are going for in each scene. The parts they mean to be funny are funny, the parts meant to be funny are funny, and the parts meant to be camp, like the exploding heads, pull that off too.

For some reason, all the construction workers and security monitors were fine with knowing the real story, but Group A went insane.

To bookend his career a bit, Campbell was not particularly good in "The Outrageous Okona" episode of TNG or in Helix, but probably not the worst thing about either.

They could feature Rust Cohle, retired from the force, working as a high school math teacher. He's drawn back into True Detecting by the surprisingly shocking mystery of who's been stealing from the Teacher's Lounge Coffee Pool.
