Talk:Time Enough at Last

message: 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)
replies: text: Some people, such as my dad, just can't see. He has to wear his glasses no matter what he does: reading, driving, watching TV, etc. Could it be the same case with this character? Sailorknightwing (talk) 20:48, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Reading Glasses versus Seeing Glasses

message: I don't agree with the opening statement under themes:
"Although the overriding message may seem to be "be careful what you wish for", there are other themes throughout the episode as well."  I just watched this episode, and I don't really know where in the episode he wished to accidentally break his glasses and ruin his chance to spend the rest of his life reading.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.110.14.138 (talk) 23:17, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: His wish was to be alone - and he gets his wish, but it means that there is no-one to mend his glasses when he breaks them, or make another pair, or correct his vision with laser surgery. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:46, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

message: 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)

message: 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)
thread_title: Iconic

message: The article still needs some work and hopefully there's someone out there with a book source(s) who can put some work into it that goes beyond pop culture and Google. I thought it deserved GA nomination though, especially if it can get some attention this way. Luatha 01:12, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Good Article nomination 

message: I was impressed by this article, and I am not usually impressed. Even the bits I initially thought were dross - the analysis section in particular - are sourced references to another person's writing. It avoids "death by Futurama", whereby every reference to the article's subject in every television programme evah is put into a lengthy, meaningless, bulleted list. You can find lots of them by going through the "pages that link to Futurama", e.g. The Love Boat or Mr. Belvedere, which has the canonocial "In an episode of Futurama etc". Instead, this article has a written summary of its subject's appearances in popular culture, expanded for notability where required. Kudos to whoever did that, perhaps User:Romperomperompe above. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:37, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Holy crap, I can't believe there is such a huge following on one of many Twilight Zone episodes.  If anyone from Hollywood had any sense, they'd see this and note the potential for a big-budget movie.  Not that I'd care, as they'd probably screw it up like most recent adaptations. -Rolypolyman (talk) 05:52, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  I kiss you 

message: The MicroForte game Fallout Tactics has a reference to this in one level. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic setting. You encounter a man in a library, and have the option of retrieving his glasses. Admittedly, it would be a better reference if he says 'There's time now' or something like that, but most of the references in Tactics were sorta brief like that. - NemFX (talk) 18:54, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

message: It was chosen to introduce TZ series in Italy, broadcast the April 14 1962 at 10:45 P.M.. Dubbing actors were the veteran Emilio Cigoli (Rod Serling), Carlo Romano (Bemis' boss) and then young Oreste Lionello (Burgess Meredith) -also the dubbing actress who dubs Bemis' wife was a veteran in her job, but now I don't remember her name. Not mentioning the dubbing acting, where could I mention the use of this episode as the introduction of the series in Italy?--Olbia merda (talk) 13:47, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I'm wondering how much the inclusion of the burns quote in the teleplay had to do with the casting of burgess meredith as bemis, when the actor was famous for his portrayal of george in the 1939 adaptation of steinbeck's novel, titled after the burns line.
it's clearly one of those things that would be nice to point out in the article if there was any supporting evidence that it was intentional & not just a coincidence, but without a citation (e.g. from an interview with serling or similar) it's not going in, not by my hand anyway.
