A return of a classic Show. I've got like 40 more Episodes on DVD now, so I can do this forever!
In this Episode, a pregnant woman keeps hearing the sounds of a plane flying overhead at the same time every night.
When nobody sees it, they naturally think that she's crazy.
Even for this time period, the misogyny here is...just, wow.
She continues to be worried about this seemingly-invisible plane and her husband tries to calm her down.
Her Doctor insists that she will stress herself out and possibly lose the baby.
It makes you wonder what Donnie Darko would be like if he was a pregnant woman now, doesn't it?
He investigates the plane and sees that it is not going to be flown that night. Later on, that changes.
In spite of him trying to calm her again, they go to a Motel and...the wing crashes down there!
Don't worry- they survived.
Is it fate? Is it ESP? The Show posits the idea that her pregnancy amplified all of her senses- including her 6th one. Yeah, no. 'No' to all of that. Accepting all of this as bull crap, it is still a good Episode. Is it mostly just a woman being called crazy when she hears noises that nobody else does? Yes. It is still well-acted, well-shot and has a decent enough twist. You have to know that *something* is going to happen with the plane, but it seemingly-following them was still good. You really feel for all of the people involved. Well, except for that Doctor- he's kind of an asshole. Seriously though, it's a good Episode and all that. See us out, Mr. Newland...
Next time, more old-school scares and/or drama. Will I find any future Stars in the set? See you then...
Even for this time period, the misogyny here is...just, wow.
