Zoned Out: The Twilight Zone- 'Blurryman' (2019)

At last, the final Episode...of this Season.  We're already getting Season 2, so yea.

In the meantime, enjoy this send-off...
A Writer- Seth Rogen- finally finishes his Story, only to find out about the dangerous truth outside...
...and this is a fake-out.  We've gone META, as things go down on the Set while shooting.

It had to happen eventually.
The Writer- Zazie Beetz- begins to see a weird, shadowy figure.  It is documented throughout different shots from different Episodes.
When she starts to look into it, she finds herself alone in the Studio and things go badly fast!
Can she deal with the shadow?  What secret will it reveal to her/about her?

To find out, stream the Show.  It will keep you warm until Picard.
A weird, but respectful Episode.  I can't exactly go into the latter part without SPOILERS- so I won't.  Outside of that, the Episode plays with the conventions in a fun way.  You see Actors playing themselves, which they always like.  At this point, Seth Rogen has played himself nearly half as much as he's played someone else (don't check my Math)!  Peele has a fun time going from The Narrator to a version of himself, which was neat to see.  The actual Story of the Episode kind of telegraphs where it is going early on, but it's fun to get to the Ending.  It is neat how they tie it all to previous Episodes, even going so far as to reuse the Sets for locations.  I do wonder why they are all still there, but I always overthink things.  The Episode pays tribute in a different way to the original Series and plays with its own conventions.  Now I just have to wait until the Show returns...
Next time, there's...oh right, nothing.  Time to take a break for a while to talk about 23 other Shows.
