This seems like a cop-out to get to bed early.
The week started out with a Twilight Zone episode about an abused wife. Despite, or maybe because of, two great performances, the episode was just too unpleasant to further think about.
So here we are winding down the week with the same kind of episode. This one feels even worse since the victim is not only a woman, but 71 years old.
It’s just not something I want to dwell on.

Other Stuff:
- The elderly couple was named Matheson. Were they named after the writer Richard Matheson? No genre series could possibly use that name without knowing the connection would be made. Was this supposed to be a tribute?
This one starred Barbara Rush, an alumnus of my old schools: Skinner Junior High and North High School, Yay team!!
Thanks for stopping by and your frequent comments. Tomorrow’s entry will be cheerier!
Abusive men/boyfriends/husbands…….what a sexist cliché! Do these writers know that abuse is not a gender issue? Wives abuse husbands, too. What about women in abusive lesbian relationships? Doesn’t promulgate the narrative?
And I’m not even going to get into the predictability of the plot……
