So was this episode created to explain why all the episodes of this series are bad — blurred versions of TZ-TOS?
An interesting plot. This type of touch to reality can make things way better.
What have they done to my show?
"I'm sticking with my theory that the last episode of this season will wrap everything up as being a parody of reality or something like that. An episode of the writersroom of the Twilight Zone 2019 creating all these... stories in order to make a point and failing miserably at it, suddenly realising they themselves have created the Twilight Zone in their reality... our reality. And that we now live in the Twilight Zone due to all this propaganda instead of the "real world". -- Me, 3 episodes back and a couple before that.
I wasn't 100% there but I was close enough in my most humble opinion.
Did this "twist" make the show better? No, it made the show even worse. Not only cause it's pretty much a cop-out but also due to the fact it just wasn't done right... AGAIN. It could have been amazing if all the other episodes weren't utter crap and this last one doesn't make it any different. I'm curious if the blurry man was in all the episodes but tbh I can't be arsed to check.
ADDENDUM: Wauw, they actually used his likening and voice huh? Which they even couldn't get right. It's a bit disgusting to liken this to the genius of the original. Serling's "spirit" wasn't in every frame of this show, it didn't have his mark, he wasn't present "blurry in the background"... The only presence he had in this version of the show was in name only, the rest was just a distorted uncanny valley version of the real deal. Show's so meta it shows how arrogant the creators of this version are. For shame!
I was on the fence with this story until the last few minutes. Then it quickly fell into the HATED IT camp.
I want that 40 mins of my life back. The season has had its ups and downs, but this episode was just pure A-grade shite. No idea what it was about or what the story was supposed to be telling us.
So so so so unbelievably bad. The only good thing is that counter to the last few lines, unless the studio is crazy, this will be the end.
This was bad...it was all over the place
Zazie was great but this episode was a hell of a swing. Also the CGI version of Sterling. Ehhhhhh.
The meta of JP's comments at the start gives one hope that the next season might improve? Probably not though. But wanky.
Finally, a good episode. It only took them the entire season.
I really liked this episode.
A silly waste of time. In the end it was just about passing the torch. Which is lame. Just points out more that the new show is about strong black characters. With the white ones continuing to mostly be idiots.
Except there’s no real story and it wastes Seth Rogen. Rogen in it is just to get you to watch the worst episode of the season.
Rogen waking up in a world with no weed would have been way more entertaining.
10/10 for bravery and idea but no big marks for capturing the audience. It is still a pleasant show to watch (what will they come up with next...) but the next season needs a boost in quality.
the switcharoo...
can you say... legendaric
This was completely incoherent and pointless. I have no idea what I just watched. I'm just sorry I wasted 40 mins of my life on this episode.Terrible.

It's very different from the usual Twilight Zone episode, but I wouldn't really say it's "terrible" at all. I respect the angle they're going here and though it's very meta during a majority of the episode, it stays consistent all the way through. It's a fitting final episode for this season.
