But as they pull off the road to talk to the police, the wipers are not running and it is not raining.
Featured review
Buz and Tod Meet The Twilight Zone
That first part's a grabber. It's a psychic's stage show inside a ritzy nightclub, but where's the psychic. Instead, there's only an empty chair. The demonic-looking dog's an exotic addition and well-trained too. So, can psychic Brycie (Smith) actually foretell the future. Let's hope not, because she foresees Tod killing Buz amidst a hellish fire. And from the entry's opening, it looks like the unthinkable is coming true, as Tod tells the lead-up story in flashback. So, is Brycie actually psychic and will Tod actually break up the buddies, violently.
The entry's a departure from the series naturalistic norm. The lighting here is darkly noirish, while the subject matter departs from the normal by focusing on the paranormal. It's more like Tod and Buz meet the Twilight Zone. I like the way the guys' work inside the infernal looking machines blends in with the overall theme. Visually, this may be one of the most striking of the series.
Much depends on Smith's acting abilities, and while she's sometimes excessive, it fits in with the general mood. (And see if you agree that there's a facial resemblance to Natalie Wood.) Looks like Bikel's role as Brycie's dad was added so as to deepen the philosophic premise-, which is that the future is already decided such that it can be foretold. That's basically Brycie's psychic presumption. Dad, however, remains a skeptic--- the future can only be decided by contingent human actions, so it cannot be foretold. Thus, he and daughter carry on a running debate that allows writer Silliphant to indulge his penchant for high-brow tropes.
Anyway, the entry may be a matter of taste for many viewers, departing from the series norm as it does. There were parts I liked and some I didn't (like the concocted ending). Nonetheless, the visuals remain compelling, even when the narrative wobbles.
