Quite Sad
15 December 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Many years ago a comedian told of a place where people reached a certain age and then began to get younger and move back toward birth. It was extremely sad when two twenty-year-olds met and fell in love, only to find they were moving in different directions. Here we have the astronaut who forsakes his ability to stay in suspended animation so he can meet the one he loves when he returns. This is a story of ultimate sacrifice and true love. The sad denouement is gut wrenching. Kudos to the creator of this story. It pulls at the heartstrings. The acting and pacing are very good and it has both elements of the Twilight Zone and a broader, more poetic drama.
