• Warning: Spoilers
    I had forgotten about the 'Nick of Time' episode from the original Rod Serling hosted 'Twilight Zone', as another reviewer brought it up by way of comparison. This one follows along similar lines, but without the benefit of a couple of (future) celebrities like William Shatner and Patricia Breslin. Mesmerized as he was by a penny fortune telling machine, Shatner's character became almost as obsessed about learning his future as Ali Warner (Linda Cardellin) was in this one. The difference being that his wife talked him back to reality and they left the diner for Don Carter (Shatner) to pursue his career using his own talent and initiative. Ali on the other hand, became so dependent on Kneigh's (Method Man) vague but prescient utterings that she held herself hostage to his pronouncements, and wound up unable to make a move without him. The irony of the episode winds up almost comical however, when the seer Kneigh couldn't foretell his own future and avoid a speeding car at a most inappropriate moment.

    So, should you see the episode? - It has been decided in your favor.
