The Twilight Zone: The Silence (1961)

10/10
Normal!
29 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the weirdest episodes of the show and you know why? Because it's completely normal! Yeah, this is one of only a handful of episodes with no supernatural or sci-fi stuff whatsoever. It's strange how uh, strange that can be. This episode features a guy betting another guy half a million dollars that he can't spend an entire year without talking. He's still allowed to write stuff down on pieces of paper.

The best part is of course the ending. It ends up being a double twist! The guy reveals that he isn't rich and didn't even have half a million dollars in the first place. Then it's revealed the other guy cheated too! He had his vocal cords removed so he physically couldn't talk. For a normal episode, it's wonderfully written. ****
