Featured review
Hobson's Choice
If you're not familiar with the premise of this show, Former stock broker Gary Hobson (Kyle Chandler) starts receiving the Chicago Sun-Times, delivered by an orange cat every morning. However, it is TOMORROW'S edition, hence the moniker of Early Edition for the series. This particular episode was easily the most memorable story in the entire series. I was stunned by the plot device employed to resolve the situation. It's likely that I'll never forget it. I will not give away any details; suffice it to say that if you enjoy irony and plot twists, you'll love this as much as I. When Gary receives tomorrow's paper today during this second episode of the CBS series, he's faced with the choice of saving a little girl from dying of injuries resulting from a hit-and-run accident or try to prevent a plane crash which will end the lives of nearly 200 people. These two tragedies occur in the same afternoon, and Gary cannot be in both places at the same time. A true 'Hobson's Choice'.
Highly recommended that you rent or buy this as it's now been released on DVD.
