      This is always the case in horror, it's a cautionary lesson against letting the "other" in. The vampire trope establishes that they have to be allowed in/invited, which is ofc a mistake.
      Talk to Me, which some anons wrongly assume to be a woke movie, is actually the opposite: it presents the fears and dangers associated with other people getting into your household/social circle and the problems that sometimes derive from that

        And it makes perfect sense. Imagine Europeans being allowed to exist in the way that way that Koreans or Japanese or Congolese are. No outside disturbance.

          They have a right to. And so do the Americans and any society in the world because protecting your national/social identity is a natural right. Immigration is a type of spice to be taken into small amounts and strictly as needed only

              Natural rights are foregone conclusions unless you're ready to allow the perspective of being shot, having your house looted and so on

              it all goes back to white people not spicing up their food.

              The East India Company got it right. The problem was the slave trade and idiotic multicultural delusions which are correctly derided, shunned and rejected in Asian countries

                If this conversation was taking place in the real world I would have the natural right to literally put a sock in your mouth and you’d have to just take it so this whole argument is pointless.. you can only have it from the safety of your well protected (not by you) home

    I always wondered what the meaning of this episode is, considering every other TZ episode is a metaphor for the civil rights movement whereas this one is just "what if you saw a spooky gremlin on the plane"

    All gremlins

    when this came out, air travel was unusual for most people. people dressed formally for airplane travel. everyone remembered WWII and Korea and knew someone who served in those wars, and military aviators routinely believed in gremlins and other things that could take down an airplane other than enemy fire.

    It was a straight-up horror episode about something that everyone feared in general. There was a similar episode about a woman who has a nightmare about being ushered into a death situation by a lovely hostess who claimed there was "room for one more". She is terrified of air travel, which was still common, but finds she must travel for a family emergency. She is relieved to find the flight full booked but when she is out on the tarmac with her luggage, the stewardess rushed out of the plane and tells her there was a cancellation and there was "room for one more". The woman runs away in fear and of course the plane is destroyed on takeoff by some malfunction.

    The 1950s and early '60s were a different time.
