TIME AND TERESA GOLOWITZ, as a story, I found hard to sit through. It's a twee, reflective, and rather sentimental piece about a guy who's given a chance to go back and live part of his life over again, but when the subject matter is purely romantic it doesn't give me a lot of inspiration. The best thing about this is a nice role for old-timer Gene Barry, and there's a minor part for a pre-stardom Gina Gershon too.
VOICES IN THE EARTH is an intriguing and moving story, a tale which is much better than you'd expect given the usual calibre of this series. It tells the unexpectedly affecting story of a group of scientists who travel back to a long-abandoned Earth to communicate with the remnants of human society there.
What transpires is a surprise to all, not least the viewer, and there's a nice moral dilemma that keeps the narrative moving forward at all times. This episode also features a fantastic cast: Hollywood great Martin Balsam leads the way, supported by Jenny Agutter and future STAR TREK actor Tim Russ. VOICES IN THE EARTH is no great shakes but it's still pretty good and more watchable than most.
