Predictive programming
AmigaWolf24 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Talking about Predictive programming, in this episode Johnny Smith sees a vision of children getting sick, and everyone in town and he sees in his vision everyone die, and do you know what this virus is called?

It was called the CORONA virus, and that is not the big shock for me when i saw it a months back with my sister, do you know what the cure was?

It was the malaria drugs, just like what Trump said, and just like what millions of people now use in Brazil. I and my sister was shocked, when we saw this episode.

It's Fiction!

Warning: Spoilers
The irresponsible political rant by LHAVEN (which is being passed off as a review) uses this fairly prescient episode as an attack against the Biden Administration and an affirmation of Trump's criminal mishandling of the coronavirus. LHAVEN treats this episode as reality; that because chloroquinine is the miracle cure in Plague that it would also have been the miracle cure for Covid-19. There is not a shred of evidence that the quack remedies trumpeted by Trump would have had any positive effect on Covid-19. It is amazing that LHAVEN's review was even approved for publication. Fiction and its attendant exaggerations and distortions should never be mistaken for reality.

Maybe Johnny is Psychic
Mathieas9 September 2020
You cannot watch this episode in 2020 and not wonder if the show is as psychic as Johnny. In and of itself the episode is good, but when viewed through the lens of 2020 it takes on an extra sense of awe.

Anthony Michael Hall never got enough credit as an actor and he does an amazing job in this episode going from conveying a sense of urgency through to a sense of desperation.

Very well done prediction of the future, Literally!

Warning: Spoilers
I'm watching Episode 14, in Season 2 - the town is infected with a virus with origins in China. They find a miraculous drug that was a cure - it was Chloroquine! This was from 2003!

What a shame the evil power grabbers of 2020 wouldn't admit that Hydroxychloroquine and other drugs were very effective against the COVID-19 Virus instead of blacklisting them to serve their own purposes. They have ruined our economy and are on their way to destroying our Country. It was also very appropriate for Patient Zero to be a drug smuggler who brought the disease from China with the horrible drugs that over 70,000 of our people a year are overdosing on! Two horrible weapons being used against us!
