There’s an episode of some sci-fi anthology show[0] where this woman is struggling with the chaos in her life, loses it in a supermarket and starts yelling, “Shut up!” She quickly learns she can pause time by doing so and start it again by saying, “Start talking.” She used it in predictable ways. The episode ends with an impending nuclear attack and she screams, “Shut up!” at the news cast and the sirens and her crying family. The world stops, she steps outside, and looks up at an ICBM frozen above the city. I saw this when I was somewhere around the age of 10. I didn’t see The Day After or any of the real serious nuclear stuff. But there’s a piece of my mind that still exists in that episode of that show. Stuff hits you weird when you’re a kid in ways I don’t think most adults remember. And I only say weird because hard isn’t the right word and I don’t think how it hits is always predictable. [0]I thought it was the second version of The Twilight Zone which aired about the right time, but I can’t find such an episode.
