Did I miss something entirely, or was this the worst half hour
of "SF" ever to appear on TV (I sorted liked the previous episodes,
so I'm not attacking the series, just this episode). I believe that
if "Alamo Jobe" had been submitted to ANY SF magazine under a different
author's name (and hopefully even under the Spielberg name) it would
have been rejected out of hand. What plot! What character development
(notice how Jobe learned important lessons about life as he enriched
the lives of those he encountered!). And suspence!! How did he get
to the future? What was in the message? Did he make it back?

One can only hope that this episode is not indicative of the
episodes to come....
