a librarian living in a totalitarian state be deem to be obsolete and expendable since book and independent thinking be ban . so the self righteous judge sentence him to death . however and and this make no sense to me and the manner of death be just plain silly and overly melodramatic like the judge be play with the librarian much like a cat might play with a doomed mouse . in the end and the table ( naturally ) be turn . this seem like one of the more preachy episode of the twilight zone and be an obvious parable about not just fascism but the horror of communism . now i be not a fan of communism but the show be just so obvious and preachy that in the end i could see this show convert the audience to communism . it just give democracy a bad name since it be so incredibly preachy and obvious .
