History YMMV / TheTwilightZone2002

*** Was Tyler's breakdown towards the end solely from his rejection and greed, or did electrocuting himself with the microwave fry his mind and cause him to be unable to think rationally.
*** Was Shannon honest to Tyler about not dating employees, or was she never interested in him in the first place and felt so guilty about nearly getting Tyler killed she couldn't bring herself to tell him the truth and hurt him even more. The fact she was so quick to start making out with Buddy suggests the latter.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: In "Into The Light", Rachel Stark, slowly discovers that one of her students is about to commit a school shooting and when she sees him on the roof, he tries to talk her into letting him kill the students since she hates them. She is unswayed and she tackles him off the school before anyone can get shot killing both the student [[HeroicSacrifice and herself in the process.]] Even better is that right before she died, the light on her students' faces disappeared, so she died knowing she had saved them.

* MoralEventHorizon: In "Evergreen", Jenna's entire family catapults over it when they [[spoiler:knowingly let their daughter be turned into fertilizer because she tried to flee the community.]]

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic:
** Buddy towards the end of "The Lineman". After Tyler caught Buddy kissing his ex-girlfriend, he never apologizes for it and his claim that it was just a friendly act sounds more like a lie he was trying to cover up as he was angry at Tyler for thinking it meant anything. And while Tyler attacking Buddy was not okay, the fact he permanently ended his friendship with Tyler comes off as rather callous since they were lifelong friends so he would know by that point Tyler had clearly lost his sanity and needed major help. Especially considering the things that caused Tyler to start going crazy were directly related to something Buddy had done.

* RealLifeRelative: In the sequel episode to the [[Series/TheTwilightZone1959 classic series]] episode, "Literature/ItsAGoodLife", an adult Anthony gains a real life daughter and is played by Bill Mumy's real life daughter, Liliana, who is also known for her role as [[AlphaBitch Mertle Edmonds]] [[TheOtherDarrin in the sequel works]] of ''Disney/LiloAndStitch''.
* RecycledScript:
** Eye Of The Beholder is the biggest offender as even the script is the exact same as the original
** The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street of, you guessed it
** The Lineman is very similar to The Prime Mover
** Into The Light for The Purple Testament
** Dream Lover to A World of Difference
** The Path to What You Need
** Rewind to A Most Unusual Camera

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: How sympathetic you may find the main character of "The Pool Boy" after TheReveal depends entirely on how you interpret various ambiguities. [[spoiler:He is placed into a virtual prison after being convicted of murdering the owner of a house he was working for after some sort of encounter with his wife. It's never made clear if the murder was his own idea or if the wife was in on it and framed him for it; he remembers the wife coming on to him pretty agressively, but this may just be how he perceived it.]]

* RealLifeRelative: In the sequel episode to the [[Series/TheTwilightZone1959 classic series]] episode, Literature/ItsAGoodLife, an adult Anthony gains a real life daughter and is played by Bill Mumy's real life daughter, Liliana, who is also known for her role as Mertle Edmonds [[TheOtherDarrin in the sequel works]] of ''Disney/LiloAndStitch''.

* FridgeHorror: Let's talk about "The Collection." [[spoiler: A girl turns her babysitters into dolls, because they always leave at the end of the night. Her father complains to the agency that this is the ''third time'' that this has happened. They think the sitters merely bail on her. So, what's going to happen when someone ''does'' connect the dots, when they realize that a dozen girls have disappeared completely since babysitting at this one house? How many more dolls will the girl make when her parents and the police come for her?]]

* MoralEventHorizon: In "Evergreen" Jenna's entire family catapults over it when they [[spoiler:knowingly let their daughter be turned into fertilizer because she tried to flee the community.]]

** Matt McGrady in "Shades Of Guilt". He's supposed to be depicted as a racist for leaving an African American college professor to die at the hands of 3 white supremacists. However, when a person is banging on your window in a dark alley begging to get in your car, it's considered ill-advised to let them in, no matter what race they are. The episode really just makes it look more like a man who was fleeing from someone who he was understandably afraid was a carjacker and learned too late he was wrong. He also felt incredibly guilty about it after he realized his mistake. The ending doesn't help much, as when he was saved by [[MindScrew himself]], you can see the skinheads nearly get into his car. So while it was a noble act to save him, he almost dies in the process.

* RealLifeRelative: In the sequel episode to the [[classic series]] episode, Literature/ItsAGoodLife, an adult Anthony gains a real life daughter and is played by Bill Mumy's real life daughter, Lilian.

** While it was wrong to make the choice based on just the colour, the act itself was still justified. Thankfully the end [[spoiler: doesn't punish him, but gives him the chance, now knowing who the guy was to make the best choice.]]

* UnintentionallySympathetic: In the segment "The Pool Boy", a guy is murdered over and over again by a man he doesn't know. It's eventually revealed that he's [[spoiler:trapped in a LotusEaterMachine]] as punishment for murdering the husband of one of his clients. It is stated to be a fitting retribution for him, but the episode's SympatheticPOV (he doesn't actually remember committing the crime, the circumstances of which are somewhat ambiguous as well) and [[AndIMustScream unending torture he goes through]] just makes it come off as DisproportionateRetribution instead.
