A woman living in a future utopian society finds little satisfaction in having her heart's desire just for the asking. She begins to act out and falls under state scrutiny for fear that her disease of unhappiness will spread and put all civilization at risk. I will be adding this to our grade 8 Utopia unit in which we read Lois Lowry's "The Giver", and watch "Logan's Run" and "Fahrenheit 451" to compare views of, and reactions to utopian societies.

I am surprised there is not more feedback on this episode. Lego is correct it has much to say even more today as we socialism on the rise in our culture at it promises happiness for all. This was written in the '70's but is even more applicable and potent today. The unmasking of sexual freedom as a lie and the allusion to the pain mothers experience long after the abortion speaks powerfully to us as well. Rare in a program to speak philosophically but not be to preachy or corny. This one really walked that line and nailed it. I give it 8 out of 10. Joe Nic
