This is the episode when a professor alters the outcome of the JFK assassination. This might be a stupid question but how come all those things happened when JFK wasn't killed? How did his death prevent all that?
"Marge: Just come home alive ok? Homer: Don't tell me how to do my job!"
Time was messed up by the professor changing history. The world would have been ripped apart by those tornadoes (as they discussed as they left Dallas). So to compensate, time caused the assassination of Khrushev and the Berlin crisis. They needed a good reason to have history go back to normal.

It was simply a warning that some things are meant to happen and that if they don't happen then worse things will happen. Sort of like there is a set design to the universe and disrupting it causes very bad things.
shareI just noticed that the Wikipedia entry on this episode reports that it is being adapted as a feature film with a 2014 release date. I do not see any confirmation of that here on IMDB. Can anyone confirm?
I would not hold my breathe. Schulman, the producer and director(and writer of that episode) has been exposed as a huge fraud and self-promoter. It was probably he himself who wrote that Wikipedia entry. He has now been banned from Wikipedia after he tried to manipulate entries to make himself and his work look better(he started and wrote most of the entries about himself as well).

He's been known for making fake press releases to stir up interest for his work even though there are no evidence that he got the money or actors signed up that he claims he has.
You can read more about his dubious promotion tactics on his board here on IMDB or boards related to him like his movies Lady Magdalene's(the only movie he made which never even got distribution or made any money) and Alongside Night(will probably never be made after his previous flop).
He used to post on IMDB as well under the name jneil, but left and deleted most of his posts after being exposed for stuff like writing fake reviews on Amazon for his work, using fake blurbs(even quote mined rejection letters to make it look like praise for his movie), claiming he won awards he didn't(and the pseudo awards he did won, he made them look more important than they were), deleting negative threads and reviews etc.

I have stopped responding to trolled posts from Ponzer on any message boards associated with me or my productions, but fair warning to anyone here that this pathetic cyberstalker follows me around the web posting malicious falsehoods about me under dozens of sock-puppet accounts, including this anonymous poster's mirror-image charges that I write under anything but my own name. He and a cohort currently using the IMDb handle Discerning_Taste create dozens of accounts on Wikipedia, IMDb, and Amazon.com for the sole purpose of trashing anything I'm associated with, creating collateral damage to the reputations of the many talented industry professionals who work with me.
My own credits, awards, current productions, and reviews are easily checked on any website that isn't user written or edited.
This person's anonymous libels are like cockroaches, hard to source back to any real person and when deleted by admins are immediately reposted using another sock-puppet account.

And lo and behold.
Jneil selfdeleted his post. Again.

I hope the 'save' facility is in use again because this thread will not be around long! (which is a shame for the original OP)

The part I really can't figure out is why he bothers to reply if he eventually always deletes his posts?
Or does he momentarily forget how many times he has lied on these boards and how easily it is to show people the truth about what a dishonest fraud he is?

No it's not. The story I found was on the page specific to this Twilight Zone episode, not the much later King novel....
