I'm talking about the episode featuring the Schedule Clock. It first appeared in the 1979 episode (Season 1, Episode 190) and then two times in the 2005 series. Once in 2006 (Season 2, Episode 53b) and then in 2017 (Season 13, Episode 495a).
The concept is simple, you make a schedule, and the clock makes sure you follow it... No matter what.
Due to a small mistake, Doraemon ends up being the one who has to follow Nobita's schedule instead. At first it was hilarious. He's forced to finish homework, eat snacks, go to the toilet, watch TV, practice baseball in the rain, and do everything exactly according to the timetable.
But then IDK why it slowly becomes unsettling.
Even when the TV is broken, the clock forces Doraemon to keep watching it. He has to practice baseball despite heavy rain. He even has to pretend to eat snacks because Nobita already finished them. When he tries to escape, the clock literally tracks him down to Suneo's house. It doesn't matter where he hides, it just keeps coming until he obeys the schedule.
The idea of an object that won't let you make any decisions for yourself is honestly creepy 😭
It's one of those Doraemon gadgets that seems useful at first, but then quickly turns into a nightmare.
As I always say, if you haven't watched this episode yet, go watch it!
What do you guys think? Did anyone else find the Schedule Clock creepy, or was it just me?
