The Twilight Zone

Who here is a fan?

I've been watching 2-3 episodes a night recently, on Netflix. I've always had a vague desire to check it out, but it sure as hell took me a long time to get around to it. I'm really digging this series, even if so many of its concepts have since been milked to death & as such had predictable plot twists/endings. There's a lot of thematic variety & its casts serve to be a crazy revolving door of talent, making it fun to spot familiar faces. Some of the acting is over the top, befitting of such a show, but much of it is quite well done. A refreshing palette cleanser compared to so many of today's hacks.

What are some of your favorite episodes?

Of what I have seen so far, these stood out for me:

Walking Distance- A guy goes back in time to his childhood/hometown, bumping into his parents & former self.

The Man In The Bottle- A down on their luck couple who run an antique shop encounter a genie who grants 4 wishes with dire consequences.

Mirror Image- A woman keeps seeing her doppelganger while stranded in a bus station. She fears she's losing her mind.

A Penny For Your Thoughts- When a coin lands upright, it grants the banker who drops it the ability to read minds.

A Piano In The House- A man buys a piano whose music makes its listener spill their heart out, revealing their inner most thoughts & feelings.

A Kind Of Stop Watch- There exists a stop watch which can stop time, & it falls into the hands of a very high-strung individual.

Number Twelve Looks Just Like You- In a dystopian future, at age 18, you're forced to undergo cosmetic surgery that makes you look exactly like one of the 20 model appearances offered - but one girl refuses.
