The Twilight Zone
Can't believe a thread doesn't exist for this show.
Happy to have woken up on a day off to see a mini-marathon being played. Coffee and Bill Mumy slangin folks into the cornfield. I'll be on the couch for awhile, that's for true.

Re: The Twilight Zone
I love the marathon around New Years. Each year I watch an unhealthy amount.

Re: The Twilight Zone
It's nowhere near one of my favorites, and Bill Mumy is annoying in it, but it's the Twilight Zone so it gets a pass.wease wrote:I was just thinking of that episode this morning.Balki wrote:Can't believe a thread doesn't exist for this show.

Re: The Twilight Zone
Interesting choice. I do like Nick of Time, but it's not in my top tier of eps. Man, picking one is very difficult. Lately it's been "A Piano In The House." But I think ultimately it's "3rd From The Sun" or "The Masks."LoathedVermin72 wrote:Favorite episode? I think mine is “Nick of Time”.

Re: The Twilight Zone
Currently watching "I Shot An Arrow Into The Air" while I house some coffee...
“Now you make your tracks Mr. Corey. You move out and up like some kind of ghostly billy club tapping at your ankles and telling you that it was later than you think. You scramble up rock hills and feel hot sand underneath your feet and every now and then, take a look over your shoulder at a giant sun suspended in a dead and motionless sky…like an unblinking eye that probes at the back of your head in a prolonged accusation. Make tracks, Mr. Corey. Push up and push out. Because if you stop…if you stop, maybe sanity will get you by the throat. Maybe realization will pry open your mind and the horror you left down in the sand will seep in. Yeah, Mr. Corey, yeah, you better keep moving. That’s the order of the moment. Keep moving.”

Re: The Twilight Zone
Now it's time for Long Live Walter Jameson.
You're looking at Act One, Scene One, of a nightmare, one not restricted to witching hours of dark, rainswept nights. Professor Walter Jameson, popular beyond words, who talks of the past as if it were the present, who conjures up the dead as if they were alive...In the view of this man, Professor Samuel Kittridge, Walter Jameson has access to knowledge that couldn't come out of a volume of history, but rather from a book on black magic, which is to say that this nightmare begins at noon.

Re: The Twilight Zone
The Twilight Zone is the best T.V. has ever been.
Some many plot devices employed that are now horror/sci-fi tropes.
Seasons 1 to 3 and 5 are available free to Prime members.

Re: The Twilight Zone
Completely agree. TTZ is my favorite show ever...By far. Part of that is because it's probably also tied to nostalgia.run2death wrote:The Twilight Zone is the best T.V. has ever been.

Re: The Twilight Zone
The best sci-fi and horror relies on the imagination more than actually showing, which is what this show did so well.

Although, all the leftover Forbidden Planet props were kinda fun.

Re: The Twilight Zone
Nick of time was when Shatner and his wife wind up in a small town because their vehicle crapped out on them, and he (Shatner) winds up getting addicted to the ambiguous answers that the fortune teller machine is giving him in the dinerdimejinky99 wrote:LoathedVermin72 wrote:Favorite episode?
