2012 was certainly this blog's finest year. I was rejuvenated during this year after some fits and starts. I have certainly wrote quite a bit since then, but I think 2012 was when the blog was in its prime. I often think this blog has staled into mediocrity. Too much writing can do that.

I was reading my review for Final Exam (review here: Click if you so desire), really getting a good sense of how high my spirits were at the time.

More valleys, these days, than peaks. 2012 was Mount Everest. I don't think the blog will quite reach those heights again.

To Serve Man is nearly 60 years ago. I've been watching Twilight Zone since I was a teenager in the mid 90s thanks to Sci Fi Channel. Many of my family have passed since (for instance, my mother's siblings are all about gone except one last sister), and it wouldn't be right to avoid a marathon during the 4th if just for nostalgic reasons. Syfy didn't see the value of TZ on Independence Day, except last year, so even though I cannot watch episodes like I do during New Year's Eve and Day, it is nice to try and sneak in a block of episodes whenever possible. I started with Death Ship from the fourth season, continuing with Stopover in a Quiet Town and The Gift . To Serve Man would feel like a later afternoon watch but SYFY showed it at 3:...
