The third season of Jessica Jones sort of dropped on Netflix with not as much fanfare while Stranger Things' upcoming season is all the rage. Sadly Disney and Netflix' dissolving relationship, with Marvel a biproduct of that divorce sucks for us comic book fans. Granted, I have only watched Jessica Jones but I had always planned on watching the others eventually. I admit, while currently in the second season of Jessica Jones, I just remember the enthusiasm and ongoing excitement for Marvel fans enjoying Netflix adult approach to other less "notable" comic book heroes that seemed to serve as a pleasant alternative. I have really enjoyed Jessica Jones, the edginess and attitude of the series. Granted, I do wish there had been a better "villain" for the second season but I have continued to enjoy the developing characters on the show, especially Trish's transformation, thanks to her addiction and desire to "do more" in the city. Jessica having her share of problems with her mother, friendships and acquaintances suffering "setbacks", and her own inner struggles; I realize why this is the series that has attracted me more than the others. I just wish the series wasn't sort of dropping at a time when Netflix is threatened by Disney +, a streaming service I will probably most definitely sign up for.

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:...
