Stalked by Mr. Death

Who could blame Lou for taking Mr. Death to task for interrupting his latter day rest with this "time to depart" crap?

I don't have much left to say about the episode, "One for the Angels", that hasn't been mentioned plenty of times before. It remains fluff the 88th time I watch it, and Wynn seemed to stare down encroaching death in the Twilight Zone. This continues to be an easy, breezy early episode that plays with the representation of Death. With five seasons, this is a well Serling and his team return to plenty of times.


I got to give it to Lou Bookman. He tried his best. Summer, a hot one in the city, Lou out there putting in the work, though few are interested in the wares he has to sell.

I do watch this mostly now just to scan Wynn's ramshackle apartment just for all the odds and ends lining his shelves, nailed on his walls, and scattered about tables.





And his odd variety of items to sell are quite an eclectic mixed bag of ties, ointments, toys, and body products. You just never know what he will pull from that case. He sure sweats it out for that big pitch. But he just mostly gives away toys to kids. He makes ends meet...barely. That is what always stays with me the most.

Wouldn't I love to have one of these!
