2023 Syfy Twilight Zone Marathon Pre-New Year's Eve

 YouTube TV isn't quite as good with their up-to-date timestamp regarding DVR as DirecTV. I set up recording the marathon on YouTube TV and The Lonely, the very first episode of the 2023 marathon, is an episode recorded back five months ago! Like, what?! Why would it not be this morning? Sigh. At any rate, interesting kickoff choice, The Lonely. Where Is Everybody? and One for the Angels pop up New Year's morning. I don't know why I continue to intellectualize and analyze how these marathons are put together. I'm sure they are low effort affairs now. I guess as I have written time after time in the past, Syfy still showing Twilight Zone is some small miracle. I just wish I was watching the episodes as they were recorded this morning. No big deal because I'm racing through these commercials anyway. Syfy decided to show a bunch of Twilight Zone this year, 140!!! So that's cool.



What else can I say about The Twilight Zone episodes that I haven't year after year? I'll try in blurbs but taking a break in 2023 did me some good actually. The blog had become an excuse just to talk TZ shop. The Lonely about a prisoner on an asteroid with 40 years sentenced to suffer for what Warden said was self defense not homicidal murder receiving a robe-it (good ole Dehner the kind, compassionate astronaut bringing him supplies, responsible) has more impact with me than ever before. Lot of lonely men out there who will have access to AI powered very lifelike androids very convincingly woman. So Warden's attachment to the Alicia robe-it might mirror today's very lonesome generation of men similarly looking for companionship.

Just a fun little idea. A few keepsakes of the past.

Red Shoe Diaries - Safe Sex

 A rainy night in NYC, Joan Severance,  a fashion designer, is offered a ride in a taxi cab by fellow occupant, Stephen Bauer, who flirts with her, even providing his coat to "keep her warm" since her dress was damp and the night cold. Eventually the cab stops at Bauer's apartment complex, and he convinces Severance to come up to his flat. Eventually Bauer is seducing Severance, unable to resist her innermost desires and ready to just take him up on Tuesday and Thursday hookups, agreeing to nothing serious.  But can these "meetups and fuck" with no relationship talks continue or will real feelings and want for something more develop? When Severance's brother dies and she happens to spend the night, Bauer reiterates his displeasure in breaking the arrangement set up by them both. Zalman King's Red Shoe Diaries was, to me, a rather corny exercise in why so serious? softer-than-softcore Showtime Channel "entertainment". Rarely was I ever actuall

Wrapping up the Syfy Twilight Zone Marathon for New Year's Day 2023

So I did watch "King Nine Will Not Return", "The Man in the Bottle", "Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room" and "A Thing About Machines" during their live run Saturday, December 30, 2023. It was a rare deviation from watching the list of Syfy episodes as they were shown up until past Midnight after January 1st, 2024. I have fooled around with the idea of holding onto the Syfy episode list shown for the New Year's marathon and finishing it up this next weekend. It would be the first time I had recorded the entire Syfy episode marathon on the DVR (for YouTube TV) and watched a majority of it in order from start to finish if I decided to finish it this next weekend. I do admit that once the marathon is over it is like that excitement and nostalgic energy goes away. A little depression sets in actually. Since I was dealt with COVID during Christmas holidays, recovered and returned to myself, the Twilight Zone marathon was a big boost to my morale. S
