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.
