Rod Serling presents Piano in the House "...we will not end the nightmare, only explain it. In the Twilight Zone" -- Rod Serling, looking down into the "cylinder prison" in the episode "Five Characters in Search of an Exit" I'll do some analysis on and off today and tomorrow, Episode titles in bold I watched but did not comment. Tuesday, December 31, 2024 3:00am – The Chaser (hilariously the Syfy cut dispenses with Roger/Leila conversation to a point to just get on with it...but there is a distaste this leaves behind now that might not have been as distinct then) 3:30am – The Self-Improvement of Salvadore Ross (definitely a fifth season episode fit for 2:30 in the morning of the New Year's Eve portion of the marathon. Salvatore buys compassion and dies because it wasn't part of his personality. The sociopath is traded in a barter for money but the woman he wanted in this contest of his own making cost him his life thanks to a father he couldn...

Meredith, Hank's current love interest, enlists him to join her at an environmental fundraiser, of which he obviously does reluctantly (and with his own sarcastic protest), in order to see her married lover. Meanwhile, at that same fundraiser, Karen is bumped into by some dick who mouths off at her, calling her a cunt when she happens to clash with his personality in what could have been just a simple accident handled quickly. While William just wants Karen to chill out and back off, when Hank finds out, he slugs the twerp...it's obvious Karen kinda likes the more physical approach than diplomatic. Also, Charlie, Hank's agent, lets the naughty secretary, Didi's provocative side, to rub off on him with Hank intervening before it could get too out of hand...but not before Didi was in lingerie posing for Charlie as he photographs her as if the two were preparing a Playboy centerfold shoot!  The sweet moments are sprinkled in among the moments of debauchery, mostly thanks t...

 Occasionally I return back to this blog, get a brief fling going, then retreat back to wherever my interests get distracted by. Back to this show, it's a wild alternative Duchovny show, with his Hank hearing Karen confront him with her fiance's blog job and giving their daughter something to look up to him for. His agent knew he wouldn't take the job if he knew William was the boss, concealing that in the hopes his client might end the five year drought. Meanwhile Hank has found his way into a possible relationship with a pretty redhead divorce attorney involved with a married man more than five years. A dog and painting worth a small fortune are stolen from the married guy's house, Hank finds new owners for, Mia steals Hank's story for a creative writing class, and Karen prepares for her wedding to William...oh, and Hank gets into a scuffle with the director responsible for his book's cheesy adaptation he ceases never a lecture not to trash. Meredith being a p...

I initially shared this on Letterboxd but decided instead to put it here: That moment where Sidney lets Stu know she wasn't about to just go quietly (while the birdbrain bleeds and bleeds) across the phone then gives Billy the umbrella stab surprise while dressed herself in the Ghost face costume, that was when I think she definitely secured her place as a slasher icon. The film could have kept Gale as just a fame-chasing narcissist but instead, with the Billy/Stu gun in her hand, the safety now off, gets her shot off. It's a nice character touch. Instead of the two seemingly being total rivals, they stand together. And I couldn't have believed that when Sidney punches Gale in the face at the beginning of the film.

I decided to just post this here instead of on Letterboxd. Just a brief thought about the film: That moment where Sidney lets Stu know she wasn't about to just go quietly (while the birdbrain bleeds and bleeds) across the phone then gives Billy the umbrella stab surprise while dressed herself in the Ghost face costume, that was when I think she definitely secured her place as a slasher icon. The film could have kept Gale as just a fame-chasing narcissist but instead, with the Billy/Stu gun in her hand, the safety now off, gets her shot off. It's a nice character touch. Instead of the two seemingly being total rivals, they stand together. And I couldn't have believed that when Sidney punches Gale in the face at the beginning of the film.

 This was a surprise when I was looking up the October schedule of SYFY. They don't do a lot of marathons besides the New Year's or the occasional 4th of July. Perhaps fitting the Halloween season, SYFY wanted to work in The Twilight Zone as a plus one. Thankfully I had the DVR running so if I had watched some horror films elsewhere -- my daughter wanted to work in FearFest 2024 AMC horror, four of the films watched Saturday -- I could begin from when SYFY started and try to get in as many as I could according to the time I had. SYFY kicked off their schedule with The Thirty Fathom Grave . 8:00 AM: S1 - E8102 The Thirty Fathom Grave (I really enjoy watching this one on Sci-fi Channel. I do wish this had come on Sunday afternoon. This feels like the perfect late Sunday episode.. I do feel that maybe if it was fit for the 30 minute format, it would be a lean, chilling, psychological tormenting of and the spirits of a downed sub’s supernatural pursuit of Kellin Chief Boatswain as ...

 The Italian mob family, Sposato, killed a guy named Francois Edmonds from Haiti...big mistake. They think another gang, led by Fargas' Sweetstick Weldon, is responsible for a rash of back-break kills to the Sposato family. Kolchak, though, investigates and discovers that voodoo might be responsible, practiced by a vengeance-seeking mother, Mamalois (Paulene Myers). Francois will not stay buried, and it seems Charles Aidman's Police Captain Winwood might be a target since Kolchak deduces he's on Sposato's payroll.  I gotta admit that this particular episode wasn't quite as good as I remembered. Kolchak in a car graveyard pouring salt in a zombie's mouth and sewing it shut to protect himself from a voodoo back break in the murky dark didn't quite give me the willies as much as giggles. The episode hasn't aged well since voodoo in the 70s and 80s often appeared quite westernized as horror film fodder, though I am the first to admit I love "Sugar Hill...

 After watching the two Kolchak television movies, I thought it would be cool to watch some episodes from the show currently on Peacock. The first episode was on Jack the Ripper, seemingly still alive and kicking. Somehow, besides electricity, Ripper can withstand gunfire, mow through Chicago cops, leap from buildings, and take a car hit head on.  This has some similarities to the first film in that the Night Stalker overpowers police and has the police Chief (and Vincenzo in the news office) takes great offense to Kolchak's repeated efforts to get at the Ripper, offering his own explanation about how the current killer (using a sword pulled from a sheath cane) attacking adult workers at night is no ordinary man. Breaking out of a maximum security prison is enough of an example to take the Ripper seriously as someone beyond the typical criminal that can be arrested and stay arrested. Despite the attempts to keep Kolchak at his desk (working Dear Emily letters for a reporter ou...

Serling presents King Nine Will Not Return  Just working in some episodes here and there this Labor Day weekend. Going backwards starting with just the absolute worst, The Bewitchin' Pool , I am just reminded of how atrocious the acting and direction is. Emblematic of the downward trajectory of the show, to this very day I wish there had been a better episode to close such an iconic classic. That horrendous dubbing of Sport, the insufferable parents, and the general creepiness of Aunt T in her backwoods Never Neverland putting kids to chores explaining how labor makes good kids better just leaves a bad taste I cannot wait to get rid of by watching a much more worthwhile episode of the show. And repeating the same divorce talk scene at the beginning and end is the icing on Aunt T's big ass cake. The theme does tap into an unfortunate situation that plagues children to this day, a wish to escape domestic strife and dysfunctional family challenges that leave them wanting to retrea...

 One of my favorite first season episodes remains Deep Throat. Not just because Hardin's insider who knows a lot and seems capable of guiding Mulder towards truth...but in a certain way, done in a calculated approach. Sometimes Mulder can be too stubborn to listen to advice. Like when he's told not to go to a secret airport base in Idaho, not located on any reputable map. Could Roswell alien aircraft wreckage have been shipped to this base and years later that technology lead to experimental stealth planes capable of incredible feats? Mulder is willing to take a chance, using the disappearance of a pilot who might just have been in the cockpit of such stealth aircraft as a means to get to the precious truth he always pursued.

 The second season creature that is the very definition of Monster of the Week. The hermaphroditic, parasitic, radioactive flukeworm with certain humanoid traits, given great detailed elaboration through Scully's scientific biological gobbledygook. The jargon is there, a Russian cargo ship with a sewage tank holding a possible radioactive manmade byproduct of nuclear fallout right out of Chernobyl finding new digs in Newark, NJ! We learn that someone in the FBI is a friend to Mulder and Scully, telling Mulder he must be successful in taking care of the episode's threat. Neutralizing the fluke creature is imperative. Obviously, this is paramount to the eventual reopened X files. Scully even challenges Mulder on his question of a very big flukeworm realizing old feelings of when they were working the X files still. Mulder getting fed up with Skinner, just going from generic assignment to generic assignment, is further established as the two butt heads on the work; whether or not ...

 "And I still have you." - Mulder to Scully after realizing he still has no evidence of extraterrestrial life while investigating a tape recording at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. The Watergate scandal on television when Samantha was taken and a young Fox Mulder cannot stop it, that bright light and just this bodily form that might be alien in the same episode as Fox later seeing that same potential form within a bright light at the Observatory in "Little Green Men", the 30th anniversary coming up, I was happy to once again revisit the second season opener as I always do from time to time. It's got Senator Richard Matheson coordinating with Mulder, giving him bread crumbs towards evidence thanks to contact through the Voyager probe. I love seeing Skinner tell Cigarette Smoking Man to get out of his office when the cretin gloats about Mulder losing the X Files and having nothing. Even while leaving his post after wire tap surveillance work, Mulder is no...

 It was back on today at noon, but this Miami Vice episode just feels like it belongs on your tube at midnight. It has that seedy feel and the subject matter -- a foster home repeater (and clearly abuse victim) who is 18 years old named Jackie is on the streets of Miami and big star of a Sex World club stage act with a disturbed lover so devoted to her he is willing to look the other way and clean up serial killings of guys she picks up (or offers to pay for sexual services -- is perfectly skeevy, the kind of episode that Miami Vice was born to portray. Tubbs is different than other men who see Jackie as just a sexual object, a body to fuck. Tubbs wants her to get help, offering rehab services, unaware she's the "Miami ripper". The ending has that gulp-in-the-throat punch-in-the-gut  feel we all grew up expecting on Miami Vice.

 So I am obsessed with an episode from the second season of Miami Vice, Little Miss Dangerous, but I am currently working and it came on today (Friday early afternoon) on Roku Channel's Universal Action, so I already want to watch it in full, without distraction, to write a review for the blog. It has the score from "Hardware" on it, especially at the end. And the performance, and adult themes of the episode through her, of Fiona as a sex clue act performer (who just might be underage, but she tells Tubbs she's 18) as a serial killer with multiple personalities could be up there with the likes of Bruce McGill in his episode. The second season is a gold mine of great characters. 

Some films leave me just, I dunno, sad or really stewing about what they have to say. To say this film left me with complicated feelings is an understatement. Today, this subject matter, especially in America, is a huge no-no. Age-gap relationships are very topical today, quite polarizing. To say the YouTube algorithm throws up videos about this subject aplenty is also an understatement. So I don’t think we ever got a specific age for Nicole Harrison’s Lisa (I read the actress was 20 at the time; I’m not exactly sure how she came in contact with those who made this student film), but it indicates she was a teenager with an absent father and mother who is “a dancer” we never see throughout the entirety of the running time. For all I know, that scene where Jay Horenstein’s photography studio employee, Paul, visits a strip club, the dancer on the stage could have been Lisa’s mother. We just never really know.  Lisa wants a trip to school after visiting Paul’s home to sell him chocolat...

Sadly, I just couldn't stay awake for the marathon in the wee hours at the start, and I was busy with a family get together during the day. I finally checked in at right as Static was ongoing (never been a favorite, to be honest, as I have documented here plenty of times), so I would say officially, Probe 7: Over and Out was really the first full episode for this marathon. The appeal of the 4th of July marathon has not always been as significant as the New Year's, since a lot of the time you will get two days plus to get in some mini-marathons if not outright blocks of hours on end. The 4th of July marathon was more important in the 90s for me when I would watch them with my deceased uncle before attending our family gathering later in the afternoon. I would record the marathon on VHS tapes and watch them during the next week. Probe 7: Over and Out , like a lot of others, I have given so much writing to that I have very little left to say. I wish the content of the episode --...

 As much as the fifth season caused me such woes a few weeks ago, starting on the third season has been right the opposite. Political intrigue with Liam Neeson speaking on Ireland while falling in love with Sandra Santiago's Vice cop before committing to a potential act of terrorism in "When Irish Eyes are Crying", Bob Balaban's geopolitical on-the-ground correspondent (and Vietnam buddy to Crockett) getting mixed up with G Gordon Liddy's Maynard (undergoing violent operations in Nicaragua) again thanks to a video recording resulting in a town full of innocent women, children, and church priest being shot, many killed in "Stone's War" (where a news journalist is also killed for refusing to give up a tape provided by Balaban to her), a DEA agent blackmailed by a criminal drug organization for his jai alai playing brother's drug and prostitution use in "Killshot", and Tubbs going to prison undercover in order to bring a warden and guards ...

I have been absolutely fascinated with Letterboxd's reaction to this film. Talk about polarizing! I still look through the comments/reviews on this film. It is beyond hated. The story about an 18 year old student in a Tennessee high school (that seems to have such a small student body for some reason; it looks like it was shot during the pandemic or something), with a very flirty lesbian friend who admittedly has fun teasing a football coach. Ortega's Cairo Sweet has absent parents off on another trip, leaving her behind to wallow in melancholy and narrate her woe to us about how to jazz up her profile for a school out of state. A lot of the dialogue uses literary words and the characters talk as if they speak in a language completely of some world we are not part of...or most of us. I assume, there are pockets of intellectuals impressing each other with how smart they are. This feels like that. Beatrice, an English teacher's wife who is a current author, is really busy and...

 I decided to move my Letterboxd comments and review here: Top 5 scenes: 1) Rollergirl makes sure that guy from school remembered her, after Jack got some licks in 2) Little Bill is confronted by cameraman, Longjohn, about equipment needed; this after Bill just once again found his wife screwing some random guy in the middle of the yard near Jack's pool party. Little Bill kind of had more important matters on his mind than how the shoot would be photographed 3) Poor Buck just wants to be a cowboy, sits morose dressed as Rick James, and removes the wig, while actress, Melora, sees him alone and strikes up a talk about sunsets 4) Rollergirl wants Amber to be mommy...the two sort of bonding over snorts of nose candy 5) Rollergirl is just called on to be dramatic chapter breaks for PTA and I loved that director choice; she's the constant, rolling through every timeline. I think in terms of that chapter break I enjoy is when PTA has Rollergirl with her trusty camera taking a snap of...

 Just one last gripe since the marathon has returned to the first season out of the fifth season, the show at the end did both Gina and Trudy really dirty. While the 3rd and 4th seasons started to give these characters more to do, the fifth season just kicked them to the curb. That sucks. By the end, they were visiting Crockett and Castillo in the hospital at their beds while recovering from gunshot wounds or reacting to story action that rarely involves them. They got the shaft as Larry Zito (Diehl) did, until he was just killed off. The fifth season had episodes that just continued to emphasize Crockett and Tubbs could never have a relationship and got sick of their jobs. It was dreary, dark, and dour. The fun died out. The colors were muted. It was a drag.

 I will say that while I am just not as much a fan of the last two seasons of Miami Vice, going through the marathon currently showcasing the series on Universal Action on Roku Channel, I did appreciate seeing wisened Crockett and Tubbs discussing losing those they love and you just feel their wearying emotional states as the job has cost them so much, including love and life.

 Following the close of the fourth season and beginning fifth season, Miami Vice committed to a story arc involving Sonny Crockett suffering amnesia and "becoming" a drug lord lieutenant and "ideas mind" willing to kill for the latest kingpin until he could seize and empire for himself, shooting his way through a lot of crime family people before his memory as a narcotics cop returned, mostly thanks to Tubbs. I hated this arc because I found no plausible reason he could ever be a police officer again, and, if anything, would go to prison. He kills a lot of people in cold blood, even shooting Tubbs! Crime families fall, Crockett, in the personality of Burnett even shoots a cop with a gun on him. I just refuse to believe Crockett, even if not in his right mind, could just snap back to his old self and return eventually to vice duty.

 There was a moment in Soderbergh's sex, lies & videotape (1989) when Graham (Spader) is listening/watching Cynthia's (Giacomo) "confessionals", so shaken by their "discussion" that he has to turn away. The seduction or allure of this process for Graham loses its luster and he cannot just get off to Cynthia's personal sexual history, especially when discussing Ann and husband, John's (McDowell and Gallagher) lack of intimacy in the bedroom. Even the adultery comes up and before you know it all three, Cynthia, Ann, and John know about Graham's extracurricular activities. It is that turnaway of Graham from the screen that speaks volumes. How a side pleasure that helps to deal with his emotional impotence (due to the neverseen Elizabeth) leaves Graham's world turned upside down is just one of the film's many fascinating open wounds laid bare by this film.

I had to commit to rearranging DVDs and blus that were bought for the family. And, of course, some of my own sort of get mixed in. I happened upon by accident, really, a triple feature set that I had picked up years ago that has Quiet Ones , Jessabelle , and The Devils Hand . Initially I believe I got this for Jessabelle , and I had seen Quiet Ones in the theater. 

 Today when I got home from an Easter get-together with my mom and just a busy morning overall, my daughter watched Critters 2 (1988) and Night of the Lepus (1972) with me. The moos were quieted as the Crites and giant Rabbits went on the feeding frenzy rampage. Mick Garris, with his Stephen King adaptations, may end up being more known for his Easter horror Critter sequel if that truly remains in the zeitgeist while western television director, Claxton, probably hoped when alive most forgot about the cute bunnies scurrying about miniature towns meant to portray devastated locations in the Midwest.

 I have to imagine I'm not the only one who found the Cretins just vandalizing, motorcycling through, spraypainting, and crashing the high school strangely cathartic, as if living vicariously through them; at some point, a good many of us just dreamt of releasing those kind of tensions, akin to a "rage cage". Tossing desks, books, and tables off the top of school building, even crushing the earth globe, and leaving rooms a disaster; the Cretins seem to really live their dream. I have to imagine the cast involved had a blast just laying waste to Tromaville High School. Speaking of Tromaville, I'm not sure bragging about being the mecca of nuclear waste is something to be proud of... --- I decided to just put this here on the blog. I read it and it might be wrongfully read as if I was pro destruction of property and school, but it was just seeing the free flowing anarchy that I figured students who just hate school would dream of just unleashing on the place. The film s...

 This was the next to last episode of the second season and while it is a domestic story about capitalist greed where miners are subjected to terrible treatment in terms of pay, working and living conditions, and fraudulent activity, there includes an erupting volcano that adds a lot of danger and intrigue to String and Dom's efforts to help out the exploited workers and their families while contending with the scum lording power over them as they combat substantial difficulty. Juanita Mahone is the vocal force to be reckoned with Mills Watson wants to silence while Laraine Day ("Foreign Correspondent" and a great history of television) is the wife of the mining company's dead CEO; Mills, the police, and a reluctant accountant (William Cort; "Heathers"/"Elvira: Mistress of the Dark") will need to quell any resistance, not to easy when String and Dom arrive to stir up trouble for them. Of course, the end has Mills and his chopper pilots targeting th...

 Well, Hank just drives down a road and has women throwing their phone numbers at him or meets him at a little dinner (though his ex, Karen), wanting to get high and fuck upstairs in one of Bill and Karen's rooms. That's just sort of how it works out for Hank. He can't seem to figure out what to write, sort of stuck in this hell in LA, a city he just hates. He moved out there, sure, but New York is his love, so any real acclimation to the city seems difficult at best. Adding to the complication of not being able to move on from Karen, Hank also tries to recover from the fact that he slept with an underage daughter of the man who wants to marry his real first true love, Bill. Even worse, perhaps, is that Bill owns a website looking to hire Hank; he learns this at the end of the dinner party night when confronted by 16 year old Mia, Bill's daughter, who clearly still wants to fuck him. So Hank has a lot on his mind, for sure. With all the conversation on "vaginal rej...

 A good bit of the first season really leaned on The Firm missions for the Airwolf, plenty of global and government espionage and intrigue, politically charged and the stories were seemingly never too far away from sky battles with terrorism plots even woven in. Then the second season seemed to change a lot, veering away from String and Santini tackling serious missions, instead opting to stick them with stunt jobs to help fund their helicopter company. "Out of the Sky", to me, is the bottom of the barrel in terms of wasting the initial premise in favor of mediocre plots...a Country music star (Misty Rowe) kidnapped while a doppleganger is set up to be crushed by a prop spaceship loaded with explosives to go off so the audience is provided a light show...Rowe's agent (Mayf Nutter) decides to kill her off so the record sales increase substantially in order for him to pay off his debts! Stringfellow Hawke is smitten with the singer/songwriter and wants to make sure she is r...

 So all the world's a...snowglobe? -- If that was my life and Anna Falchi kept popping up, it sure wouldn't be that bad at all. I just love how the police inspector keeps popping up, only to tell Francesco (Everett) he's not a suspect (when he should be), only for our cemetery caretaker/walking dead destroyer to react with frustration and even anger is just perfect as is how Falchi just keeps showing up over and over, multiple characters, in the same locality. And they all seem drawn sexually to Francesco and vice versa. I cracked up when the third Falchi tells Everette "the medicine doesn't seem to work". That hypo sure seemed full, though!  -- There is just cool shit right up my alley, like the makeout in the puddled ossuary where a kiss is shared between both participating parties passionately except with head coverings, Francesco burning papers when visited by Death convinced to "use his gun before the bodies are buried" who resembled The Ghost o...

 The second episode of season 1 has Duchovny and his dog Stella exiting a diner where his PO Box is located, picking up a coffee before opening a folder to reveal another letter, this time from an ad exec, Diane (Laura Johnson) near an isolated industrial area of Los Angeles near train tracks. Diane discusses a period of time where she was working late in her office, noticing who she thought might be an investment banker or lawyer (Arnold Vosloo of "The Mummy"!!!). They lock eyes and this mysterious man sends her a fax, daring her to tell him her name. During the course of the episode, the nights they trade faxes, they dare each other to do some naughty things like remove clothing, all the while tempting a potential hookup. While Diane certainly plays her part, it is the mystery man across the street in an adjacent building who proposes they meet in person to fuck. Vosloo even fucks a woman on his desk in his office with the shades open, looking right at Johnson, hoping this ...

  Mark Weiler is a full body massage therapist working for Michelle Lay, secretly sexually involved with clients who seem to use the excuse of the establishment to weekly visit to fuck him. For a lot of guys, that seems like the perfect job. He, however, wants to open his own massage business, but the rich clients that might could potentially financially assist him are mostly married or only interested in having sex, not discussions about some other massage location to frequent for that orgasm lacking at home.  Kaylani Lei is a fellow massage therapist and part-time lover of Weiler. This guy is living almost his best life. I guess he's of that 1% or whatever the fuck YouTube video dudes label guys women flock to and have hard times forgetting when he discards them unceremoniously. He just wants to be a boss instead of Lay's underling...he makes her a lot of money, but how much is that his hands smoothing aches and pains as opposed to his mouth, tongue, and cock making the clie...

I’ll just be honest: I’m not rushing to pop in “Freeway” very often or even think about it at all. I saw it back around 1997, then again maybe 2001, and was reminded of it when I passed the second one in the mid aughts some time. Much like “Kids” or “Gummo”, the film looks like it was dragged across gravel and baked a bit under the Arizona sun, perhaps pulled from the burning remains of a warehouse that held too many canisters and wasn’t properly air-conditioned. If I’m honest, I watched this basically because it was the first film in Joe Briggs’ Violent Valentine special on Shudder, the replay. Reese as “little red riding hood”, a near broken teenager from a horrible childhood (mother works the street corner, father looks suspiciously like a notorious serial killer, the stepdad a parolee crack smoking molester mostly coming off a hysterical high), happens to be left for the foster system yet again when her “parents” (if you call them that) are taken off by police back to the slammer. ...

 One of those softcore offerings shot on the very cheap, set in a very singular location, with only two rooms used for the sex scenes and only three in the cast alternating in duo fucks. It starts without Isis Love's Shannon, of the title, as a couple, Dino Bravo's Pete and Nadia Hilton's Kara, talk while in a funeral parlor. Eventually they cannot deny the lust and desire for each other. Eventually Shannon turns up, finding herself alone with both Pete and Kara, seemingly seducing them as much as they do her! It ends with the threesome together and Pete and Kara fucking themselves one final time.  Like most softcore, it really depends on if you find the cast attractive (you'd like to fuck them or be fucked by them) and how the characters in the film work out the sex scenes. I'd say the cast will be considered attractive enough but with such a limited cast, the film improbably pairs them over and over, seemingly during a night. That's a lot of fucking and no sho...

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...
