Just reminded today of how brutal the length of these 4th season episodes of Twilight Zone are
I see why SYFY often adds so little of the fourth season. The one hour episodes are just so long and drawn out. In His Image, about a robot coming to realize he is just that by eventually encountering his human creator, Jesse-Belle about a country beauty with no money setting her heart on an engaged boy named Billy-Ben through witchcraft, Mute about a telepath unable to talk after being "adopted" by a grieving couple who lost their daughter as she grapples with her ability to think and communicate through thought, The Thirty-Fathom Grave about a former sub officer seeing the ghosts of those he once served with while on a ship hearing hammering sounds from the sub below, and Death Ship about astronauts seemingly caught in a cyclical limbo loop around a planet all could certainly work in 30 minutes but during a marathon, it can be brutal, swallowing up great marathon time better served for shorter episodes.
