Love the first one,jordan peele voice is really good in narrating.

Love the comedian.Good casting,love the story,how he realized things happen because of him and the spiral downfall he went.

2nd episode got tension and the urges. I do say that the story quite stretch a bit.

Looking forward for more episodes.

wow where to watch the old series ya .. i try searching in youtube not many have

I have all the episodes

Twilight Zone (2019) Season 1 Episode 4 A Traveler

Before I start with this episode, let me put down some lines why Twilight Zone (1959) is revolutionary.

It was a platform, in which it's creator, Rod Sterling, used to illustrate ideas and points of views, without belittling it's viewer's (eg. questioning their I.Q.).

It also never forgot that is primary function, as a television program, is to entertain it's viewer.

And entertained it did!

The original series is still very much cherish (it has been release, in it's entirety on Blu-Ray) and it also spawn several reboots. In the 80s, early 2000s and this most current is 2019.

The original series ran for 5 seasons. Every season each episodes were around 30 minutes, with the exception of Season 4, in which each episode was round 50 minutes.

Back to this episode.

They adopted the season 4 format, in which each episode is around 50 minutes and the first issue I have with this new series is that each episode feels a little... dragged out.

What I will say about this new series is the production quality is slick and expensive looking.

Imagine yourself in a tiny town in Alaska.

The reason it exist is because of an American Listening Post, near the town.

The town acts as a supply town for the said listening post.

The town's deputy had to arrest her own brother (the town jail is empty), who got drunk at the town's bar, so that night, the sheriff had someone in their jail to pardon in the spirit of Christmas (it is Christmas Eve).

So when it came time to pardon the town drunk, they discovered another person in Jail, and the strange thing is, nobody remembers putting that stranger, in jail....

Like Rod Sterling, the new producer Jordan Peele narrates each episode in the beginning and end.

What is has in slick production... it lacks in originality...

Unlike the original series, the ending of episode, does not blow me away....

Or... maybe this old fart, is just jaded...

My Two Sen

have you watch all of this :


"Time Enough at Last" Meredith alone is left after a nuclear attack, thrilled that he can now do nothing but read.
"The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" On an idyllic street, neighbors turn against each other when they fear an alien is about.
"The Lonely" Warden's solitary confinement is eased by a robot.
"The Mind and the Matter" Berman's wish to be rid of other people comes true.
"The Shelter" The possibility of a nuclear attack forces a doctor with a bomb shelter to choose whom to save.
"The Whole Truth" A smooth-talking car salesman loses his greatest skill.
"Where Is Everybody?" Earl Holliman encounters home, theaters, streets—but no people.

"Time Enough at Last" Meredith alone is left after a nuclear attack, thrilled that he can now do nothing but read. Yes
"The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" On an idyllic street, neighbors turn against each other when they fear an alien is about. Yes and almost every other iteration of Twilight Zone, there is a remake
"The Lonely" Warden's solitary confinement is eased by a robot. Yes
"The Mind and the Matter" Berman's wish to be rid of other people comes true. Yes
"The Shelter" The possibility of a nuclear attack forces a doctor with a bomb shelter to choose whom to save. Have to revisit

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 1 In Praise of Pip

I am doing this is reverse order. Instead of watching it from Season 1, I am start from Season 5.

A worn out wiseguy receives bad news about his son who is in an Asian "non" war. His son is wounded and the diagnosis is that he would die. He blames himself for being a bad father and visits the fair ground in which he visited his son, when his son was 10 years old. Miraculously, he sees his 10 year old son waiting for him, THERE!

I have a vague memory of watching this before.

Having able to watch a new episode of The Twilight Zone and then the original series, I am able to pin point the missing ingredients in the latest incarnation and they are imagination and a sense of wonderment...

all of this are related to human isolation theme ..

So... you are saying we are currently NOT isolated enough??

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 2 Steel

So... Anyone here had watch Real Steel (2011)? Well, this episode inspired that. No doubt.

Nuff said

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 3 Nightmare at 20,000 Feet

Hey, William Shatner is in this one!! What would you do if you were flying in a place, and in mid flight, you notice "something" (a being of sorts) on one of the wings, trying to taer the said wing apart.

Bob Wilson (William Shatner) shows you what he will do.

What do you know, Richard Donner directed this!!

So there are at least three version of this, here, in the 1983 movie and in the latest incarnation of Twilight Zone

The only complain I have about this episode is, the "thing" in a guy in a bear suit...

So, Gremlins eat well?

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 4 A Kind of a Stopwatch

If I could stop time with a stopwatch, I will probably do what McNulty did. Probably screw up let he did too...

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 5 The Last Night of a Jockey

Wow, this one has Mickey Rooney (The short older security from Night At The Museum).

The moral in this episode states that be careful with what you wish for, because, you just might get it...

One thing I would like to add here, the advantage of this series is, it was shot on 35mm film. So remastering and presenting them in 1080p, is absolutely GORGEOUS.

i already watch the shelter and the first pilot of the twilight zone ..

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 6 Living Doll

Wanna see a precurser to Annebelle?

You got it?

Telly Savalas (Kojak) is in this.

There usually is a "lesson" to learn in each episode, and in this, should you be an abusive parent...

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 7 The Old Man in the Cave

One of the more dystopic episode in Season 5.

Keeps building up the suspense of who The All Knowing Old Man in the Cave is and the reveal... is actually disappointing...

James Coburn (The Great Escape [1963] and The Magnificent Seven [1960]) is in this.

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 8 Uncle Simon

One of the more "perverse" episode of Twilight Zone.

Is shows how a care giver and care receiver can bring the worst out of each other...

It is interesting to see a retool Robot from Lost In Space

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 9 Probe 7, Over and Out

You can clearly see, how Nicholas Cage's Knowing (2009), get it's broadstroke storyline from this episode of Twilight Zone.

At least, that is my take away from this episode.

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 10 The 7th Is Made Up of Phantoms

I found this episode... dry.

If you are in the american infantry, and you are out o a war games, with a tank, what would you do, if you find yourself at General Custer's last stand?

"Yawn*

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 11 A Short Drink from a Certain Fountain

If you want to dish it out, you better be able to take it too.

Yes, a iteration of fountain of youth.

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 12 Ninety Years Without Slumbering

Now, this is the Twilight Zone I like and remember.

It keeps you guessing the ending

Ed Wynn (who plays Uncle Albert in Mary Poppins(1964])is in this, and he is great!

And the moral of this one is you should NOT be fatalistic. Your fate is in your hand

Nuff Said

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 13 Ring-A-Ding Girl

A small town girl makes it big in Hollywood, is called back home... by her ring?

Again, one of the episode that is the definition of Twilight Zone for me.

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 14 You Drive

I wonder... Was Stephen King inspired to write Christine (1983) by this episode of Twilight Zone?

Do you believe in Karma. This episode does.



i am all Twilight Zoned out today...

Cheers

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 15 The Long Morrow

Can you love someone, go on a long trip 40 years later, still love the same people. even though they have changed, appearance wise.

This episode tries to answer that

And how isolation can effect people (the irony?)

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 16 The Self-Improvement of Salvadore Ross

Can money buy you everything?

What about immortality?

The beauty of this series is how they are able to introduce very complex idea using very simple story telling

I like this episode alot.

I did not see the ending coming.

And if you think about it, there is an "icky" factor to this episode...

The best. Used to watch this series every night back then.

Not forgotten, 'Voyage to the bottom of the Sea'.

I am doing the original series Season 5

Will review that episode when I get to is.

I tried to watch an episode of the 80s series and found myself not enjoying that as much...

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 17 Number 12 Looks Just Like You

Imagine that. In 1964, the foresaw the plastic surgery obsession we are going thru now.

Is beauty skin deep.

If everyone wants to be perfect, will everyone just... look like everyone?

Tune in to find out

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) Season 5 Episode 18 Black Leather Jackets
