scifi channel is doing there twilight zone marathon, so I thought I'd ask what everybody's favorite ep is.

So what is your favorite twilight zone ep?

Too many to chose form.

Some classics:
The original one, in which a man wanders an empty world.
The librarian who survives the nuclear holocaust.
The pioneer from 1847 who goes into the future.
Agnes Moorehead as a woman attacked by miniature aliens.

Some of my favs:

The family that steals a spaceship to escape nuclear war, and arrives at Earth. They were aliens escaping to Earth not humans escaping from Earth!

The fanatic that plans to reduce all evil people to 2 ft tall at 4 o'clock. When 4pm comes, he is reduced to 2 ft tall.

the cuban dictator with a mirror that reveals who will plot to kill him. After killing off all his associates, he looks in the mirror and sees himself and so commits suicide.

The guy who uses his friend's telekinetics powers to win at gambling. His friend fakes losing his powers so his friend will lose everything and return to the life he was meant for with the woman he loves.

The cop that goes to a diner to find a Martian. The Martian meets the bartender only to learn that the bartender is an alien from Venus and the Venusians are going to colonize Earth not the Martians.

They were so many great stories.

His wife was a real b.itch!!! Why in the world did she hate that he liked to read?

SlowwHand · July 3, 2003, 19:37

She was his mate. They're like that a lot.

theres some thing... on the wing...

i really like the one where tiny aliens make that giant fake alien. hehehehe

GePap · July 3, 2003, 20:03

I have to make one correction: the man was a bankteller I believe(which is why he ends up in the Bank vault), not a librarian.

SlowwHand · July 3, 2003, 20:06

You're probably right. I don't remember, GePap.
What I most clearly remember is the end, when all his books are in stacks.

Bingo! This was such a great ending in this episode, and yes, there were many other great episodes, as well!

The librarian episode was just on an hour ago Sloww.

SlowwHand · July 3, 2003, 20:45

What's your point, Houndhead?

joespaniel · July 3, 2003, 20:47

No point, except the one on your head.

The Will Shatner episode is my favorite.

SlowwHand · July 3, 2003, 20:48

Ohhhhh, that rips it.

joespaniel · July 3, 2003, 20:49

And you owe me one months rent.

You have good taste.

GePap · July 3, 2003, 21:36

Which Shater? there is more than one. there is the airplane one, and then there is the coin operated fortune teller one. There might even be more, i am unsure.

I've only seen the airplane one.

Tuberski · July 3, 2003, 21:46

I'm not sure if it is Twilight Zone or Outer Limits.

Ther was an episode where a bus gets stranded in a snowstorm, and a some people from the bus end up in a diner and claim they saw a UFO.

The end of the show reveals that everybody in the diner is an alien.

ACK!

GePap · July 3, 2003, 21:50

That type of plot sounds more like Twightlight Zone than Outer Limits. In fact, I do think I might remember it a bit....

Have seen to much Zone as is.

Talking Tina - the doll who kills everyone who owns her.

The one where a woman undergoes plastic surgery so that she looks like everyone else. Turns out that she is beautiful in a world full of ugly people and she doesn't want to be discriminated against.

The one where the little boy says "I wish you away" to everyone that he doesn't like or who displeases him in some way. He wishes them away into the tv.

I love Twilight Zone, especially the old ones. The newer series lacks that special touch that Serling gave to the original series.

How about the one where the uncle has his relatives wear masks? When the uncle dies, they take off the masks, only to discover that their faces are all permanently disfigured.

I still like the first episode of the series: A guy finds himself alone in a town, and getting paraniod that someone is watching him. As he runs around, he gets more insane. Finally he pushes a street crossing button, and it turns out he is actually an astronaut undergoing isolation training, and has been alone for 3 weeks, and he pushed the panic button. It was very interesting to watch.

gopher · July 4, 2003, 01:12

Actually, there is another episode that just blows my mind. It's the U-boat one. During WW2, a German man awakes on a ship with no idea how he got there, or what is going on. All he has is the feeling that the ship is being followed by a submarine. He also is being reminded of the time 1:15 am. Everyone thinks he is crazy. At 1:15am, a U-boat torpedoes the ship, and machine-guns all the survivors. including the German. Onboard the U-boat, some of the crew say that they may be dammed for their actions, but the captain scoffs at them. The captian is the same German from the begining.

Actually, the point of that one is that the woman is ugly, since she looks so abnormal compared to everyone else ("ugly" being what is normal and thus beautiful)

Those were two of my favs

i like them all!

Probably the most memorbale was one i saw only when i was little, where aliens came, claiming they were here to "Serve man"... they were there to serve man alright... serve them for dinner!

gotta love the alien ones! Also the space travel one where the human colony ship left to another planet in the technilogically advanced age of 1991!
