"Deaths-Head Revisited" -it was so intense that CBS didn't want it to be shown.

Gunther Lutze, a former captain in the SS, returns to the ruins of Dachau concentration camp to relive the memories of his time as its commandant during World War II. He revels in the recollections of the torment he inflicted on the inmates, remembering with a cold smile the suffering he was responsible for. As he walks around the gallows and prepares to leave, he is surprised to see Alfred Becker, one of the camp's inmates. As they talk, Becker relentlessly dogs Lutze with the reality of his grossly inhumane treatment of the inmates, while Lutze stubbornly and unemotionally insists that he was only carrying out his orders and had no idea that the Third Reich planned to exterminate Jews. Becker and several other inmates later put Lutze on trial for crimes against humanity and find him guilty. Before Becker can pronounce the sentence, Lutze remembers that he killed Becker 17 years ago on the night US troops came close to Dachau, and realizes that Becker, as well as all the men who witnessed his trial, are ghosts. As punishment and atonement, Lutze is made to undergo the same horrors he had imposed on the inmates. He is not physically touched; rather, he experiences the pain in his mind, culminating near the gate, the gallows, and the detention room, where he screams in agony, having been driven insane.

Walking Distance, Death's Head Revisited and The Rip Van Winkle Caper are all great episodes.

Also very fond of Night of the Meek, Eye of the Beholder, The Monsters are Due on Maple Street, The Obsolete Man and various others.

If I'm being honest, I have a fondness for many of the ones that end darkly. For example, The dual twist at the end of The Old Man in the Cave is a wicked one. And To Serve Man is iconic.

When you start talking about great Twilight Zone episodes, I swear there are almost too many to even try and name.

I can't think of the title but the one where the dude wakes up from a big night of partying and NOBODY recognizes him and he is trying to prove his identity.

Then he wakes up again and the ending is insane.

I think the actor was in Big Valley tv series if I'm not mistaken.

Looked it up. It's "Person or Persons Unknown".

The Twilight Zone really could mess with your head. It had more twists than a dance marathon. M Night Shyamalan only wishes he were this twisty.

Which reminds me, I wish the movie version of this show had been better. Ditto the attempted revivals. It deserved more than the uneven treatment it got.

I will admit though that the scene in "3rd Rock from the Sun" where John Lithgow and William Shatner met and compared plane ride experiences had me rolling :lol:

That brings up a couple of questions I find interesting for Zone fanatics.

If they were going to make another movie, what four episodes would you choose?

And who would you choose as the announcer? (Forest Whittaker in the second revival wasn't spooky enough).

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
