109: '''Perchance to Dream''' ''[[1959]] [[November 27]]'' | 109: '''Perchance to Dream''' ''[[1959]] [[November 27]]'' | ||
(First watched 2023-05-29) Maya the Cat Girl dances a lot like Elaine Benes. | |||
A guy with a bad heart and a good imagination manages to scare himself to death... I guess the most surprising thing is he made it to his mid-30s. I note the actor was 49, so I was right when watching the episode to think that the 35-year-old seemed pretty old. | |||
This is maybe the first episode where something _technically_ made it feel really aged. And that is the simple rear projection used for the roller coaster ride looking really fake. | |||

110: '''Judgment Night''' ''[[1959]] [[December 4]]'' | 110: '''Judgment Night''' ''[[1959]] [[December 4]]'' | ||
(First watched 2023-06-05) I feel like beyond the first few minutes when I was like "Are we just watching some poor dope who's had a stroke?", the gist of the thing was a bit obvious even without all the specifics yet given. | |||
To me this is another case of something being interesting for reasons beyond what they intended. To me, both this show and World War II are pretty ancient history, but from the perspective of this episode it's a story of ''recent'' history. | |||
The way "hell" is repeating your own believed wrongs eternally reminded me of the way things worked on the Lucifer TV show. | |||

111: '''And When the Sky Was Opened''' ''[[1959]] [[December 11]]'' | 111: '''And When the Sky Was Opened''' ''[[1959]] [[December 11]]'' | ||
(First watched 2023-06-06) This veered a bit close to Caveman Science Fiction for me. Because these people did something that hadn't been done before, a weird awful unexpected thing happened back to them. | |||
I was curious about the never-seen plane. Did it change as people disappeared, too? Because certainly experimental aircraft/spacecraft of the day weren't built for three if they only needed one or two to operate them. | |||
Based on a story by [[Richard Matheson]], there's a familiar name. | |||
