(First watched 2023-05-20) It wasn't even an intentional part of the episode, but to me personally the most unsettling part of the episode was when this guy was walking around wondering what's going on and suddenly it all seems very familiar... dude is walking around Hill Valley, about 26 years before they filmed [[Back to the Future]] there. | |||
Situations that test how people react to space-travel-like conditions is a realistic thing, though they seemed to take it a bit far in this episode, positing a moon trip with a single astronaut in an ultra-cramped capsule. Also, even in that situation wouldn't they expect the guy to have radio contact with Earth and thus not be in total isolation? | |||

(First watched 2023-05-20) Mr. Death seems a bit of a pushover if he was that easily persuaded to go along with the unfulfilled dream of making a big pitch... but with supernatural entities, who can tell what was part of the plan all along? | |||

(First watched 2023-05-20) Hey, [[Doug McClure]]. Even in a fantasy anthology series, they had to stick him in a western. | |||
If you ever worry you're naming a character too on-the-nose, just remember this episode's Henry J. Fate. | |||

(First watched 2023-05-22) Didn't care much for this one. We see a past-her-prime actress who's obsessed with reliving the days of her past, and what's the moral of the story? If you unhealthily obsess over something, maybe you'll get what you wanted? I guess that happens sometimes... in the Twilight Zone. | |||
