Post GOAT Twilight Zone episodes. Recently watched this and it's become one of my favorites. Also discussion on The Outer Limits is welcome.
I liked kick the can.
>>70333772
Nick of Time is pretty good.
A Game of Pool is my favorite all time.
One for the Angels
>>70333772
fuck there's a lot of options for GOAT episode, which one had the best shock?
>>70333997
>game of pool
comfy
When I first saw Drunken Master II, I kinda thought it was a ripoff of Mr. Denton on Doomsday.
Saw DMII before seeing the original, btw, and I prefer it to that. Sorry metronome-fu purists. That's just the way it happened.
The one with Will Shatner
>>70333997
Came to post this.
>>70334176
>which one had the best shock?
A Stop at Willoughby is a good choice. I Shot an Arrow Into the Air and A Nice Place to Visit would be up there too.
>>70334194
YES
>>70334617
Right on, that episode had exceptional dialogue.
>>70333772
It's weird how much more attention the airplane one gets, this one was way better.
Anyway I just watched Quality of Mercy, was good.
I never watched the series but I have heard a few of the radio plays which is better?
>one of the plays had a character voiced by Costanza
That one with the guy on some prison asteroid. He gets a robot wife to live with and when he finally gets to gohe has to decide to leave her.
It should be very relevant with modern NEET/weebs
Why haven't they remade this?
>>70334741
Yeah Nightmare at 20,000 Feet is one of my least favorites in the entire series.
>>70334814
series
>>70334850
its called Black Mirror
>>70334838
The Lonely
>>70333772
will the real martian please stand up?
one more pallbearer (GOAT TZ episode)
the midnight sun
eye of the beholder
its a good life
the boxing one in season 1
the writer one in season 1
i am tjhe night, color me black
one for the meek
the one with the little people who worship stranded astronaut as a god
there are so many war episodes. one that I remember being good is the one where the guy can see the men who will die before they do.
>>70334850
they have. twice. (bad). and a movie (half good, half bad).
and a "spiritual sequel" black mirror (UK), on netflix. good shit.
>>70334980
The movie is only known for the helicopter accident
>>70334850
There was an 80s reboot and a 00s reboot, both of which completely sucked because they just can't capture that essence. The original series managed to be both timeless and very much encapsulated in its time period at once. That's pretty special and can't simply be replicated.
Besides they tried to give the show too much of a horror spin, completely missing the point of the original.
"The masks" for some introspection.
>>70333772
best episode coming through
"And When the Sky Was Opened" has one of the most terrifying premises from the show. It scarred me when I first watched it as a kid
I'm going through the Outer Limits right now, and I really think that The Borderland doesnt get enough recognition. I absolutely love the way the scenes in the power plant are lit.
I loved "I am the Night, Color Me Black"
eh?
>>70336451
this and the shelter are GOAT commentary episodes about the red scare. man, this show was in a league of its own. still is. rod serling is based as fuck.
>>70336451
Nothing in the Dark was always one of my favorites.
Despite the memes, terror at 20000 feet is probably the GOAT. It's hard to judge it fairly because it's so hyped, but seriously, go watch it again.
>>70333772
Great episode, Shatner was excellent in this, just his total look of hopelessness.
>>70334699
A Nice Place to Visit for sure, was excellent, lost my shit when Rocky was calling him Fats.
>>70334617
A Game of Pool, one of my favorite episodes.
>>70336678
nah. shatner's acting is hammy and the costume has not aged well at all, it looks hilarious.
one more pallbearer, its a good life, a game of pool, last night as a jockey, old man in the cave, and many more are all better.
>>70336678
should be replying to >>70334852
>>70335112
I didn't mind either of the reboots that much, but they definitely weren't even close to the quality of the original.
Night Gallery/Original Trek/both outer limits series captures the feel of twilight zone better than the 80's or 00's series did
Can we pretend the outer limits didn't happen? That show could be legitimately terrifying.
>>70333772
There
are
Gremlins
on the plane!
give me a top 5 TZ episodes, I've never watched one and really wanna try it.
>>70336712
Come on, his facial reactions alone, and the creature on the wings, its costume, lost my shit watching it recently. Shatner overacted but in a very good way.
>>70336768
What about Tales from the Dark Side? :^)
>>70336816
will the real martian please stand up?
the masks
one more pallbearer

a game of pool
>>70333772
Third From the Sun never gets any love but I think it's great. The way that it's shot is so unnerving.
>>70335990
That episode is terrifying.
>>70336859
is that the one where the three men go to the planet where everyone's frozen? i love that episode.
>>70336892
No, it's the one where one of those guys works for the government during the Cold War and hears from the middle guy that it's all about to go down and they're all probably going to die. First guy and his friend start scheming for how the fuck they're going to get away but middle guy's got his eyes on them and knows they're up to something.
The whole thing is really creepy, it's very low-key. Nobody panics or makes it big fuss, everyone's quiet and on edge the whole time.
>>70337008
>The whole thing is really creepy, it's very low-key. Nobody panics or makes it big fuss, everyone's quiet and on edge the whole time.
i love episodes like that, like the silence.
>>70336816
I'd suggest these episodes or just start from the first episode of the series and work your way up, you won't regret it.
1. A Game of Pool - insightful, deep, makes me want to move out of my parents basement and get a life
2. Nightmare at 20,000 Feet - Shatner's acting alone
3. A Nice Place to Visit - colorful main character with colorful language
4. Time Enough at Last - hits you in the feels
5. The Eye of the Beholder - just all out nutiness
6. Living Doll - Telly Savalas losing his shit
>>70336816
An occurrence at owl creek bridge
one for the angels
the changing of the guard
nothing in the dark
shadow play>>70334176>which one had the best shock?
>>70337094
>Time Enough at Last
this one bugged me. niggas alone on the planet and can't find another pair of glasses?
>ctrl f
>no five characters in search of an exit
lmao
>>70335990
>And When the Sky Was Opened
I don't get the love for this episode. They all vanish, no reason given, no resolution, no nothing. Like so what? Why am I supposed to care?
>yfw its a cookbook
>>70336712
the 80s Lithgow version still has a cool creature.
And the music still gives me chills. And that shot of the Gremlin flying away is creepy too. fuck.
Serving Men is the GOAT episode and all other responses are just pleb reddit shit
>>70336816
Five Characters in Search of an Exit
The Monsters are Due on Maple Street
The Dummy
Walking Distance
I am the Night, Color Me Black
good mix of twist endings, morality lessons, and contemporary politics.
>>70337175
>five characters in search of an exit
5 mins too long syndrome upon rewatch, even though holding attention in one room with only four people is pretty GOAT
>>70337125
What's he gonna feel around on all fours till he finds a pair that are close to his prescription? Now that I think of it, were they trifocals or just reading glasses? They looked like coca cola bottle bottoms, so I'm gonna say he's legally blind without them.
>>70336816
"To Serve Man" is iconic as fuck.
Dont google it or read anything about it. Just watch it spoiler-free.
>>70337211
>Serving Men
it's, to serve man, you peasant
>>70337211
to serve men is one of the most overrated twilight zone episodes and the surest way to out someone who likes to pretend to like TZ despite only having seen less than 15 episodes.
>MUH COOKBOOK
the twist was incredibly obvious from the beginning. the martians look hilariously stupid. the writing isn't good, either. nothing particularly impressive about the acting or directing or shots. it's a very forgettable episode, if it weren't for le epic twist.
The one with the maniquin forgetting she's a maniquin
>I'm not lonely anymore...each day can now be lived with.
>>70337435
maaaarshaaaa
>>70337660
that ep was brutal
>>70337258
Is that even possible?
>>70337815
well i guess so if it's possible to have never seen a TZ episode.
>>70337660
>tfw no robot waifu and planet all to yourself
why in fuck's name can I not find any episodes of this on Youtube. They're all... "dramatic readings"? What the fuck is this shit? Some fucking autist nerd with a $15 logitech microphone reading the script instead of the original episode. For christ's sake.
>>70337008
i just watched the episode, it was really good and I did not see the plot twist coming. I did think it was odd that the guy and his wife slept in separate beds though.
>>70338020
because it's a classic show that is one of the greatest shows of all time, and CBS still holds the rights
It's all on netflix
>>70337244
>What's he gonna feel around on all fours till he finds a pair that are close to his prescription
better question. what the fuck else would he do? doesn't have to be exactly his scrip, just close. over time he could get closer and closer, certainly good enough to read. he literally has all the time in the world.
>>70338534
But he's an old man in the apocalypse. If he goes wandering around for glasses he will likely die before he can return to the library.
>>70334838
Why didn't you save her /tv/?
>>70338674
This ep might be more relevant today than when it aired.
It's /r9k/: the episode
The Rip Van Winkle Caper
Dudes get frozen with a lot of stolen gold. Wake up in future in the desert dying and killing each other for the gold. Last guy dies after finding a couple. Couple says gold has no value any more after they figured out how to manufacture it.

>Rod Serling will never be your father and walk you through the process of a dog having puppies
An Incident at Owl Creek Bridge
>>70338876
Goddamn that man talks like he's barely containing his urge to mass murder everyone.
>>70338876
>most of the letters were postmarked at the same time with the same handwriting
Oyyy veeeeeeyyyyy

SHUT IT DOWN
>>70338933
now I can't stop hearing the poe sound
your picture fucking broke something in my brain
>>70338048
>separate beds
Happens all the time in the Twilight Zone. Wasn't it part of the Hays Code?
>>70338876
lol he's claiming the twilight zone does not include social commentary. I suppose he expected the sponsor to be too unsophisticated to recognize it. Guess he was right.
>>70338674
>The Lonely
This episode hit me in the feels, saw it right now first time ever. I could picture half of /r9k/ going out the window at the end.
>>70333772
d-do you think i might be able to leave 4chan today, tv?
>>70338020
DAILY MOTION, search there, it's there, they're all there.
Caesar and Me
>>70339508
The Dummy was better. It was dark as fuck and had Uncle Ben from Spiderman: Cliff Robertson.
Caesar was light-hearted and goofy.
I Sing the Body Electric
>>70339369
yeahhhhbreh, watchin it now
One thats forgotten alot
>>70338674
I liked this one because it was emotional, instead of the usual twist ending or big reveal.
It also seemed advanced for the time. They had a robot that functioned to the point where it was indistinguishable from humans, then that poses the question of when is a robot smart enough to be considered human?
>>70339788
I've literally never seen this one but just from the picture I can tell you the twist, which is somewhat disappointing. Maybe it's more about the journey though, I don't know.
>>70340246
I wish I could have watched Twilight Zone when I was a child. I figured out the ending to every episode I've seen before ten minutes in. They can still be powerful but it's not the same.
Does anyone else get entertained and creeped out by even some of the worst of the black and white era Twilight Zone, but can't get into the color era ones at all?
If there's any good recent ones, let me know
>>70339611
I never even noticed that was him. Cool.
