That's a really frightening interpretation.

Okay, I need to hunt that down.

I would actually really like to see a remake that incorporates something like that into the episode now.

I'd never really thought about the romantic angle of the "Nightmare" episode, but that's a great point. I, like Todd, just love the way the episode plays with the whole "Is he or isn't he insane?" trope.

I've only done it once, and I'm not a fan. Flew from Minnesota to California to visit relatives back when I was a teen. The flight out there was fine and completely uneventful and I was like, "Oh, okay, this isn't so bad."

That is such a creepy song.

Sounds good to me!

I was thinking the same thing.

That makes me smile. That's wonderful.

Yeah, him stumbling over his words didn't bother me, either-I figured that was part of his desperation, he was so determined to make things work out the way he wanted them to that he would likely stumble over his words in the process.

Excellent, spot on post. Indeed, you're right-even the creepier episodes of "The Twilight Zone" weren't so much about scaring people as they were just exploring a certain part of humanity and confronting people with it.

That's a good episode, yeah. And I know what you mean. People talk all the time about how interesting it would be to read other people's thoughts, but it's one of those things that sounds a lot better in theory than in practice. There are some things I think we're just not meant to delve too deeply into.

I love the episode, too. Klugman and Mumy play off each other well, and the whole thing of a father making the ultimate sacrifice for his son hits me right in the gut. The episode never fails to at least get me all teary-eyed, if not crying outright.

"Living Doll', "Night Call", and "The Masks" are a few lesser-known yet still great episodes that I can't wait to discuss.

I like "Come Wander with Me", personally, just 'cause it's such a weird story and that girl and the song give me the creeps.

The line that always gets me in that episode is the one where Klugman goes, "You're just a little boy." You think about how young all these men dying overseas were, and that makes it all the more poignant.

Agreed. I missed these reviews/discussions over the last few months.

Yeah, that had me scratching my head, too.

*Waves lighter*

Yeah. Big ol' blot for our side there, no question. Ugh.
