That being said, I have to go watch Miss Devlin unbutton her jacket a few more times.

Corey Stoll seems like a pretty decent Real Man, and knock on wood should have a few more decades in his career.

Oh, because Todd didn't bring it up in the review: If Senescu's wife looks a little like Sally Field to you, there's a reason for it.

That's where I first got to know him, which I'd annoyingly bring up whenever I saw him in an old movie.

If everything happened and he's not redeemed and yet he still doesn't remember the deal, it's interesting to think of his arrival in Hell.  He asks "Why am I here?", they tell him about all the people he ruined when he was a CEO, and he's all, "Wait, what?"

For me a small town in 2013 is a place where it sucks not to have a car.  Since I don't drive I'm not really about small towns myself.  As for small towns in the old days, I might have moved to one but even then it would be an adjustment, much for the reasons you talk about.

I'm not sure Senescu is really guilty of the murders.  He protests at the end that he was upstairs making tea when Ferguson was killed, and he was right.  In fact he wasn't in the basement when any of the murders happened.  Sure he's indirectly responsible, since his wife's death should have given him fair warning of…

"The Prediction", with Karloff himself as a music hall psychic who starts to get real visions, is pretty awesome too.

Man, I thought of Boris Karloff Thriller too.  It's definitely a moody horror piece above all else.  What's funny is that in Psycho Martin Balsam was a sort of abrasive antihero, someone who knew a little of what was going on and might have figured it out if SPOILER ALERT he didn't get killed first.  Sort of like the…

Gaines actually mentions "outer limits" at one point.  I thought it might be a shout-out, but Outer Limits the show was still a few months from premiering.

It's weird seeing a story like this which is so rife with borderline and outright sexual harassment, and yet the woman who's the target is fine with it.  The only one with a problem is the schlubby guy who can't get in on the action.  (Also, how did they know Ann's size?)

At this point I think Albertson was one of those characters you;d need to be pretty sharp-eyed to recognize.  He'd go on to win an Oscar for The Subject was Roses.

I thought The Parallel was pretty cool.  I liked the way Gaines' wife seemed kind of randy, and then when she actually kissed him she backed away as if she had stepped on a brain with bare feet.  It's just that it doesn't know how to end.

I liked Jack Albertson, but there wasn't enough of him.

World War 2 is more palatable.  More conducive to nostalgia.  There were some terrible battles to be sure, but there was more downtime between them.  You can imagine yourself - accent on "imagine" - coasting through and grooving to big band music.  Whereas if you know anything at all about World War 1 it appears as…

Yeah, time travelers on the TZ trying to affect history have shown a pretty wide pattern of ineptitude.  Kind of skews the metaphysical debate about whether it can be done.

Yeah, if you were a time-traveler and you really wanted to change the course of 20th century history, you might want to start by replacing the British and French heads of state from that time with people a tad less petty.  Being largely of Welsh extraction I'm a little embarrassed by David Lloyd George.

Ah, I should have guessed that someone else had noticed that.

Meredith absolutely runs with this episode.  He's exactly on the line between funny "evil" and scary Evil.  What I hadn't realized until tonight was that his performance as the Penguin on Batman was essentially just a redo of what he had done here.

Driscoll didn't seem to have put much thought into his attempts to change history.  When he gets to Hiroshima he claims that there's time to save thousands of people.  As soon as he's led out of the room, though, Fat Man drops and everything's incinerated, so maybe he should have got there a few hours earlier?   This…
