The Outer Limits - ZZZZZ

Before bees become a distant memory in this country, I have a curious desire to revisit this episode of the early Sixties' sci-fi exploration of human and non-human nature known as The Outer Limits — featuring Joanna Frank as the eerily captivating Regina, [SPOILER] a character whose poor grasp of human social norms sadly proves a fatal flaw. I think perhaps, having grown up with a light sort of autism, I see a bit of myself in her in that respect (minus the whole "species-advancing" agenda; I got no one to represent but me). Who knows. Anyway, IMDb/Hulu provides this with sponsors. They will control all that you see and hear.

The Twilight Zone: A Stop at Willoughby

Rod Serling's Twilight Zone is, quite simply, the greatest television show ever. Of course, looking at the televisual landscape today, it doesn't seem like there's much of a contest; nevertheless.... This is one of my top three favorite episodes. I still get emotional on Gart Williams' behalf. "Some people aren't built for competition, Janie."

Edit 2-24-2013: Cheers to IMDb and Hulu for this. Features limited commercials. Maybe it's just this operating system (Vista); maybe you have to open this post in its own window to see the embedded feature. Just click the title above.
