In "Two" (Season 3, episode 1), the beginning clearly states the signs are "... in English so that we may read them more easily..." So, when the female lead speaks Russian, it's an interesting choice. Are we, the audience, not to know it's Russian? Or is it intended to say Russian is adversarial to English even in that time / context? Gibberish could have worked just as well.

Hadn’t seen this posted on here but it’s an interview with Alan Sepinwall, Author of the much anticipated Serling biography out in October. Listening to the level of detail and all the amazing people he interviews for the book (Stephen Spielberg, David Chase, Vince Gilligan, Charlie Brooker, JJ Abrams, Ben Stiller, Guillermo Del Toro, Rob Mcelhenney, etc.) just got me so excited for it. Pre-ordered it immediately!

The author did an AMA on this subreddit recently too! Very cool.

I love the one where the criminal gets shot and goes to what he thinks is Heaven but it turns out to be hell.

Did anyone else feel Sandra took the news a little too easily? She just walks off like "oh well... off to find someone my age..." On the other hand, she only spent one night with Commander Douglas. I'm undecided on her.

Its year 2026, i am 21 year old man, creative man , and i dont get impressed quickly. Few days ago I began watching The Twilight zone by Rod Serling, because i am a fan of Beyond Belief: Fact or fiction. And i never been so impressed in my life. Themes, plots and stories are so timeless, perfectly landed, with masterful writing and sometimes with gut twisting storylines. I especially love the stories where mundane reality of mundane person is torn apart. For example Person or persons unknown, mirror image, a world of difference... What are your toughts on the show? And why you enjoy it, if you enjoy it.

I started watching Twilight Zone thanks to the New Years marathon. “22” is one of the first episodes I ever saw. I sat on the edge of my seat! Come on Rod Serling, scare me to death! It’s because of this episode my daughter refuses to sit in row 22 anywhere, especially on an airplane! Do you remember the first episode you watched?

The Sci-Fi channel annual marathon they did many years ago introduced me to this amazing show. And usually on this day, I watch a couple episodes (or a lot - depending on what we do on the holiday). Hope everyone can watch at least an episode or two today! And hope everyone has a fantastic Independence Day!

What is the aesthetic of mid/late 80s- early 90s sci-fi/horror/drama/fantasy anthology television?

... I know there are more shows:

-Tales from the Darkside
-Monsters
-New Alfred Hitchcock
-80s Twilight Zone
-Amazing Stories
-Ray Bradbury Theatre
-Tales from the Crypt

A bit broad, but all of these shows evoke a cool weird afternoon DAYTIME overcast eerie feeling; home alone while everyone is at work (like missing school as a kid) w/ good weird synth and background music... and although they were just tv shows all of these shows have a handful of masterpiece episodes that will creep you out.

This intro of TFD captures the weird creepy synth with the daytime nature clips

Just a heads up. The "ROD, WHITE AND BLUE" Marathon has started on Heroes and Icons.

Not just world events and politics but even day to day seeing everyone (including myself) with their challenges and life things going on. I could picture Rod Serling narrate something about many of our situations. Though I'm not always sure what he would say.

Like the title says - if you like "Twilight Zone", you should check out:
