Into The Twilight Zone!

Delayed start* due to sleeping in with The Jeopardy Room. In addition to never having seen this episode, it contains the only reference to amontillado that I've ever noticed outside of The Cask Thereof. In this instance, it was a bottle that had been drugged, and the guy drugging it was able to drink some without effect because he had built up an immunity (drug not fatal and predates The Princess Bride, so definitely not Iocaine powder, but potentially just as fictional).



*Technically, I started early by watching the 3 Christmasy eps on the 25th.

I Have Now Officially Seen Every Episode Of The Twilight Zone

Only watched 8 episodes today, half of which were new to me (including one with very pretty music: Come Wander with Me).

George Takei joined Shatner, Nimoy, and Doohan in the pre-Trek TZ role club in The Encounter, but the ending didn't quite work because the Twilight Zone shouldn't have been punishing Takei's character for his father's misdeeds. Like the racist murderer white guy totally deserved it, but Takei's character was already feeling guilty about something that wasn't his fault, so I'm not sure what they were going for?

The Brain Center at Whipple's was making me think of the recent Kerblam! episode of Doctor Who though as always, The Twilight Zone technically did it first.

Ended 2018 with the last episode to air in 1964, The Bewitchin' Pool
