Season 1 Disc 4
2 episodes I've never seen before including one with an immortal except he's not so much immortal as that he never ages cuz he totally dies from a puny bullet (and not even in the head).
And the Twilight Zone-y twist of "People Are Alike All Over" is that rather than being reassuring as it's meant by the character who says it, it is in fact the scariest fucking thing ever because have you met people? I mean getting put in a zoo isn't even that bad compared to some of the fucked up things human beings do to each other.
3 more episodes I haven't seen and what seems like a lot of episodes scored by Jerry Goldsmith, but maybe that's just because I'm more likely to notice his name.
Onwards to Disc 5!
2 unseen episodes including one with an elaborate set up of the guy has no reflection (he's not a vampire, but he thinks he's dead) in the mirror only to have him have a reflection in a glass window in the same scene. They make up for it later with an epic shot framing (I'm sure there's a technical film term for it but hell if I know) where as this other guy reveals that he's the Angel Gabriel (no not that one) and the shot is like just so he's standing under this circular lamp like a halo, and it was really cool (or I'm just easily impressed, whichever).
"Mr. Beavis" is the first episode with an alternate intro (ie not the one in my icon that I also used for a calligraphy project), and Rod Serling uses the word discombooberated in the narration which I assume is related to discombobulated?
The Hoboken Zephyrs: Robot Pitchers don't pump gas.
The Winter Warlock! (aka Keenan Wynn)
And finally two episodes of Season 2, neither of which I'd seen before.
I'll most likely watch more tomorrow since Iowa doesn't really do Mummers, but I also have calligraphy homework to get done, so I won't be as marathony.
