the twilight zone

having watched about 30 episodes of rod serling's masterpiece series at the intersection of horror, theatre, and science fiction (which many of us like to call speculative fiction) over the past month or so (thanks dvr technology), i've come to the conclusion that serling was one of the greatest genius writers of his time.

it's high time someone started making television like this again, and i don't mean rehashing the series as was done in the 80s. the original 60s series is the only one that's right.

there needs to be a new serling, a new voice pondering what ifs into the night, somewhere at the intersection of sleep and dream, at the intersection of reality and fantasy, at the intersection of day and night ... the twilight zone.

byt called something else and with modern pacing, but not obnoxious like so much modern tv rubbish!
