Another excellent episode of FDT. The violent opener reminded me of a noir I saw recently called Hangover Square. That also has a central character that has homicidal / memory issues and it has one of the most violent and shocking opening scenes I ever witnessed, just like this TZ story. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't already. Really enjoyed your rundown and had a few good chuckles along the way. I thank you for that, my friend. Awesome work as always!

Okay wow, ' Hangover Square' sounds like an absolute must watch, thanks Greg. Also, I really do appreciate the support man, you are true friend dude and it is much appreciated. Thank you.

Only seen a couple of Season 4 episodes and this wasn't one of them. The one I really remember was the Robert Duvall one with the dolls house. This looks like a good one. Exceptional video as always Anthony. Bravo

This is one of my favorite episodes. Probably top three. Walter's whole speech about why Alan exists and just what happened to him just hits me in the guts. And yeah...the opening, dang.

@FeverDreamlandTheater 6 ай бұрын

Agreed. I know some fans feel that section drags but I really enjoyed all of that talk. It filled in all the gaps in terms of what was going on but the discussion also took us into such interesting areas and even felt tragic. Thanks for the comment Melissa! Have a good weekend!

I had already seen plenty of Twilight Zone episodes from the other seasons, but Season 4 was the first one I ever got on DVD. I can understand the sort of black sheep reputation it has, but I loved marathoning this season back then and still think it has some real gems. In His Image is definitely one of them.

Hey wassup Adorkable! DVD was pretty much my first time really getting into season 4 as well. It was a good chunk of TZ I was totally unfamiliar with. Much thanks for watching!

Love the shoutout for physical media! I only have the complete DVD set though, sadly not the Blu-rays. Anyway, I have mixed feelings on Season 4. This was never one of my favorites from the hour shows but George Grizzard is much better here than he was in The Chaser. Pity about Charles Beaumont. Taken from us much too soon! Great video as always, man!

@@FeverDreamlandTheater Very curious to hear your thoughts on The Bard. I show that one to my students before we study Shakespeare. They love John Williams as Shakespeare and Burt Reynolds as Rocky but usually Jack Weston's acting ruins the experience for everyone.

Right. For the very reasons you mentioned in the video, I was really late to season 4. Just watched it for the first time last year. I went in having heard how bad it was. And yet, this episode was great. Really enjoyed it. So I really didn't understand the dislike of the season until about halfway through. As always, great episode with top-notch editing, trivia, and cutaways.

@FeverDreamlandTheater 6 ай бұрын

Hey Rob, yeah for me off the top of my head, I think the season 4 misses were The Bard, Mute, I Dream of Genie and Incredible World of Horace Ford....there were some others in there that are maybe just okay. I'd always heard the same about S4 being bad as well...so when I saw episodes such as this one, 'Death Ship', 'New Exhibit' and 'On Thursday we Leave for Home' it was such a pleasant surprise. Anyway, thanks as always for watching dude, have a good week ahead!

Hey Grumpy Old Wizard, good to hear from you & thanks for the kind words. I felt the same way about the religious imagery on my first watch. You think it is maybe going one way, then another...then it sort of pivots into a strange new place.

Thank you so much for doing these in-depth analysis. I for one think season 4 mimics the rest of the series some good some bad some mediocre. This in my opinion was one of the better ones. I am anxious to hear your commentary and analysis on the rest of season four keep up the good work.

Oh no prob, I love it, I just wish I could get them out faster. So far for season 4 I have 'I Dream of Genie' and 'Death Ship' covered. I'll likely make another poll with season 4 options and we'll see what everyone picks. Thanks socermomva! Be well!

I read the short story last year. It made me go back and revisit the episode. I remember not liking it originally (I think it had more to do with the the 1 hour format than the content). There is actually a lot of good episodes on season 4. On Thursday We Leave for Home is one of my favorites (I remember watching it on Scifi when I was a kid, but seem to remember they cut it down to 30 minutes).

@FeverDreamlandTheater 6 ай бұрын

Hey BlackSpineHorror! Yeah I hear you, this is one that confused me on a first watch, it also felt jarring in some spots. Then on repeat viewings it really grew on me. I'd be real curious to see that trimmed version you noted of 'On Thursday we Leave for Home' to see how it plays.

Never seen this episode but thevhook is quite intriguing. I love psychological, existential horror on the nature of the identity of the self and what it really means to be a person and an individual and if the "self" is a real thing that one creates or if the "self" is a piecemeal facsimile built up from the genes of your ancestors, which is way some of our personal mannerisms, likes and dislikes and quirks are similar or outright the same as those of parents, grandparents and great grandparents. What does it even mean to be human let alone to be a person?

@glenngriffon8032 6 ай бұрын

Incidentally, if you want to see a show that has a lot of that stuff i suggest an show called Nowhere Man. A reporter takes a photograph of people being hung and when he refuses to give up the photo's negatives his entire world flips. His closest friends don't know who he is, even his own mother doesn't know him.

@FeverDreamlandTheater 6 ай бұрын

Hey Glenn! Okay now that seems like something I have to check into, sounds like a fascinating watch. As to your point about existential horror / the nature of the identity...these types of stories resonate with me at such a deep level. Long after I've written these reviews and uploaded the vids, the tales still stick with me. When I get to hear from others such as yourself, it makes it all the better. Anyway, much thanks for the comments, have a great week ahead & be well!

@@FeverDreamlandTheater I've seen a playlist here on youtube that says it has the full series. I intend to get to it eventually because I haven't watched the show since I was a kid. Right now I'm going through a minor marathon of War of the Worlds (1988), based as a sequel to the 1950's movie except now with a lot of added body horror because the martians are also body snatchers.
