Twilight Zone Club - "One for the Angels"
Episode 2 - 3/1/07

On today's show, we discussed the episode "One for the Angels," whcih originally aired on October 9th, 1959.

We now have 16 subscribers! That is wonderful indeed. I'm hoping as time goes on and that the word about this podcast gets out, it will become a big source of enjoyment for Twilight Zone fans.

Next up will be "Mr. Denton on Doomsday." Below are the discussion questions:

• Did you like this episode? Why or why not?
• Did you feel sorry for Al Denton? Please explain.
• If you were a character in this episode, would you be picking on Al Denton or would you have wanted to break it up like Liz Smith did?
• Did you expect the episode to end the way it did? Were you happy with the ending?
• Do you think Al Denton would have remained sober and lived happily ever after with Liz Smith or do you think he would eventually go back to the bottle?

You can send answers to these questions via e-mail. Comments about the show, podcast, any of the episodes, insights, or other feedback can also be sent to me via e-mail.

We now have a voice mail number which you may call if you would like to give feedback using that method. That number is 206-350-2613. When you call in, I will play your message on the show. I would love to hear from you no matter which method you use. A more interactive podcast is a more interesting one.

"Where is Everybody?"

Hello everyone,

We are moving right along! We now have 12 subscribers, which is really awsome.

In this episode, I shared some books I have as part of my Twilight Zone collection. They are:

• "The Twilight Zone, the Original Stories" Edited by Martin Harry Greenburg, Richard Matheson, and Charlies G. Waugh
• "Twilight Zone Scripts & Stories" by George Clayton Johnson
• "The Twilight Zone Companion" by Marc Scott Zicree

There are other podcasts that I mentioned on the show. You can find links to those on the website under Sharon's Favorite Links."

Discussion questions for our next episode where we will be talking about "One for the Angels." are:

• Did you like this episode? Why or why not?
• What is your first impression of Mr. Bookman when you first see him?
• When Loou Bookman seemed to outsmart Death after they made their bargain, Death said that he would have to select another alternative since Bookman wouldn't go with him willingly. Why do you think Death chose Maggie? Do you think it was a random selection, or did Death have a reason for choosing her?
• Do you think Death meant to get caught up in Bookman's big pitch or do you think he had every intention to take Maggie at midnight?

Questions and notes for "Where is Everybody?" and "One for the Angels"

"Where is Everybody?" and "One for the Angels" Questions and Notes

As promised, here are the notes and questions for "Where is Everybody?"

• What was your take on the episode? Did you like it?
• As the episode progressed, we could see the main character (Ferris) becoming more agitated and upset. Did you thik he was justified in this?
• What did you think of the main character when you first saw him?
• At the end of the episode, we come to realize that Ferris actually is not in the ghost town but is, instead, confined to a box and monitored for 484 hours. This was a study to see how long he could stand to be alone for purposes of space travel. He "cracked" and his mind produced the dilusions. Do you think you could stand to be completely and totally alone for that amount of time?

Here are some questions for "One for the Angels" to think about.

• Did you like this episode? Why or why not?
• What is your first impression of Mr. Bookman when you first see him?
• When Loou Bookman seemed to outsmart Death after they made their bargain, Death said that he would have to select another alternative since Bookman wouldn't go with him willingly. Why do you think Death chose Maggie? Do you think it was a random selection, or did Death have a reason for choosing her?
• Do you think Death meant to get caught up in Bookman's big pitch or do you think he had every intention to take Maggie at midnight?

Twilight Zone Club - Introduction, 2/15/07

Twilight Zone Club
Introduction, 2/15/07

Hello everyone,

This is an introduction to my Twilight Zone Discussion Podcast. I am brand new at this whole thing, but I have enjoyed creating this introduction. I'm hoping this will take off quickly.

I felt the need for this podcast because I don't believe there is a podcast geared toward discussing "The Twilight Zone" episodes. However, there are many, many fans of this series and who probably enjoy discussing the show with other fans. This is the perfect place. Study questions and food for thought will be posted regularly to this blog. I welcome your answers and comments. My goal is for this podcast to be interactive where you, the listeners, will contribute so you won't always be subjectec to my opinions and answers all the time.:) Answers to the questions and comments can be e-mailed to me here.

If you wold like to be mentioned on the show, you can do the following:

• Subscribing to the podast and sending me a hello
• Answering the study questions
• Providing some insights and comments of your own about the episode we're discussing or about this podcast.

Some questions to consider that you may answer:

• How long have you been a Twilight Zone fan?
• What or who peaked your interest in the series? Please explain how you became a fan.
• What is your favorite Twilight Zone episode and why?
• What is your least favorite Twilight Zone episode and why?
• Which Twilight Zone episode creeped you out the most? Please explain.

In our next episode, we'll discuss the premiere epsisode entitled "Where is Everybody?" We'll begin with the first season and work out way in order to the end. There will be a lot to discuss, as there are five seasons in this series. Once we're done with that, we might feel inclined to discuss the remakes of this series, although there's nothing that compares with these classic episodes.

I will try to get the podcast out each week.
