Human Nature!!

Day 3 selection of twilight zone episodes has been the most interesting for me so far.  Every episode sort of had the same message about.  It seemed each episode focused on how the human race reacts under pressure, from “Number 12 Looks Just like You” in which everyone looks the same to meet society satisfaction of good looks to “Eye of the Beholder” in which a young lady would do anything to fit in with the norm of society.
Each episode showed flaws in humans in different variations.  Unlike the previous episodes we watched, the five videos that were shown today didn’t have any added features that are so fictional in which it wouldn’t happen in the real world.  For example, in Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, there were a gremlin and gremlins don’t exist and in it’s a Good Life, kids don’t have magical powers.   Each of the five episodes  “Eye of the Beholder”, “The Obsolete Man”, “Number 12 Looks Just Like You” ,“Cold War - historical context”, “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street”, “The Shelter”, can all easily take place in real life which is a sad look into reality.

  1. I think you're right to a point, but remember that actual aliens from another world started the mess on Maple street, and we can't yet instantly transform our bodiesn to eliminate disease and live a couple hundred years.
