Into the twilight,
By
This review is from: The Twilight Zone #2: Upgrade / Sensuous Cindy (Mass Market Paperback)
In this two story return to the twilight zone we have Upgrade, a story about a mother who wishes secretly that her family were just a little more refined, well sure enough she gets it and realizes maybe she didnt want that after all. While this story has great potential it falls just a bit short. It gets really old listening to her whine thats not my dog for the millionth time.
The second story Sensuous Cindy takes it up a notch with a really creepy tale of virtual reality gone wrong. Ben who is getting married is going celibate for a few months so someone takes pity on him and gives him the virtual game Sensuous Cindy. Cindy doesnt quite know when to stop though. Pat Cadigan's trip into the Twilight Zone is definitely worth a rainy day afternoon.

Good, but not the original,

This review is from: The Twilight Zone #2: Upgrade / Sensuous Cindy (Mass Market Paperback)
Having missed most all of the newest incarnation of the Twilight Zone on UPN, I've never seen these two episodes, so I can't comment on how true they are to the shows. I CAN say that they are two good stories, though obviously not the original TZ. For one thing, Rod Serling would never have talked on and on at the beginning of an episode to set it up. Yes, he spoke for about 30 seconds, but then it was over and into the show. The rambling introduction to "Upgrade" was unnecessary to me. Still, the story managed to pull you into it fairly well. "Sensuous Cindy" was ok. Neither story really had the punch of the original, and if this is any indication of the quality of the shows on the new series, it's easy to tell why it got cancelled so quickly. If you're a fan of the TZ and need a fix, this will do. If you're just getting into the series, try one of the Rod Serling originals first.
