I try to give a tidbit about what I think about the packaging with each of my reviews. The episode navigation for the whole series is painfully slow. Sometimes I think I'd be better off watching a whole disc at once ... nah, I'd rather savor this series. Careful taking a disc out for the first time! These things tend to be seated in the case FIRMLY! OK ...

Execution***1/2 : I'd never seen this ep before buying this set. It showcases a very convincing performance by Gilligans "The Professor" and by Joe Caswell (Al Sami). The ending surprised me a bit and thats a good thing.

The Hunt***** : I suppose there comes a time when our personnal favorites win out over TRUE perfection. I had read a review of this ep once and the writer thought it was "eh". That surprised me. There is no real climax here but the loving hand applied by the two leads in the cast are very endearing to me. I bought this disc for this ep alone, and wasn't let down by my memory of it.

"Salvador Ross"*** 1/2 : Some may say Twilight Zone is all about great writing, I don't agree. The acting performanace by the lead here is tremendous even though the story by the time this ep was made was old hat. I had also, never seen this ep either before this disc, I'm learning that there are many gems out there yet undiscovered.

No. 12 Looks Just Like You***** : This has always been one of my faves. I have it in the TZ laserdisc box set and have viewed it MANY times. Perhaps a bit idealistic, but the dialogue written here is some of the best EVER in TZ.

In a word ... buy/this.

I have a whole stack of episodes from this series.I wouldn't say every episode is brilliant,but some realy leave you thinking.Here is a good selection from the series.Makes me wonder at times where they got the ideas for these episodes.There is nothing quite like it on Tv these days,they rely too much on special effects rather than a good script and fine acting.The twists and turns to each episode keep you interested.
