One second, you're crying in your car in 2023, and the next, you're trapped in a town that feels stuck in the 80's, and a guy named Eddie comes to your rescue. Lots of things are explored in this fic including time travel, parallel lives, interdimensional travel, sci-fi, fantasy, soulmates, etc. Lots of 80's nostalgia, and other ST characters will be introduced along the way. This fic is for those who want something a lil different---definitely not for everyone.
A/N: Brought to you by my collective love of Eddie Munson, Twilight Zone, Twin Peaks, and magic realism, I've had a few of the ideas shared in this story mulling in my head for a while. It should be an interesting ride, thank you for joining me. Also, I lost my tag list for this, and I know there were a couple of you, forgive me 🫶
The GREATEST PILOT EPISODE in TELEVISION HISTORY is on ME-TV tonight @ 12:35am est: “The place is here...the time is now...and the journey into the shadows that we’re about to watch could be our journey...” —Rod Serling’s opening narration to The Twilight Zone’s pilot episode, “Where is Everybody?,” October 2, 1959 (directed by Robert Stevens). In “Where is Everybody?,” an amnesiac played by Earl Holliman wanders through a strangely deserted town and decries, “I’ve looked and I haven’t seen anybody around...maybe they’re all asleep or something, but literally, there hasn’t been a soul,” Serling himself observing the sleeping giant that was America in the Cold War conformity of the Eisenhower Fifties? Holliman turns out to be an astronaut in training (torn from the day’s headlines, following the April ’59 naming of the Mercury Seven astronauts by NASA) who, following 484 hours in an isolation tank to prepare him for solo space travel to the moon (three years before JFK’s moon speech), cracked from loneliness and began to hallucinate what we, the audience, thought was the “reality” of the episode—the first Twilight Zone twist ending and still one of its metaphysically best, its narrative structure upending the tacit agreement between storyteller and audience that what you’re being shown is “real.” A true pilot episode (and the greatest in the history of television) in that it included virtually all the existential and surreal motifs that would become associated with The Twilight Zone—isolation, fear, confusion with mannequins, hallucinogenic delusions that seem all too real—“Where is Everybody?” is finally a harrowing visualization of one man’s alienation from reality, indeed from one’s self, which would prove to be the defining, existential crisis facing man in the second half of the 20th Century, a time when the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge—the atomic bomb—first coexisted. arlenschumer.com/twilight-zone #twilightzone #thetwilightzone #rodserling #tv #television #tvhistory #televisionhistory #arlenschumer @dgareps @nyadventureclub @adamschumer @richardsyrettstrangeplanet https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVBerZJAO5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Rules: list eight shows for your followers to get to know you better.
I was tagged by @st-eve-barnes. Thank you very much!
Twilight Zone - The original classic! Episodes like "To Serve Man", "Time Enough at Last" and "Eye of the Beholder" stand the test of time because they are sheer genius!
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Brilliant!! And Spike started my lifelong addiction to kinda bad guys who speak with accents and wear leather.
Penny Dreadful - Period horror costume drama. It checks all of my boxes.
Battlestar Galactica - 2004 Ohhh, this was so good!
Schitt's Creek - Catherine O'Hara
Babylon 5 - Dating myself a bit with this one. This space opera made my young self realize what a sci-fi nerd I am.
Loki - The God of Mischief will always have a place in my heart. I would kneel.
Kingdom - 2019 Netflix K drama. Period horror political drama. It sounds crazy, but it's a really good show.
That's my list. Tagging @blessedmar and @aemondx. Feel free to ignore.
Photos i took of my fav ride in the studios. Having time to look inside the store/building while waiting was great, because all the other times i’d been i didnt see the cool displays.
A thrilling anthology Inspired by its classic predecessors, Joe Ciminera’s “Tales from The Dark” features self contained stories of sci fi and fantasy with an unexpected twist. Enjoy this clip from the episode “Space Trip” where I contributed some voice work & you can follow the link below to see the full episode on Youtube.
What is life? Ion even know. Yeah I’m here. We here. Like that’s all I got. One day at a time. Still dodgin COVID. Let’s add MP to the list and the further demonization of the gay community which ain’t got nada to do with it. If you had chicken pox growing up then you know how this works. Groceries are at an all time high but no worries there a surplus of caucasity and performative privilege to last a life time. They servin in sandwich bags at the pharmacy I will never shame a street pharmacist again. But how y’all doin? You ain’t gotta be ok cause I can’t pretend. I guess it’s the weekend y’all 😬😂🤷🏾 #thefatBlackblock #fataesthetics #fatmodel #fatvibes #lgbtqia #queer #earthisghettoiwannaleave #whatislife #twilightzone #nonbinary#fatsummer #summertime #thekiingcurry #trans #testosterone #fatwords #bespokecurry #pnw #westcoast #losangeles #aplmodels https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg4ZR4Zrrk7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
