It looks like you can watch any of the first 3 seasons on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbs.com\/shows\/the_twilight_zone\/\">The Twilight Zone Video CBS.com<\/a> if you live in the USA. I may have to investigate some sort of fake us ip device to see these.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime I&#8217;ve been wandering round youtube. Watching the odd fragment and episode. I&#8217;ve watch a couple but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_pH0mwZ7yuU\">Five Characters in Search of an Exit<\/a> was the first to make me pay attention. <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Five_Characters_in_Search_of_an_Exit\">According to Wikipedia<\/a> the title at least is based on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Six_Characters_in_Search_of_an_Author\">Six Characters in Search of an Author<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/No_Exit\">No Exit<\/a> it has been a while since I saw 6 Characters or read No Exit, but the links, especially to No Exit are clear. <\/p>\n<p>I am beginning to get into the zone, but I found the exposition from <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rod_Serling\">Rod Serling<\/a> a bit much, great voice but I think this episode would be better without the explanation.<\/p>\n<p>On second watching I grabbed gifs as I went through. There is plenty of banging, ringing and the idea of repetition in the tale, I hope some of this comes over in the combi gif above. <\/p>\n<p>The gifs are all short, 7 frames. I combined them by importing them into fireworks.<\/p>\n<p>I am pretty sure there are a few good pun titles for this gif just beyond my grasp&#8230; <em>can&#8217;t get out of the zone<\/em>, sort of thing. <\/p>\n<p>After knitting together the gif above I though that two of the frames would work, here is the major begging Rod not to talk so much.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/106\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/please_rod.gif\" alt=\"please_rod\" width=\"486\" height=\"515\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-671\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I am wondering about redoing this one with Jim Groom in the Rod Serling position. <\/p>\n<p>I guess this is a <a href=\"http:\/\/assignments.ds106.us\/assignments\/multi-frame-gif-story\/\">Multi-Frame GIF Story<\/a> as well as a <a href=\"http:\/\/assignments.ds106.us\/assignments\/from-the-twilight-zone-and-beyond\/\">From the Twilight Zone, and Beyond \u2026<\/a> Assignment.<\/p>\n<p>I though the gif at the top looked better on a black background, so wrapped it in a paragraph:<br \/>\n&lt;p style=&quot;background:#000;padding:45px&quot;&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I am trying to get an idea of the twilight zone before the next round of DS106 starts.
