That thumbnail 🙂 amazing Jen your expression is another belter 🙌

Dylan

It’s great to see you back reacting to more Twilight Zone Jen. This show is a blast and I know everyone is gonna love these reactions when they come to YouTube! 🔥

Ian

Loving this show so much , thankyou for making the decision to watch this Jen , every week we get something new and it's always a treat watching stuff I've never seen along with you , you're just the best 🔥💙

Dylan

Just wanted to say thanks for watching all these great shows as of late Jen. It’s been a blast watching them all with you! 🔥

Darryl Low

Yay! Time for more 5th Dimension awesomeness with Jen. Firing it up right now 😊

Rob Nichols

Back in the Zone! With two great episods.

Geoff S.

People in the 1950's really had no concept of distances in space. 655 million miles doesn't even get you to Saturn! One of the episodes next week is very iconic and one of the most talked about and even remade in the later series.

Rob Nichols

You're right about the set with the staircase, it was used in several episodes.

Drew

Great to watch these with you, Jen - the second episode was also my favorite of the two. Rod's WW2 experience in the Philippines influenced the first episode. Really looking forward to next week's Zone reactions - two of my favorite episodes from Season 1 (with one often rated as a top 10 best episode of the entire series).

The Irish Buddhist

Both episodes were good, I usually go for the sci-fi over war, but the story of ep 19 and having a familiar actor like Dick York from Bewitched in it made it just a little bit better imop.

Ian

Two good episodes but for me the second episode takes the cake this week . Part way through the first episode I predicted in my head what was going to happen and it did , something happens in the second episode that is an Indication something was up but can't say what cuz some people may be reading comments before watching and I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone . Great reactions as always Jen and much appreciated 👍

Gary Cameron

Great to see you reacting to TZ again, Jen! I think someone else mentioned that "The Purple Testament" was based in part on Serling's own WW2 experiences. I read up on his biography a bit and found that he really was a combat veteran and was much affected by what he saw.

Ian

We are powering through July so if you havnt yet added your monthly picks to Jen's wonderful request site www.jenmurrayxo.com head over there and add them , and upvote all you like ofc 👍

Chris Biebel

I think in the first one the Lieutenant was either resigned to fate or felt that with his death, he wouldn't have to see the light in other people. Really can't wait for next week's episodes!

KP

earlier today I was listening to a podcast with guest Anne Serling talking about her father on "Fun For All Ages" podcast with Frank Santopadre, if anyone is interested. Some talk about Rod's WWII experience.

KP

not the same as Purple Testament, but when I was a kid, maybe 6, I was at the park, and for some reason, I kept staring at this boy about the same age as me that night I had a dream that he was laying in a small white coffin filled with water about 3 or 4 months later, he drown in his family swimming pool on his birthday

TigerMyth

I'm surprised you haven't commented on the constant smoking. It really is interesting to see EVERYONE smoking. Sick and dying, light up. lol. Escaping a burning building, time to light up. I'm old enough to remember airlines with ashtrays and most businesses with people smoking but I'm sure your younger fans are surprised by everyone smoking. Heck even Rod has a cig in hand sometimes at the end.

Great reaction. As i understand it, you did not have a TZ reaction last week due to someone saying they thought you were neglecting Star Trek by doing these? So, these will be every other week now? Even though, Star Trek is way over represented (despite only a couple reactions to the original series, oddly enough). Well, I certainly hope this is not the case and you can visit Mr. Serling every week as you have been.

Ian

Last week not having any twilight zone had nothing to do with anyone complaining about trek , don't worry that was a one-off generally the TZ will continue to be two episodes per week 👍if anything changes I'm sure Jen will let people know

TigerMyth

Elegy is super crazy for the time because that old alien dude straight up murdered them. It gave me the same creepy vibes I got from one of the episodes of The Martian Chronicles mini series from the 70s.

balboa316

That's a relief. After Judgment Night there was a long time to return, and then last week after hearing her mention something about people saying new shows are making her not react to ST as much, and her denying it, rightfully so, it seemed TZ was the only show she didn't react to last week. I know she's primarily a ST fan, so I was curious if TZ would be the show that would keep getting delayed. But it seems she has a lot of support to continue TZ, and that's good news.

Thadman

The thing about the lieutenant in "The Purple Testament" was he only knew who was going to die. He didn't know how nor when, so he couldn't be sure of if his actions would cause the death or not. He was just resigned to it because no matter what he did, it would probably lead to the death.

Carlos Stevens

OMG... That's Dick York... a young Dick York. Before Bewitched.

Flames Cagney

This was at the height of the Cold War. Paranoia was running high. Also, we've seen many famous actors Martin Milner, Claude Akins....

Flames Cagney

thank you for taking in the music at the end. I find it nourishing.

Flames Cagney

Also, in the FEVER ? did you notice at the end: the machine gave him a dollar at the end?

Marcus Hicks

Wow, I'd actually forgotten how many of the truly classic episodes turned up in Season 1. Also, a more modern Twilight Zone series (early 2000's IIRC) did a really cool, modern interpretation of The Purple Testament.
