     @willmckinley Rod Sterling could compress an entire mood into a sentence. Few in this world have achieved his level of efficiency with words.

     @willmckinley Yep. Some people are just able to cut things to their essentials, and that was his art. And you could somehow explain the episode in a couple of sentences without losing its point.

     @roadriverrail The narrative economy of 30-minute episodes is a key component to its appeal for me. And Serling was the perfect guy for the job.
