  2. I watched the first three seasons of the original Twilight Zone run over the past year or so. When it hits it's the best TV has ever been, but there is a ton of inconsistent filler too, like any old TV show. Will definitely read Sepinwall's book at some point.

    Preordering a book i plan on getting a Kindle version of is a little weird. I don't see any benefit to that.

    I know a little bit about Serling's life story, and there is something to be said about horrific WW2 trauma producing some of the best science fictions genre writers of the latter 20th century. Serling (was an Army paratrooper in the brutal urban warfare of the Battle of Manila), Roddenberry (survived a B-17 crash that killed two of his crew), Vonnegut (POW who firsthand witnessed the bombing of Dresden), ect

    SH5 my favorite semi-autobiographical WW2 fiction.

    Also Factotum by Bukowski. Just the story of a dirtbag that purposely fails the recruitment medical exam and spends the war at home just getting drunk and hooking up with soldier's wives living it up.

    TIL that Sepinwall is credited with convincing NBC not to cancel Chuck.
