Watched "Mirror Image" from Jaime's The Twilight Zone DVD set. About a young woman who encounters her counterpart on a parallel plane while waiting inside a lonely bus station, but she is not alone in more ways than one.

Also watched "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" from the same series. About a UFO that passes above a neighborhood and causes mob hysteria. A chilling metaphor for racial discrimination and prejudice. Everyone should watch this.

Alas, dialogue is never timeless. The series is peppered with 1950s idioms and words, nonetheless interesting reflections of the times, such as "No dice" and "kook".
