James Burke's connections. I remember watching that first time around. Might be worth going back and rewatching that. Must be nearly 40 years ago.
James Burke's son David was in my year at school. I lost track of how many times I stepped in when he was being bullied. Odd chap, was like a 50 year old man in a school boy's body. Top of every class except PE. Not in my group of friends but I hated to see him bullied just for being highly intelligent.

PS, now that you've seen them all, which is your favorite episode outside of the traditional "top 10 episodes" lists? http://www.ign.com/articles/the-top-10- ... e-episodes

Mine is one of the Beaumont classics: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0734645/
The Howling Man is a great choice, and definitely one of my favorites. Hmmm, I’d probably go with this one which had me deeply unsettled (the premise is terrifying):
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0734660/

Or this one which seems oddly appropriate for the MHF:
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0734676/

I’m familiar with Night Gallery, and no matter what anyone says, the “Big Surprise”’is fucking classic. I mean really, WTF?!? Hahahah

I can't make my heart stop beating by willing it and I can't make my intestines stop processing the food I ate. Ergo - no free will.

Me too, I've thus far been thoroughly unsuccessful at willing the sun not to rise and willing myself to be teleported to another earth-like planet elsewhere in the universe. Therefore free will must not exist.
You could not will the sun not to rise whether free will existed or not. It is outside the scope of your free will. Transporting someone to a corn field, teleporting, again all outside the realm of the scope of your free will. The free will I speak of is the free will to control your body. Your body cannot do these things. What do you think free will is?

Perhaps we're running with different definitions here.

Ah wait I think I see the problem.

With training, is it possible to hold our breath til we pass out? Perhaps.

With training is it possible to teleport, fly, will the sun not to rise? No, our bodies are simply not capable of this.
