The Twilight Zone S05E34 Come Wonder With Me Part 3

[legoreviewerman]

What kind of song was that? "My baby's like a honey tree". LOL

2wards the beginning of the episode u see bonnie in the backgorund among the trees as a phantom. I wonder if the writer(s) are comparing ripping off folk tunes to seducing girls for sex. Great stuff.

I half expected his tombstone to read "I'M Floyd Burney".



[9teenAD2]

@snarkus63 I don't know why, but thats funny

[MARCUS13ization]

oh my god, its so scary when she says " dont go dont go" and then she turns evil with her black drobes!! Man, Iove how floyd trys to play " rock a billy " to save his life! lol, thats what that fool gets for trying to " SELL OUT" , man the whole episode is just creepy! I love it!! who cares what there intention was for the song she was singing! it was just used to provide a horrorifying sence of being in those dark woods! shit was classic! I love it!! cant help but to creep my self out!!

Also, excellent cinematography creepiness with the scenes of Mary Rachel in mourning garb in the very far background early in the episode and then her final transformation to blow Floyd's mind. He was thinking, "What the? What the heck did this middle eastern chick do with Mary Rachel?"

[BigJH37]

This episode does what so many TZ episodes did so well; leaves you with questions: Who were all the other musicians who came before... Burney's ancestors or Burney himself? Could he really have hid with Mary Rachel? What if he made it back to the T-Bird and blew a jet outta there? Or better yet, made it to the Ford, got his 9mm out of the glove compartment, and wasted the rest of the Rayford boys?

This episode had such potential to have been such a classic...it's too bad the writer's botched up this dismal plot. The best thing though is the famous catchy tune sung by Mary Rachel, otherwise this episode would be so forgetable

[BigJH37]

@ufo5440 ...No dice, Dad! This episode swings with some of the most way gone Rockabilly lingo ever aired on early TV. I first saw this in the 80's when I was a teenager and into the Pole Cats and Blasters, etc. I blew my top so sky high when I watched this that my pompadour landed back on my head backwards! As for the "catchy tune" it only swung when the rockabilly kid picked up the tempo in the recording... otherwise it's just a nowhere version of "Some Velvet Morning" by Lee Hazlewood.

[ufo5440]

@BigJH37 I think it has its moments, but I believe they were trying to make this episode into a mini-musical or something, which I give a A for creativity there, but the plot just doesn't follow through and leaves too many loop-holes you dig. In perspective, instead of asking all the "what if" questions I find myself asking more of the "how" and "why" questions for this episode. Too many how's and why's that it makes me not care about the what if's.

[ufo5440]

@BigJH37 But there is something that intrigues me more than music a little bit more in this episode and that'd be the creative thought of Mary playing the role of a possiblility that she is Death ,and what it's like for Death to fall in love with a mortal.

[BigJH37]

@ufo5440 I guess with as much TZ as I have watched, I have a tendency to let the "how" and "why" questions organically create logical solutions for me to allow me to move on to the bigger questions. My only real complaint about this episode is that the song they use to stitch it together needs some sort of chorus or refrain to mix up the melody. I know the idea was to be haunting via repetition, but jeez! That track would've never Gone Pop for Burney Floyd in 1964!

[BigJH37]

... perhaps if he waited 'til 1968 when everyone was too stoned to know any better and all music had gone to heck anyhow!

@supercoolbrian that's what i was thinking

[rachelbeverly31]

I remember watching it in 1990 when I was 5 with my beloved grandma and beloved mama and sister.

[Jquuest]

My baby's like a honey tree sweet as can be uh, now she don't go with other cats she only digs me!

[BigJH37]

@Jquuest ... yeah man! See ufo5440 this one can dig it too!
