 Anyone seen this? It’s from the last season of the rebooted X-Files (“The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat”), in which Mulder thinks he recalls a lost TZ episode with this title. Obviously the picture quality is off for it to be a real TZ; this looks like it was shot digitally rather than on film (or video-tape). Still rather enjoyable for Zone fans—a “mysterious lost episode”! It’s mostly taken from “Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?” with elements borrowed from “The Howling Man” and (in the Martian’s design) “To Serve Man.” Anyone detected any more tributes? At the end of the show, Mulder discovers it’s from a [fictional] TZ knockoff, but for the life of me I’m unable to understand this apparent twist? Is the hero the alien? The devilish barman? Both of them? Is the window really a mirror, as the bartender claims? There’s a lot more to this… If only Serling really had had this idea.  |

I guess this episode must have slipped right by me here Salzmank  but it does look like a good one from this scene you posted here    . Also the other possible tribute I see here was the mirror scene from the TZ episode - The Mind and the Matter . TZ Scene Pic from The Mind and the MatterThanks so much for your subject post  . |

Thanks, mszanadu! I really liked this one—I kinda wish it were a real episode, too. But, then, maybe it’s just the ‘mysterious lost episode’ aspect that appeals to me… And thanks for pointing me to the other episodes. |
