. Also with all honesty
I would have never picked up
on some of these crossovers
that you mentioned here either
. I usually watch some
of the ones you mentioned here
around 100 times and still
would have never made
that connection until now
. Thanks so much Salzmank for some of
your movie recommendations of the ones
I have not seen here and for your reply
. As I noted on the other thread, I wonder if "Number 12..." were partly based on Huxley's Brave New World--but of course that hadn't been filmed at that point. (It still hasn't received a feature-film, big-budget adaptation as far as I know.)
I've read the first book of Scott Westerfield's Uglies series, and I can state with confidence that the book borrows (read: "steals"
) its entire premise from this episode (Mr. Westerfield's protestations to the contrary notwithstanding). It seems to me that "Black Leather Jackets" (5:18) was based on Brando's The Wild One (with aliens added, of course).
Also, not exactly what you're looking for, but a few connections between episodes: "Walking Distance" (1:5), "A Stop at Willoughby" (1:30), and "Of Late I Think of Cliffordville" (4:14) all have the same general theme--a man wishes to return to his hometown and experience his boyhood. Of all these, ironically, the first, "Walking Distance," seems to be the most mature, recognizing both the good and bad of nostalgia.
Also connected: "Where is Everybody?" (1:1), "Third from the Sun" (1:14), and "I Shot an Arrow into the Air" (1:15) (and Serling's script for Planet of the Apes)--same general set-up, same general twist ending--and "King Nine Will Not Return" (2:1), "The Arrival" (3:2), and "The Odyssey of Flight 33" (2:18)--same general aviation theme, probably suggested by Rod's pilot brother Robert.
