"The Different Ones"
You could see it coming from Waaaaaay off, it was like watching a bullet come at you in slow motion.

sandra dee was a teenaged institution. her bubbly persona onscreen belied her life of hell offscreen. she was molested as a young child and a teenager and her marriage to the mack the knife singer was quite stormy.still, she was good as gold in technicolor. who can forget her star turns in a summer's place and portrait in black. i would mention imitation of life, but i have to be honest, juanita moore and susan kohner own that movie with their searing, heartfelt bravura performances which were both oscar nominated.yeah, sandra dee's transition to adult features were a little awkward. she was in time warp. she even wore hair in the same bouffant. it was like the 60's never ended for her. yes, virginia, sooner or later gidget has to grow up.hey, i forgot to mention that she was the best tammy in the tammy and the doctor movie. and she always had that gorgeous stick in the mud, john gavin by her side to lend emotional and romantic support. and when she wasn't being buoyed by the handsome gavin, she had that swarthy stunner john saxon protecting her. sexy john saxon always seemed a little dangerous. i swear, he's a bodice ripper if ever i saw one...lol.

The Different 0nes was cool, it was more funny than frighteng though. But, as a woman who has often been called ugly, I like to see ugly people get somewhere.The blond girl was in another ep of this, something about Tap Shoes but, I remember the blond lady.

In my opinion, the Different Ones was the best of the 3 in this particular show. It was a beautiful story about a father unconditional love for his grotiquely deformed son. The other two stories were not as good. The Different Ones is not one of my favorites being too short and rather preditable at the end but it was to me entertaining.

"The Different Ones" is pretty blah, ending is predictable from a mile away. Nothing really surprising there and has been done a million times before."Tell David" is weird in that the twist is told about halfway through, and the end is just formulaic. Nothing really interesting there."Logoda's Heads" just feels like a complete letdown. So much time spend on suspense and building up the drama and a simple, basic deus ex machina comes in to complete the tale. It just feels like so much more could have been done.

"THE DIFFERENT ONES"The legends and the evidence of the Hollywood Walk of Fame are all true.
The man did for television what George Washington did for America. Yes folks, Rod Serling was one of the finest writers ever to come out of the 21st century. Though you'd never know it in a million years watching this one. "The Different Ones" is another story that attempts to forsee the future, and sees a rather bleak one. There's a controlled police state surrounding the world we see and people
communicate by the standard TV phone monitors that we often saw in sci-fi stories that came out back then. There's some George Orwell beliefs about the nature of beauty, segregation and whatnot. But this one is especially disapointing considering it's source.

I gotta say, this director doesn't even seem to be trying to build any kind of suspense or
even some dramatic depth. Serling's script is a bit shallow, even for a five minute segment. Maybe it's a bit too condensed. But you know, I do think it's kinda cute that they actually edited archive footage of NASA into this episode.The actors are fairly good. No real standouts. It wouldn't matter either way. "The Diffterent Ones" doesn't give them a lot of legroom. Even if they had a Robert Altman cast, even the best of thespians can only do so much. Especially with so little.Even the God of the craft Marlon Brando himself wouldn't be Marlon Brando without the best work Hollywood ever concieved to work with.Here, the "Twilight Zone" Master-General recycles his theme from his infamous "Eye Of The Beholder." But some deeper proding into dear Victor's life, who he is and what he likes would have added some actual weight to this one. "The Different Ones" might have actually managed to actually managed to be one of those episodes that wasn't just... episodic. One that would stay with us, haunt us... forever. Remember when Will Shatner saw something strange of the wing of his airplane? Remember when Burgess Meredith
just wanted to read? Remember when Donna Doulgas found herself as a "freak by comparison" in a pig world?Remember... well, of course you do. When you saw that... well, how could you ever forget? Classics. Magnificent pieces, all. The memory's so vivid, such a haunting experience. Why, you'd swear on your life they all happened to you...Still, this one... while here Serling isn't going for immortality like he has before... But actually, it kind of leads to a sweet and simple little moving payoff. You can't help but smile. Just a little. And feel a little more hopeful...
