The events of this series present a variety of occasional and sometimes tragic comedy events. It is a collection of various tales ranging from tragic to comedy which may be scary or vice versa. Most of the episodes within that series speak of unexpected ends and moral study in a world that seems completely different. It is that series that expresses a journey to a wondrous land, its borders are fantasy, and perhaps there will be strange things.
The episodes are still cut for commercial breaks (for foreign sales?) and run longer than the original's half hours, but strive to maintain a quality worthy of the name while so far not surpassing it.
So far, the new Twilight Zone is a little uneven, but so was the old one. It doesn't lack experimental energy or visual imagination; it just seems to be still developing its story voice.
Serling's formula doesn't have the freshness it did 60 years ago, and the creators of the new incarnation haven't quite figured out how to address that.
As for Nightmare at 30,000 Feet, it's a case of a competent TV thriller, but not a particularly memorable or unique one, with little to say about the human condition that isn't immediately obvious.
Not one of the four previewed episodes fully hits the mark established by the classic Serling series. They're too long, too slow to develop, and -- for the most part -- much too predictable.
