Twilight Zone/The Shadow

I actually clapped in delight when I found this one.

And oh man this is one of my favorite plots I legit have tried to write this several times (actors becoming the people they play or at least getting the memories/powers)

Nazi men weren’t the only ones getting people killed, Margo.

I like the argument of “are you the shadow?  Are you the shadow?”  Kent and Lamont interacting is fun.  (another reason why “Lamont Cranston is the Shadow” from the radio and movies is a copout.)

Ah yes.  Shiwan khan.  who I think showed up in one magazine story and the radio program based on that story and the movie (and it turns out the batman crossover; I looked it up to be sure)

“Come on in, Khan.  The water’s fine.”  DIALOGUE

Also “hit him with a cheaper vintage” LIKE YOU CAN’T AFFORD IT SHADOWMAN

“How many shadows does a shadow cast?”  I need to stop quoting all the dialogue.  IS GREAT

I don’t remember preston being one of the Shadows as I ranked the ones I’d heard by laugh

The answer is no.  it’s fictional.  Fair enough; can’t be using Orson Welles for this.

And there’s the Blue Coal commercial.  :)

LEAVE ME MY SAFETY BLANKET LADY

You have particularly good lines there

After reading the Spider story it’s so cool to hear the Shadow say “you can’t solve every problem with a gun” I am grinning

This is meta.  This is so meta.  This is the kind of self-interrogation that many people wouldn’t do and just.  (though what happened to preston I wanna know)

Though it’s kind of odd that you were talking to yourself and couldn’t make yourself understand, say, with a mind probe?

Also your literal shadow is talking to you

Right xinca was the tribe he’d befriended when he’d crash-landed and supposedly died

That doesn’t match the backstory I read, but then, it didn’t stay…consistent, let us say?

I thought I recognized the name.  good reference

(always good to be fighting the Nazis)

Aww that was good.  I’m glad I found this.

This is an interrogation/metanarrative of The Shadow.  Only instead of coming to a bad conclusion, the story renews its belief inhumanity, even though there are some humans with evil in their hearts.
