I'm halfway through "Adventures In The Screen Trade" By William Goldman (which I'm willing to bet has a thread on here) but it's so good I want to make it last, so I'm also into "The Twilight Zone: 19 Original Stories On The 50th Anniversary" (which are good so far) and "The Mammoth Book Of  Extreme Science Fiction" edited by Mike Ashley... both books of short stories that I can peck at when I feel the need.

And reading those two books, I keep thinking a couple of the stories so far (and I'm still early in both books) COULD be good Twilight Zone episodes.  And I realized also that the Netflix release-at-once model is perfect for a show like this (I mean, it's ALWAYS marathonning on SyFy on big holidays).  I might have mentioned before that I thought "Gattaca," "In Time," and "The Host" would be great stylistic models for what a new show should look like, cool and conservative like a sharp suit... if they did it this way the producers would be spoiled for choice, so many great stories to adapt, so many actors to get parts, fantastic voice actors for the narration and alien voices... it's such low-hanging fruit you gotta think someone who can actually do something with the property will think of it sooner or later.
