Mirror Image (1960) – Twilight Zone TV Episode Review

Geno

By Geno McGahee

Millicent Barnes (Vera Miles) is stuck at a bus station and a lot of weird things begin to happen.  Everyone seems to know her and the ticket agent (Joseph Hamilton) is very frustrated with her.  He’s lucky his boss isn’t around.  The way that he treated Millicent should not be tolerated, but he’s probably paid minimum wage and is upset that all of his friends are retired and he still has to work and deal with bullshit all day.

Barnes tries to figure everything out, but can’t find any rational explanation.  She can’t speak to the ticket agent about it because he’ll just scream at her or give her dirty looks.  The girl in the bathroom that she met was too strange to talk to.   Thankfully, she meets another traveler, Paul (Martin Miner), and starts confiding in him about the situation.  At first, you can see that Paul was considering romance, but he’s not into crazy chicks.   I don’t know why.  Crazy chicks are great fun.

Paul walks his new gal pal to the bus and she totally freaks out and runs away.  There is a woman that looks identical to her sitting on the bus with a sinister smile.  They miss the bus and Millicent starts talking about different dimensions and how they come together and how we all have doubles.  It was great stuff.   Of course, Paul doesn’t take it seriously and that asshole at the ticket desk isn’t any help. He keeps trashing poor Millicent.

Millicent is taken away by the police to the asylum and Paul now relaxes and waits for the next bus, but he soon begins to encounter the same madness that Millicent received before.  

MIRROR IMAGE is a great episode and if you love stuff like the Mandela Effect, this is a great episode to watch. I highly recommend it!

Rating: 8/10
