right now is the BEST twilight zone episode...ever!
Submitted for your approval: "The Eye of the Beholder"
Writer/host Rod Serling created one of the show's most terrifying and unforgettable examinations of conformity. In an unspecified society, a troubled woman is so horrified by her "deformed" face and so desperate to look like everyone else that she undergoes a last-chance operation on her face to fix the freakishness that will have her sent to a reservation of outcasts. But when an unseen medical team is finished and the bandages are finally unwrapped, well...i won't spoil the ending. Suffice it to say, thought, that it's one of the most chillingly ironic conclusions in a series hailed for such things.
