I shouldn't have been surprised by how good "Patterns" was. After loving nearly everything Rod Serling has ever written, how this totally pulled me in shouldn't have been unexpected. The acting is so fantastic, it was exciting to watch even though there was no action to be found. This is very tense and really had me understanding the internal tug-of-war that Fred Staples was having between a man he liked and respected and another man whom he detested but had the capacity to challenge and reward him. The ending was a twist and it was very satisfying. I did not expect things to turn out the way they did.
