I enjoyed F13 and WoW too, but as is abundantly clear on this website, just because we enjoy something doesn't mean we can claim it as "good."

Hey! I liked Friday the 13th and War of the Worlds! "Crimetime After Primetime" was also the category in which CBS put Forever Knight in its first season. (Then the late-night talk-show wars happened, David Letterman got the CBS 11:30 weeknight slot, and Forever Knight moved to the USA Network, where I couldn't access it. Thank goodness the Canadian SF channel Space brought it back in reruns.)

Man, I loved that episode of the New Twilight Zone as a kid.

BTW: The novel “The Fermata,” already mentioned, is indeed sexually explicit but if that doesn’t deter you, it’s a masterpiece. The most original novel I’ve ever read, and it really delves deep. Highly recommended.

Hi there, I’m one of the filmmakers involved with SUSPENSION. Thanks for the review! Aside from the Twilight Zone episodes already mentioned, you can see some really cool time-stop scenes in the TV show “Heroes,” the movie “Constantine” (beautiful big-budget VFX) the end of “Buffalo 66″ (beautiful low-budget practical effects), and the kid’s movie “Clockstoppers.” And, of course, who can forget Zack Morris in “Saved By The Bell,” stopping time with a “time-out” hand signal in order to address the audience directly? The comedy “Click” has a couple time-stop sequences, but that movie is really about someone who fast-forwards parts of their life they want to avoid, with some interesting implications more profound then you’d expect in that movie.

The “New Twilight Zone” had a similar episode with a lady who could stop time. The kicker was that she stopped time while nuclear missiles- really cheesy nuclear missiles – were falling so she could not start time back up.

Actually, I just realized that USA Network has once again stolen a Crimetime After Primetime show… They explicitly stole Silk Stalking back in the early 90′s, but I just realized “Burn Notice” is almost the same plot as “The Exile”, the only show I know on American television to end once it had exhausted its premise (he cleared his name, the show stopped… unlike say “24″ which found new and implausible ways to add new 24 hour deadlines…)

Sorry, it is late and I am rambling. Seems mentioning low budget television from my college years makes my brain stop working.
