"The Boy Who Predicted Earthquakes" finds young Clint Howard (that's right, Opie's little brother) playing little boy who has a gift. Once he becomes knowledgeable in a subject, he can see into the near future and predict what will happen. Soon he is exploited, having his own television show where over a hundred things he says comes true. One day he hesitates and asks to go home. If we all could have his compassion. A nice little episode with the usual network bad guys.
"The Hand of Borgus Weems" (Serling liked these odd names) features the handsome George Maharis as a man who has lost control of his right hand. It acts in such murderous ways that he asks it be amputated. Ray Milland, a surgeon, wants to call in a psychiatrist and Maharis insists he is sane. Finally, in desperation, he picks up a heavy statuette and crushes his hand, requiring it be taken off. Somehow the people he has chosen to assault have something in common and that is the gist of the story.
"Miss Lovecraft Sent Me" is not worth the two minutes it takes. A baby sitter, played by Sue Lyon (Lolita) chews gum and vapidly looks around a mansion, run be an obvious vampire. Unfortunately, nothing worthwhile happens. I know who H. P. Lovecraft was. What does the name have to do with anything.
"Phantom of What Opera" is equally lacking in anything fresh. We've seen this a hundred times. I guess the regular episodes just didn't fill up the whole hour.
