Night Gallery - 3x02 - The Girl with the Hungry Eyes

    A model arrives at a photographer's studio, and gets some pictures done.  She becomes the model for a variety of products and campaigns, because of something about her eyes.  The photographer feels odd, because his success is riding on her, and she is very mysterious.  Plus, he suspects her of being a killer.
    I haven't watched much beyond the first season of Night Gallery.  I like the show, but I didn't like the length of each episode.  45 minute episodes aren't right for Serling's type of work.  When the episodes are about 23 minutes, there's an effort to push the show forward.  So, while the 3rd season isn't as popular with the purists, It seems like a good idea to me.
    And the episode is fairly fun.  It's a little predictable.  But it's good.  The model isn't quite compelling enough to believe that she's hypnotizing so many people, especially when the rest of her body isn't too noteworthy.
    The ending is a little silly, but it fits right into the story, and seems like the right way to do it.
