  • favorite twilight zone ep?

    scifi channel is doing there twilight zone marathon, so I thought I'd ask what everybody's favorite ep is.

    So what is your favorite twilight zone ep?
    'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"
    G'Kar - from Babylon 5 episode "Z'ha'dum"

    Too many to chose form.

    Some classics:
    The original one, in which a man wanders an empty world.
    The librarian who survives the nuclear holocaust.
    The pioneer from 1847 who goes into the future.
    Agnes Moorehead as a woman attacked by miniature aliens.
    If you don't like reality, change it! me
    "Oh no! I am bested!" Drake
    "it is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong" Voltaire
    "Patriotism is a pernecious, psychopathic form of idiocy" George Bernard Shaw

      Some of my favs:

      The family that steals a spaceship to escape nuclear war, and arrives at Earth. They were aliens escaping to Earth not humans escaping from Earth!

      The fanatic that plans to reduce all evil people to 2 ft tall at 4 o'clock. When 4pm comes, he is reduced to 2 ft tall.

      the cuban dictator with a mirror that reveals who will plot to kill him. After killing off all his associates, he looks in the mirror and sees himself and so commits suicide.

      The guy who uses his friend's telekinetics powers to win at gambling. His friend fakes losing his powers so his friend will lose everything and return to the life he was meant for with the woman he loves.

      The cop that goes to a diner to find a Martian. The Martian meets the bartender only to learn that the bartender is an alien from Venus and the Venusians are going to colonize Earth not the Martians.

      They were so many great stories.

                I have to make one correction: the man was a bankteller I believe(which is why he ends up in the Bank vault), not a librarian.

                  You're probably right. I don't remember, GePap.
                  What I most clearly remember is the end, when all his books are in stacks.

                        What's your point, Houndhead?

                          No point, except the one on your head.

                          The Will Shatner episode is my favorite.
