Favourite "Twilight Zone" episode? [View All]

[ailsagirl]

I'll never forget, "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street."
That was a mind-blower. A must-see. I won't attempt to
summarize the plot because I won't do it justice.

Serling's closing narration:

The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and
explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts.
Attitudes. Prejudices. To be found only in the minds of men. For the
record, prejudices can kill, and suspicion can destroy, and the
thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its
own...

And another, "Third from the Sun"

Synopsis: Certain that a nuclear war is imminent, a scientist and a
pilot plot to steal an experimental spaceship and escape with their
families to a planet eleven million miles away. They are almost
stopped by a government agent, but manage to overpower him.
Once up in space, they wonder what their new home will be like --
from radio broadcasts, they know it is called Earth.

Serling was brilliant and is greatly missed.
