Revisiting The Twilight Zone: S1 E20: Elegy


Revisiting The Twilight Zone: S1 E20: Elegy

The theme of turning up in a town where there seems to be no one around is a recurring one in the Twilight Zone, but certainly here there is a bit levity over what is happening.

When three men land their craft on an asteroid due to a lack of fuel, they are surprised to find that it seems to have gravity and breathable air. As they search further, they are surprised to find places that seem to be set up scenes, deliberately fashioned, but the people they find are like statues, non-responsive and unmoving. Except one.

Although you will find yourself screaming at the three men from earth not to imbibe anything they are offered by the mysterious Wickwire (to no avail of course) this episode is reasonable enough, even if the explanation given for why the things are there and why it is necessary to maintain it is not really… acceptable.

Rating: I told you not to drink it! 3.5/5
