Revisiting The Twilight Zone: S02 E27: The Mind and the Matter


Revisiting The Twilight Zone: S02 E27: The Mind and the Matter

An interesting concept that unfortunately comes across as a boring episode due mainly to the fact that there isn’t much to see, and the resultant story has nowhere to go.

The fact that our protagonist Archie Beechcroft finds a way to concentrate so hard that he can make every person in the world (or at least in his world) disappear is a trifle difficult to take on board. That he then becomes bored and eventually returns the world to its normal state is even more unconvincing. That he abandons any further use of his new-found power in order to improve his lot makes the least amount of sense at all. Sure it seems to be an okay idea, but it seems that it is left with too much to do and none of it achieved.

Rating: Just get rid of the idiots then! 3/5
