I remember one Twilight show in which the daughter of an older couple wants
freedom but her parents want her to stay at home and be content with their
daughter. Their servants are all robots which her father created. It turns out
that the daughter is also a robot which he created because he couldn't have a
child of his own. The program ends with his reprogramming his daughter to
become a servant who is content with her lot in life. Profound, yes?
I only saw a couple of the older Outer Limits episodes. If I remember
correctly, old program frightened me and the new one isn't that exciting. I
loved Star Trek, though.

Dear Twilight Zoners,
All of the episodes you describe ring fond bells of recognition with me.
The
first Twilight Zone episode I saw frightened and moved me profoundly when I
was 8, and I haven't seen a rerun of it since. A little girl was killed,
hit
by a car, I think. A man in a suit was walking about. He was death. A very
old man convinced death to let her live but death said he had to take
someone, so the old man accepted that necessity and died of what I remember
as a stroke or heart attack or was he hit by the car instead? Of all days,
on the day we learned that Gustavo died, it's particularly sad to remember
that show.
You Trek fans may have noticed William Shatner, Captain Kirk, in 2 Twilight
Zone episodes. In one he was a man scared out of his wits of flying. On a
return plane ride with his wife, he thinks he is overcoming his phobia when
he notices a heary beast climbing toward him on the airplane's wing. Nobody
else sees it, so by the time the plane lands, he's lost his mind.
He is a man stopping with his wife at a diner in the other episode. He puts
a coin in a fortune telling machine. When he receives an enigmatic answer
to
his question on a little slip of paper that shoots out of the table top
machine, he puts another coin in and asks another question which leads to
another question and another until he is maniacally stuffing coins in to
the
machine, begging for change, bound to the machine and confounded by his
unanswerable questions.
I remember more tales but might be confusing some of them with Outer
Limits!
Keep the stories coming. They are fun and a welcome distraction.
Always with love,
Lissi
