Three men in search of a new home, in a spaceship with little fuel, find themselves on an asteroid that just so happens to contain breathable air, the right amount of gravity, and even people. However, there is something slightly off about this place. That's where we pick up in this week's Twilight Zone episode, "Elegy." We'll talk about the unusual caretaker of this cemetery, Jeremy Wickwire, and his ultimate decision at the end of the episode; we'll talk about why people would want to be frozen for all eternity on an asteroid; and I'll give you my moment of awe. So, grab your keys, and let's open up this door to the fifth dimension and talk about "Elegy."

Not all heroes love having powers. Such is the case for Lieutenant Fitzgerald--Fitz for short, in this week's Twilight Zone episode "The Purple Testament." This is a story of a soldier with an odd gift--or, perhaps, curse. Fitz knows when death is coming for his fellow soldiers--he can literally see it on their faces. Captain Riker, played by Dick York, does all that he can to help the lieutenant, but it isn't long until he himself begins to don the glowing visage. I won't reveal here how the story ends; you'll either have to watch my plot summery or watch the episode itself. If it were up to me, I'd say, go watch the actual episode. Then, come back and join us as we break down this episode of the Twilight Zone. We'll talk about why Rod Serling invokes Shakespeare's Richard II; we'll dissect what the supernatural effect does for our reading of the episode; and I'll reveal to you my moment of awe.

Sometimes, in order to find our courage we must first experience our fear. This is the case for lieutenant Decker of the Royal Flying Corpse in this week's episode of The Twilight Zone: "The Last Flight." We're going to talk about whether or not Decker's superstitious event is the cause of his newfound courage; we'll talk about the French World War I ace pilot Georges Guynemer, and why he's mentioned in this episode; and I'll reveal to you my moment of awe.
