The Angel tries to make the woman happy by giving her lots of money, but in the end, of course she wants to go back to her old, silly life. The third episode was about a clumsy but charming woman who couldn’t keep a job if her life depended on it, and her 24-hour guardian angel, who isn’t so great himself. I give this episode a whopping 4.5 stars! I would highly recommend that you would watch this episode on a bad day, it has a very happy ending and theme, that I think will cheer you up. Still, the episode proved me wrong and ended very sweetly. This idea was only reinforced by the infinitely creepy salesman and his “create your own person” type product. From this point until near the end of the episode, I was convinced the twist would be that something terrible was going to happen. Luckily, they’re just so happens to be a company that makes robotic caretakers that are perfect for a lonely household! Of course the family heads over to check them out. Everyone misses the mother of the family very much. It’s about a single father struggling to raise three unhappy children. It was very touching and I found it very enjoyable to watch. This second episode was a bit of a contrast to the first one. I sing the Body Electric, by Ray Bradbury ![]() I’d love to hear some feedback of what you think. However I am still a little confused by the ending as well, and haven’t really been able to decide what it means. The episode ends with a twist that neither me nor my father predicted for once, so that was a nice surprise. It seems as if the ghost of the husband’s mother is malicious and trying to scare the wife off. Throughout the episode, certain strange things keep happening around the wife, such as a broken clock starting to work again, and a modern vacuum magically changing into a much older one. The wife, on the other hand, is the polar opposite, relieved she can finally have her husband all to herself. It becomes clear fairly quickly that the husband is still clinging to the house and the memory of his mother. A newlywed couple goes to the husband’s dead mother’s house to pack and get ready to sell it. We start off with a more Season One style episode. Which just so happen to be the literal last four episodes of The Twilight Zone: If you’d like to see full reviews of all the episodes I just mentioned, and more, just peruse past articles of Galactic Journey with The Twilight Zone in the title.Īlright, enough talk about episodes I’ve already reviewed let’s talk about the last four episodes. At least I don’t have to babysit the kid. There wasn’t really a message I got out of it other than “don’t spoil your kids,” which I assume was not the intended theme. It’s a Good Life also had an interesting setup, however from there it just went downhill for me. Perhaps I’m just a sucker for happy endings, but just having his glasses break seemed like a cheap cop-out rather than an actual twist. Time Enough had an interesting setup and conflict, however I didn’t like the ending at all. Finally, I would like to say something about Time Enough at Last and It’s a Good Life, because I know people are going to be asking about them. It was really terrible, in a “so bad it’s good” kind of way. Next I would like to honor The Mirror in its complete awfulness. Truly spectacular works that were the perfect balance of peculiar, creepy, and heartwarming. ![]() The first ones I would like to honor, of course, were the two recent five star rated episodes, Little Girl Lost and The Fugitive. Still, rather than focus on all the many mediocre episodes, I’d like to go back and appreciate the really stand-out episodes of The Twilight Zone. It was obvious that by the end, Serling was out of inspiration. It had a very good first season, and progressively got worse over time as Serling strained for more ideas. However, I believe its also time for it to go. I have very much enjoyed reviewing this series with my father, and I am very sad to see it go. ![]() However, unlike the previous seasons of The Twilight Zone, I hear this may be the last. That means the beginning of summer break, and with it the end of another season of The Twilight Zone. ![]() You hear that? That’s the last school bell ringing, signifying the end of the school year.
