This
week, Craig watches helplessly as two different spaceship crews make emergency
landings and get themselves into all sorts of crazy unpredictable jams. Strap
yourselves in, kids, ‘cuz it’s gonna be one helluva bumpy ride when we launch the
Twilight Zone episodes “Elegy” and
“People are Alike All Over” into orbit simultaneously and see which one comes
back unscathed... and which one burns up on reentry. Along the way, Craig marvels
at the fashion choices of future astronauts and struggles with the
pronunciation of Liebfraumilch.

Hi Craig,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your very fine podcast and blog. You have a great sense of humor and your love for The Twilight Zone shines through. Your in-depth analysis is much appreciated. No reason to apologize for pointing out Star Trek connections, I think there is a good deal of TZ and ST crossover fandom. I loved Shatner's crazy rendition of Rocket Man to end the episode.
Jon
Thanks for the kind words, Jon!
