"While there are men, there can be no peace"

This week, we're covering Season 1, Episode 20: Elegy. This one's a mixed bag, featuring a suspenseful and creepy first half followed by a frankly ridiculous conclusion. Digressions include: the phenomenon of actors trying to stand still on the Twilight Zone, whimsical old men in midcentury media, and how we'd like our bodies posed in a taxidermy-wish-fulfillment-cemetery situation.
