William Sturka, a perfectly normal man in many respects: family, friends, a job. However, he's walking around with a big secret. Namely, a ware is coming, one that will ultimately mean the end of the species. All he can do is grab his loved ones and friends and make a mad-dash for a means of escape. In this week's episode of The Twilight Zone, we take a look at one of my favorite episodes: "Third from the Sun." It's a story that seems even more relevant today than, perhaps, even when Rod Serling introduced it in 1960. We'll talk about how informed/pessimistic Serling's audience was about atomic destruction at the time of the episode; we'll question whether or not Sturka's profession as a scientist alters the way we view his character; and I'll give you my moment of awe. So, grab your keys, and let's get this door to the fifth dimension open.

What if you could shapeshift and change your face to look however you want it to. What would you do with that power? If you're our protagonist in this week's Twilight Zone episode, Arch Hammer, you'd spend your time being petty, breaking hearts, and stealing from men who should probably not be trifled with. But, the Twilight Zone has a way of balancing itself out--as Mr. Hammer will learn all too late. In this episode of Key of Imagination, we're taking a deep look at the episode "The Four of us Are Dying." We'll discuss shapeshifting, plastic/cosmetic surgery, and deepfakes with AI. Additionally, I'll give my rating, and I'll reveal my moment of awe for this episode. So,

John Lyly famously said, "all is fair in love and war." However, we know that this is not true. War is a complex moral subject. As a paratrooper in World War II, Rod Serling knew this first hand. In this week's episode of Key of Imagination, we're taking a look at "Judgment Night." It's the story of a man damned, not for the war he brought to humans but for the war he brought upon humanity. We'll talk about whether or not torments can go too far; if the men aboard Lanser's submarine are also part of his recurring punishment; and we'll discuss our moments of awe.

Can dreams hurt us? No, I'm not talking about some Freddie Kruger stuff. I mean can nightmares cause our bodies to fail? In this week's episode of KOI: A Twilight Zone Show, we're talking about the episode "Perchance to Dream." It's the story of a man in crisis, desperately trying to stay awake, for if he goes to sleep, he will be face-to-face with Maya, the femme fatale. We'll talk about sleep, heart conditions, and what seems to me to be somewhat of a plot hole in the episode. Consider joining us on this journey through the Twilight Zone.

A classic Twilight Zone episode--Time Enough at Last stars the great Burgess Meredith. If there's a Twilight Zone hall of fame, Meredith is a first-ballot inductee. Most people have the image of Henry Bemis, his glasses lying in the rubble, with him repeating over and over, "it's not fair." But, is it? That's one of the questions we're going to pursue in this episode. We talk a bit about The Walking Dead, Godzilla, Shigeru Kayama, and why we seem to love apocalyptical/post-apocalyptic stories. We'll discuss these issues through Rod Serling's amazing Twilight Zone series. If you're interested in joining us on this journey, hit the subscribe button. There's always room for more.

If you were offered immortality, would you take it? In this week's episode of The Twilight Zone, Walter Bedecker is going to receive such an offer. In "Escape Clause," we are introduced to a man who is absolutely terrible--and I'm not talking about the Devil, who is also in the episode. Walter Bedecker is a horrible human being, but does he deserve this ending? Well, let's talk about it. We'll discuss immortality, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil from the Bible, the movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray, and whether or not we're more comfortable in misery than in happiness. Come on in and join us on this journey through the fifth dimension.
