YEAGER@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA (10/07/85)
From: Bill <Yeager@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA> I caught the new Twilight Zone program this Friday evening. I thought the three stories were excellent, and the best SF & F TV show since "The Lathe of Heaven." For those of you who missed this episode a very brief description of each story follows: (1) What would you do if the language you speak slowly changed for everyone but you? Did you feed you new encyclopedia today, and make sure you take your friend out for dinosaur... (2) A nice variation on the theme of dreaming and reality. Did I dream I was a butterfly or am I a butterfly dreaming I am a human? (3) The third was the weakest and longest of the three. It attempts to be somewhat "cosmic" and falls short here. Why would an alien hitch-hiking on the space shuttle want to hang around good old Earth anyhow? And, if you could leave and explore the Universe wound up in this creatures consciousness, would you go along for the trip or remain a research scientist at NASA. I personally prefer a good pint of ale. Bill PS>The most recent episode of Alfred Hitchcock presents was TOO predictable, and really rather dumb. -------
