The name of the sci-fi a-genre makes a bad service for the wide range of stories that fit under the heading, the stories housed, from the imagination from Star Wars to the Philosophical Bent of Reichen ArrivalOr the warehouse of Ice pirates. However, there is a show that has created so many of the tropical science fiction stories on which the original text of the genre and single-handedly for generations of fans who can use Shorthand can be viewed to describe actions and characters. The twilight zoneThe 1959 debut is one of the most influential shows ever, and to this day, almost 70 years later, no show has almost corresponded to the standard of Black -White series.
The twilight zone is timeless
Rod Serling, the moderator of every episode, was also the creator of The twilight zoneAnd wrote an astonishing 92 episodes of the series, including āThe Monsters are in Maple Streetā, āThe Eye of the Pehleidersā and āMasksā, but it is proof of the permanent attraction of anthology series that every episode could be a favorite. After the introduction of Serling, the spectators will fall into the world of the episode, usually in the middle of history, and usually there is a final turn in the final moments, which refers to the entire episode. āFive characters in the search for an exitā from season 3 are a great example because there are five characters, a clown, a ballerina, hobo, army major and a bagpiper who is in a single place for the entire episode, but the way Serling could write the last twist hit than they would expect from the economical episode.
The twilight zone is filled with episodes that have become a staple food of pop culture, and that was before they were parodyed The Simpsons. āNightmare at 20,000 feetā William Shatner To be hit by a gremlin during a flight can be seen by people who have never seen the original. āTime enough finallyā tells the story of Henry Meis, who wants nothing more than sitting and reading his books, with a final turn that has become an iconic moment, and a final morality that is still relevant today.
Attempt to regain magic
Although The twilight zone Was a critical success and today it is considered a classic, the series had to defy itself several times from the cancellation and even the formats of 30-minute episodes to 60 minutes in season 4 and then for the fifth and last season to 30 to 30 years after the death of Rod Serling in 1975, the series was revived The twilight zone: the filmWith updated Reimagingins classic episodes directed by Steven Speilberg (āKick the Canā), Joe Dante (āItās a good lifeā). George Miller (āNightmare at 20,000 feetā) and an original segment, directed by John Landis. The filmās success led to CBS in 1985 the franchise launch on strong reviews. Soon thanks to the show, some of which are tinkering with the companyās scenes, the show fell apart.
The third attempt to capture Rod Serlingās magic was less successful. He made up on UPN and was held by Forrest Whitaker. Updated classic episodes with guest stars, which include Bill Mumy and Cloris Leachman, who are āstill a good lifeā and then a long list of recognizable stars from Sci-Fi and Processes, including Titus, including Titus, including Titus, including Titus, including Titus, and then, including Titus, including Titus, including Titus, including Titus, including Titus, including Titus, including Titus. Titus, including titus ,,, Michael ShanksWallace Langham, James Remar, Hill Harper, Robin Tunney and Amber Tamblyn, among many others. Although it is seen as a cult classic today, Whitkerās version only lasted one season.
Jordan Peele was the latest in 2019 to try to bring back The twilight zoneBut even its episodes could not be hit over the original 1959. Every revival is at least a good series, but compared to the show that has defined anthologies and is still short for dozens Sci-fi Episodes Every year it is easy to get too short. However, the first episode, āThe Comedianā with Kumail Nanjinai, hits all beats of a classic, original series history about a stand-up that realizes that he has power to wipe people with his jokes out of existence.
The twilight zone For decades, thanks to its simple but effective premise, the traps of sci-fi mixture with horror, imagination, drama and sometimes even comedy, without using striking special effects or a networked universe. Good storytelling, sharp dialogue and twist endings that reinforce the plot and do not simply exist to shock the audience are timeless columns of large stories, but modern writers tend to throw them aside for large setpies. The original is in black and white and almost 70 years old, but it is a classic for a certain reason, and if you look at the series today, you will find out how many of your favorite shows owe to the creative genius of Rod Serling.
