KOI: A Twilight Zone Analysis Show - Elegy - #20

Spoiler alert: We’re discussing important portions of this episode, so if you have not yet seen the episode, I encourage you to watch it first, and then come back and enjoy our analysis.

Three men in search of a new home, in a spaceship with little fuel, find themselves on an asteroid that just so happens to contain breathable air, the right amount of gravity, and even people. However, there is something slightly off about this place. That's where we pick up in this week's Twilight Zone episode, "Elegy." We'll talk about the unusual caretaker of this cemetery, Jeremy Wickwire, and his ultimate decision at the end of the episode; we'll talk about why people would want to be frozen for all eternity on an asteroid; and I'll give you my moment of awe. So, grab your keys, and let's open up this door to the fifth dimension and talk about "Elegy."

"correction:", 4:09, That is actor Richard Crenna from the film Honky Tonk, not Douglas Heyes. Heyes wrote the film. Thanks to ‪@sheldonwheaton881‬ for pointing this error out to me.

No show did a better job than The Twilight Zone at generating awe and wonder within its audience. It just so happens that awe is exactly what we need in these difficult, divisive times. So, join me, Joe Meyer, and let's walk through the fifth dimension with Rod Serling. Along the way, we'll discuss big questions and relate them back to our Twilight Zone episodes.
