Mysterious Towns

Entering the Fifth Dimension: A Twilight Zone Podcast

This month we look at two episodes which share the common theme of time being unnaturally halted and the moral quandaries that such power presents. In "Elegy," three astronauts become stranded on an asteroid which shares characteristics similar to earth Earth. Soon they discover people frozen in time, evoking themes of time suspension and existential anxiety. Similarly, "Still Valley" follows a Confederate soldier discovering a village frozen by a mysterious spell, presenting him with moral dilemmas regarding the use of this power to assist the Confederacy. We had differing opinions on the themes and moral viewpoints of these episodes, which bled into an interesting Whipples segment.
