Isaac is a Keylon artificial life form. The captain called them "racist" because they consider themselves superior to humans, so the captain was wondering why Isaac accepted this assignment. Isaac said he took the job in order to learn more about humans, so he is basically the Data equivalent. Given that, I would anticipate him saving the ship through his scientific knowledge while at the same time not understanding human jokes, etc.
First, the obvious (and annoying) question: If this was all psychological, how does the Twilight Zone fit in? (After all, it is a magical place.)
Also, after waiting for him for years, why would she not make this realization until right after they get married? Wasn't this aspect of his character fairly obvious for a long time? (Or was she living in the Denial Zone?)
I agree about the immature helmsman, but as a big fan of both Star Trek and Seth MacFarlane, I will definitely be watching this regularly.
Lt. Decker flies into the zone whilst piloting a 1918 Nieuport 28 biplane (although, apparently, this particular plane was not actually flown by the Royal Flying Corps).
The formatting info is not the easiest to find, but I looked it up a while back:
Your URL link must include: http(s)://
Type URL as in this example: (URL)https://moviechat.org(/URL)
[b]Except[/b], the parentheses above should be brackets: [ ]
(If I had typed it with brackets in the example, it would have been a clickable URL.)
Basically, it begins with the code of what you want to do, and ends with slash/code to end it.
It's the same format with italics (i), bold (b), quote (quote), and spoiler (spoiler).
I would say like, not love. It's a great idea, although his personality is a bit annoying, and the ending is depressing.
I adore Buster Keaton as well. I think I would put "A Penny for your Thoughts" first, "A World of His Own" second, and "Once Upon a Time" third.
First, I should point out that when I ask undergraduate students how many have ever seen TZ, usually only a few raise their hands, which is depressing.
I show "#12" in my Communication and Gender class, and I've also shown it in my class on Identity and Diversity in Organizations. It's meant to illustrate the concept of hegemony. I did show "Eye of the Beholder" in gender class once, but I just find that one to be so slow in the classroom. (Trekkie alert: I also show "The Outcast" from [i]Star Trek: The Next Generation[/i] in gender class, which is an obvious choice.)
I have shown "Monsters...Maple St." in small group communication classes in the past.
Later this semester I'm planning to show "Walking Distance" in my fandom class to accompany a discussion on nostalgia.
Overall, most undergraduates seem to enjoy these. I encounter a big fan on occasion, but I do remember once, some years ago, a student saying that shows are boring if they're in black and white. Ugh.
Just because it's a cute line, or because of the double meaning?
Equally suited for late night: Alfred Hitchcock Presents/Hour; The Outer Limits [TOS]; One Step Beyond.
I've seen quite a few of them, although I still have a good many to watch. I first became a Vincent Price fan when I saw House of Wax. The Tingler is fun. I've also enjoyed Leave Her to Heaven, The Bat, and House on Haunted Hill.
To be fair, the girl was rather creepy. However, the actor played a more normal role as a teenager (dating Chip Douglas):

1) Static
2) The Lateness of the Hour
3) Long Distance Call
I don't know about the first half, but I could see him in the second half when he wants to get rid of her.
"Stopover in a Quiet Town"
There are several episodes in which people find themselves in strange places, but not upon waking up.
[quote]Gremlin (or does that not count?)[/quote]
I wasn't sure what a gremlin is (aside from the film of the same name), so I looked it up.
My Webster's defines a gremlin as "a cause of error or equipment malfunction (as in aircraft) conceived of as a small mischievous gnome." (That's a pretty good match about the aircraft and equipment malfunction, but a gnome? Really? I associate gnomes with garden gnomes.)
So, Webster's defines a gnome as "an ageless and often deformed dwarf of folklore who lives in the earth and usually guards treasure."
So apparently a gremlin is an ageless, deformed dwarf who lives in the earth, but sometimes comes out to mischievously cause aircraft equipment to malfunction. But is it an animal? Beats me. It walks on two legs, but then, some animals do that. (Of course, humans are animals, strictly speaking.)
I would count any animal that's alive (as opposed to stuffed, etc.). I would say that it's still an animal even if it has been materialized or acted upon by "magic." For example, if an animal had been turned into a human, or a human had been turned into an animal, I think it would still count because we saw it as a live animal at some point in the episode.
(It would appear that I have the power to determine the criteria since I asked the question so, what the heck, I'm going with that.)
I can't believe that I remembered the cat in "Valley of the Shadow" but forgot about Rolly!
There was a "dog" in "Elegy," but it was either dead or a prop (like the squirrel in "Stopover in a Quiet Town"). So I was actually thinking of live animals, although I didn't say so.
Well, I check in everyday, just to see.
1. Bunny Blake (Maggie McNamara) - Ring-A-Ding Girl" - For her personality.
2. Marilyn Cuberle (Collin Wilcox) - "Number 12 Looks Just Like You" - For her fight for individuality.
3. Miss Turner (June Dayton) - "A Penny for Your Thoughts" - Just cause she's nice.
4. Pat Carter (Patricia Breslin) - "Nick of Time"
Honorable mention to Claire Griswold - "Miniature" - who had no lines.
