 | | The development and execution of The Twilight Zone, and its induction into the annals of TV history, is a story of an obsessive need for acceptance, on many levels. |
 | | The Twilight Zone’s popularity preys upon his endless reservoir of ideas, originally inspired by his obsession with the past and his preoccupation with aging, mixed in with a measure of courage and faith, and the survival techniques he learned in the army. |
 | | In the end, however, Serling himself dies, young, at 50-years-old, never reaching the twilight of his years, though not before he explores, unobtrusively, the senior mentality, and other untapped areas of legitimate topics of conversation, with several, very-real trips into The Twilight Zone. |
