First seen during THE TWILIGHT ZONE's initial season, "Judgment Night" has everything: a script with a profound moral, uncanny direction (by John Brahm, director of some of the series' finest episodes) and photography, a bravura performance by Nehemiah Persoff, a moody musical score. And like so many of Rod Serling's most memorable episodes ("Walking Distance" and "A Stop at Willoughby" among them), "Judgment Night" seems to have been influenced by the author's own life - in this case, by his combat experiences in WWII and the trauma, complete with vivid and recurring nightmares, he suffered for the rest of his days.
If a TWILIGHT ZONE fan were asked to name the most famous of the series' titles, surely "To Serve Man" would be on the list. Like many more of Serling's most memorable episodes ("Time Enough at Last" and "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" among them), this one clearly reflects the anxieties of its era: specifically Cold War tensions and curiosity about mixed with fear of outer space. The stunning conclusion of "To Serve Man" is one of the most unforgettable examples in ZONE history of a "twist" ending; the episode's premise and conclusion, in fact, more than compensate for its lack of a strong, central performance such as Persoff gives in "Judgment Night."
