Elegy

Rod Serling liked astronauts and asteroids. This is another one of those "Where am I?" episodes. In this one a group of men find themselves in an odd town, where there are plenty of people, but they are frozen in time. They don't respond. As the astronauts move through space, they find more and more "normal" looking folks not moving. Once again it's about confusion and despair. Eventually they meet what seems like a living man who treats them kindly and asks them questions like how they would like to be remembered. We can't help but think of the first episode "Where Is Everybody?" The strange man is more and less than he seems and we know that we are in for a strange conclusion. I have to say that there is a sameness in some of these first season episodes that show a little lack of imagination. Still, it's a really interesting premise.
