Twilight Zone \u2013 Complete Series Review \u2013 Season 5 Episode 35 \u2013 The Fear"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Charlotte Scott is a New York City fashion designer hiding out in the back country recovering from a nervous breakdown.\u00a0 State Trooper Robert Franklin shows up at the door of her out of the way but opulently appointed cabin to follow up on a report from some townspeople that Miss Scott had said she had seen strange lights in the sky.<\/p>\n<p>While being questioned by the officer Charlotte displays all the phrases and behaviors expected from a city snob when denigrating the country folk, she despises.\u00a0 Robert calls her out on this rudeness and is about to leave when suddenly a blinding light appears outside the cabin and forces him to leave her in the cabin while he investigates.\u00a0 When he returns, she apologizes for her rudeness and claims she is masking insecurity associated with her fear of the unknown after seeing the mysterious lights earlier.\u00a0 Robert accepts her apology and tells her he\u2019s pretty scared himself.\u00a0 He tells her he thinks that the lights are associated with a UFO.<\/p>\n<p>They discuss how to determine what is going on when suddenly Robert\u2019s car drives by with no one at the wheel.\u00a0 It ends up on its side and Robert determines that the car radio is dead.\u00a0 Now they retreat back into the cabin with the aim of holing up until morning when it will seem safe to leave.\u00a0 Charlotte hears noise on the roof but when Robert goes outside and climbs up, he doesn\u2019t see anything.\u00a0 But he discovers that his patrol car is back in its original position but with a set of fingerprints visible on the surface showing that the car had been moved back into position by being lifted by a giant\u2019s hand.\u00a0 Robert tells Charlotte that there was nothing on the roof but if it had wanted to it could have crushed the house flat.\u00a0 He approximates the giant as being about 500 feet tall.<\/p>\n<p>They sleep the rest of the night but in the morning, they decide to walk back to town.\u00a0 They come upon a foot print of gigantic proportions.\u00a0 While talking about the danger they face Charlotte panics and bolts down the path.\u00a0 When she reaches the clearing suddenly, she sees a one-eyed alien about 500 feet tall.\u00a0 She screams and Robert comes running up.\u00a0 He tells her to run away and he\u2019ll attempt to stop the alien with his service revolver.\u00a0 She refuses and says she\u2019ll stay with him.\u00a0 He fires several shots at the monster and suddenly the two humans are practically blown off their feet by a powerful wind.\u00a0 Eventually we see that the monster was actually a balloon and the wind was caused by the bullets puncturing and deflating the balloon.<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte is confused about how all this happened but Robert sees a small flying saucer on the ground nearby.\u00a0 Inside they see and hear the tiny space men radioing their home base for permission to flee the Earth before they are attacked by the giant humans.\u00a0 They report that their plan to frighten the humans with the phony giant alien and tricks with the car have failed because the humans are fearless.\u00a0 The space ship flies away.\u00a0 And Robert expresses sympathy for the aliens and hopes on the next world they land that they are the giants instead of Lilliputians.\u00a0 Charlotte worries about what will happen if the next aliens she encounters are real giants.\u00a0 Robert proudly tells her that he believes she\u2019ll spit in their eyes.<\/p>\n<p>This is a pretty silly episode but the characters are likable and the story moves right along.\u00a0 I think what I like about the story is that it reflects the conventional but very appealing scenario of the maiden in distress and the knight in shining armor willing to fight the dragon to protect her.\u00a0 And as opposed to the modern upended trope of the independent woman Charlotte is grateful to Robert for his valor and protection.\u00a0 Based on all that, this is a solid B episode.\u00a0 And Hazel Court who plays Charlotte is actually quite attractive, so, that\u2019s got to be worth at least half a point.\u00a0 B+.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatfinger.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7742\"
