Original air date: February 10, 1964
Director: John Brahm
Writer: Joseph Stefano (story by Lou Morheim and Joseph Stefano)
Rating: 8/10
It’s basically a weird love triangle, with hints of homosexuality. And it’s really good. Like maybe the science fiction isn’t quite as fascinating as in the better episodes, but it’s entertaining, and interesting.
It’s also kind of an adaptation of Macbeth, which I am absolutely here for.
It’s a really great script from Stefano. It’s not quite elevated by the performances, which is disappointing, with Martin Landau in here, but it’s still good.
