10/10
Harlan Ellison and Glynn Turman Turn In A Masterpiece
24 August 2021
Recognized Glynn Turman instantly in the 1985 episode of Twilight Zone, "Paladin of The Lost Hour". Always liked him, in a Sidney Poitier sorta way, you knew just by his demeanor he had a unique intelligence. Brilliant in The Wire too.

One more thing. The old man doesn't want to die because he's afraid, rather, he's afraid to leave his wife behind. Oh, she's already dead, but by leaving himself, there will be no one left to keep her memory alive. That is beautiful.

No wonder this episode's writing is so damn good, it was written by Harlan Ellison!

My first 10 / 10 ranked episode of the 1985 series so far.
