The Twilight Zone FAQ (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Dave Thompson | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

The Twilight Zone, a pioneering fantasy behemoth that bridged the cultural gap between the 1950s and 1960s with thought-provoking mystery, mind-boggling theorems and, occasionally, outright horror, is among the most beloved shows in American television history.
The Twilight Zone FAQ takes the reader back to that halcyon era, reflecting on the show and its impact as a force for societal change, via reflections on the manifold topics and controversies that the show took on -- from the space race to the Red Menace, from paranoia to madness and beyond. Dave Thompson traces the history of the show -- from its earliest flowering in the mind of then-unknown Rod Serling through its slow birth, shaky beginning and breathless five-season run -- and he shows how it became the blueprint for so much of the fantasy television that has followed.
Chapters deal with comic books, novels and many other spin-offs, including the movie, the TV revamps and even the amusement park ride. In addition, this FAQ offers a full guide to every episode, providing details on the cast and music and pinpointing both the best and worst of the series, all adding up to a brightly opinionated time machine that catapults the reader back to the true golden age of American television.
