What's everybody's top 5 favorite twist endings on tz?

1- Time Enough at Last- I assumed this episode would have a happy ending. He was about to kill himself when he sees all the books from the remains of the library. He has all the books lined up and then his glasses break.

2-Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up- INSANE ending!

3- The Monsters are Due on Maple Street- Everybody on Maple Street going on a killing spree because they think one of them is an alien. Turns out it was two aliens controlling Maple Street on this hill.

4-The Masks- Another insane ending

5- The Fever- A slot machine that causes Franklin Gibbs death and self destruction.

Anybody else have a top 5 they want to share?

Okay I'm not good with titles but, I'll describe them.

1) Kojak with the doll. (I love it)...

2) William Shatner with the diner machine. (I love it too).

3) The one with the older lady on the bed with the graveyard. She's using the phone alot. (Great story).

4) The ventriloquist dummy. (Great story too )

I loved 'The Dummy' ending. Might I add, Frank Sutton looked a lot different on that episode then when he did Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. I guess its the hair.

fonzyfvr · 09-18-2002, 04:48 PM

I do believe that is the name of that episode. Will the real Martian please stand up, or the real alien. I think it is the first one though! I remember that episode. That was a goody! Can't wait to see the New Twilight Zone tonight!

I kind of drag explanations out, so I'm going to put down the description I have in an episode guide.

Offbeat entry about a pair of state troopers who must determine which member of a bus trip is, in reality, a Martian invader.

*SPOILER ENDING**************

The people on the bus trip are staying in this cafe until the bridge is approved. The driver didn't think the bridge looked all that safe.

The cast of characters are a cranky old man, a goofy man (people would think he was the martian by the way he acted) a young newly wed couple and another woman. I want to say the episode had another couple in it too.

Let me skip to the ending now.

The phone rings and approves the safety of the bridge, so the bus people get on their way and climb back in the bus. The bus didn't make it. Yet, the cranky old man makes his way back to the cafe. How can this be since the others in the bus died because of the bridge? It's because he isn't human.

The guy running the cafe is very surprised that the man is alive and wonders how he did survive. The man reveals his secret that his people sent him down to Earth to be a lookout, and that his people would soon be on their way. The cranky man also has a special little gift. He doesn't have 2 arms, he has 3. He can also make phones ring and juke boxes start playing music without touching either one. Then the guy running the cafe reveals his own little secret. He isn't human either. Off comes the 2nd guy's hat revealing an eye in the middle of his forehead. The 2nd guy starts laughing and saying the cranky man's people have been intercepted and its the 2nd guy's people coming down to earth.

I know I probably didn't describe it all that well, but maybe you can recognize the episode from a bit of the description.

Here's a link to a few screencaps from the episode: http://thetzsite.com/pages/pictures/stand.html
