The Twilight Zone was an Earth television program created by Rod Serling (CBS, 1959-1964). Using the framework of science fiction and fantasy, Serling hosted every episode himself, telling speculative stories that explored the human condition and topics too sensitive for open public discourse.
Trip Tucker said T'Pol's story about her second foremother, T'Mir, sounded like something from The Twilight Zone. (ENT: "Carbon Creek")
