Well at least it wasn't a cookbook.

"In your hearts, you long for peace" is probably the most true and tragic line ever written

This episode has one of the best twist endings of any episode of The Twilight Zone ever. It could easily have stood with some of the best episodes of the original series.

Just realized they'd truly never asked the alien ambassador what they wanted.
OOPS.

John Glover did an incredible job in this role. The glint in his eye, the smirk when he gets the treaty. His sass and ambiguous wording. What fun!

The aliens later changed their mind, so that ambassador walked around the city, was smitten with an attractive local lady, and returned home. A year later, Derek Zoolander was born.

I can't tell you the number of times I've entered a room and declared, "People of Earth, Attend my words!"

I love science fiction. I love horror. The two of them in this work of art is brilliant. Thank you to the writers.

Short, and to the point. If it were 25 minutes long, it would have been a shaggy dog story, but they did it in 8, which was the exact right amount of time needed. Excellent. I really like this one.

"...the nuclear balance of terror which precludes any real victory and we despair".
This line was the give away. Consider it's meaning carefully. He was looking for one side to be victors.
