episode #090 - The Fugitive

Rod Serling categorizes “The Fugitive” as a mashup of sci-fi (“the improbable made possible”) and fantasy (“the impossible made probable”), and the story — of an alien king who’s trying to shirk his duties by posing as a sweet old man — is convoluted in a mythical, fantastical kind of way. How cool would it have been, as a little kid, to find out your friend was actually an alien with magic powers? The fact that little Jenny grows up to be Old Ben’s bride, though, is…unsettling.
