 excellent episode
I thought that this was an excellent episode and it was I think the very first episode to feature a woman as the main star. It's really interesting to see a woman as the main character as clearly back in the 50s and 60s it wasn't so common to see this. I thought that the actress was very strong indeed.
just how important do you think it was for women to be getting these sort of roles back in the 50s and 60s? I remember reading that the original incarnation of Star Trek would have had Majel Barratt as the second in command but after the pilot viewers thought a woman should be so high ranking and the role was changed to Spock. this sort of prejudice doesn't seem to have been so commonplace on the twilight zone, why might that be?
I'm looking forward to more episodes with women in the lead roles.
