"Spoiler Ahead" So are we to infer from "A World of his Own"....


that every episode of "The Twilight Zone" comes from the pen of Gregory West?

Perhaps we are to infer that Rod Serling came from Gregory West (and his tape recorder), and because Serling came to life, he had his own imagination and abilities, so he created the Twilight Zone. Then, after West destroyed the Serling tape, he had a change of heart and described Serling into the tape recorder again (as he had done with Mary over and over) so that Serling could come back to life and continue with the series.

Interesting. So do you think over the course of "The Twilight Zone" Serling was destroyed only to be brought back a number of times? As good as Serling could be he was ultimately a pretty uneven writer. If I was West I would certainly be tempted to burn up Serling's tape after I sat through "The Bard."
