Tonight’s ghost of Christmas Past was recommended to me by the TSL’s own editor-in-chief, Arleigh Sandoc. This episode of the Twilight Zone originally aired on December 20th, 1985. Based on a short story by Arthur C. Clarke, The Star features two men — one a scientist and one a priest — exploring the remains of a long dead alien civilization and discovering a connection to our own society.
And yes, it is a Christmas story.
Through the Shattered Lens 
And not just a Christmas story but one that brings up so many ideas that should have theologians and scientists debating it for centuries.

The 1980s version of “The Twilight Zone” produced some great episodes in its own right, such as the example above. I’m also very keen on “A Small Talent For War”.
