    shares a title with a 1961 Twilight Zone episode starring Leonard Nimoy.

    For better or worse, I’m not sure “starring” is quite the right description. Nimoy has like three lines and a couple minutes of screen time. I found it rather jarring to recognize Nimoy early in the episode and then see so little of him after.
