Line 216:
* [[Pragmatic Adaptation]]: Episodes adapted from short stories were often massaged a bit. In Damon Knight's short story "To Serve Man" the alien representatives are described as looking like pigs. The producers thought the audience would find this too silly, so the alien makeup is the more conventional [[My Brain Is Big|tall-head]] variety.
* [[Prophetic Fallacy]]
* [[Reality Subtext]]: In "The Encounter", where a racist WWII veteran and a young Japanese man (played by [[George Takei]]) are trapped in an attic: Takei spent three years of his childhood in U.S. Japanese-American relocation centers, during the war. His impassioned performance is definitely informed by that experience.
* [[Reality Warper]]: Anthony Fremont in "It's a Good Life", and Gregory West in "A World of His Own", though the latter needs a dictation machine.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: "The Masks".
