Since he created it, is he its "God"? A God who likes to "play dice" with his creations. Do they have free will, or are they all (Aliens included) just puppets in his cosmic morality play? One episode upsets this theory (hint: tape recorder).

You win for most cryptic thread.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

The Twilight Zone can teach you many lessons, but it is not a place to go to seek answers. Many things are beyond explanation or rather, the explanation is "this just is."
Rod Serling is your guide into the Twilight Zone.

This thread is the first to have taken me to: The Twilight Zone!
Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

In the last ep. of S1, called “A World of His Own”, a man has the ability to describe things/ppl into his dictaphone and make them come to life in the real world.

"Rod, you shouldn't!"
interrupts Gregory, who walks over to his safe and pulls out a tape marked "Rod Serling".
"I mean, you shouldn't say such things as 'nonsense' and 'ridiculous'!" he continues as he throws the envelope into the fire.
"Well, that's the way it goes," observes Serling as he fades away.
Nevertheless, as Gregory joins Mary in a drink, Serling's voice comes in at the epilogue as usual.
”Leaving Mr. Gregory West—still shy, quiet, very happy... and apparently in complete control of The Twilight Zone.”
