Thy Kingdom Come

Episode three is a good one, for a number of reasons. The first is that it has a good plot; but the second, and much more important reason, is that it's the episode that introduces us to Sylvia van Buren. Sylvia, played by Ann Robinson, was the heroine of the 1953 movie version of The War Of The Worlds. She fought against the aliens alongside the movie's hero, Clayton Forrester, and was something of a surrogate mother to poor little orphaned Harrison. Having acquired remarkable insight into the alien way of life, she became convinced that they were going to return one day, and was declared insane and committed. Hence she's quite useful to have around, if a little unpredictable.
