The Twilight Zone (1985)

Season 1, Episode 37

A Small Talent for War

Air Date

Friday January 24, 1986

In the Security Council chamber of the United Nations, council representatives debate the arrival of an alien visitor. The USSR is deeply suspicious while the U.S. advocates trust. The emissary interrupts them by teleporting in. He explains that his race sped up evolution on thousands of planets two million years ago and have kept watch over the developing races since. However, the Earth has not progressed as fast as they hoped. Humans have "a small talent for war." The aliens find Earth's bickering over borders and Cold War stalemate disappointing, far short of the "better things" they bred them for. They plan to terminate the experiment on this planet. Within a day, their armada will arrive and exterminate all life on Earth. When the Soviet ambassador demands proof that they can do it, the emissary says cryptically, "keep watching the skies."
