The 1985 version of The Twilight Zone started as a more adult show, and when CBS suddenly shifted it to an earlier time slot, it caused problems when adult content was shown in prime time. This led CBS to halt production on one episode mid-shoot, which was to be this writer's directorial debut (and likely resulted in him melting down through the core of the planet). This man got a special credit at the end of The Terminator after settling out of court on a lawsuit claiming that the film borrowed heavily from his stories "Soldier" and "Demon With a Glass Hand". Name this litigious, moody writer who wrote the classic Star Trek episode "The City on the Edge of Forever" and the short story of a vengeful computer "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream".
