A View through the Window. Night Visions 2001

S1, E3 aired in July of 2001. I remember watching it on TV. I have thought about this episode on occasion since then. If you have wisdom and discernment, then you understand that certain things are revealed to us through movies and tel-a-vision. They just can't help but show us things metaphorically or in an allegorical way. But the truth is usually distorted though, meaning darkness is called light and vice versa. Hollywood portraits satan as the hero and Yahweh as the adversary.

Army Major Ben Darnell (Bill Pullman) is called in to investigate why a house suddenly appears in the middle of an empty desert. The house is surrounded by what is appearently a transparent, impenetrable force-field. This house is also inhabited by a peaceful Amish-looking family who appearently cannot see, and are completely unaware of the rather large company of US soldiers surrounding and studying their house. Major Darnell tries desperately to communicate with this family, to find out who they are, how their house appeared in the middle of the empty desert, and why their house seems surrounded by an invisible one-way barrier. He also soon becomes fascinated, and eventually infatuated with a beautiful young woman (Janna Ballard) who is a member of the mysterious family. Major Darnell eventually manages to devise a way to communicate with the woman that he has become so captivated with. The episode culminates as Major Darnell finally perfects a method of crossing the invisible and impenetrable barrier, only to find that the "The View Through The Window" was not everything that it had seemed.
