A Dream of Armageddon (ESCP)

In dreams, a man visits the year 2200 and watches as civilization crumbles before the horrors of war.

When you want a great script, especially when you have a classic on your hands, there's nobody better than Les Crutchfield. The cautionary note about future war and the back-and-forth transference in this tale remind me a lot of the excellent Dimension X episode, Time and Time Again

In some ways the best part of this episode is the end sequence. The narrator is well and truly trapped in the horror of the future.
