Masters of Horror finally produced a show based on one of my favorite short stories by one of my favorite authors, Alice Sheldon aka James Tiptree, Jr..  It's the classic tale of science versus religion, reason versus faith, and man versus - well, you'll see.

The original story is told as a series of letters exchanged between a biologist and his wife:

"We discussed the book, how man must purify himself and show God a clean world. He said some people raise the question of how can man reproduce without women but such people miss the point. The point is that as long as man depends on the old filthy animal way God won't help him. When man gets rid of his animal part which is woman, this is the signal God is awaiting. Then God will reveal the new true clean way, maybe angels will come bringing new souls, or maybe we will live forever, but it is not our place to speculate, only to obey. He said some men here had seen an Angel of the Lord. This was very deep, it seemed like it echoed inside me, I felt it was inspiration."
