- Quotes
[closing narration]
Narrator: Society is a fragile ecosystem. Razzle and dazzle people with the right lies and eventually they'll go blind to the madness right in front of their faces. Raff Hanks made a living selling the American dream. But, once sold, he created a true nightmare that he couldn't buy back. Especially not here... in the Twilight Zone.

John Cho is delightful to watch
While many have complained about how ham fisted the social commentary is, I'd like to talk about John Cho and how delightful it is to watch his character in this story. Recently I've seen him play a dad in Fox's short-lived Exorcist series and in the Wunderkind I saw those fatherly qualities as he played Oliver's campaign manager. He is so charismatic, warm and in general just good with kids. His performance is believable and I think the episode deserves a higher score.
