I can't believe I hadn't seen this on a top 30 favorite episodes list. I know there are so many fantastic episodes so I can see it doesn't have the impact of my other favorite episodes which I see on others lists. As I am making my way through Twilight Zone (this is the 100th ep I have watched so far) I initially picked ones that I'd heard of and now going through chronologically with the rest. Robert Redford shines in this episode, his presence as an actor just jumps off the screen. There are a few different types of twilight zone episodes and I tend to favor the tighter psychological episodes. I was feeling despondent after watching 'once upon a time' and then this left me shocked like I have before at Rod's mastery. It's funny how uneven this show can be and I mean no disrespect as it is one of my top 10 favorite shows of all time but if you were to introduce TZ with 'sounds & silences' or 'dust' as opposed to this episode, 'eye of the beholder' or 'the hitch hiker' or 'nightmare at 20,000 ft' etc you become more open to watching more. This is my first episode review and a worthy one at that.

I love the 9th season so much. Season 8 wasn't my favorite. Season 9 is a total return to form and everything that makes the show great! Leon is just fantastic and really I can't get enough of his interactions with Larry. He's never offended and just gets Larry. One of the best shows of all time.
