Favorite Twilight Zone episode
What is your favorite episode, and why?

Rachel Robinson gave me the idea for this post. I am a fan of the old Twilight Zone show and consider Rod Serling a television visionary. I was fascinated how he used Science Fiction to present insight and commentary on modern day issues as racism, war, and religion. So, in Rod Serling's honor, I ask what is your favorite Twilight Zone episode, and why? For example, mine is "Walking Distance" (Season 1) where a gentleman travels back in time to when he was a boy and sees himself when he was 10 years old. He tries to talk to himself, but scares him to the point that he breaks his leg as a boy. He then feels it as an adult and walks with a limp afterward. He talks to his father (who realizes that he is from the future) and his father tells him he has to go back to his time and find happiness in his present-day life (and not to dwell on the past). Every time I watch the episode, I get emotional because I think we can all desire to turn back the clock and relive our past.
