This story and episodes is one of my favorites. I think I might remember it for all time. Remember the restrictions of TV in that time period and how great you would have thought it was in its newly aired glory. I always liked to think that it was a pupil and victim of Count St. GERMAIN.
I agree with you. Predictable kinda, forgettable hell no. Written by a story telling Master. You write an entertaining piece of an almost immortal and bind human elements like sorrow and love into it and don't use offense or vulgarity, just murder. And limit the amount of time the network has let you have to tell the story. BTW no cussing or color or cgi either. So, I challenge TheHatReviews to do something better. You can use any modern needs necessary. Make the story better though. You have 30 minutes, ...go
With all do respect, i found this half hour of the storyline of rhe twilight Zone riveting, and eerie, at the same time, I give it four and half out of five stars
I actually like this one. I agree maybe the pacing could have been better in places, but I like stories about time travel, etc. This was a decent one, if not the best I've seen. Star Treks' "Requiem for Methuselah" was similar. The guest character there, Flint, was played by James Daly from TZ's "A Stop at Willoughby". It also occurred to me some of the problems with these shows like pacing, dialogue, character development, etc. might be at least partly due to the constraints of producing a weekly television show. The writers, like everyone else, don't have unlimited amounts of time. I imagine Serling himself could go through these episodes and find things he wished could have been done better if it weren't for production deadlines. Nonetheless, I am enjoying going through your reviews and appreciate your insights. Thank you for doing this.
Walter is 2000 years old give or take a few years. Civilizations then existed then were in the Middle East, Rome, India and China. North of Rome were the "Barbarians' obviously Walter isn't Indian or Asian. He doesn't come across as looking like an Arab, Persian or Jew of the period. Possibly part of the Roman empire. Then how did he end up in the USA with an American accent? I know it's because TZ is an American show with American actors, but I'm having a bit of fun. So Walter has no quarms of just abandoning women and marrying another to do the same again. It's a wonder he wasn't killed earlier by a scorned partner. Obviously he's unable to have children, or does he abandon them also? As you state it's a quiet forgettable episode. The premise sounds better than the actual story

Must be my all-time favorite episode! While this (clarinet I believe) in the musical score, is hauntingly nostalgic! _....Top Notch T-Zone!_
