A workaholic named Martin Sloan (Gig Young) stops to get gas and stuff at a fuel station. He decides to go for a walk in his hometown to relive some childhood memories, hoping he can right the ship with his mental state. He heads for a chocolate soda at an old shop. He's surprised to learn the old attendant still runs the place. He pays the man, and explores his hometown. Martin is somehow transported back in time to his childhood, coming face to face with his young self, and his deceased parents. This is just riveting television. Maybe it's because I love anything to do that involves time traveling, but this episode entertained the hell out of me. I've been where Martin's at to a certain extent. Not to the emotional peaks he went, but I know how it feels to be stuck in a rut with where you're currently at. I felt Gig Young did a tremendous job as our emotionally fragile hero. As incredibly neat as this episode is, this episode has a big message that comes along with it. It's about how childhood is precious, and you shouldn't be so eager to grow up. Life is short, and you should always embrace it. Along the way we lose track of these ideals, and tend to stop focusing on the little things that make us happy. That's what I got out of this episode. It's a ton of fun, powerful, and it makes you think. A must see for Twilight Zone fans
