This episode is a metaphor. We see the little boy grow up to be president of, oh, I don't know, pick a country. Surrounded by sycophants, who always dump praise on the man-child, and who betray their own morals and live in fear of saying the wrong thing lest the man-child use his power to bring down the wrath of the country's government on their heads. This is the current state of that country -- they are in The Twilight Zone.

This episode is one of the most celebrated, and influential, of the entire series. Its premise has been copied many times . . . The moral dilemma - Do we kill one person, in this case a child, to spare the lives of countless others? Remember that exercise from Psychology or Analysis class? : A train is hurtling down the tracks when the brakes fail. It is headed towards a group of 12 people, yet you could change its trajectory and aim it towards only 1 person - That person would be killed, yet you would save the lives of 12 others . . . What do you do? If you could travel back in time, and kill Adolf Hitler as a child . . . Would you do it? Classic moral quandaries. Child actor Bill Mumy is superb in his role. He went on to have quite a prolific career. Goodness, there are countless other shows, of this era and others, I would love to recommend for you . . . Again, I thank you for reacting to this amazing show.

Fun fact: this episode actually has a sequel. The Twilight Zone has been rebooted 3 times and in the series from the early 2000’s, there’s a follow up to this episode, “It’s Still a Good Life.” It even got the same actors who played Anthony and his mother back.
