A haunting , beautiful score. Going back in time to talk to a loved one, or even talking to yourself in the the past, brings up so many emotions, as so does this incredible score.Thank you Bernard Herrmann.

"... And perhaps then, too, there will flit across his mind a little errant wish, that a man might not have to become old -- never outgrow the parks and merry-go-rounds of his youth. And he’ll smile, then, too, because he’ll know that it is just an errant wish, some wisp of memory, not too important really -- some laughing ghosts that can cross a man’s mind ... that are a part ... of THE TWILIGHT ZONE.”

@waddyprocess This episode has, in some way, an opened ending, I mean Martin recognized that he has future and continue his life as adult or well as you said he decided to do something he liked. Whatever what happened, this episode deal with the "inner child" who rest in every man.

@seejay1001 remember when Martin's father tells him, "maybe there is cotton candy and band concerts where you're from. Maybe you're looking in the wrong places."

We are left to imagine what Martin did with that advice, but I think he went back home and changed his life. He found band concerts and had some cotton candy and realized it's not so bad. He quit his job and did something he loved. He escaped the dead-run he'd been in for years.

"No more cotton candy, no more band concerts. I only wanted to tell you that this is a wonderful time for you, now, here, this moment..." favorite episode and so it should deserve such an amazing score.

This is a MAGNIFICENT episode - thing is, the moment at the end where the ice cream vendor mentions it's "too late," which becomes a mantra of sorts repeated by the protagonist, kind of undoes the optimistic speech by the father about Sloane finding his own merry-go rounds. That's so defeatist that it becomes depressing - IF I'm interpreting it correctly. I'd like to think that Martin will be able to recapture at least SOME of his youthful spirit.

At any rate, Hermann's score is glorious.
