@Kenddrick ,

All at Once by a truly talented artist named Pete Yorn. Incredible song.

@Photonzos Well, if we didn't create wars than no one would die, but unfortunately the human race is incapable of living together in peace.

[Kenddrick]

wats the name of the song that plays when the dad walks away at the end

[Photonzos]

80% of all casualties of war are civilians and that includes children and babies.

Did the ghosts go and help the families of dead children. Bet not. Because there's room for both sentimentalism and hypocrisy in the Twilight Zone.

"Who is the real hero of this story? The father, or a troubled son? So, who is the real hero of this story? There's no need to choose. Because there's room for both."

Has to be the best line of all the modern Twilight Zone episodes!

"just because i dont have the words doesnt mean i dont have the feeling" i loved it when he said dat but is still imporant to talk to ur kids

[cipher2]

Ooooooooh a family episode, how creapy and twilighty (NOT). That faggy music at the end didn't help either, Rod Serling just turned a little bit.

[estategioiosa]

In my opinion the hero of this story is the mum/wife. She has a trouble maker son and an absent husband. she has got a lot of patience. poor woman.
