First off,I love the original Twilight Zone and although I haven't seen every single episode of this series,I still think that it's the greatest TV series of the 20th century...hands down.
I liked this episode,but like the previous poster says the 'comeuppance' factor is kind of weak if Rod Serlings point of this is 'rich = evil'.Feathersmith does seem to have changed for the better after coming back from Cliffordville,and the role-reversal with Hecate was apt,but the new 'evil' Hecate was a bit too much,IMO.
But,the reason I'm writing this is that I thought I was IN the Twilight Zone when I first saw the episode!!! I was just channel-surfing one day and caught the very beginning of this show and saw the character named Deirich,played by John Anderson...and man, he looked EXACTLY like he did when he was on M*A*S*H and Star Trek:The Next Generation TV shows,playing as an OLD MAN on this episode.I've seen a lot of actors try to look old in parts when they are young or middle-aged and then look nothing like that when they actually do get old,but seeing Mr.Anderson look exactly like he did in the 1990's in a 1960's show freaked me out big time.
Heck,this situation could BE an episode on the Twilight Zone...I guess I have to see them all to be sure,but that was scary! 6 out of 10
