A very good beginning
9 September 2007 | by (Bradenton, Florida) – See all my reviews

This was the pilot episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE and lovers of the series should be thankful this episode came first, as it helped to sell the series to network bigwigs. While it is not the best episode they made, it is among the better ones, though because of the way this particular show was constructed it's not nearly as enjoyable to watch again and again, since the surprise ending is no longer a surprise.

Earl Holliman stars as a lonely astronaut who comes back to Earth and finds that everyone is gone. Much of the episode is spent with his running about town looking for someone...anyone so that he knows that he's not 100% alone. Holliman's acting and the direction of this episode are superb and it's one you must see at least once.
