- TriviaThis episode takes place from April 28 to April 30, 1889.
- GoofsAlois Hitler makes numerous racist remarks about Jews and Gypsies and expresses the hope that Germany and Austria will one day be unified. The implication is that Adolf Hitler inherited these attitudes from his father. In reality, Hitler did not become exposed to racist rhetoric until he moved to Vienna to study art in 1907, four years after his father's death.

Forest Whitaker - Host: [closing narration] A moment of silence for Andrea Collins. She sacrificed her life for the good of mankind, but she also created the very monster she sought to destroy. History can never be changed. Not even in The Twilight Zone.

Featured review
It's okay.
Andrea travels back in time to kill baby Adolf Hitler...thus saving the lives of many millions in the 1930s and 40s. However, when she arrives, she oddly cannot bring herself to simply kill the child immediately and without hesitation and suffers pangs of conscience....which doesn't make a lot of sense considering she went to all the trouble of time traveling in the first place!!
This is only an okay episode of the series. There are several things I wasn't impressed by. First, they needed to do their homework better. The guy playing Adolf's daddy looked absolutely nothing like the real guy (who looked almost like Curly Howard with a huge mustache) AND they kept calling him 'Alois Hitler'...which was NOT his name. He was Alois Schicklgruber and Hitler was his mother's last name...mistakes that wouldn't have been made if they'd just done a bit more research. Second, the old "Twilight Zone" TV show already covered similar material twice. In "Judgment Night" a man is on a ship he KNOWS is going to be sunk by a sub...and try as he might he cannot change this. Then, in the next season in "Back There" a man cannot stop the assassination of Lincoln.
Overall, not a bad episode but one that falls apart a bit if you know history or watched the old shows.
