- AnecdotesOne of only three episodes to feature the introductory line, "Submitted for your approval" during Rod Serling's opening narration, which is the phrase usually most associated with the show's monologues.
- GaffesWhen the helicopter is shown frozen in flight the blades are shown as a blur, the result of the rotor moving too fast to be caught by the camera's slower frame rate.

McNulty: [early draft; later revised] Say, uhm... You wouldn't be interested in having dinner, would ya?
Secretary: If the world as we know it was about to end, if you were its most prominent restauranteur, and if I weren't very happily married already, I *might* be. But it isn't, you aren't, and I am; so *drift*, McNulty.

Very satisfying and suitably ironic
In this episode, our anti-hero obtains a stopwatch that somehow has the ability to stop time. At first, it's a cute gimmick, but later, greed sets in and the man decides to use this watch to get rich. He decides he can rob banks and stores and no one will ever catch him because all this can be done in a blink of an eye. From the moment he stops the watch until he restarts it, time is frozen and he can do whatever he wants with impunity. Naturally, being The Twilight Zone, there is a major catch, as in the twist ending, everything comes for naught.
Aside from excellent writing, this episode excels because you can't help but wonder what you'd do if ever this impossible situation actually were to happen to you! Exciting and satisfying--give this one a watch.
