Enredo
Você sabia?
- CuriosidadesOne 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.
- Erros de gravaçãoWhen 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.
- Citações
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.

Sneaky Concept That Pays Off
Generally light-hearted entry, but with a jarring upshot. Erdman carries the half-hour as the irrepressible braggart, McNulty, who's always dispensing advice, want it or not. He always knows best, whatever the occasion, and it's a tribute to the actor's talent that he makes the character both humorous and not dislikable. McNulty's got nowhere to go after being fired from his job, and except for the gift of the stopwatch would end up an outcast, which ironically happens anyway.
The watch has a magical power to stop time and freeze everything in motion. Press the button again, and everything continues as though nothing happened. I'd never thought of that phenomenon, so right away I'm thinking what I'd do with that power. Anyway, it takes McNulty some time to figure out what he will do, but then there's that ironical upshot. I really liked the episode, though the latent humor is not typical of the series' appeal. But most of all, I'm wondering how they got all those people to freeze in motion while McNulty moves among them. Of course, digital wasn't available, so I'm still wondering. Anyway, kudos to that fine unsung actor Richard Erdman.
