It's worth it for the crazy Charleston dancing, but overall I like this one a lot. The best moment of the episode is when Templeton walks out of the bar and everyone from the past just stops. They obviously took no pleasure in treating him like that, but knew it was for the best.

I always raise a smile when Templeton comes back to the play and regains everyone's respect.

This one had a few moments i wasnt expecting, but overall it seemed a bit flat.

Rod looked very out of sorts at the begining though, must have been trying to quit smoking that day. He usually looked very cool and calm but some how in this intro he just seemed really awkward with no cigarette in his hand.

I really enjoyed this one. I'm a fan of the time travel episodes. How good did that speakeasy bar look? Made me hanker for a steak and beer. Loved the scene Tom mentioned were Templeton walks out and the bar just 'dies'
Good to see future director Sydney Pollack playing a, erm..director

Yep, really liked the message behind this one. Perfectly bittersweet.
