A really fantastic episode about a man who thinks he’ll die if he falls asleep. The episode is structured like a movie and the dreams are haunting and enchanting. It’s a superbly done episode with great directing and music. One of my favorites from the first season.

Highlights
– “Twelve o’clock noon. An ordinary scene, an ordinary city. Lunchtime for thousands of ordinary people. To most of them, this hour will be a rest, a pleasant break in the day’s routine. To most, but not all. To Edward Hall, time is an enemy, and the hour to come is a matter of life and death.”

– “They say a dream takes only a second or so, and yet in that second a man can live a lifetime. He can suffer and die, and who’s to say which is the greater reality: the one we know or the one in dreams, between heaven, the sky, the earth in the Twilight Zone.”
