I remember that this was the first Twilight Zone episode I had seen and I was hooked. Monsters are due on Maple Street was my second episode I had seen.
Martina S Thank you kindly for your answer. I have already purchased the episode from Amazon.com. God Bless yo, Martina S. With great appreciation from Paul Leeson
I think the woman was seeing things. Hallucinating. When she told the man (the 1 that looked around her age for I don’t believe his name was mentioned) about seeing her doppelgänger, he was so intrigued by it that the hallucinations came to him to the point where HE began to hallucinate just like she did. The only sane person was the elderly man at the desk.
But if he was the most sane, then why was he so rude? No sorry, you do NOT behave the way he did, you do not bark and yell at someone while you're on the job or face of the company, you should know that and just admit that to yourself. Meanwhile, Paul got exactly as he deserved at the very end because he maliciously pushed her to the wolves-----I mean cops when she wasn't doing anything illegal or self-harming so what goes around comes around and that's why he got his comeuppance by not only his bus twice but what happened to Millicent happened to him as well and he had to chase [himself, his clone?] all over the city!
Actually you would be wrong on all counts. Beyond Belief Fact Or Fiction aside [that's another show similar to The Twilight Zone] this episode is the closest that The Twilight Zone came to being based on a true story. You see, what happened was when he was young, Rod Serling was traveling and he went to an airport and while wandering around he happened to bump into someone, not just anyone, it was another man who looked just like him, he had the exact same clothes on as him, and even had the same luggage as him! The Late Rod Serling was very vague on details but he let it be known that while meeting him things did get out of hand, only he knows how out of hand it got, but he can't tell us because he's dead so it is open to interpretation, meanwhile, The Late Rod Serling spent a good portion of his vacation writing and rewriting his encounter at the airport with his exact double and there you have it: MIRROR IMAGE
silvernail6 ya know what's weird? I remember this episode playing out differently, I remember a scene of her running and different time zones, dimensions catching up with her with paul calling after her... I've seen the episode at least three times... This time she got arrested and the guy was running? Maybe two realities really did merge...
