I own a book entitled, "The Twilight Zone Companion". It's a great and thorough book, where the author examines each and every episode. In relating to this particular episode, the author wrote that the actor who plays "Rocky Valentine' was miscast, and over acted the role to a point of being a B movie gangster. I respectfully have to disagree. I think "both" actors played their roles perfectly. I also think that this is one of those underrated episodes which gets less than it deserves. The very end, where "Pip" laughs demonically over Valentine's horrific revelation, was chilling. One of my all-time favorites.

Great episode, one of the better ones IMO. I think an important factor is mentally accepting your fate, and Valentine probably cannot do that. He'll instead go mad. Someone else in his shoes may be like ok, well this certainly beats that "burning in hellfire forever" thing I've always heard about. Even if he just relaxes, enjoys the women, etc., there's much worse ways to spend eternity. I'm curious to see what else there is in his "world," places to explore, maybe even finding some secrets.

That maniacal laugh at the end by his Guardian “Angel” sent shivers down my spine whenever I watched this episode as a kid. And I would get this overwhelming sense of dread and of being trapped.

Thing is, is that you gotta remember, Rocky wasn't that smart to begin with, when he realized he was dead, he went "So I'm in heaven!!" and Pip had a curious look on his face like "Okay, I'm gonna play along, see how long it takes him to click on" and it doesn't until the end when he gets sick of the same girls, the same drinks, same food, same winning on gambling etc and Pip just looks at him and sternly says "WHAT made you THINK this was heaven, Mr Valentine? THIS IS the OTHER place!"

This episode makes a very, very important truth about humanity very clear, that you should all be fully aware of. Humans need struggle, we need adversity, we crave challenges, we need something that seems impossible to be always on the horizon that we can chase, or we'll go nuts. If humans don't have something to discover, to explore, something to fight for or against, something to conquer, something to overcome, we will be completely unhappy, eventually to the point of suicide. Look at the mice paradise experiment for proof. Work is every bit as important as play for humans. Pray that we never know it, or have built it all.

That and it's important to be grateful for what you have. Rocky is handed a paradise but is never grateful for it. He's still just as surly and angry as ever, on top of not having a tiny mind with no imagination whatsoever. You can have ANYTHING he wants and he just settles for small crap like gambling, money, babes and robbing banks. A flying pig, a flight over rainbows, shrink down to a microscopic size and explore atoms, a parade of pink elephants. Use your brain, dude.

Larry Blyden met a tragic early end. He was vacationing alone in Morocco when he was killed in a car accident. Accounts differ about the circumstances. Some have claimed that it was a carjacking and that he was left for dead by the perpetrators. The official account makes it sound more like was alone in the car and merely went off the road

Strange as I never saw Pip as the villain of the story. The villain is Rocky, a man who, as is records show, has no redeeming features whatsoever. Eve at the end he shows no remorse for his crimes, only annoyed that he can't commit them with some semblence of a gamble so he can feel like he beat the odds. He is in Hell for the bad man that he is, Pip is merely part of the elaborate trap used for Rocky to pretty much punish himself.

You might enjoy your favorite foods and drinks for like a month before you eventually start to get tired of them. You would start to crave other foods and drinks too, but find you are stuck with only your favorite foods and drinks for all eternity. :/
