I remember seeing the episode "Walking Distance" for the first time as a Freshman just in college. I was away from home, away from all my friends. I was coming to realize, with a kind of horror, that the door behind me, my childhood, had truly shut. I wasn't sure at all that I would like this new adult world.
Gathered in the "commons" room of the dorm, watching that "Twilight Zone" episode, I just sat in the back of the dark room and cried. But his final message, that there are merry-go-rounds in the adult world if you know to look for them stuck with me.
Also blown away when I saw the episode, "The Lonely". If you know the episode, you know how it ends.
"All you're leaving behind Corry, is loneliness."
"I must remember to keep that in mind."
