I am a huge fan of The Twilight Zone ... and as my fellow reviewer pointed out, this one is pretty sappy. Well, sometimes that is a good thing! I personally loved this episode. It was a sweet ball of fluff, and sometimes we need that!
I found the relationship between "Old Ben" and Jenny very sweet and I did not find it "creepy" (It was a different era as H. pointed out) He seemed very grandfatherly. - When the surprise ending was revealed though, I was not COMPLETELY surprised. I mean, I never really expected him to be a handsome young man (I assume the aging process on his planet is much much slower!) ... but it all made sense. There was something very child-like in his character. (Like Clarence from It's a Wonderful Life) The fact that it was said that Jenny grew up to be the Queen to his King was also not entirely a surprise. No, I never for one second believed there was more than a friendship type love between young Jenny and "Old" Ben ... but there was deep love. Then we you see the age difference become shorter (well, you know what I mean) it makes sense that they eventually became romantic as she grew up. It's happened before in real life.
Great show!
