The premise underlying this episode is intriguing; a man who can travel back in time to change things or not change things. The main character and his eventual love interest are both interesting. The execution of the episode isn't great, however.
First off, it felt like there was a lot of filler for this episode. It probably would've been better in the half-hour format than the hour one. At times, the episode just seems to drag on.
The protagonist was comically bad at 'intervening' in history. Stopping the Hiroshimo bombing was always impractical, but he was also just plain bad at killing Hitler. He seemed inept and it made the episode duller and made me wonder if any of these 'botched interventions' were even necessary for the episode.
He then goes back to live in a town in 1881 and decides rather than intervening in history, he just wanted to live a normal life, but then he won't do anything a normal person would do at fear of changing history.
The end moral was reasonably good (work on bettering the present and future, rather than the past), but just felt not much happened in 51 minutes.
Still an OK episode, but not a classic.
