Spur of the Moment

A young woman in white is out horseback riding near her father's estate. On a ridge she sees a maniacal black figure. A middle aged woman who screams and then pursues her back to the house. She backs off as the young woman gets to her destination. The young woman is to be married soon to an accountant. As her father and fiancé try to comfort her, a handsome young man comes to the door to see her. Apparently, he is quite taken with her but has been told to stay away. There is obviously a spark still there. The father eventually pulls a gun on him. The father is a dominating figure and always gets his way. The rest of the episode is about the future results of these actions. We have two figures of the same person at different times in their lives; yet they are in the same time dimension. We get to see what will happen and it is not pretty. Quite a good episode with a lot of unanswered questions about what can be and what will be.

A really fascinating Twilight Zone story which begins with young Diana Hyland who is well fixed going riding on the family estate shortly before she is to be wed to Robert Hogan. A mysterious woman in black spots her from a distance as Hyland spots the mystery woman. The mystery girl rides after her chasing her back to the estate where Hyland's parents Marsha Hunt and Philip Ober try to calm her down. Young Roger Davis arrives who Hyland threw overboard for Hogan also comes to plead his case for the last time.

If you think you know what's going you do not. You might guess part of it, but not all of it. But this does involve three of the cast members giving a different view of themselves.

In the end just who exactly was in The Twilight Zone?

The eighteen-year-old Anne Henderson is riding a horse, when she sees a scary woman wearing black calling her and riding to her. She flees to her house, where her parents Mr. And Mrs. Henderson and her fiancé Robert Blake are waiting for her. Mr. Henderson calls the police, while her mother and Robert comfort her. Out of the blue, her former boyfriend David Mitchell invades her house and tells to Anne that he loves her. Twenty-five years later, Anne remembers that day talking to her mother.

"Spur of the Moment" is an episode of "The Twilight Zone" about the regret for mistakes in the youth that everyone has certainly committed. Unfortunately, the present cannot change the past, but only the future. Anne Henderson will certainly regret that day for the rest of her life. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Impulso Repentino" ("Sudden Impulse")

I have given this episode a 7/10, but keep in mind that is on a scale in comparison to the rest of TZ episodes.

Rarely do TZ episodes truly give me the creeps, but this episode does. It is almost horrific in a way. I love TZ for so much, and being creepy is naturally a part of it. However, with this episode it is just disturbing. The reoccurring scenes and the simplicity of the makeup and long black hair are probably what makes this simple episode so frightening.

If you don't see this episode for everything it truly is then you won't be as disturbed by it. However, all the same, you should watch it. XD

This story sounds very like a soap opera, not at all the usual TZ atmosphere. But why not? It is rather agreeable to watch, but also an episode you will rapidly forget. We have seen worse in the show, but that doesn't make this one a true masterpiece. It will ravish the whole family, though, and speaking of this, I am sure the story was precisely written for the largest audiences, including the grandma and nieces. Me, well, I was a bit bored, and I am sure I am not an exception. It really sounds like a soap opera. Not my stuff. But I hope you will enjoy it, more than I did. For me that's not the lousiest but the most boring episode of the whole series.
