Echo of Yesterday

Pretty good episode. It was a little off the wall the way they did it though. The reenactment of Hitler killing the guy's wife. What I didn't get was that Cinnamon really didn't look at all like his wife and nobody knew exactly how or where Hitler killed her. I could see if they put a mask on her so she looked identical to the wife but they didn't. So how did simply drugging the guy make him believe that that all really happened just like that? That was also a little risky since they had no way of knowing how he'd react when Eric Braeden's character did the shooting.

Hi jayn1111!

I thought Echo Of Yesterday was a very good episode. Barbara Bain didn't quite like Winifred Hyde-Whites' character's wife, but I think that the fact that his memories of her were 60 years old and the drug that Cinnamon slipped into his coffee did the job.

Laugh while you can, Monkey Boy!

Thanks Mariakelly. I don't mean to seem like I"m nitpicking or complaining because I did really like the episode. I was just a little confused about how him being drugged would result in changing his memories like that. My next episode is the Photographer. I always liked that one.
