Andrea travels back in time to kill baby Adolf Hitler...thus saving the lives of many millions in the 1930s and 40s. However, when she arrives, she oddly cannot bring herself to simply kill the child immediately and without hesitation and suffers pangs of conscience....which doesn't make a lot of sense considering she went to all the trouble of time traveling in the first place!!
This is only an okay episode of the series. There are several things I wasn't impressed by. First, they needed to do their homework better. The guy playing Adolf's daddy looked absolutely nothing like the real guy (who looked almost like Curly Howard with a huge mustache) AND they kept calling him 'Alois Hitler'...which was NOT his name. He was Alois Schicklgruber and Hitler was his mother's last name...mistakes that wouldn't have been made if they'd just done a bit more research. Second, the old "Twilight Zone" TV show already covered similar material twice. In "Judgment Night" a man is on a ship he KNOWS is going to be sunk by a sub...and try as he might he cannot change this. Then, in the next season in "Back There" a man cannot stop the assassination of Lincoln.
Overall, not a bad episode but one that falls apart a bit if you know history or watched the old shows.
