* TakeThatCritics: The episode vocally rejects the notion that art should be purely for entertainment rather than trying to have a meaningful message, a rebuttal of some complaints that have been aimed at the show. That said, it also rejects the idea that entertaining genre work is ''not'' art.

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Rod Serling tells Sophie this and outlines it as such in the closing monologue. She's worried that she is a soulless writer who has lost the joy she had as a child and that being punished by the Twilight Zone is some sort of KarmicTwistEnding. Instead, Serling reassures her that she hasn't lost that joy at all and can rediscover it in the real Twilight Zone. He says it's never too late to find your sense of wonder no matter how much we grow up.
