This episode gets by on the "iconic factor" more than anything.
Shatner was a favorite of Serling and others to play "likable ordinary men".
Here, he plays a man who is coming off a nervous breakdown, and boards a plane with his wife.
He looks out the window and sees a gremlin on the plane's wing.
So, what transpires is what appears to be another breakdown from him, which apparently is why the gremlin allows this character to see him.
There is a lot of thrill to this one, though not much suspense or mystery.
The events are a bit too contrived to really satisfy most viewers, but like I said, this episode relies on the chills and thrills, and even when it was made, it's obvious there was an attempt to make an iconic scene or two.
There's not much of a payoff at the end. At least not one that makes sense, but it is watchable.
