Season 5, Episode 123 Original air date: October 11, 1963 One of the most memorable episodes of Twilight Zone simply for starring Captain James Tiberius Kirk himself, William Shatner. Bob Wilson (Shatner) has just had a complete nervous breakdown and he happens to have an acute fear of flying. This isn't being helped by his latest flight which happens to be taking place during a thunderstorm. Throughout the voyage he continually thinks he sees a gremlin on the wing of the plane. Nobody believes him simply because, he's literally certifiably insane. His wife, the stewardess' and even the pilot himself try to calm him down and convince him that there isn't anything to worry about. Nevertheless, Bob continues to see the same strange Gremlin on the wing of the plane. Bob ultimately steals a handgun (you can tell this took place fifty years ago) from one of the other passengers, proceeds to open his window mid-flight and shoot the gremlin off of the plane. We then cut to Bob being taken off of the plane in a straight-jacket and we are lead to believe that he was indeed just seeing things. The ending: Yeah, there was totally a Gremlin on the wing of the plane.
