Warning: Spoilers
Another man victimized by aliens. It seems that the cold war presented us with the unknown, space creatures who represented the communists, with their dehumanizing political philosophy. Here Roddy McDowell trusts the aliens. He is treated kindly, falls in love, and chooses to make the best of his situation. The kindness is like that toward a puppy that has lost its way. Roddy doesn't get it. They seem to care about him but there are faces that say otherwise. The young woman is up to something. When the man asks if he will see her again, she says yes, but with a look of disgust. No one escapes happily on The Twilight Zone. We know he is on his way to trouble. He gets a nice home but it has no doors that open, nor windows that look out. They are going to try to keep him happy as we might a chimpanzee.
