When does Trek channel the Twilight Zone

[plynch]

Charlie X was TZ's It's a Good life ten years later. Matheson wrote for both series anyway.

True, although Matheson only wrote a single Star Trek episode, "The Enemy Within," ....

Ya write that episode, your worth as a Trek writer is secured. One of the best pieces of TV ever, imho.

2. As to the OP: the Man Trap, because of its music; story-wise, it's more Outer Limits, with a misunderstood monster

The surprise ending of "The Squire of Gothos" reminded me of this Twilight Zone ep.

The first half of "The Mark of Gideon" plays much like an episode of TZ.

There was an old episode where Capt. Kirk was back in time and riding an airplane. He looked out the window and there was that creature on the wing...

Perhaps I'm stating the obvious, but your post is ambiguous. That was an old TWILIGHT ZONE episode (not STAR TREK) titled "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" where William Shatner played a man recently released from a psych hospital.

sbk was pulling our collective leg. The Shatner connection, you see.
