Entertainment Weekly's online PopWatch has a quick little interview with Shatner. Nothing super amazing, but it's still nice to hear the man reminisce on Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, the Twilight Zone episode I've been obsessing over ever since reading that Fangoria Richard Matheson interview.
"[The episode] touches another universal in the human psyche, and that is the fear of flying. Buried somewhere in all of us when the going gets rough up there is: If God meant us to fly, we’d have wings. Why are we up here? We’re in the wrong part of the world. We should be on terra firma. That’s the only explanation I can come up with that makes that particular episode as popular as it is."
