- Quotes
[closing narration]
Narrator: In a way, it can be said that Walter Ryder succeeded in his life's ambition, even though the man he created was, after all, himself. There may be easier ways to self-improvement, but sometimes it happens that the shortest distance between to points is a crooked line - through the Twilight Zone.

While returning to New York city, Alan feels desire to kill Jess and asks her to leave him on the road and go home. What is happening to Alan Talbot?
"In His Image" is the first episode of the Fourth Season of "The Twilight Zone" with a good sci-fi story. Alan Talbot is a mechanical clone of his creator, a talented but flawed inventor. The mysterious situations are explained when there is the encounter of creator and creature and Alan discovers his origins. This episode shows a new presentation of "The Twilight Zone", with 51 minutes running time. The conclusion is adequate for the good story. My vote is seven.
