Earlier entries in the series dealt with a similar theme - the second season's 'The Invaders', and 'The Little People' in the third season. Further evidence that The Twilight Zone was about to run it's course, as various other topics had received the retread treatment more than once as well. As a stand alone tale of terror and tiny people, this one works OK, but just OK, with that blow up balloon of a Cyclops alien being just a bit over the top. The more imaginative thing here was that set of giant fingerprints on the trooper car; that was a fairly creative touch. But how the car wound up on it's side in the first place simply defied any kind of credibility. At worst, it would merely have hit a tree or some heavy brush and just stopped. Can't be too critical though. With one more story to go before the series ended, The Twilight Zone provided more interesting tales than clunkers in it's five seasons, and a legacy that keeps on providing fanciful entertainment to this day.
