Now, through adult eyes, I have to wonder, who or what was he??? Miracles speak of God but he's definitely not anything of God. He charges them a large sum of money to "fulfill their fantasy" and then appears to play on their human weakness and gullibility. Very sinister. It's reminds me of Stephen King's Needful Things.

    Unlike the regular series episodes, you actually see guests with different fantasies in the same shot. Bill Bixby even asks about Eleanor Parker’s fantasy. For the series, they never did that, so it would be easy for them to divide the episodes in half.
