THE OUTER LIMITS EPISODE GUIDE!!!
|
|
|
|
Following, ready for printing, I hereby present the (soon to be)
|
|
world famous OUTER LIMITS episode guide. This all-inclusive guide,
|
|
in chronological order, is drawn from numerous sources, relying
|
|
particularly on an obscure issue of Star Log and my own memories
|
|
on the subject. Each episode includes original air date on ABC and
|
|
(my own) rating ranging from one star to four stars.

A paranoid army officer with delusions of persecution accidently switches

minds with the doctor who was trying to help him. He then attempts to
|
|
misuse some nuclear device in an attempt to rid himself of these feelings
|
|
(i.e. by blowing himself and the rest of the Arctic expedition to

|
smithereens.) While the plot is weak, the character development and overall
|
|
drama rates this one: ***

Robert Culp again -- this time as a man who, by virtue of a metal plate in
|
|
his skull, overhears two alien "rocks" plotting the overthrow of the Earth
|
|
by invading peoples' minds. Eventually, his own wife is invaded, and the
|

whole episode is a beautiful creeping terror. ****

Writer: Joseph Stefano

Director: John Erman

Guest Cast: Ed Nelson, Martin Sheen, James Shigeta, David Frankham

|
During an interplanetary war with the planet Ebon, some Earth POW's are
|
|
subjected to a series of tortures. The whole thing turns out to be
|
|
instigated by EARTH officials to test the men's stamina! Very well done,
|
|
but not too complimentary toward certain political elements. ****

|
Director: Gerd Oswald

|
Guest Cast: Edward, Asnwer, Scott Marlowe, Michael Forest, Barbara Luna,
|
|
Joan Camden
|
|
|
|
One of my personal favorites. An creature of pure energy is created in a
|
|
vacuum cleaner by an ususpecting cleaning lady. It absorbs all energy (and
|
|
most matter) in its path. The rather insane head of a large research
|
|
organization (aren't they all?) finds a way to capture it, and prevents his
|
|
key employees from spilling the beans by letting it "kill" them and then
|
|
keeping them alive with remote controlled heart pacemakers. The energy
|
|
creature is a stop-action cloud type effect that is really NEAT! ****
|
|

|
The Borderland (12/16/63)
|
|
Writer: Leslie Stevens
|
|
Director: Leslie Stevens
|
|
Guest Cast: Nina Foch, Mark Richman, Phillip Abbott
|
|
|
|
Another of my favorites. A research team is probing the fourth dimension by
|
|
creating an energy field which uses HUGE amounts of electricity (they set
|
|
up inside a power plant). Various interpersonal forces come to play to
|
|
complicate the already complex and delicate experiments in the unknown. ***

A lizard-like creature is captured and frozen by an expedition in South

|
loser. *

The Zanti Misfits (12/30/63)
|

Writer: Joseph Stefan
|
|
Director: Leonard Horn

Guest Cast: Bruce Dern, Michael Tolan, Robert F. Simon, Lex Johnson
|
|
|
|
The aliens of the planet Zanti have forced the Earth to accept their
|
|
criminals and misfits, since they doen't want to imprison them themselves.
|
|

|
|
unknowingly invaded by a pair of criminals escaping from a bank robbery. **

The Mice (1/6/64)

|
Guest Cast: Henry Silva, Diana Sands
|
|
|
|

it turns out his/her/its motives are less than honorable. ***

Writer: Leslie Stevens
|
|
Director: Leslie Stevens
|
|
Guest Cast: Carroll O'Conner, Barry Morse, Grace Lee Whitney, Robert
|
|
Kelljan
|
|
|
|
Yet another of my favorites, though it was almost all done in the editing
|
|
room. A pair of Martians (they look like humans) are investigating the
|
|
quaint Earth custom of murder. They take a typical murder scene, and twist
|
|
it forward, backward, and inside out by means of a portable local time
|
|
machine. This is actually a rare piece, an Outer Limits comedy. And it IS
|
|
funny. ****

|
Don't Open Till Doomsday (1/20/64)
|
|
Writer: Joseph Stefan
|
|
Director: Gerd Oswald
|
|
Guest Cast: Miriam Hopkins, Melinda Plowman, Buck Taylor, Russell Collins,
|
|
David Frankham
|
|
|
|
This is a gothic fantasy in modern terms. Very complex, involving an alien
|
|
being who keeps humans imprisoned with him in a little box while he
|
|
attempts to find his fellow travelers so they can destroy our universe and
|
|
return to their dimensional system. He captures a bridegroom on his wedding
|
|
night, and holds him since he will not cooperate. His aging bride, over
|
|
time, attempts to coax others into the trap, in an attempt to free her
|
|
(non-aging) husband from the box. ****

|
|
|
|
A hive of bees, who have been intellectually advanced due to experiments
|
|
with an entomologist, mutate one of their own into a human female. Their
|
|
goal is to have her mate with the entomologist and thusly create a strain
|

that can wipe out humanity. **

The Invisibles (2/3/64)

Writer: Joseph Stefano

Director: Gerd Oswald
|
|
Guest Cast: Tony Mordente, Don Gordon, George Macready, Walter Burke
|
|
|
|
This is one of the few episodes for which my memory does not serve me too
|
|
well. It involves crablike alien parasites that invade the Earth and take
|
|
over human hosts in an attempt to take over society. It has a strong "power
|
|
corrupts" message and political overtones as well. I think this one was no
|
|
better than: **

The Bellero Shield (2/10/64)
|
|
Writer: Joseph Stefano
|
|
Director: Gerd Oswald
|
|
Guest Cast: Martin Landau, Sally Kellerman, Chita Rivera, John Joyt, Neil
|
|
Hamilton
|
|
|
|
This is a GOOD one. A scientist accidently attracts an alien creature to
|
|
Earth via his laser experiments. His scheming wife, who wants him to get
|
|
recognition at any cost, kills the alien and steals its impenetrable
|
|
shielding device. When she demonstrates it, she finds she cannot turn it
|
|
off, that she is completely trapped. The story goes on from there, but I
|
|
have no intention of giving it away. ****

|
|
|
Children of Spider Country (2/17/64)
|
|
Writer: Anthony Lawrence
|
|
Director: Leonard Horn
|
|
Guest Cast: Lee Kinsolving, Kent Smith
|
|
|
|
I have virtually no memory left of this one except for some very vague
|
|
ideas. An alien comes to Earth to recover his son and four other young men
|
|
who were sired by Earth women. They were left on Earth so they would
|
|
develop the "spirit" necessary to help their own planet recover from
|
|
something that has ruined their spirit (and, incidently, their ability to,
|
|
uh, mate.) Since I cannot remember it, I cannot give this one a rating.

|
|
Jaeckel
|
|
|
|
Small, biscuit like thingies are found floating in space by one of our
|
|
space stations. Turns out they bloom like flowers and emit gas that
|
|
immediately kills. Unfortunately, some are already enroute down to Earth.
|
|
The ship crashes and they spread all over the place around the crash site
|
|
-- millions of them. Where does it go from there? I ain't telling. ***

Second Chance (3/2/64) [A.K.A. Joy Ride]
|
|
Writers: Lou Morheim, Lin Dane
|
|
Director: Paul Stanley
|
|
Guest Cast: Simon Oakland, Don Gordon
|
|
|
|
An alien converts an amusement park space ride into a REAL spaceship, and
|
|
abducts some individuals who have been specially selected via mental
|
|
probing. The idea is to give them a "second chance" at life by working to
|
|
avoid a massive catastrophe that will affect the alien's planet and,
|
|
eventually, Earth. They don't care for this second chance (well, most of
|
|
them don't.) ***

Moonstone (3/9/64)
|

Writer: William Bast
|

|
|
Guest Cast: Ruth Roman, Alex Nichol, Tim O'Conner
|
|
|
|
A military base on the moon finds an odd white globe a little bigger than a
|
|
bowling ball. It turns out to contain several alien intelligences that have
|
|
incredible knowledge, and are trying to escape from an oppressive alien
|
|
tyrants. **

A man, accidently caught outside in an isotope rainfall on a newly
|
|
discovered planet, turns into a mutant who can kill simply with his touch.
|
|
He hold the whole outpost in isolation via this ability to destroy, and
|
|
eventually has to deal with an inspector sent out to find out why things
|
|
have been kind of strange with the outpost (the only one on the planet.) **
|
|
|
|
The Guests (3/23/64)

Director: Paul Stanley
|
|
Guest Cast: Gloria Graham, Geoffrey Horne, Luana Anders

A man stumbles upon a strange house where times stands still - and whose
|
|
occupants are captive guests of a weird and unearthly creature.
|

|
|
Fun and Games (3/30/64)
|
|
Writers: Robert Specht and Joseph Stefano
|
|
Director: Gerd Oswald
|
|
Guest Cast: Nick Adams, Nancy Malone
|
|
|
|
An early film rendition of the time-honored "fight for your planet" theme
|
|
first put forth in the short story "Arena" as I recall, many years ago.
|
|
Well, done, with the "operator" of the Arena a really great, gleefully
|
|
cackling type character. A good episode. ***

|
|
|
The Special One (4/6/64)

|
Director: Gerd Oswald
|
|
Guest Cast: Macdonald Carey, Marion Ross, Richard Ney, Flip Mark

A Feasibility Study (4/13/64)
|
|
Writer: Joseph Stefano
|
|
Director: Byron Haskin
|
|
Guest Cast: Sam Wanamaker, Joyce Van Patten, Phyllis Love
|
|
|
|
Six square blocks from a U.S. city residential neighborhood are teleported
|
|
to another planet by a horribly mutated race that wants to see if Earth
|
|
people will make good slaves. The race itself is no longer capable of
|
|
complex physical movements due to this mutation, and needs such beasts of
|
|
burden. However, Earth people can catch their "disease", and they
|
|
eventually infect themselves, thusly becoming the same as the aliens, to
|
|
make the feasibility study a failure. An excellent show. ****

Production and Decay of Strange Particles (4/20/64)

Duke, Joseph Ruskin

At an atomic installation, a scientist creates a new isotope that turns out
|

|
|
impressive. *

Director: Gerd Oswald

|
|
William O'Connell
|
|
|
|
A human is altered to appear the same as some aliens who have landed on
|
|
Earth, and whose intentions are unknown (but assumed to be hostile). The
|
|
alteration is genetic, based on some fingernail scraping of one of the
|
|
aliens. The human ends up liking the aliens a lot more than humans, and
|
|
leaves with them. ***

|
The Forms of Things Unknown (5/4/64)
|
|
Writer: Joseph Stefano
|
|
Director: Gerd Oswald
|
|
Guest Cast: Vera Miles, Barbara Rush, Scott Marlowe, Sir Cedric Hardwicke,
|
|
David McCallum
|
|
|
|
This one is a biggie. Two women murder an evil Rasputin type man while out
|
|
on an picnic. Taking refuge in a gothic mansion in a storm, they meet
|
|
McCallum who (without their knowledge) is using a "time-tilting" device to
|
|
bring him back to life. This one is a brooding gothic SF drama, and is
|
|
SUPERB. It was shot with two endings, one reserved towards the possibility
|
|
of using it as a pilot for a new show to be called "The Unknown". This
|
|
episode was probably among the finest hours of film ever produced for
|
|
television at any time. Excellent. ***** (yes, !!5!! stars).

A man, born and bred to be nothing but a soldier, is accidently transported

from the future to the present during a battle. Nolan, a police
|
|
psychologist, attempts to introduce the man to our society, and learns much
|
|
of the horrors of the future. In the meantime, THE ENEMY is close behind --
|
|
he too has been transported to the present... ***

|
|
back the continuum the will get ripped open anyway. He eyesight is the
|
|
problem, so he seeks the aid of an optometrist who has invented some
|
|
special glasses made of quartz from a meteorite! A strange episode. **

|
|
Writer: Francis Cockrell
|
|
Director: Gerd Oswald
|
|
Guest Cast: Skip Homeier, Keith Andes, James Doohan, Vaughn Taylor
|
|
|
|
Basically a Jekyll and Hyde story. A research scientist invents a drug that
|
|
gives him superhuman powers and intellect, but also warps his judgement in
|
|
antisocial ways. A thinly veiled editorial against the "Tune In, Turn On,
|
|
Drop Out" days of the 60's. (Sigh, how well I remember those days...) *

Demon With a Glass Hand (10/17/64)

|
|
|
|
A man from the future, with fragmented memories and a glass computer for
|
|
one of his hands finds himself in the present, being hunted by aliens from
|
|
the future in an old building. The hand keeps telling him that he holds the
|
|
key to life or death for billions of future humans, but it cannot give him
|
|
the details until he gets the three missing fingers of the hand (obviously
|
|
ROMS) back from the aliens. A very good episode. ****

|
|
|
|
A piece of an alien planet is brought back and, in miniature, and
|
|
accelerated time, studied by a scientist (who keeps it in a complex gas
|
|
case.) [shades of the Microcosmic God!] It turns out, however, that the

case also contains an evil entity from the planet, that gradually gains in

power and threatens the project, the scientist, and his wife. ***

|

|
|
The only two-part episode in the series. The story of several Vietnam
|
|
vets, who all recovered from being shot with bullets made from some odd
|
|
substance, who gradually develop a group mind, start to build some
|
|
incredible machine, and have a rather odd interest in some emotionally and
|
|
physically handicapped children. This is all viewed from the standpoint of
|
|
government agents who are trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
