Further, it's absolutely my favorite episode of television ever produced. <br /><br />Harlan Ellison may have been a mouthy, angry man, but he was a brilliant writer. This, his STAR TREK episode City on the Edge of forever, and his HITCHCOCK HOUR, Memo from Purgatory, are all amazing presentations.<br /><br />@Randall: Rex Holman was in an episode of LAND OF THE GIANTS, and Abraham Sofaer was in episodes of THE TIME TUNNEL and LOST IN SPACE as well! But it wasn't until a couple of years ago that I realized that Rex Holman gave the emotional performance as J'onn in ST: THE FINAL FRONTIER, a movie I actually enjoy a lot, especially for the funny and warm scenes of "the big three" together (Kirk, Spock, and McCoy). Not long ago, I found and downloaded (mp3 on Amazon) an album of folk songs by Rex Holman! Not exactly my thing, but very nicely done in any case.<br /><br />Re: OUTER LIMITS endings, actually I think the show was very grim most of the time, especially in its first season of monsters of "boogeymen" as Harlan Ellison considered OL's first year. I tend to agree, that the first year was just awfully downcast, and I blame that on Joseph Stefano. I have more favorites in the second season, which is more sci-fi than the horrific overall tone of the first. (Though I do like the photography of the first year.)krdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02451469867728400738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825429179234380868.post-85822112482006512652021-02-22T17:46:51.918-08:002021-02-22T17:46:51.918-08:00Did not realize Rex Holman was in this episode. He...Did not realize Rex Holman was in this episode. He played Morgan Earp in Star Trek's "Spectre of the Gun," and J'onn in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Abraham Sofaer played the Thasian in Star Trek's "Charlie X" (lol, he was a HEAD in that one), and coincidentally the voice of the Melkotian HEAD in Star Trek's "Spectre of the Gun" as well.<br /><br />This was a pretty unique episode. Rarely, imo, did they have unhappy endings, but this one is quite a standout, and Robert Culp apparently thought it was, rightly so, a wonderful script.Randall Landershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10459066894752870249noreply@blogger.com
