  Quick correction: &nbsp;In the Galaxy Being, Carol is Allan Maxwell’s wife, not his sister—good catch by those who noticed!<br>👉 Were there any Outer Limits episodes that stuck with you that we didn’t cover? Do you remember the first time you saw the show? Share your memories in the comments.

  Are you kidding?! &nbsp;I was obsessed with The Outer Limits when I was in grade school! I never missed an episode and remembered especially the one especially with David McCallum. 🌞 I also loved The Twilight Zone and One Step Beyond. 🌞

  The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, One Step Beyond. Those were my bread and butter growing up. It would be the rare few that I didn’t catch first run. Anthology shows were better fair than series at the time. “Television writers” weren’t a thing at the time. These shows drew on short story writers and novelists. As a consequence, the story telling was more up front. I still think it’s a great format.

  The best episodes of The Outer Limits hit even harder when you know the secrets behind them. Classic sci-fi storytelling at its finest!

  The Zanti misfits is perfectly terrifying. Using mankind as executioners.

  Best epilogue IMO: “The Invisables.” Control Voice: “You do not know these men, you may have looked at them, but you did not see them. They are the wind that blows newspapers down the gutter on a windy night…and sweeps the gutter clean.” Sooo heavy !!!

  Martin Landau was in a 1970s Sci-Fi TV Show called, &quot;SPACE 1999&quot; along with his wife, Barbara Bain. Martin Landau and Barbara Bain &nbsp;explained...To understand the significance of Barbara Bain and Martin Landau in &quot;Space: 1999,&quot; consider the following points: <br>Barbara Bain played the role of Commander Koenig&apos;s second-in-command, showcasing strong leadership. <br>Martin Landau portrayed Commander John Koenig, the central character leading Moonbase Alpha. <br>Both actors were previously known for their roles in &quot;Mission: Impossible,&quot; enhancing their star power. <br>Their performances contributed to the show&apos;s exploration of complex themes like isolation and survival. <br>The chemistry between Bain and Landau added depth to the show&apos;s interpersonal dynamics. <br>&quot;Space: 1999&quot; became a cult classic, in part due to their compelling portrayals and character development.<br>Their daughter, Juliet Landau, among her many achievements is best known for her role as Vampire Drusilla on TV&apos;s Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff show Angel.

  &quot;Behold, Eck!&quot; This episode has stuck with me from childhood. Great series. Never missed an episode. And love to return to it every now and again for brilliantly written and executed sci-fi.

  The intro with it&apos;s commanding voice leading to viewers to hyperfocus on the changing visuals of the moon was hypnotic.

  The exteriors of the &quot;Zanti Misfits&quot; were filmed at Vasquez Rocks, north of Valencia, California. This was a popular location for many science fiction shows, especially &quot;Star Trek&quot;.
