  2. I like that Nutcracker one! Also, if memory serves, the first photo is from the first ever Outer Limits episode, a pretty creepy one about a being from some other time/space dimension that kinda looks like a walking bowl of jello in human form...- Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    1. Yes, the first episode was called Galaxy Being, the one that started it all. I still love those early special effects. Happy holidays!!

    2. I know I sound like a broken record about this or that having scared the crap out of me when I was a kid, but add The Galaxy Being to the list! It certainly got my attention the first time around, and I 've been a huge fan of the original series ever since!

  3. My favorite part of that episode was the metaphysical discussion between Cliff Robertson and the Galaxy Being. At age 8 I wasn't exactly sure what a metaphysical discussion was, but one thing I was sure of: I was going to be watching this series every week.
