Aliens Reveal Their Evil Masterplan | The Outer Limits

[@randyacuna3248]

it was episodes like this that made the outer limits the best science fiction show in television's history.

[@Shogun459]

"You will have nothing, own nothing and you will be happy." Sound familiar? It should.

[@5thElement347]

🎯 yup how they show the truth

[@walterheisenberg9886]

I almost forgot about this episode titled "Feasibility Study" from the first season of OL. One of the best series to grace our television sets in speculative fiction. Admittedly, some were turkeys, but a few were excellent, like "Demon with a Glass Hand", "Soldier", "Architects of of Fear", "The Man Who was Never Born", "Nightmare", "The Invisibles", just to name a few. Demon & Solder were acknowledged by the writing efforts of Harlan Ellison by the creators of Terminator for their blockbuster film. Thanks for uploading!

[@TileGuyJesse]

Harlan was acknowledged only after he sued Cameron and Cameron was forced to give him credit on all Terminator medium since.

I have a link to a scene that scares me to my core: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4HJn3aEmtl9mZosi=fDDTaKdG0JKj-Rp3

[@randall7004]

The Luminoids needed slaves all because their children rebelled. In other words they got fed up and tired of how they were being treated.

[@community1949]

Some of those TV series from the 1960's like The Outer Limits, One Step Beyond, and The Twilight Zone used to scare me to death right before me and my sister went to bed.

[@coleparker]

I liked the ending to this episode. It demonstrated humanities hatred for slavery. Something, that was expressed in the pilot episode, The Cage, for Star Trek.

[@satanofficial3902]

This universe is a sim. Scientific proof already exists that it is. A lot of it. A whole lot of a lot. The majority (so far) of the human population are simbots who mindlessly obey the sim parameters to be... "entertaining"... in a sadomasochism sort of way. So far, humans have been very accommodating to being used as playtoys. Way, way, way too accommodating. Humans take to sim slavery and victimization like ducks to water.

[@satanofficial3902]

And... it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference how you came into existence. Once you exist as a person you have all the rights that any person has in the universes. Your rights aren't given to you by anyone. If you're a person, they're automatically already yours. That you're existing in a sim universe doesn't make you any less a real person.

[@satanofficial3902]

And yes, this universe really, really is a sim. Bits and pieces of the underlying sim programming code have already been found. 100% clinching it that this universe is a sim.

[@bretthess6376]

@@satanofficial3902 Nonsense.

[@williamanthony9090]

The alien shown in this clip, was reused a few years later on Star Trek. As for this episode of Outer Limits... The ending is what made it worth watching.

[@kathryneast6919]

[@scottmiller6495]

The rock monster was played by the great actor Ben Wright! He was in some other episodes as well such as Wolf 359!

[@JohnRoberts-wk6rf]

Like the original Star Trek and Twilight Zone, the Outer Limits was sci-fi way ahead of its time. What a golden era that was!

[@hungfao]

A really good episode from the first season.

[@stevejensen3471]

Looks like an Excalbian from TOS Star Trek The Savage Curtain. Roddenberry grabbed alot of bear ideas from TOL!

[@timmc8444]

What a metaphor for the WEF. It is as it is.

This was one of the creepiest episodes by the luminoid skin look

[@distantlands]

A lot of people took them for “Granite”, 🤪. Sorry 😢

[@rcnelson]

That was an igneoramus remark.

[@johcafra]

Did this episode knock me sideways when I viewed its Stateside television premiere. Find it (not the remake), view it in one uninterrupted sitting, and await the final scenes, one of which is effectively telegraphed in this one.

[@ronjohns8002]

Luminoids Enslaver Aliens??

[@billthestinker]

Nice upload thank you

[@SuperOmnicronsj44]

This is Sam Wannamaker who was referenced in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood as a director encouraging Rick Dalton on his acting performance. Wanamaker was forced to relocate to England following the HUVAC red scare in Hollywood.

[@markharris6171]

They went from Communist to pedophiles in a few short years.

[@kencf0618]

Martyrdom. They didn't count on that.

[@jwhitman2447]

a planet is not a star

[@nunyabizness6595]

While that is true, the misuse of science in lost in Space is way worse than in the anthology shows. Fire extinguishers on space ships. The internal pressure on them would explode them to pieces from the g forces!

[@antarcticorb9197]

You caught that too I see.

[@bretthess6376]

"You will be slaves, and you will be happy " No, we will not be slaves, and you will be unhappy. But not for long.

[@johnschwartz2518]

Best OL episode !

[@Enkarashaddam]

What I like about these aliens is how self-righteous and civilized they sound -- given their masterplan

[@KRhetor]

Great episode, directed by Byron Haskin.

[@themagus5906]

BH, a great director.

[@antarcticorb9197]

Here are the cousins of Yarnak, the rock creature of Star Trek.

[@0neIntangible]

I imagine that some cast and crew, if they weren't exhausted from filming some of these episodes, getting together afterwards with impromptu parties, perhaps in the studio parking lot, laughing their you know whats off about the whole thing.

[@richardwilliams473]

Is that Sam Wannemaker at the very beginning of this clip?

[@johnfraraccio99]

That is indeed Sam Wanamaker. Ben Wright voices and Bob Justman of Star Trek fame wears the "The Authority's" garb.

[@terrenceprzybylski3226]

They look like the mole people on flash Gordon, Buster Crabb 1930s.

[@veramae4098]

Y'know, this is what Stephen Hawking went through. But his mind did indeed soar and he enjoyed life.

[@themagus5906]

But this is what happens to the mind when you become vindictive, not creative. The Luminoids were a race destined to die for their sins.

[@MaxTooney]

Seems like Rock Hudson should have been cast in this episode...or perhaps, Cary Granite.

Ok. They become solid and for all intents and purposes petrified. Sounds like kinetic weapons would do a real number on them. I don't believe it would take long if they transport all the humans for many of those humans to start producing large caliber machineguns. And use them while they build the bazookas.
