The Outer Limits (1963) - 4 trivia entries

Only show series: Whole show 1 2 All

The Forms of Things Unknown (series 1)

Edit

This is the only Outer Limits episode that lacks both opening and closing narration. It was absent because "Forms" was the unsold pilot for a series called The Unknown. A second version, stripped of all its supernatural elements (Tone was simply a mad scientist, not a real time traveler), also failed to sell. Submitted by Jean G

Edit

Part of Dominic Frontiere's haunting musical score for this episode later became the theme and background music for the TV series The Invaders, a show for which Frontiere served as the primary composer. Submitted by Jean G

The Duplicate Man (series 2)

Edit

The bird-beaked alien megasoid from this episode made a "guest appearance" in the first Star Trek pilot, shot the same year (1964). It can be glimpsed in one of the Keeper's enclosures in the uncut version of "The Cage." Submitted by Jean G

Cold Hands, Warm Heart (series 2)

Edit

By weird coincidence, this episode features William Shatner (two years before Captain Kirk's adventures with the Vulcan Mr. Spock began) as an astronaut whose mission is dubbed "Project Vulcan." Also in the episode is Lawrence Montaigne, who would later play the Vulcan Stonn on Star Trek. Submitted by Jean G
