The Outer Limits: Counterweight (1964)
Season 2, Episode 14
6/10
The unique creature and whose who character actors make this a good watch.
27 March 2022
A random group of people (six men, two women) are selected to take part in a simulated flight to a far away alien planet. We are told that the flight is a test and will take 261 days and pays the passengers well as give the pilot a chance to man the first trip to the planet. Everything starts out well, but a series of strange events soon lead to paranoia and anger and the passengers soon learn there not alone on the flight. This is overall a pretty decent episode, it at times feels slow and the payoff at the end isn't anything mind blowing, but the message of man's inability to learn as well as destroy and kill has been done before but works fine here. The creature (which is my profile pic by the way) is unique and one of my favorites that and the abundance of whose who character actors makes this a good watch.
