A pretty interesting episode
10 September 2011 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I actually really liked the plot of this episode of The Outer Limits. The acting was also decent, especially 2 of my favorites Jasmine Guy and Costas Mandylor. That being said, the acting was believable on all accounts and the cast as well as the casting director did an excellent job. The only thing this episode was really lacking in was special effects. I have seen worse special effects and some of them were actually decent, but the heat map imaging wasn't what it should be. There were a couple of things that went unexplained but overall it held my attention throughout the episode. I would watch this episode again, and it does make me curious to check out more of what this series has to offer. If you are a fan of sci-fi, military themed conspiracy media, or any of the actors in the episode then I would recommend checking out this episode.
