      When Eck first encounters Dr. Stone in his office to take his glasses, the blackboard there switches back and forth several times from being entirely covered with formulas to being partially erased on the right side.

    After A While You Will Like It
    A lighter story than usual, about contact with an alien being.

    I find that whenever Outer Limits dares venture into light comedy (Controlled Experiment, etc) the show fails. For decades I thought this hour was the biggest load of crap all due to the absent minded genius and the poor effects work of the creature Eck.

    But after a few repeat viewings I came to understand that the story is actually very good and the lesser elements to the episode can be forgiven if you just centre on what is actually happening in the clever story.

    The budget was probably $20 but I can forgive that point as well.
