StreedTV Reviews: The Outer Limits #4 The Man With The Power (1963)
Tumblr media
Review#4
I didn't think it possible but somehow this episode's quality was even greater than the last, this episode stars the immensely versatile and endlessly talented Donald Pleasence who plays the mild mannered meek Harold J. Finley
Harold is a man tread on by life, he feels insignificant in a world of celebrated and beloved figures, I can heavily relate to such a feeling, I have auspicious goals myself and hope to one day be remembered for my own talents
you sympathize with Harold's character and I consider him deeply tragic, his wife has no faith in him and there marriage is practically loveless and he feels like being a teacher is a demeaning profession
Tumblr media
Harold signs up for an experimental operation which bestows an incredible and infallible power that enables him to telepathically bend objects at his will and his strong emotions to cause an electrical cloud to form and destroy anything in his path
he doesn't intend to harm anyone, in his day to day life he's a gentle man who means no harm but his thoughts are dark and the episode toys with the notion of what if our sinister machinations where made a reality? what kind of irreparable damage would this do?
the episode is also about the corruption of power and how absolute power can bring absolute chaos, back to pleasence's performance his acting is so genuinely incredible that he makes this entire so remarkable and masterful
Tumblr media
his facial expressions convey such an unbridled rage and fury boiling beneath such a seemingly peaceful and kindred man, his icy glare is downright startling and I've never been so frightened by looking at someone's eyes
they're vacant, yet full blooming with pure unmitigated rage, I love how the music represents his strong emotions as well with the score rising when his wife Vera is shoved off the later by his electrical storm
this episode also stars Edward Platt as Dean Radcliffe who I recognized from The Twilight Zone & Gunsmoke, he does a suitable job, just thought I'd mention him because of his distinct booming voice
Tumblr media
the episode has such a suffocating atmosphere of tension, the sets are obviously still quite picturesque as well matching the tone and atmosphere seamlessly, this episode was directed by a familiar name I recognized
László Benedek he also directed an episode of The Fugitive, Season 1 Episode 17 "Come Watch Me Die" which was a fantastic and enthralling story itself, László definitely has a profound talent for directing that i admire
Tumblr media
the ending was heartbreaking and haunting with Harold succumbing to his everlasting power being consumed by it, he commits suicide by his own electrical force and the conclusion is semi-ambiguous
earlier an astronaut Steve Crandon was chosen to have the same operation and it's left unclear whether this hazardous operation was ever conducted or whether it will still proceed after Finley's demise..
the only thing I can criticize the episode for is the poorly aged effects which seems to be a running issue in the series but what can you expect it was indeed the 1960s, the electrical cloud effect was poorly composited and the bolder being lifted was clearly held on strings which admittedly gave me a chuckle
Over all this was a powerful gripping entry examining what ultimate power can do to a man and how it can strip him of his humanity, it's a character study about a man overcome by his subconscious hatred for his place in life, unforgettable episode, couldn't recommend it more

On April 13, 1964 there was still nothing wrong with your television set as David again appeared on The Outer Limits.
A single father’s fight to maintain his troubled relationship with his teenaged daughter turns into a fight to preserve the human race in Feasibility Study.

StreedTV Reviews: The Outer Limits #3 The Architects Of Fear (1963)
Tumblr media
Review#3
what a stunning episode, the last entry was an eerie atmospheric experience but this one while still atmospheric and quite tense is a tragic story emblematic of the faulty belief that the end justify the means
these scientists firmly believe that in order to restore peace to the nation that they must fabricate a common enemy, that everyone can unite to defeat, thus freeing the world of chaos A seemingly noble cause
the concept itself is not inherently immoral but it's the execution that makes it immoral, Alan Leighton is chosen and at first he seems comfortable with his decision until he learns of his wife Yvette's pregnancy regrets starts to settle in
Tumblr media
his death is faked and he's gripped with guilt, still thinking of her despite his morbid transformation and slowly decreasing humanity, Robert Culp's performance is absolutely incredible and I believe without his acting prowess this would've episode would've had lesser quality
I recognize him as Robert Jones from the highly esoteric and underrated TV movie A Cold Night's Death (1973) which I staunchly believe at least partially inspired John Carpenter's The Thing (1982)
Tumblr media
Culp really sells the despair Alan is going through, imagine being transformed permanently into a completely unrecognizable creature knowing your demise is inevitable and you'll never see your loved ones again, it's quite a dreadful and existentially agonizing concept
there where other actors I recognized as well such as Leonard Stone who played Charles in Soylent Green (1973) Geraldine Brooks who I've seen appear a few times in The Fugitive (1963-1967) and Billy Green Bush who I mainly know as Jim from a childhood favorite of mine Critters (1986)
even the scientists specifically Dr. Gainer are relatively engaging, they aren't evil or manipulative, they truly believe this is the right thing to do but it's obvious that the more the surgical procedures are implemented that Dr. Gainer is feeling a considerable amount of regret and guilt
Tumblr media
as disturbing as the subject matter for this episode is, the atmosphere radiates a profound bleakness and sorrow, much like the last episode, the score is very effective and compliments the dreary scenery well
the effects for the early 60s are inventive but poor and typically unrealistic though i will compliment the uncanny appearance of the alien, it's a bizarre combination of both frightening and somewhat silly, much like Katahdin from Prophecy (1979)
Tumblr media
the way it moves is what particularly unnerved me, the finale to this fine episode etched my heart with pure despair, i'm being immensely transparent when I say the finale made me weep
at the end Alan in his new alien form returns to the lab and finds Yvette and props to the writers for not making her irrationally scream at the sight of an unfamiliar being, she's more shocked than anything
Alan communicates the "Mark against evil" gesture which was brilliantly foreshadowed early on and I predicted it would be used in the finale, she realizes it's him and he passes
over all, this was an emotionally impactful poignant entry that warns against the use of fear to achieve unity, in the end Alan died for nothing, all the effort put to unite the world has left no affect, nothing has changed, a truly evocative, a strong recommendation for me

There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. For the next hour, sit quietly, and we will control all that you see and hear.
Poor, ambitious coal miner Gwyllim Griffiths agrees to be the subject of a study in human evolution in The Sixth Finger (The Outer Limits, aired Oct. 14, 1963).
