A news paper man that deals in facts. Boy this is an old way of thinking
Bingo.
Not old jim, truth never gets old just forgotten to fit a narrative
Fox “News” should take note.
Now they deal in fantasy, or variable reality.
I believe they were called journalists. An almost extinct breed now.
Can we please get a new Outer Limits Episode? . I am a Older Disabled Veteran and the shows I grew up with helps me with my Pain . Thank You 🙏 🇺🇸.
TH-cam has full episodes. Just type it in the search bar.😉
Thank you for serving our nation. A fellow vet.
Thank you for your service
Once again, OL aliens hold a mirror up to us Humans, and the reflection it gives is pretty unflattering... A TV series that was inspiring, and definitely ahead of its time.
This episode fascinated me as a child. Humans want to colonize the planet Antheon, believed to harbor no life. But there is life on Antheon but it exists in a manner we can't detect with our natural senses. The Antheon alien is not a monster, it's a form of conscious force that is shaped by our thoughts. It's only a monster if we want it to be so. The life that exists on Antheon can be our friend or our enemy, that choice will be made when we humans learn to love each other first, before we reach for the stars.
Well lucky for the universe astronauts arent ever going any further than Mars, Jupiter or Saturn...if ever that far.
Reminds me the Hindu mythology made popular by Oppenheimer’s statement about the bomb. Vishnu takes on the countenance of destruction, “Now I am become death destroyer of worlds.” Vishnu may become anything. It’s up to those who call upon him.
@@Bootmahoy88 I'm so glad you mentioned mythology. These stories of how our inner ugliness can be reflected back on us, are as old as storytelling itself - and still true.
@@STho205 pure conjecture. We don't even know what will happen next year. There is no proof that humans cannot reach those places or go even further. Just like this Outer Limits episode, it depends more on whether we learn to live with eachother despite our inner demons than anything else.
@@FredPlanatia it is purer conjecture that humans in your lifetime will go any further than the Apollo crews. So far in 60 years of manned space flight, many trillions of dollars, three superpowers and 12 nations... nobody has. Those that did ...accomplished that 50 years ago with full coordinated US efforts. Nothing since except hanging out in high altitude Earth flight.
I hope they do, but to hope for that is different than making a logical argument...it is an appeal to wishful thinking for proof...which is a logical fallacy
It cracks me up . . aliens that don't bite heads off, are still scary, and lecture us about what buffoons and lowlifes we are. I love it. When I first saw these as an 8 or 9 year old, I didn't care for the preaching stuff but I probably didn't fully understand it. Now I can't get enough . . . I would love to communicate with those kinds of aliens. I would overwhelm'em with questions. They would lecture me, "Foolish human, you are good but you are driving us out of our minds . . "
"Can your alien super computers and minds...runs doom? And Crysis?"

That was excellent - I hope we can see the full episode soneday.
Both seasons have been on DVD for years !

Happy ending that's it

Nobody but NOBODY did monsters better than ‘The Outer Limits’.

The actor with the gun is Michael Constantine. He looked the same age in this 1964 episode of The Outer Limits as he did when he played "Gus" in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" in 2002.
What kind of pickle juice has he been sitting in all these years?
@@bugstomper4670 windex of course!
@TurnedLeftAtTheRockyMountains He really stole all the scenes!

@@johngranato2673 Oh yeah now we're talkin. I always like me some o' dat Karen Valentine.
These shows always had a good message to learn from in the end.
I loved watching this show as a child ; although some episodes gave me nightmares for awhile after seeing them ! Still I like how each began and ended with a hopeful message. Some episodes still resonate even after almost 60 years after broadcasting. Thanks for posting my favorite series TH-cam ! Maybe you can do The Twilight Zone, One Step Beyond, Science-Fiction Theater, and Thriller hosted by the late Boris Karloff ?That would be awesome ! :-)
Brilliant back then, but dated today, But still find myself watching the re runs on ch 82.
Still some of the greatest cinimatic and sound arrangement work ever achieved in a classic tv series. So much exceptional writing,direction,and technical work by invloved.
Principal Kaufman sure mellowed out later !!!

"I'm a newspaper man, I deal in fact not fantasy"
You make your own monsters! Few truer words have ever been said.
Hey R.S.!! 🎯👏. There has been a million “ Truisms “ since the Good Ole Pyramid days! But most recent,”… if you want to look at the GUILTY Party- All you have to do is Look into a Mirror.”- V- for Vendetta Speech! NRN. God Bless. 👴🏼NoBody. PS- Shame too that all the Past Writings / Sci-Fi/ Fictions & Authors 📚 WARNING Us on Future Atrocities and Machiavelli Political Agendas- will Never be Read! Facybook would Ban/ Erase them & Substitute them with “ My Other Mommy has an Adams Apple Too “ & “ You Really Don’t Want a Capitalistic Social Security Retirement Fund” Collaring Grade School Book, or “ Ten Easy Steps to be a Great Marxist “! 😂.

From ABC-TV's "THE OUTER LIMITS", this episode, "Counterweight", first aired on December 26, 1964, and was written by Milton Krimms, Jerry Sohl, and Leslie Stevens (uncredited), and directed by Paul Stanley, who also directed "Second Chance" during the series' first season (1963-64). "Counterweight" wasn't exactly one of the greater episodes of "THE OUTER LIMITS", but it still managed to deliver sensible scenes, and a great moody scene and feel, typical of the sci-fi anthology's look and design. "THE FUGITIVE" stars, Jacquelin Scott and Micheal Constantine, who both appeared in that ABC/Quinn Martin show's final two-parter, "The Judgment" in 1967, were among the guest stars of "Counterweight", along with Sandy Kenyon, Shary Marshall, Larry Ward, Crahan Denton, Stephen Joyce, and Charles H. Radiliac. Robert Johnson, a Daystar Productions account, voiced many of the creatures on "OUTER LIMITS" (and in "THE CAGE", Desilu's first "STAR TREK" production, who voiced some of The Talosians who captured "Capt. Pike") and he also voiced "The Antheon" plant being in this episode. Robert Johnson would go on to play the mysterious voice on a tape recorder, instructing "Briggs" and "Phelps" on their assignments on CBS's "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" (1966-1973). "Counterweight" also used stock footage from Paramount Pictures' "WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE" (1951), since the second season of "THE OUTER LIMITS" was filmed at Paramount Sunset.
I forgot to mention, that at the end of the "Counterweight" episode, all the actors were individually credited twice, and, that this was the only time that such a sequence was ever used in the ABC series.
If I recall correctly, there is little of Harry Lubin’s music in this episode-most of it is stock music perhaps (?). Always liked voice actor Robert Johnson for his work in “Corpus Earthling”, “The Guests” and “Fun and Games”. One thing I noticed is that the electronic sounding “roar” associated with the Antheon being is reminiscent of the box blob in “Don’t Open Till Doomsday”.
Jacqueline Scott also guest-starred in the Daystar-United Artists TV pilot, "PLEASE STAND BY" in 1962, that later became the debut episode, "The Galaxy Being".
In its second season, Leslie Stevens was paid off and forced out of the production of OUTER LIMITS; ABC's people, led by Ben Brady, took over in toto and changed everything that the fans loved about it.
@@mikedoran9851 I'm a great fan of the second season of The Outer Limits, the acting and the episodes were very good and Harry Lubins music was fantastic!!!!!
You gotta respect the way the way the shooter is “helping” the bullets fly out of the gun as he shots them. I just know that the bullets fly a little bit faster because of that! Lol
"Hollywood marksmanship"
LMAO!!!!!!
"I'm whatever I wish to be seen as, by you".
Good choice buddy.
I think the movie creators of that time had a secret agreement to prevent people from learning how to actually use a gun, so they had the actors make stabbing motions with them.
The character of Dix as portrayed by Michael Constantine is a brash, impulsive, spur-of-the-moment type individual. That would be my rationale as to why he fires a gun idiotically.
It makes the bullets go faster.
Oh my. I loved these shows. Plus the old Twilight Zone's
Wonderful episode it shows that love is the deciding factor on if we as a race of people will see the light or stay ignorant.
Love this show so much, better than 99.99% of the pure garbage shown on TV nowadays!
Agreed 💯 percent, since the 1980s, most television has gone to Hell!!!!!
@@scottmiller6495 Double agreed. I dislike all this fake looking CGI effects that make them look cartoonish.
An excellent message at the end.
The love we withhold is the pain we carry. 🖖👽✌
😨 0:38 Oh Noooooo ! It's My Collège Chemistry Teacher ! 😨
One of my favorite childhood sci-fi shows.
Disembodied alien from planet Antheon appearing in the form of a plant is voiced by the great Robert Johnson who supplied several alien voices for “Outer Limits”.
Need more Outer Limits!!
Hi Britt how are you doing 😊
@@allysonhanks9159 doing well thanks
@@BrittMcmahon nice to hear Britt, thanks for writing back. I’m Allyson from LA. What about you if i may ask?
@@allysonhanks9159 why are you interested?
@@BrittMcmahon It would be nice to know you more and maybe we could share some common interests. I know it’s strange how we met but strange things happen and sometimes they become the best we least expect. Hope you don’t mind?
The alien should have had a female voice: "Hi, my name is Fern."
Well Michael Constantine finally realized decades back this isn't my Greek fat wedding
He also decided he’d be better off being a high school principal.
Hi how are you doing 😊
"Starlight" - 3 actors and 4 actresses find themselves having to replay classic iconic characters of theirs from their respective anthology shows, this time however, they are all in the same situation, and enthralled by an Alien Movie director's bizarre, stupendous plot, and stuck on a movie making space station. Rod Serling guest stars as 'the alien movie director'. Just a fun thought I had.
The best part of an otherwise dull episode. The one holdover from the first season is that aliens are portrayed as sage, benign and philosophical.
Mr. Alien, Esau's words are smooth as butter but war is in his rotten soul.
Feed me, SEYMOUR!
"Welcome to the island of misfit toys..." oops.
Anyway, I'm sure that is voice actor Stan Francis, who does Santa and the winged Lion in the 1964 Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer.
Edit: elsewhere in the comments somebody identifies the voice as being done by someone else. I don't know; sounds alot like Stan to me.
In other news, I felt this was one of the better "bears" that the show came up with, even if the episode was not.
Exactly what thought. Sounds just like him...but sinister.
More full episodes please
I thought I had every one of these practically memorized to but I don’t even remember this one.
I am seeing shows that seem to me more recently made, with special effects. Always good monsters great makeup.
. . . we now return control of your television set to you.
Preachy but still outstanding entertainment - awe and mystery combined...
“I’m a newspaper man I deal in fact not fantasy…” Guess he doesn’t work for Fox…
Fox doesn't publish newspapers.
@@michaelproctor8100 FOX owns The New York Post.
Certainly this particular episode is included in my ten most impressive . Repressed traumas and insecurities are elicited and then tackled after the passengers on a simulated space flight are affected by an intrusive and intimidating alien presence .
This is exactly what will happen if we ever make the mistake of teaching penguins how to use jumper cables.
I have no idea what that means but it made me laugh!
Good anthology show.
Great intro theme.
If only that newspaper man could work in these times 😏😉. He'd be an excellent fantasy writer lol
New to TOL?
Be sure to check out episode "Demon with a Glass Hand" starring Robert Culp and written by Harlan Ellison.
0:14 He didn’t push the bullets out of the gun hard enough.
loved this episode
The alien's voice sounds like King Moonracer from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!
The dude with the gun is Michael Constantine. I got to know Thea Constantine, his theater daughter and her man Stephan Arngrim, actor. Thea is the best actor I have ever known and t.v. passed her by. Often t.v. is wrong. The above Outer Limits script is transcendent. Stephan's sister is the nasty girl on Little House...Nellie? Stephan did Land of the Giants, another Irwin Allen joint.
I know Constantine as the principal in Room 222!
@@georgehenderson7783 Karen Valentine played the hot teach.
@@PunchBuggyDreams She sure did! And pure as the driven snow!
I hope I don't have nightmares tonight after watching this!
All time favorite syfy show.
do bullets ever work against aliens?
Errr...uhhhh.....I guess fake bullets won't.
only if made of kryptonite
Probably my favorite episode because it was the first I ever saw. I was in kindergarten. I was five years old. My four year old cousin and I were transfixed. The episode scared both if us. It was 1971. The show was in reruns by that time. Of course, I have many favorite episodes, but this is my favorite among favorites.
Another second season episode that had really great potential to be something truly deep and misses. It's not terrible, but I would have liked to have seen Rod Serling take a crack at this script.
Really what it simply needed was a rewrite by Joseph Stefano.
@@michaelschramm1064 That works for me too
Yes but however, the second season was not as scary but the episodes were very good and inspiring plus Harry Lubins music was extremely good!!!!!
@@scottmiller6495 Well, when I watched them back in the 60s at my young age, I quit watching after the third episode of the second season having found that they were missing an element that was there in the first. I found the stories to be no better than the creature features I watched with my dad on Saturday nights. Not even my friends were watching whereas the first season had always prompted much talk in school the next day.
Decades later when they became available on DVD, I bought them and binge-watched. My opinion of the second season did not change although I did find a few that had better stories.
Lubin's music was just a rip-off of the score he wrote for 'One Step Beyond'. There's nothing wrong with that, but it was only barely original.
@@hungfao Very interesting observation and well respected, many people feel that way and with changes in management for the second season it changed! However several great episodes without as many scary monsters with moral stories stand out for me like:The Inheritors, Soldier, Cry of Silence, Premonition and The Probe! These second season episodes with some really great actors and actresses did a very nice job and I frequently watch them, of course this is only my humble opinion, Thank you!
📌 It's funny that all of these aliens somehow speak English quite well.🍿😂
Every now and again in this dialog, you can hear Ed Wood.
Now I know what inspired the preachy aliens on The Simpsons. I'm sure that alien cultures are screwed-up at least as badly as our own...
I like how he doesn't aim.
Edd Starr. Very philosophical.
Can see this episode on pluto tv I never seen this episode of outer limits looks awesome can’t wait to see it
Mr. Kaufman from 'Room 222,' fighting claymation and puppets on 'Outer Limits.'
The monster sounds like the voice of King Moonracer on Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
Such a time will never come America destroyed the world no religion can predict that's a fact
Someone should have told Michael Constantine that pushing the gun forward with each shot doesn't make the bullets travel any faster.... he's also obviously a terrible shot....
It’s the high-strung, impulsiveness of the character Dix as interpreted by Constantine.
Actually it would
We are spiritual creatures living a human ( animal) experience. Some are genetically inclined animals that do not have intellectual capacity to educate & elevate themselves to the spiritual state of morality. On more advanced universal cultures, willful ignorance brings a life sentence & confinement to planet earth. Those on earth who live moral lives return to their heavenly origin when their animal vessels expire.
And the low level humanoids, as always, ruled by the same weak ego, idiotic greed and self delusions! We came to your planet in search of Intelligent Life. Oops...we made a mistake 😹 👽 💫
That one gal's hairdo is terrifying.
Yes, poor Jacqueline Scott. Her stylist did a far better job with her hair for the series pilot, “The Galaxy Being”.

Micheal Constantine and Graham Denton!
deverian pasarlas todo el episodio.
The alien is the voice of Santa Clause in Rudolph.
The voice of the “antheon” was supplied by outer limits voice actor Robert Johnson.
pasen ese episodio completo.
And is that Jacqueline Scott?
aleinn expairimänned cäusys hispänic... but vvätt -?-
TV Serie with brains...but sometimes the acting could have been a bit better!
Notice how the scared man shoots the revolver. Pushing the gun forward ain't gonna make the bullets get there faster (or accurately) bro! Totally camp film but looks good for a smoke induced fugue.
Jacqualine Scott was great in the first OL episode but she was all wrong for this character. Totally miscast.😮
T-shirt's available in the lobby...
Wow, he fired six shots and the gun was empty
One of the more accurate TV series.
This is season 3, episode 14 - "Counterweight", not season 2.
There is no season 3. There is barely even a season 2, just 17 episodes.

0:01 - 0:20 some nice stop motion animation handled by Jim Danforth or Al Hamm at the studio Project Unlimited, Inc.
Danforth has stated more than once: "The plant creature was not my design, and it's quite difficult to animate a puppet you don't find aesthetically pleasing, especially when you must concentrate on it for hours at a time."
Then I suppose it must have been Al Hamm or more favourably Ralph Rodine who animated the Antheon plant. What we do know for sure is that Jim was working as a visual effects assistant/technician at Project Unlimited during the early 1960s, firstly in hand with stop motion animation and as the years progressed he most likely would've learnt a few tricks in the camera from the three men responsible for bringing many memorable movies to screen.
