I remember years ago reading a Starlog magazine interview with writer Joseph Stefano. He said he got the idea for this episode after seeing a stage hand carrying a huge electric lightbulb past his office door. "There's our next episode!", he exclaimed.
I subscribed to Starlog as, primarily to track the progress of the Star Trek TMP. Yeah, I’m that old.
@@iveslewis108 Starlog's "Star Trek Report" was written by David Gerrold. Yeah, I'm just as old.
I remember another Outer Limits episode with two white astronauts and one black astronaut. None of the characters thought this was unusual. You see how forward-thinking science fiction was.
- I've seen ones (scify movies) with apes as astronauts. How's that for forward thinking?
You will notice that this is a common theme in the Sci-Fi genre. As it's all set in the future, no-one bats an eyelid
@@mydogbrian4814 LOL!
I believe this is that episode
But where are the TRANS astronauts?
I forgot about this episode. Happy to see a part of it again. One thing I am amazed at is how so many space missions in cinema have people going into space who are mentally unfit and unstable and with animus to other crew members. It's good for drama but so unrealistic.
UNREALISTIC? REALLY? You must have forgotten the story of Lisa Nowak -- a true story.
But you never know when that cerebral chip will malfunction....
@@peterwexler5737 she went crazy after she came back lol
@@greenkoopa Because she had been to...The Outer Limits!
Travel to Mars in six months best shot time frame exposed to radiation during and after, in tight quarters. A real scenerio for backlash. And Lisa K. lost her friggin mind from instant rage, Depend diapers in stow in a car.
“ This show along with ‘The Twilight Zone’ and ‘Alfred Hitchcock Presents’ were so important because you had to watch them when they were televised… nobody could own or see these shows anytime they wanted.”
I like these old timey sci fi effects better than the new ultra CGI. They had something hard to capture: sense of wonder. They had alot of actual scifi writers doing scripts too.
- It wasn't better. It was the newness of the Scify genra. Like the first 1933 King Kong was better than the next 3 post 1970 remakes.
Today, instead of wonder and novelty, film makers try to repeat the success of previous films. Imagination has become too risky, with many millions on the line and a ton of stakeholders. Same thing happened to pop music.
Another fav Outer Limits from my childhood! The eyeballs!!
Pretty impressive how they used slow motion to simulate the effect of low gravity on the moon, it actually looks quite close to the real thing
It wasn't film slow motion; the actors just moved slow. If you watch the sand move around their feet, it was normal movement.
That's one small step for a man, one giant ping pong ball for mankind!! 😆😅😂🤣
The movies from this era too me were the best !
I watched this as a little boy back in 1960's with fascination of seeing a scary scene of a little orb and a big orb with eyes. The big one with many eyes was the one that scared the heck out of me then and I was a 7 y/o boy then borned in 1957. Seeing this decades later just mesmerized my mind and digged out alot of boyhood memories and today in 2024 laugh at myself of being scared of this classic scary TV series back then for most people watching it.
This episode is one of my top 5 from Outer Limits. God I love Dominic Frontier's compositions for this outstanding show (from 976-CREOLEMAN)!
Funny how the surface of the Moon was visualized in the early 1960's ... only six years before the actual first landing. I remember the old Hayden Planetarium in NY City had a lunar vista with jagged mountains similar to the set of this Outer Limits episode. It was a surprise to many how eroded and smooth the lunar ridges and mountains actually proved to be once lunar landers followed by actual astronauts landed there to see the Moon for real. People assumed because there is no wind or water flowing, the mountains would be jagged. They didn't realize that billions of years of microscopic meteorite impacts, that would make it to the Moon's surface easily since there is no atmospheric friction to make them burn up as with Earth, eroded and rounded out the lunar mountains no differently than the oldest mountain ranges on Earth are eroded away by the flow of water and wind from the original jagged peaks they first were hundreds of millions of years ago when they first formed. Example: the smooth rounded Appalachians today versus what they first looked like 300 million years ago -- they would have looked like the Alps if not the Himalayas that long ago.
They did not think that micro-meteors hitting the Moon over millions of years would weather it.
Well, a flat sandy set would look pretty boring...the sharp rocks are to give the sense of being in a dangerous hazardous environment...added drama.
The interesting thing is not many people considered that the absence of wind means that the lunar dust is sharp...like tiny diamonds..& its harsh on equipment
I remember when they imagined people/beings living on the moon, and vast different landscapes.
Everything of the moon came from the earth.
The Parts And Dust Of The Planet That Wasn't Absorbed Into *THE BALL OF ICE THAT CREATED OUR OCEANS!*
*Large Ball Of Ice The Size Of Mars, Crashes With The Small Planet THEA!*
Creating The Land And Core Of The Earth, On That Ball Of Ice.
*Impossible for meteors to deliver that much water.*
@@jefflockaby702 I suppose, though the Appalachians are still very grand looking and still have a good variety of shapes and contortions. It's just that they no longer look like the Alps.
Others have already mentioned perceived deficiencies in some sets used throughout the series but, really, the sets or even the settings used in these episodes doesn't really matter. It's the message of the story that is the real focus.
They solved a bunch of audio problems by the dark bands on the visors covering their mouths.
Did you know the sphere/alien spaceship featured in the "Moonstone" episode of The Outer Limits, was actually an old Beverly Hills streetlamp? 😆 Having seen this clip, the second astronaut who talks condescendingly to the general is obviously an unstable man. TOL featured humans who were the real enemy rather than the aliens themselves.
Condescending you mean like Bones on star trek? (Dr. McCoy)
@@mydogbrian4814 Yes, something like that. OL took a lot of B-movie, film noir, & gothic ideas to the next level. It's still gripping 59
years later. 🚀
Great upload thank you
Love this show ❤️
Smile - the orb 'borrowed' for the re-making of The Day The Earth Stood Still. I swear that modern screen-writers simply pilfer these old shows (and their writers - John Wyndham, Heinlein, Asimov, Matheson and more) for their ideas.
What the episode director famously said: “Bring on the street lamp!”
I guess it's a good thi8ng that they just happened to have a rope on board and just happened to have it with them. A rope is essential equipment when on the moon!
When I was seven, I even had the Outer Limits board game. I called this episode the Eyeball People. I loved The Outer Limits. Later in life, My youngest loved an episode he called The Ant 'Tings. Anybody care to guess which episode that was?
The Zanti Misfits
Ant Eye creature was a guest of a famous Jonny Quest episode.
I want the board game, do they still make it ?
Sally got it, the Zanti misfits
An Outer Limits board game sounds so cool, as cool as The Zanti Misfits.
I remembered parts of this one from all those years ago-obviously an alien ping pong ball.
Amazing when it is now evident that there are minute orbs flying about and captured in video filming and in the sky ?
Hoodoos on the Moon! It reminds me of Drumheller.
WHERE IS THE FULL EPISODE OF THIS????🤔
He's got the whole moon in the palm of his hands. He's got the whole moon in his hands...and a copy of "DESTINY" from Amazon Kindle in his back pocket.:)
So they found the Loc-Nar?
wonder if they had left the small globe buried, would their enemy have found them?
Hortas on the moon?
What's with the bumping sounds -- didn't anyone tell the producers there can't be any sound on the lunar surface?
The 2 guys going to help him walked so slowly. Almost like they were thinking.. "lets go pull the dumbass out". It probably wasn't the first time.
A ping pong ball !!! For GIANTS !!!!
Where's Tweeky when you need him 🤷🏼♂️🤖🤓😎✌🏻
Oh wow.....a lunar egg!
This was one of the dodgier episodes ethically - it was okay for Alec Nicol to incite an uprising in Korea and abandon those he stirred up to be killed because he had to survive for the greater good
Nice space sandals.
This just looks so wrong visually. It's better to pretend they are on some distant exoplanet instead of the moon.
Agreed…best to assume more or less Earth gravity levels.
Another hand touches the beacon. Hear me and obey.
00:45 Famolare wins the Nasa contract with their "Hi There" Wavy Heel Sandals.
Is this the episode with the first iPods? (Not joking). Been searching for that episode for years.
Is there a full episode of this?
They'll upload the full one in a few days, at least going by how they've been uploading
The music makes the show
Quick sand on the moon!?
This rather plodding, sci fi B-movie styled episode is what producer Joseph Stefano singled out as an example of how the series would lapse when it tried to become too “science fiction-y”.
the contrast with episodes like "Dont Open Till Doomsday" is pretty stark. "Galaxy Being" however was pure sci-fi and amazing.
@@jamesrav Writer-Producer Leslie Stevens was for me the best at handling the pure science fiction episodes. Besides “The Galaxy Being”, I’m also very taken by “The Borderland” and to some extent “Production and Decay of Strange Particles” because of his deft handling of hard science subject matter.
"Damn, we can't hear the actors voices with those stupid helmets! Then put black tape in front of their mouths so nobody can see what they're saying and we'll dub it in later."
"Give me that ball, I'm gonna sell it on eBay!"
If you were a resident of Beverly Hills in the early 1960's, you would have recognized the Moonstone for what it actually was....a globe from a streetlamp post!
Dang, Chinese balloons on the moon!
Saw The Whole Season 1 Episode 24 Moonstone,Shows Great Wisdom,To Conquer Great Maleolence ,You Must Use A Greater Amount of Wisdom
It's a oli keg from the 80s
STR8 CLASSIC
Leslie Steven's made one big mistake.
He started this show too late.
This show belonged to the 1950's with a bigger Sci - Fi audience.
T.O.L. would have lasted 5 or 6 years easy.
Actually, Outer Limits started out a success. But for its second season, the network suits in their infinite wisdom decided to move it from Tuesday night to Saturday night to face off in the same time slot against the tremendously popular Jackie Gleason Show. That was Outer Limits' death sentence.
@@jody6851 The suits also wanted to change the underlying philosophy of the episodes. I'd heard several stories but it seemed like the execs didn't understand the show and why couldn't the monster actually be a monster. I loved the whole first year. It was moody, dark, and frequently thought provoking. I was excited for the second year.
But Stevens wasn't interested in making stupid monster vignettes and left as did much of the creative team. Though I was very young I sensed the difference immediately. There was no real payoff at the conclusion of the episode. I no longer found myself dwelling on what I just saw. I felt like I had just watched a mini B-movie. My interest waned by the 3rd second year episode. My friends quit watching as well.
All of this and the move to Saturday against Gleason was more than the series could take. I will never understand why they did that. I think there was an article in TV Guide about this as well.
@@hungfao And so you switched to watching; *LOST IN SPACE!* 😁
@@mydogbrian4814 I do recall watching 'Lost In Space' when it first aired. Like most Irwin Allen productions the first several episodes were pretty good, but then it sunk in formulaic plot devices and narrative retreads. As a matter of fact, even some of the creatures were passed around to other Allen productions like 'Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea'. As for Outer Limits, I do recall deciding to go outside and play with friends who also grew dismayed with the direction the show was taking.
@@mydogbrian4814
My point exactly!
Lost In Space only ran for 2 and a half seasons.
Like T.O.L. it would have got more air time in the 1950's.
I always wondered what Sargon looked like !
I was more interested-in the appearance of THALASSA. 😉😁
Tic Tac US Navy reported recently...🛸🌍
More likely an alien's giant gum ball. Or a soccer ball left over from the final Galaxy Cup match played on the Moon between the Tau Ceti Titans and the Alpha Centauri Alpha Males.
@@jody6851 or someone forgot to eat their boiled egg
@@jody6851 Star trek 1960s Horta eggs . Recal the pizza bubble creature that lived under ground and tunneled.
🤣Very GOOD ! Should have been on the "Committee in congress" !!
Excellent episode.
Apparently you don't understand, Fear is what Creates Racists!
IS THAT A PILATES BALL 😮💨
please outer limits fans! so many episodes like this should be in color by kino lorber international who now own the rights
to seasons 1 & 2 b&w series available on blu-ray disc. it would be a great way to introduce it a new sci-fi audience of retro era television.
It’s Alan Shepard’s golf ball from Apollo 14!
A boring choice among many many possibilities for excerpts. The hows & whys are a little puzzling. could it really be a matter of boring taste.
0:45 Oh my God, socks and sandals! 😳
Totally inappropriate for walking on the moon.
Oh look, a beach ball maybe the Russians got here first!
You found my beach ball !
Great! Black men on the moon! Oh, wait! This is science fiction! Never mind!
He was there to serve the coffee.
So glad we finally got that moon base up and running. 😂😂😂 The notion of quicksand or hidden voids is one of the reasons I doubt the official moon landing story. If the lunar rover ventured far enough away to justify bringing it in the first place, that vehicle getting stuck and the astronauts being forced to walk back would theoretically be a death sentence.
"Doesn't look natural " 😆
It’s also funny the way they walk so slow on the moon like time is slowed down.
IKR? I suppose it was to mimic low gravity movement.
@@eyecomeinpeace2707 Which is the exact opposite of reality. Their weight being lighter because of the moon's low gravity, the actual moon explorers bounced around like jumping beans.
It looked like they had weighted shoes on to compensate for the low gravity which may account for their slow motion.
@@rodneydowney2561 Yes of course! I remember watching the Apollo astronauts on the moon doing that. One of them said that the only way to walk on the surface was to jump from one spot to another cuz it was easier than walking.
Is that all
1:18 I could never understand everyone moves so slowly...
People were slower back then
They should move slowly in dangerous and unfamiliar terrain. If they were running, all three would have fallen into the sandpit.
Gravity is weaker and things fall slower on the moon.
Move slowly and pretend you're on the moon 🌝
Giant ping pong ball 🏓
Birkenstocks at 0:45
we are a world of refugees Ukrainians now when I was a young South Vietnamese
Only 5 freaking minutes? This sucks!
Now that we know that human beings cannot live anywhere but on the earth, these old TV episodes lose their mysterious qualities.
lol, it's really funny how obvious it is when the push diversity in these old shows. it's so ham handed.
