January 14, 2025: Tuesday already?!

After banging my forehead on the bathroom counter while putting towels away the other day and suffering my second head injury in about a month, Akemi has threatened to make me start wearing a helmet around the house.

A great article on the state of the entertainment industry –

Your Hollywood Career.  How to Tell When the End is Nigh

My favorite quote: “The problem is that just as reading was once considered too taxing, now watching a video longer than 34 seconds is hard. Have you seen young people try to watch a movie? It’s like asking them to sit through Mass on the Easter Vigil.”

Love this – yet another Sharky-themed gif from JenBlood this one with a Dark Matter twist –

Thursday, I head back to Montreal to take care of mom and give my sister a break, then back on Monday ahead of a pre-pitch for that action-adventure series we’ll be taking out…probably after my Japan trip.  Speaking of which, I have borrowed a bunch of Japanese language audiobooks from my local library and am brushing up ahead of Tokyo/Osaka.  Dansu ga suki desu ka?  Do you like to dance?  I had a wonder time!  Tanoshikatta desu yo!  Dessert!  Dezato!  Ice cream!  Aisu kurimu!

P.S. Making a concerted effort to remind myself that it is 2025 as I update this blog.

January 13, 2025: The Outer Limits rewatch continues with season 2, episodes 5-8!

Season 2, Episode 5 “Demon with a Glass Hand”

This episode was first broadcast October 17, 1964

“Demon with a Glass Hand” made #73 on TV Guide’s 2009 ranking of TV’s 100 Greatest Episodes.

This was author Harlan Ellison’s second script for the series, one he wrote with actor Robert Culp in mind. Ellison ended up winning two awards for the script: the Writers Guild of America Award and the Georges Melies Fantasy Film Award.

This episode was shot in the Bradbury Building which was also the location for the final scenes of both D.O.A. and Blade Runner.

Spoiler alert! There is no actual demon in this episode. Ellison just put one in the title to satisfy the network’s insistence on seeing a monster (aka bear) every episode.

Ellison’s first draft saw the pursuit take place cross country as an homage to North by Northwest, but it was deemed to expensive so Ellison was convinced to rewrite the script to take place in a single location. Said Ellison: “The amazing thing to me was that no one
objected to the complexities of the story until the
network got involved, and then it was stuff like, ‘Will
the viewer understand these people are from the future?’ The real problem with the plot was physical; it was a chase in a linear fashion.“ As a result, the chase played out vertically rather than horizontally. “It was a very important lesson to me,”said Ellison. “You could make the action more intense by enclosing it, and providing no escape.“

Ellison was a stickler when it came time to rewriting to the location: “You know the scene where Culp races the elevator? I did that to see if it could be done. I found the only way you could beat that damned elevator to the ground floor was to j ump from the first floor landing. I did it and landed on my left leg so hard I fractured my ankle.”

And he wasn’t the only one. Robert Culp’s stunt double, Dean Smith, broke both his ankle jumping down a flight of stairs.

Ellison had also originally envisioned Trent’s potential love interest quite differently: “I had written her into the script as a black woman. The network said she couldn’t
be black. ‘Why not?’ I said, and they answered, ‘Because it’s relevant! We did relevance last year and it didn’t work ! ‘ So I said, ‘How about making her a Puerto Rican?’ ‘NO ! ‘ Finally, she wound up as some sort of nameless Middle European, and they gave her a
blonde wig. But Arline Martel played it as a Chicana.“

To add insult to injury, dialogue related to Trent and Consuelo’s budding relationship was cut. Ellison recalled: “Most of the buildup of the feelings of romance between them was left out. And now, that one scene looks silly – she suddenly blurts out ‘I think I’m falling in love with you’ to Trent, and everybody laughs.“

Director Byron Haskin was amazed with the results: “By far, ‘Demon’ was the finest show of the second season. I was amazed that it c am e through, considering our
budget . . .or lack of a budget.“

Actor Robert Culp thought highly of Haskin: “Byron was like Santa Claus without the beard. The sweet, cherubic, sly little elf – but one who knew absolutely what he was doing and where to put the camera. He also knew how to get the very best there was to get out of a story i n science fiction terms.“

Culp and Ellison met on the set of this episode and developed a long-lasting friendship. According to Ellison in an interview he did: “I thought Culp was hot. But I’d never met him. The first night of shooting at the Bradbury, I walked up to the third floor, which was pitch-dark. And there, sitting in a little culde-sac was Culp, reading a book on pre-Colombian art. That knocked me out, since most of the actors I’d met before were dips, purely non composmentis . And Culp and I have been friends ever since. To this day he still wants to make ‘Demon’ as a feature film . . . but so much time has passed that he no longer wants to star in it. Now he wants to direct it. ”

For his part, Culp recalled: “The night we started the shoot, Harlan Ellison came on the set, introduced himself to me, and announced in a very loud voice that he had written this specially for me. I fell in love with this guy the second I heard him talk. He was a total outlaw and looked like he was on something – but he wasn’t on anything, never had been. It’s the endorphins that work overtime in Harlan.“

Producer Ben Brad took great pride in this episode: “I think that ‘Demon’ certainly was the best show of our season, while ‘The Inheritors’ was the most ambitious.”

My favorite Outer Limits episode to date. It’s chock full of wonderfully weird SF elements (the incomplete computer glass hand, the description of the time travel as an elastic band pulled taut that snaps the traveler back to their time zone once their tech is yanked). Great performances, terrific direction, a compelling script, and a final twist I did not see coming. This one played out like a mini movie and at no point did I roll my eyes or impatiently check the time. Brilliant.

Season 2, Episode 6 “Cry of Silence”

This episode was first broadcast October 24, 1964

The first draft of this episode was written by Milton Krim, and the response from the production was last than enthusiastic. Assistant to the producer B. Ritchie Payne described the first time director Charles F. Haas read the script: “After every fifth page Charlie would look up at me and say, ‘We’re gonna shoot this? And this?’ I said, ‘Stop bitching, Charlie – we’ve got Eddie Albert, and we’ve got Gypsy Rose Lee’s sister, what more do you need?’ And Haas said, ‘We need a good story – and this ain’t it!‘ Eventually, the script was handed off to Robert C. Dennis who turned around a satisfactory draft in four days.

Actress June Havoc, who played Karen Thorne, was the sister of famed burlesque performer Gypsy Rose Lee. The two girls were pushed into show business by their domineering mother, debuting in vaudeville when they were aged 5 (June) and 6 (Gypsy). Havoc found onstage success in My Paul Joey opposite Van Johnson and Gene Kelly. All three earned studio contracts but unlike her male counterparts, she was relegated to B movie roles. Later in her career, she became a playwright and director.

Havoc threw a party for the cast and crew after this episode wrapped, paying for the whole thing out of her own pocket.

Eddie Albert, who played Andy Thorne, is best remembered for his starring role on Green Acres (1965) opposite Eva Gabor.

Arthur Hunnicutt, who played Lamont, is fondly remembered by Twilight Zone fans as the heaven-bound dog-lover Hyder Simpson in the TZ episode “The Hunt”. June Havoc recalled Hunnicutt suffering for his art: “That poor man. They put things in his eyes to make them look milky. He could only keep them on a short time, and was in such pain that tears were running down his face.“

Apparently, the plan was to throw live frogs at the actors in one sequence but the frogs proved so uncooperative and elusive that the production had to create fake frogs.

If you can get past the silliness of the sneaky and vicious tumbleweeds, it’s not a terrible script. The cast was great and Haas’ direction quite good, but “Demon with a Glass Hand” is a hard act to follow. Overall, not a bad episode, but yet another that won’t be making my Top 10. A special shout out to the stunt department for that tumble down the mountainside that I thought quite well-executed.

Season 2, Episode 7 “The Invisible Enemy”

This episode was first broadcast October 31, 1964

Not much love for this episode from its perpetually negative makers. Director Byron Haskin reflected: “There was nothing to it. They handed me thi s dog with no cast and no script, just lousy. Of course we had to
shoot it; they had it on the schedule, and it was coming like a railroad train down the track, and you’ve gotta get out there, start firing, and do the fucking thing in four days. God!“ Haskin did some further whining about the cast. He felt Adam West “was an adequate actor capable of small roles. It was the supporting cast that was poorly chosen.”

Adam West, who played Major Charles Merritt, is best known for his portrayal of Batman in the beloved 60’s t.v. series. Prior to filming this Outer Limits episode, he had a small role in the movie Robinson Crusoe on Mars.

The sand sharks were one of the cheapest creatures created for the show. It was actual a single puppet poking its head out of a pool of water full of scattered floating cork. The scenes of the creature were shot separately and much later. As a result, the actors and creature are never tied into the same shots.

Writer Jerry Sohl described the episodes as Jaws on Mars: “But the way it came off on Outer Limits was
ludicrous because you saw the monster right off the bat. In the story, you didn’t know what was killing those people until the very end.” I sympathize with Jerry here. I recall always getting network notes from executives confused by elements of the script. “Why does he do this?” “Why does this happen?” You find out pages later, but it didn’t matter because they needed immediate answers to all of their questions.

Producer Ben Brady bemoaned yet another subpar episode, blaming the script: “Eventually the script was passed around to the point where it became manhandled. It was not good and needed a lot of extra pencil work. Even I wrote some of it, which was the last thing I wanted to do.” Furthermore: “[Director] Haskin saved what could be salvaged.”

“Th e script was bad beyond reason,”agreed Haskin. “Totally without cohesion. If I’d gone ahead and directed it as originally written, the show would not have been aired. I had to sit up all night and rewrite it. After 28 hours at the typewriter, I tore it apart and brought it up to a fine mediocre. Only a disorganized production team could let something so terrible survive long enough to warrant a full production job.“

Writer Jerry Sohl was informed he would not be permitted to write another script after this one. Said Sohl: “I have nothing against any of the people on the show – only that they exhibited the syndrome so many TV people do when they discover science fiction: They think it ‘ s an invention of their own and don’t pay attention to what anyone who has followed it over the years can tell them. If The Outer Limits stirs the imagination of youngsters the way Science and Invention boggled their minds back in the 1 920s, then it is certainly a positive thing, even though we might carp about how i t was put together.“

Did not hate this one. Yes, the creature was all sorts of cheesy but it was, after all, the 60’s. Love the idea of Jaws on Mars and the sand sharks that predated Dune’s sand worms by a year. I think that this one would make a great updated high-concept feature.

Season 2, Episode 8 “Wolf 359”

This episode was first broadcast November 7, 1964

Wolf 359 is a star located 7.7 light years from Earth. Star Trek fans will recall that it was the site of a monumental battle between the forces of the United Federation of Planets and the Borg Collective. 39 Federation starships were lost.

This episode was originally a treatment titled “Greenhouse” by Richard Landau, co-writers of The Quartermass Xperiment (1955). The teleplay was written by series story editor Seeleg Lester.

This episode was brilliantly parodied in The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror VII segment “The Genesis Tub”.

Actor Patrick O’Neal, who played Jonathan Meredith, appeared in The Twilight Zone episode “A Short Drink from a Certain Fountain”.

Actress Sara Shane, who I thought did a pretty good job here as Ethel Meredith, had surprisingly few screen credits and ultimately left show business to pursue a career in holistic medicine.

Absolutely love the premise of this episode but, for me, the execution wasn’t wholly successful as I didn’t really feel that the cool sci-fi set-up of the accelerated alien world didn’t really mesh with the malevolent being. The latter felt tacked on to me and I wouldn’t be surprised to learn it was added to satisfy the network’s episodic bear (monster) requirement. Two odd instances stood out for me. The first was the barbecue scene where, yet again in a 1960’s anthology series, we are treated to characters cooking the hell out of their steaks. He’s flipping those steaks that look close medium-well and then he says they have to cook for another 3-4 minutes! Another moment that stood out for me was the scene of the Merediths in bed. I have mentioned how couples were never depicted sleeping in the same bad back in the 60’s and how The Twilight Zone avoided this issue by depicting the characters fully clothed, suggesting they had simply passed out after a late night bender – yet in this episode, they’re clearly sleeping in the same bed. Or are they? Turns out that, technically, they’re not. According to David J. Schow in The Outer Limits Companion: “Director Laslo Benedek found a novel way to circumvent the censor’s rule of thumb requiring even married couples to sleep in twin beds on TV at that time. He pushed the beds to within a foot of each other and shot the bedroom very darkly, so the viewer can just barely perceive the gap separating them. It looks like Jonathan and Ethel are sharing a queensize .
