The Outer Limits, the man who was never born part five

[dewfall56]

These shows do such a good job of laying out human nature in it's beauty and uglyness. Everything is a mirror on ourselves.

i thought i know her... look in imdb...she is Phyllis Van de Kamp!

[brucedavis76]

wish girls were like this in real life

[imaniguana]

Dude, poke her! She's looking for your bone!

[idak12]

He's right about the future we are heading there now. The oil companies will pollute the world, food companies will corrupt the food , wars will continue , politicians will do deals with big business and our planet will be a wasteland.

[mmcgarrett48]

This is science fiction for adults, not for silly kids and teenagers. This kind of serious acting, drama, dialogue and romantic music score is of a type that is woefully missing from TV's modern era. Martin Landau and Shirley Knight give superb performances in this episode ("The Man Who Was Never Born") of 'The Outer Limits' from the 1960s. Everything comes together so perfectly in it, as aforementioned. Don't expect anything quite this good from today's script writers and producers.

[xadam2dudex]

he won't make it back like the first astronaut time isn't a two way street

[Nabelnoir]

I come back and watch this episode from time to time just to see how young and beautiful Shirley Knight is.

[55oldspice]

The background music is perfect. Loved this episode.

[talk2malawyer]

sum1 tell me how dat hell does the woman character not giving birth to the army dude's son help save the universe??

[fredynek3]

the son will create a virus that will infect the hole earth. kinda like AIDS but like super AIDS

[JMfanboy]

AIDS is not a virus. HIV is.

[brandonheatlol]

[Docprank]

@fredynek3 Alien HIV?

[Jackalman99]

A cool ending would be if she saw the mutant as he is and fell in love with him anyway.

[talk2malawyer]

no way dat would be shit house. IMagine the monster having a fuck with her..

[Jackalman99]

that'd be cool too.  I'm a bit of a romantic, you're a bit of a perv.

[OrmEmber]

You could almost call this "The Runaway Bride Saves the Universe"......

[Twoblindmen2009]

this teachs morals unlike todays drivel even tough he knew what he knew he could,nt kill another human being

[Shair55]

PLEASE RECORD THE END! Like 2 see how this ends--thanks

[dreamybluemeany]

Hi Shair55 *waves*

If you look at my channel the sixth and final part can be found there.

[mickzerz15]

omg this is one of the best show ever!!!!!!!!!! in my opinion!!! well i was watching it in class and then i got attached to it!!!!!!!!!

[dufusbug]

The music, the stories, dialogue and camera angles are what made the Outer Limits so endearing to me...

[Nabelnoir]

@dufusbug That was the magic of Leslie Stevens and Conrad Hall

[irarube]

@Nabelnoir

and the great Dominic Frontiere's music

[Nabelnoir]

@irarube LOL...You know me! Actually I own the GNP Crecendo release of the original soundtrack on CD so I can just go to that for the cool Frontiere music.

[powergirl901]

Yes, Script Supervisor.

What you say about musical timing and placement is true and is totally missing from dramatic TV shows.

Something like Star Trek's "The Naked Time" has a score that builds these musical beats to this amazing climax before the ship achieves transwarp speed away from decaying planet psi 2000.

[powergirl901]

Dominic Frontiere's music really supports and defines the emotions here. In television he could function as a cut and paste hack, just pasting in music where needed like on Twelve

'O Clock High. Here he composed unique, touching pieces that are as good as TV ever got.

[BrimptonFopp]

Powergirl... you must be in the industry from which I came. You hit it right on the head. A beautiful touching piece of music...perfectly composed,placed and timed.With a real theme...connecting the viewer and drawing them closer into the story.Spielberg,Lucas and all the other hacks...TAKE NOTICE.

[unclepatrick2]

Producer Joseph Stafano started as a composer, and He encouraged the best work out of Frontiere.

[hiroteacher]

Martin landau makes this such a powerful episode.

I love the dialog here. It's beautiful and touching, without the type of "yeah right

oh that's so gay" hateful attitude of todays shows and people.

This is truely a classic episode of a great SciFi show.

[unclepatrick2]

Today producers forget that good Acting and good Scripts make for good televison

[scotpens]

And today's screenwriters have forgotten how to write dialogue. The classic Outer Limits episodes had some of the best dialogue ever written for a TV series. Today's writers and producers are afraid that anything too literary or poetic will be seen as pretentious by the audience -- "Nobody really talks like that." Anyone can write the way people really talk. It takes talent to write the way most of us WISH we could talk.

[MissMael]

Sniff, so romanic, so dramatic, so much soft light, on a man.

[ClamLuvr]

First person to comment! Hmm, what shall I say?

Nice opening scene in this clip. Looks like a Monet painting.
