Hulu - The Outer Limits - Original: Controlled Experiment

I thought this one was a pretty cute riff on the "martian anthropologist" trope of social science. But they really should have called it anthropology, because they were doing ethnographic observation rather than experimenting. Aside from that, a refreshing break in tone from the grim, rubber-suited antagonists this series is best known for.

Have a look at Caroll O'Connor in a very different role from his famous Archie Bunker of "All in the Family."

Otherwise, this episode is pretty much unwatchable.

This episode had a lot of potential. Typically fine acting, done with an uncharacteristically humorous style. The tedious repetitions of the murder ruined it for me. Maybe it would have been better if I'd been sitting in a lounge chair rather than at a computer.

Same guy was in an "I Spy" ep on Hulu. 0' Conner's fellow Martian had a TV series in the 70's too, "Space 1999" maybe.

I think it's clever Martian's trying to observe a murder. Atomic weapons probly brought alien attention for real though.
