I've noticed Outer Limits often rehashes old Sci-Fi. This episode blatantly treads upon one of my favorite classics Forbidden Planet. (The fore-runner of Star Trek)? It's a bit disappointing really. A great premise... Monsters from the Id, This really wasn't an improvement on the original.

Nicole de Boer playing a psychic working on a remote viewer project on steroids, four years before she plays the ex-fiance of psychic Johnny Smith on The Dead Zone who also work for a secret government agency in one episode as a remote viewer, and a machine that can transfer mental energy into physical form and creating an invisible monster, much like the story line from the 1956 movie Forbidden Planet.After seeing Nicole de Boer in several television show over the years, it's almost like she's not aging. She's in an episode of Forever Knight from 1992, and watching her in an episode of Stargate: Atlantis from 2008, she looks exactly the same. A pretty lady.

Congratulations, you just learned (some)how to (barely) crush a block that's right in front of you. FYI you're now expected to (immediately) become assassins (illegal, but using a presidential order?) and kill a guy thousands of miles away. Really? Don't even wanna build up to it? And hey you know what, we can put a camera across his table to watch him, but it would be too difficult to snipe him? Really? And why always after the heart? Wouldn't a brain be easier to mush than a pumping muscle? Believability isn't what they're going for with this one. The episode is alright if you can ignore all that.
