Good episode, horrible message. It is so easy to write science gone mad, don't play god, leave well enough alone, type stories. Especially since a show has very little draw if there is no conflict, no drama, but I do miss the days when science was treated as the wonder it is. The systematic way to discover and catalog our world opening up new doors, extending lives, saving lives, increasing the quality of life, and from time to time, giving purpose to lives that otherwise would be ruined by things like mental imbalance and physical deformity.You know, if you're going to preach, preach reality. Not the simple Mary Shelly reality of the 19th century.Crap now I'm preaching.

Akira was the only thing I could think of when watching this. Once again another opportunity for the Outer Limits to make a very cool episode yet the got all preachy and ruined it like they always do. I mean the kid has the power of a god much like Tetsuo in Akira yet they never really talk about that only the "harm" science was causing him....sigh.
