To a generation, seared into our minds is Cliff Robertson and the Galaxy Being in the very first episode of The Outer Limits broadcast, September 16, 1963.

I liked the closing narration from that Hart:
“The planet Earth is a speck of dust, remote and alone in the void. There are powers in the universe inscrutable and profound. Fear cannot save us. Rage cannot help us. We must see the stranger in a new light – the light of understanding. And to achieve this, we must begin to understand ourselves, and each other.”
Not too shabby!
I always remember Cliff Robertson in the movie adaption of the story, Flowers for Algernon, although the movie was titled, “Charly”. Pretty good story..
