Those who don't know me think I am nuts, those who do are sure.
I am probably the most stoic of people you could ever meet. In the words of Kid Rock, you'll never meet a motherfucker quite like me. But that's not the point or is it ? Being stoic, it comes natural to me, for the usual reasons. It is hard to move me emotionally at all.
I don't have a TV, I watch everything online and it suits me. I like old stuff. Now this stuff came out when I was three. Outer Limits. There are some that I think are very compelling.
In the holiday spirit; these are the search terms;
youtube outer limits episodes
The result will be on the first page, and you select the episodes. There are a couple that I consider something of,,,, value.
From the first season :
The Man Who Was Never Born. In it two Men lost their lives, and one Woman gave up true love to save humanity. The plot is a bit awkward, but so is life sometimes.
Don't Open Until Doomsday. Guy gets trapped by some dimensional being in a box, The being that runs it tries to ransom him off to get his fiancee to provide the means to uncreate the universe so it's kind can prevail. They didn't do it. She grew old as they refused to comply.
A Feasabilty Study. People unite to prevent the human race from being enslaved by an alien race. Need I say more ?
The Special One. Again an alien race wants to enslave humanity. This time they counted on a boy, and he betrayed them once he figured out, using their technology to make the Earth uninhabitable for the would be masters.
From the second season :
The Inheritors. If you can sit through this it is amond the best. A group of people are coopted by an alien force which remains unidentified. The motive is not enslavement, but I will not wreck it by telling you what it really was. That episode is the one to run on Christmas day if you ask me. It is in two parts, and I imagine the suspense was great back in 1964 when people had to wait a whole week to see part two. If you watch it, make sure to watch both parts. I saw part two a long time ago and finally today saw part one.
These particular episodes kick fuckin ass. Sign of the times. People were good and ..... I don't know exactly what. Things were different. I didn't know, I was three years old or so. But now I appreciate those episodes. What I just ran down here is one hour per episode, so don't think it's a five minute thing. but these particular ones are really good.
Pun intended.
