    Frankly, this is one of the better Outer Limits episodes I've ever seen. Howie Mandell plays his role(s) very well.



    The reveal to this episode, and the specifics of the plot I'll leave a mystery, but let it be said that identity is at the heart of this tale. As the story evolves, we begin to see how complexity and attachment lead to complications and drama.



    The writers have done a good job putting this story together. It all seems to fall into place at an even pace. It is edited and directed well and is an overall great episode. I loved it, and I think it is worth your time to watch.moreless
