Writer and Director Leslie Stevens', THE GALAXY BEING, which served as the series pilot, is an involving, memorable tale of alien contact.

Cliff Robertson, under Steven's assured direction, delivers a strong, sympathetic performance as a techie blissed out by alien contact. Jacqueline Scott, as Robertson's wife, is the template for many Outer Limit's wives/girlfriend's to come, a woman who just wishes her obsessed man would be a regular guy.

The primary Special Effect in this episode, a photographic negative image of the alien (William O. Douglas Jr.), is surprisingly effective. Optical Effects expert, M.B. Paul is the responsible party.

Stevens' Teleplay is intelligent and thought provoking. When Robertson asks the alien if his planet has a god, the alien replies, "Infinity is God. God infinity. All the same." This is my favorite scene in the episode.

The screen imagery, by Director of Photography John Nickolaus, is crisp and precise. He makes particular good use of low angle shots for dramatic effect.

The music, by Dominic Frontiere, is high pitched and somewhat irritating. It may have been designed to keep parents out of the room.

THE GALAXY BEING should be rather watchable for most Sci-Fi fans. "Outer Limits" enthusiasts should get a particular kick out of seeing the series' pilot. I now return control of your computer terminal, to you. BACK TO: EPISODE
