Much story time goes toward the morality behind cloning, but in the main, not enough is said about the monster. It's a Megasoid, it's more evolved than a human (says who?), it's telepathic (when?), and it's extremely homicidal towards humans except when it's in a reproductive phase. Much remains sorely unapparent about this "monster," but now that I'm older than when I first saw it, I begin to wonder how these bits of info would have or should have fit together. Did the reason behind the vicious and murderous alien attacks stem from human thoughts? Did humans think of the aliens as grotesque or in terms of how to exploit them? Were the Megasoids unable to tune this out and, like a radio without an off switch, only able to find peace and silence from shouted thoughts by destroying the broadcasting systems (human brains)? That would seem a idea worthy of The Outer Limits - a species driven mad by the mere presence of devious, self-superior, disrespecting humans. Season two was under a lot of budget restraints, and cancelled, too. Under that kind of pressure, it is remarkable how palatable the Outer Limits team WERE able to make this episode and give it SOME good bones.
