To cause an international stir, a random scientist from a group of ten is chosen to undergo a bizarre scientific procedure, to physically transform from human to Thetan.
I thought this was a quite terrific third episode, once again I am stunned by the originality of it, and the amazing variety that has been shown throughout the first trio of episodes.
It's another cold war storyline, and in a time where Balloons have been spotted in the sky, perhaps checking the weather, perhaps spying, who knows....
I thought for the age, the special effects don't look too bad, they made great use of what they had available at the time. The big reveal is quite a moment, I bet it had kids terrified.
Robert Culp is terrific as central character Allen Leighton, genuinely a character that undergoes a serious and shocking transformation.
I wonder how many films and television shows were inspired by what was seen here, this series truly was groundbreaking.
9/10.
