I like how even though Don S. Davies is playing almost the same exact character on 3 shows that he put a little different spin on it, like how he was getting huffy when delivering that line.
That episode was a disguised clip show that connected various episodes of the anthology and saved budget at the same time. Black Mirror kinda did the same thing, recycling props from previous episodes as exhibits in Black Museum.
Well, you can clearly see the influence of that show on Stargate. A large number of cast, crew, assets, and writers came over from Outer Limits. Brad Wright and Johnathan Glassner, the duo that created SG-1, were producers on OL.
I usually hate “clip shows” but this one was very well Done to connect the series as a whole but why does American TV do this , used to be common on Sci fi in the 90s
If Major Grin takes requests...do a crossover video of John De Lancie (Q) giving Richard Dean Anderson grief in not one, not two, but three separate tv series. He tries to shoot him in MacGyver, they appear together many times in Legend, and then he annoys Jack in SG-1 (including actually shooting him).
The BG in this scene is wearing an Army uniform. MG Hammond was US Air Force. Discerning the differences isn’t difficult. While the Twin Peaks clips were amusing, this is simply acknowledging that Canadian actors were heavily used in Canadian TV shows.
@@hawkeye5955 bit pointless to say when you just want to pont out that the person playing the doctor goes on to play the simular role later in the series. Ffs
I remember seeing this episode live way back when more than 20 years ago. However I remember so little that I can't make out what is real or not. Was Hammond's actor really in that episode? Either way, that's a serious walk down memory lane. Thanks Grin !
@@TheRealNormanBates Back when being writers on shows meant you could take chances and write really surprising stuff. Much better than having to fill a diversity quota, and having to watch what everyone is saying all the time... I miss good TV.
@@Francois424 you should search for the teleplay/script for *Conspiracy* Right after the Mastermind “eats” the bug and says his ultimatum, the script says something akin to: Picard and Riker look at each other with an expression that says FUCK THAT! (Yes, that’s in the script)
@@Francois424 Are you insane? That's not at all the case. In fact writers toe the line a lot more than they used to back then, when the major censorship bodies were finally beginning to fall apart.
OMG is Greg Medavoy from NYPD BLUE, Gordon Clapp is such an underrated Actor, he along with the entire cast of NYPD Blue are Just Incredible Talent. Great to see him in this Outer limits episode, Minus the Stuttering Deep New Yawk Accent.
I would have loved if at the end Don S. Davis's character says he will go along for help and he turns and his eyes glow like a Gou'ld and just rolls credits.
One thing I liked about the outer limits at the end of each season they always did a recap I love those recap because it covers what I missed like those sand creatures on Mars a bunch of humans shapeshift to wear aliens they said what we going to do about them oh we got plans for them LOL
I was always disappointed that sequels were these clip-shows that tied together multiple different episodes. Some of those deserved their own real sequel. And then there's ones like the Jack the Ripper episode that are ruined by having a sequel.
i need to check this show out. I watched a few episodes but mostly watched other shows like farscape and the invisible man. Any of you watch good vs evil?
Every other episode of the 90's Outer Limits ended in the destruction of the Earth and/or humanity. Maybe a slight exaggeration, but they loved their dark endings. The 60's show didn't seem so cliched. At least from what I recall. Maybe that's the evolution of anthology sci-fi and horror...it all became about "twist" endings. You can just skip to the endings of the 90's show and save yourself 40 minutes.
@@AlShas66 I started watching it and finished season 1 but the show was taken off Hulu. It was on prime video for a while after that but was taken out as well. Just wished I had finished it
its really not that strange that Don s Davis showed up in all these shows. a lot of actors who live in British Colombia were always showing up on different tv shows that were filming in the area simultaneously. star gate , x files , outer limits
The issue is, that makes this a bust, on that particular Outer Limits episode, is if I recall right. This general turns out to be an alien and the world they are in is already doomed.
@@freezetasticvoyage19 Gillian Barber and Lochlyn Munro 's characters were aliens. Kate Robbins and Daniel Travanti are convinced of the threat While Davis character remains skeptical at the end. OL airs on Comet TV and I've seen this episode several times in last couple years

Cause he's an alien... they all are.
There are several actors in this video that appeared in stargate franchise.
Makes sense, Brad Wright worked on this version of the Outer Limits as a writer and producer and actually wrote this episode.
@@GuardianOwl That and it was filmed in Vancouver, BC, Canada, too.
The Canadian mob
It's mainly because both are Canadian/American joint ventures.
This scene is from stargate

the most clumsy black mirror ep
@@PeterParker-yg6fc They needed an obligatory wypipo bad to get picked up by Netflix.
Clip shows are the worst. And it's even worse when they have a few nuggets of important plot exposition buried in there.
Stargate did it too when they brought in Senator Kinsey.
it’s one of my favourite episodes of season 1 after S1 Birthright
Those pesky Goa'uld NEED to stop their shenanigans NOW!! General Hammond? Sick'em!!!

And then mr. Kress took over Cheyenne mountain complex.
Under the alternate identity of General Hank Landry.
3:28 General Landry is there too.
Fun fact: That episode was written by George R. R. Martin.
2:00 Colonel Young was there too.
Indeed!
@@hawkeye5955 the guy that looks like wolverine on Breaking Bad
And you posted his Twin Peaks appearance! Top marks! RIP Don S. Davis
Should've thrown in Major Briggs talking about looking for aliens in Twin Peaks
I remember this episodes, one of those clip show episodes that attempted to connect everything

This episode is based on a novella by George RR Martin: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sandkings

Lol Beau Bridges is the doctor! he played the genral that takes over from hammond.
Landry took over for General O'Neill. O'Neill had taken over for Hammond.

Yep. He is in it and he's an alien.
Ah yes, the sand kings. Weren't they also in one of the first episodes of TNG?
Conspiracy . my favorite episode as a kid :D
@@MajorGrin probably one of mine as well. To see someone’s head explode on a *Star Trek* show at prime time was... (ahem) _unexpected_

These actors were in different series. 😂

3:00 that’s a reference to *The Sand Kings,* isn’t it?
Sand Kings was the first episode of The Outer Limits, where they were ant-spider creatures brought back from Mars.
GOOLD?
The Ham knows the score.
I dudn't remember that this episode was a sequel to Sandkings.
I would have loved if at the end Don S. Davis's character says he will go along for help and he turns and his eyes glow like a Gou'ld and just rolls credits.
So this mean you'll be doing best episodes of outer limits soon?
I really hope so. Such a great show although had fair share of bad episodes.
only those with Trek actors . there's one with a human Michael Dorn . although he turned out to be an alien in the end
One thing I liked about the outer limits at the end of each season they always did a recap I love those recap because it covers what I missed like those sand creatures on Mars a bunch of humans shapeshift to wear aliens they said what we going to do about them oh we got plans for them LOL
is that colonel young? 1:59
It would be cool as hell if he were actually playing General Hammond here, in a crossover episode..

Like a one term senator?

I don't think the general was an alien, but the two younger civilians were.
