The last episode I saw last night was also one of my favorites. Here is the story ("The Gift") in a nutshell:
A human-looking alien crash lands outside a village, and accidentally kills a police officer during a struggle. He is wounded by the other police officer during the aforementioned struggle, and is now feared and wanted by the authorities. The alien later resurfaces and staggers into a local bar and collapses. A local village doctor removes the bullets from him. While recovering from his bullet injuries, he befriends a young boy who resided at this bar. While recovering, he gives the boy, Pedro, a gift. He says he will explain the gift later. The unscrupulous bar owner reports the alien's whereabouts and the alien is cornered trying to escape. As he is cornered in front of a frightened and hostile crowd, he pleads to Pedro to show them the gift, but they grab it from him and burn it claiming it is the devil's work. The trigger happy soldiers shoot and kill the alien. The doctor reads what's left of the burning gift(book). It says, "Greetings to the people of Earth. We come... in peace. We bring you this gift. The following chemical formula is... a vaccine against all forms of cancer..."

The whole planet is something like a museum and he´s collecting corpses and reconstructing the past life on earth by killing people .... the guys that landed on that planet got poisoned in the end and also became "dolls" ...... I don´t remember the title of the episode.

lots of favs but two stand out for me:
1. a girl goes missing in her own home. her parents can hear her crying, they can talk to her, but they can't find her! their physicist friend figures out that she fell through an inter-dimensional portal. this episode sparked my early interest in relativity...i looked up and read everything a young child could understand about higher dimensional geometry, relativity and spacetime.
2. aliens land outside a small town. without letting their presence be known, they were able to stir up distrust and suspicion among the humans just by manipulating whose house or whose car had lights and power. In the end people were rioting and killing each other. When it was written it was probably a comment on cold war mania and mcarthyism. it applies very well to our modern fear mongering as well.

Bye-bye, thread!
I enjoyed the one filmed from the perspective of a 'hideous mutated freak.' Very post-modern, but a few decades early.
Having said that, I'm wishing this entire thread into the cornfield because it's started to bore me.

Don't feel bad, though-- I'm used to it. And that's 'seriously who are.'

... Jaysus. Y'all are having me relive many great episodes.
And, Skytwo, once you mentioned cornfield in this context, I knew exactly what you were referring to.
Keep the memories going, y'all.
