I've been binge watching Outer Limits for the last couple of weeks. (I was 12 years old when it first aired on TV, and I actually recall a lot of the shows).
First off, to address the bad looking monster(s) in this episode. ALL the monsters on the series were pretty cheesy. Outer Limits definitely wasn't a big budget production and special effect technology back then wasn't anywhere near what it is today.
The complete lack of discipline exhibited by the astronauts made the whole thing frustrating. Out of all five, you'd figure maybe one or two could follow orders. Shaking my head at all the stupidity during the show put me right off the plot.
There was what seemed to be one plot hole.... The first ship was found to be torn up, presumably by the monsters.. So why did the monsters only pick off the crew members who wandered out of sight against direct orders? Why didn't they just tear apart the second ship as they did the first?
