This is a standard old Twilight Zone plot where things aren't what they seem. We have to know that if this was just your basic hunt down the bad guy thing it wouldn't be interesting. Something called a "Creetur" has reared its head and its up to the highly developed current society to hunt him down. There are so many mess ups in the script that it doesn't work. The way the woman is having the baby would be a hint that they aren't human. Why have babies anyway if you're cyborgs? Why all the killing, and did these guys come back to life with the help of a computer nerd or an electrician? OH well. Just don't ask too many questions.

Enjoyable but no big surprises here.

In "Hunted" some folks are members of some sort of national guard-type unit and they're in the woods tracking down some monsterous creature, a Kreetor. This is a wiley and dangerous creature and one by one, it kills off many of these troops. Ultimately, you learn what the Kreetor is and why the folks are intent on destroying them.
This is a very safe and by the numbers sort of episode. No major surprises at all and the twist is not much of a surprise. Watchable and even enjoyable...but no surprises and not much in the way of suspense.

****SPOILERS**** With crime almost eliminated in this future episode of the 'New Twilight Zone" some wild creature is on the loose in the Pacific North West murdering a number of hikers and boy scouts that has a unite of the CSG, Civil Security Guard, dispatched and sent to reel him or it in before he doses any more damage. It's the head of the unite Let. Jeffrey Freed, Scott Bairstow, who's tracking this creature, called a Krettor, down and soon it's himself and his men and one woman Sgt. Joanna Yarrow, Marisol Nichols, who become the hunted not the hunters.
This Kreetor, Scott Heindi, as it's called gets the uppers hand on Let. Freed and his men wiping out the entire bunch leaving only Let. Freed alive so he can explain to him the real truth for his as well as Let. Freed's reason for existing. It's then in his cave hideout where the Kreetor's mate or wife, who's about to give birth, are hiding out that Let. Freed is presented with the hard cold facts of a world that's been long forgotten that now has the Kreetor and his entire race on the brink of extinction.
****SPOILERS**** We soon realize that Let. Freed wasn't as naive as we were made to think that he was. He did in fact know the truth about the Kreetor as well as himself. And the reason it was his job as a member of the CSG to terminate it or him. And as the episode ends we see Let. Freed's wife Kelly, Michelle Harrison, taking care of and feeding, with tubes, the couples new born son that we in the audience shockingly find out, like her and her husband, is not quite human!

Warning: Spoilers
Officers from a futuristic national guard type of unit are dispatched to eliminate a savage creature that suddenly showed up killing innocent victims in a remote wooded area. Long thought extinct, Lt. Jeffrey Freed (Scott Bairstow) recounts the stories his grandmother used to tell him about a mythical beast called the 'Kreetor', one of which killed Jeffrey's grandfather. As his small unit of five soldiers is gradually eliminated by the last remaining Kreetor, the lieutenant himself is captured and brought to the Kreetor's lair, only to find that the beast can speak English while its wife lays quietly in childbirth. The twist here prophecies what Man's fate might be if artificial intelligence ever gets the upper hand and robots eventually replace humans. As dramatic as it was to see and hear the Kreetor make its point, it wasn't enough to prevent Lt. Freed from returning home after a successful mission, safe in the knowledge that if his newborn baby's crying might keep him up at night, all his wife would have to do was unplug it.
