Featured review
Alien Exiles
In the desert town of Morgue, California, an assembled group of military and scientific personnel await the dreaded arrival of an alien ship carrying exiled prisoners from the planet Zanti, whose leaders have communicated to Earth officials that they had better let it land, or risk severe retaliation in response. They cooperate, but a runaway car carrying two wanted criminals breaks the barricade and crashes near the ship, which may lead to disastrous consequences...or will it matter at all? Famous episode because of the memorable design(and sound) of the Zanti creatures, which are larger ants with distorted human faces! Effective for its sheer audacity, though does teeter a bit to the comical at times. Nice(if obvious) end twist as well.
