Outer Limits - Die unbekannte Dimension Inner Child (1995–2002) watch online HD

This is a very good episode. The principle character, a young photographer, has lived her life on the edge, so when her car is disabled and she gets out to look, a man with a lead pipe mugs her. When she refuses and runs, he hits her from behind. She is brought to the hospital and codes. She is pronounced dead. About fifteen minutes later, she is going to be taken to the morgue and while being prepared, she sits up, alive, scaring the daylights out of the man sent to process her. She is a harsh, abusive, but beautiful woman who has spent her adult life in mourning for her father, the light of her world, when he took his own life. She blames her mother for this. She has also become a druggy and an alcoholic and pushes everyone away who tries to get close to her. A man she was living with is jerked around by her and can't figure her out. Upon checking herself out of the hospital, strange things begin to happen. For one, a weird growth moves around under her skin. Secondly, when she goes to sleep, she finds things have changed in her apartment. He doctor tells her that it has been discovered that the growth is brain tissue. She also finds out that when she was born, she was a Siamese twin and her sister was allowed to die so she could live. The brain tissue is residue from that person and it is becoming viable. The story moves forth with pain and emotion. What could be a maudlin, ridiculous plot, works on all levels. See this one.

"The Inner Child" is a brilliant episode that, unfortunately, sparkled the imagination of author Stephenie Meyer into carefully copying it under the new name of "The Host". For anybody who has not seen this episode but has read this book, you should know the story is virtually the EXACT same.

This girl, Anne, tries to take her own life in a desperate act, but the attempt is unsuccessful. Instead, she is inoculated with an alien life form that becomes attached to her brain and coexists with her. (I did not see the episode from the very beginning, so I'm only deducing this part from what I saw) At some point, Anne begins to feel the presence of this alien inside of her and becomes terrified. The alien life form can hear her thoughts and appears to possess her body on occasion, or at least becomes an alter-persona of her. Anne feels that she will gradually disappear as time goes by, the alien's influence gradually increasing over her. And so she decides to take her own life once more, as the only means of disposing of the entity inside her head. Just as she tries to commit suicide, the alien reveals itself as a benevolent life form, claiming that it likes Anne and that it was its influence that saved Anne from dying the first time. The episode lets us decide whether Anne is persuaded by the alien and continues co-existing with it, or kills herself as she intended.

I could not believe when I saw this episode on TV. How remarkably similar it is to Stephenie Meyer's book, although it was aired in 2000 and the book was released in 2008.

I am honestly disgusted by Meyer's copy-cat success, and feel that she is no more than a fraud.

It's unfortunate how nobody from the cast or scriptwriters of "The Outer Limits" has not yet taken action to sanction her. The series or the episode is not even mentioned among her so-called inspirations sources for her book. So, for all you Stephenie Meyer or "The Host" fans, watch this episode and stop encouraging fake writers to claim they have written best-sellers. Shame on her... This episode gets a perfect 10 from me because THE ORIGINAL IS ALWAYS BEST!
