Flower Child

Pros: Flower child is one of the episodes; I never forgot about: years later after the outer limits finished. The visuals in this episode were great for the time. Nice use of practicle effects, and earlier t.v CGI. The character Violet is one of the more unique outer limits characters. Also a very interesting, and physically well structured one too. The scene music in this episode was surprisingly incredible! Quite easily in the top 3 scene ambiences through the whole show. It had a cool story, and a nice cast of actors. All though not one of the more in depth stories, a nice little watch. One of the more ickyer episodes.

Cons: The actress who plays Violet is not exactly an oscar winner. Her dialogue delivery kinda sucks. However overall is doesn't dampen the character's traits. There is a level of B movie cheese in the episode here, but its still fun.

Overall: I really liked this episode. The icky parctical Alien /monster effects were grate. Both the boyfriend and girlfriend were believable as a young loving couple struggling with their hormones. However the ending I liked the most. I really didn't see it coming at all!! Get ready for it: Because this is a wonderful combination of pratical effects, CGI, lighting, camera work, and incredible musical score; that is some of the best, which you will see throughout the whole series!!! Epic icky visual ending!!😃👏😈🤢🤗

This is a reprise of other Outer Limits episodes where a beautiful young woman needs to mate (or absorb) men to carry out a mission which is not revealed until the end. In this one, a plant arrives on Earth and is found by a woman who is obsessed with her little growing things. The poor unsuspecting lady is suddenly attacked by the tendrils of this thing and sucked dry of all her bodily fluids. Suddenly, living in her apartment, is a gorgeous, sultry young woman, who puts the make on the male of the young couple down the hall. She approaches him on several occasions, offering herself to him, until one day, when his fiancée is out of town, he finally succumbs. He is not only guilt ridden, but his back is covered with enormous gashes, causing him intense pain. As is often the case with this series, it is dark and depressing. Still, I really wondered how all of this would reconcile itself in the end.
