I am a big x-files fan, but this episode was the worst of the entire show. Had this been early in the series, I probably would have quit watching and never returned.

I am totally convinced that no one knows how to make a movie anymore. I have tried to watch at least two dozen recent movies on Prime and I have been bored to tears on all of them. On the average I have suffered through each of them 15 minutes before I hit the off button. This movie was no different, it suckered me in with an interesting description but then was anything but interesting.

I had intended to watch this show for years, I finally started a few months ago. Now I wish I had not, the writing and the acting are beneath soap opera standards. Pitiful.

I wish I had never watched any of this. Disgusting!

5.9 ?!! Obviously, there are a lot of people on IMDb that are Christian haters and probably have never even seen the show. But that's OK, you have a right to your opinion. I just wish you would watch TBAA with an open mind. Honestly, I can imagine some of the low ratings are very legalistic Christians who find fault with the slightly imperfect theology, but that's OK also, they too have a right to their opinion. My family and I always enjoyed the show because it does present a positive moral outlook and example. It is not a "Christian show" per se, but does not conflict with the morals my wife and I have taught our kids, like so many programs on TV. I would love to see more shows like this (and Blue Bloods) on the tube.

Finally, I have found it, after looking for 54 years. Now if I can only find a way to watch it again. In 1958 I was 7 years old, one night my parents and I happened on this episode and it haunted them until their deaths and me to this date. Every so often something would remind us of this and we would again discuss this excellent show. I can't really say what has made this episode stand out among the thousands of programs I have watched over the years, but to say it is more memorable than anything I have ever watched does not do it justice. Even though I only remember bits and pieces after all these years, it still gives me a chill when I think of the ship's crew finding only a gray spongy material where a short time before a voice in the dark spoke to them. This was the horror genre as an art not the predictable drivel of blood and guts put forth today. If anyone knows how I can see this again, I would be eternally grateful.
