"We rely upon others to inform us but wisdom can never be taught... and we must always decide the truth for ourselves."
[edit] Trivia
- This episode is a clip show, and Donald Rivers' reports are made up from clips from other episodes of The Outer Limits. However, this episode is unusual because some of the clips come from shows that had yet to be broadcast. For example: the report that Rivers runs on Mason Stark did not air for another four episodes.
