Forgotten TV: Is This the 2nd Worst Episode of 'The Outer Limits?'

 After finishing the Disc, I decided- with some help- to find a new approach to covering this Show.

Let's see how the 2nd lowest rated Episode of the Show on IMDB is.

(Oh, and if you're wondering why I'm doing the 2nd one, it's because I've already reviewed the lowest rated Episode.)

An Astronaut (Greg Evigan) approaches a Couple for their help.

They have found a crazy wormhole and needs their help, since she's an Astrographer and he's a Doctor.
They assemble a crew, dress up in Enterprise uniforms and go into the wormhole.

I'm not even joking about the uniforms- they have a shared wardrobe.
The wife- Callie Whitehorse- is troubled by a previous pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage.
She finds out that she's pregnant again once they are in the other world (it was a matter of days and wasn't caught).

She's having weird visions of her Mother as well and is warned about how the World is like a body- it's all connected. 
The ship is surrounded by strange gravitons.

Meanwhile, Callie is also experiencing weird symptoms as they experiment in this realm.

Why is this affecting only her?
Well, it turns out that this world is essentially the 'blood stream' of the Universe.  Picturing their entry like a stent being put into a vein.

Scanning this area seems to even show that the area matches a DNA profile!

They have to get out and report this, but it would require detonating the ship and poisoning the area.

As such, Callie sends the others away to stop the ship from blowing up, dying in there and seemingly forming a new World!

The End.
This is truly the 2nd lowest rated Episode of all time?  Weird.

There are obvious reasons I could point out- it is about a 'magic' pregnant lady (that is also a Native person).  All of the user Reviews (admittedly there's like 6) are all saying this.

I mean...that's a weird way to see it.

The Episode states the idea that since she's carrying life (being 10 days pregnant), this force made a connection with her.  It's nothing about her being magic or anything.

Why was the line drawn at 'lady is affected by vague/weird science?'

Rant aside, it can be a bit melodramatic, Evigan's accent pops in at random and there's likely more that could have been done with this concept.

But, I mean, is this nearly as bad as the Clip Show Finale?  Hell.  No.

Next time, let's keep going up in the User Ratings.  How about a tale of bad neighbors and electricity?  Stay tuned...
