An episode that leans towards Jack Arnold's 1953 "It Came from Outer Space" (starring OL Barbara Rush and OL Russell Johnson, by the way)—owing to its esoteric and threatening desert mood combined with theremin—that tackles the alien contact theme featuring a stiff living-dead farmer whose body envelop is manipulated by the alien force (see "Corpus Earthling") and in which Nature is hostile and driven by alien spirits: perhaps a pantheist episode? the prologue features a car that runs furiously fast (Lamont's unseen wife, Marta): a warning for the trespassers. A rock (Cf. "Corpus Earthling") that blocks the road... No sound is heard in the doomed canyon; life has stopped its course. The first element that strikes the couple is the tumbleweeds that move. These animated tumbleweeds strangle their victims (see "Corpus Earthling") and explode when they touch fire. The notebook found in Lamont's farm turns out to be the link. The couple is attacked by frogs—some sort of Surrealistic rain of frogs. Andy Thorne discovers that water desintegrates it as acid does. We have two elements now: fire and water. Lamont dies because a rock hits him. Lamont returns to the farm as a living-dead human carrier which writes geometric symbols in the notebook. The geometric symbols becomes season 2 recursive alien language. Just before Andy Thorne fashions some questions to be asked by his wife to this formless alien force, we, oddly enough, see the special effects (the wire) that makes move a rock. Andy hypnotizes himself with a spoon hanged by a piece of string. Unlike "The Galaxy Being", the alien simply send informations but cannot receiv any feedbacks. But as "Corpus Earthling" (Louis Charbonneau's leitmotiv), the alien must use a human form to express toughts. We're left unsatisfied because none of the crucial questions were answered. This is an unachieved attempt to communicate with an outer space civilization which explains the title of the episode. This episode tackles the subtheme of the inability to communicate which breeds solitude and frustation from the visitors which gives a realistic approach to the main theme. Actor Arthur Hunnicut is familiar with that stereotyped role from his western days and once on "The Twilight Zone": "The Hunt" but here, he is employeed in an odd way. Eddie Albert plays the anti-thesis of his part for "The Green Acres", especially when he concludes: "I'll give up the idea of living on a farm!" Another monsterless episode that is best Charles Haas' episode for season 2. Notes: The first draft of the teleplay is by Milton Krims.
