Mine is "Demon With a Glass Hand," starring Robert Culp (who was also good in "Architects of Fear," although his monster costume in that one was a bit hokey).

That's a good one. I have to say Architects of Fear is my all time favorite episode though -- hokey costume and all! Robert Culp was such a great actor. A close second for me was Sixth Finger. I remember seeing that episode for the first time back in the early 1970s, New Year's Eve with my sis. We were young teens and our parents had gone to a party. We spread a blanket in front of the TV and watched an Outer Limits marathon!

Yes, Culp was a fine actor--somewhat underrated in my opinion. And his final gesture to his wife (played wonderfully by Geraldine Brooks) in "Architects of Fear" is heartbreaking, as is her response.
"Sixth Finger" is one of the very best episodes, and David McCallum is superb in that one. It demonstrates how some of the episodes are quite deep in their consideration of the irony of unintended consequences and their philosophical musings.
This series, like The Twilight Zone, often had very thoughtful and/or moving closing narrations.

About Culp's wife in the Architects of Fear episodes -- if I remember correctly she was pregnant -- she stopped by the lab her arms were full of boxes from that maternity place. Wonder if the baby turned out normally or was he damaged? I always thought that would be a good follow-up episode.

"Demon with a Glass Hand" is also one of my favourites. Number one is "The Man Who Was Never Born" with Martin Landau and Shirley Knight. Sometimes scenes from it still pop up in my "dreams"
like a strange version of Beauty and the Beast.

Yes, that one is also excellent. Both Landau and Knight are superb; and Leonard Horn directs this skillfully, not allowing special effects to overwhelm a fine script and great acting.

Landau gave an outstanding performance in that one. He also appeared in “The Bollero Shield,” and was excellent as a meek scientist with an evil, selfish wife. This episode has been characterized as a modern version of Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

The approximately half-dozen episodes already mentioned are among my favorites. It's hard for me to pick a single favorite. It's easy to see why the producers/directors picked Robert Culp for multiple episodes. Even early in his career his talent was obvious.
