Adam West was a fine actor who did a lot of things besides "Batman." I was actually quit the fan of that show back in the 1960s.
He starred in an episode of "THE OUTER LIMITS" called 'THE INVISIBLE ENEMY," in which a spaceship lands on Mars only to be beset by an enemy that has destroyed an earlier expedition and they cannot locate the beasties. It turns out they are a reptilian type of creature with nasty claws that live in a sandy underground, navigating like sharks in an ocean. In fact they refer to them as "sand sharks," sort of ironic because there actually
IS a type of shark here on earth we call sandsharks; they are small, maybe a foot to eighteen inches long, look just like the "Jaws" shark save maybe a bit more streamlined. Oh, and they are absolutly harmless to human beings. If they weren't I'd be dead
.
That Outer Limits episode scarred the ****** out of me as a kid and to this day I remember watching it when I was maybe 8 or 9. I have it on DVD now and it almost seems quaint .... but that was one of two episodes of that series I REMEMBER from childhood, so impressed was I.
R.I.P. Adam West.
I was a fan.
And still am.
