I am – Hercules!!


The great Harlan Ellison, who wrote the best episode of “Star Trek” more than 40 years ago, co-wrote tonight’s final installment of “Masters of Science Fiction.”

This could be the first Ellison teleplay to see production since a 1998 episode of “The Hunger.” And it may be the first Ellison teleplay with Ellison’s actually name on it to see production since a 1989 episode of “The Twilight Zone.” Which is to say it is a relatively rare event.

I saw a rough version of the episode a month or more ago. The effects were not in place, but Brian Dennehy was excellent as the de facto leader of The Discarded.

10 p.m. Saturday. ABC.
