Yes agreed, but what did you think of this episode?
PS And yes, I realized you were referring to
Terminator.

The TERMINATOR
!
CYBORG 2087
(
1966
) seems CLOSER to me.
IS this the episode where they CONFUSE
solarsystem
(AKA
starsystem
) with
galaxy
?

Apparently it was, cause Ellison threatened to sue, and Cameron settled out of court.
I just learned this from our old friend Google. And yes, they were a little weak on the concept of the solar system.
And speaking of
Cyborg 2087,
how the hell did they talk Michael Rennie and Warren Stevens into being in this cinematic turd?
(5.2 on IMDb)
Did they just need a paycheck?

I'm NOT sure how close it's to The TERMINATOR!
The opening scene of both Soldier and The Terminator visually bare striking similarities. Story similarities aside, it is hard to believe James Cameron's protest that he was not at least influenced by the episode. -

The first half of the episode is great where they try to understand who the soldier is. The second half where the scientist decides to bring home this dangerous killer to live with his family, including two kids, is a bit silly. What could possibly go wrong?
If the soldier looks familiar, it could be because he is played by Michael Ansara who also played Commander Kang in Star Trek's "Day of the Dove."
