What's the name of the one where aliens are coming to earth and all the "important" people in government are in some bunker and they're trying to decide if they should treat the aliens hostileturns out after already attacking aliens they learn the aliens initial message was "we come in peace" or something like that? Anyone know the name? I think the aliens only like water or something too, so they landed in the ocean..

I loved the conversion episode too.
It's hard to have favorite episodes with 153 to think about but let's see:- The conversion
- The Voice of Reason
- A Stitch in Time
- Resurrection
- Unnatural Selection
- The Refuge
- Vanishing Act
- Stream of Consciousness
- Feasibility Study
- The Hunt
- Descent
- Family Values
Special mention to Caught in the Act, it's a poor episode but Alyssa Milano's breast makes it worth watching.
But what I like most about The Outer Limits is its variety, some episodes will make you think, others will be pure horror, science-fiction or fantasy, sometimes it will be a thriller. You never really know what you'll get.

Lilithia(first outer limits I ever saw BTW)

family values

Having re-watched all 7 series (thanks Amazon.ca) I'd throw these 12 out there as standing up best to repeat viewing.
- Deprogrammers
One of the better twists and an ep of real quality. Technically as good as OL ever got (lighting, prosthetics,camera work, even the music). - Summit
Punchy opening and doesn't let-up. Great cast and verbal sparring. - Tempests
Best horror story in the set, some real mind bending. - Decompression
Best time travel episode and character study, draws the viewer in nicely whilst leaving the cast in the dark. - Quality of Mercy/Light Brigade
Doesn't get darker than this. - Sentence
Salutory dystopian tale. - Vanishing Act
Not a fan of OL time travel episodes, or the cheesy Nicholas Prentice, generally they all looks a bit too much like 90s Vancouver. This one's well realised tho, although the wrap-up is possibly a little unsatisfying. - The Camp
Sigourney look-alike does ok but the Commandant steals it. Unusually well done sets and story ticks along at a surprising clip. - A New Life
A superior take on Relativity Theory. Nice mystery. - New Breed
Best bio-shock ep, some imaginative make up work! - To Tell the Truth
Bland lead but fine supporting cast and a surprisingly well fleshed out world. Props for the sub-titled alien dialect - only occurence in the series strangely.
- Deprogrammers
