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.

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

"Decompression"
Brilliant!
Copy the script, get a a movie star in the waning, stretch it a bit (along with the budget), send it for a January, February or April wide release.
This is a surefire 20 + million dollar opening weekend for a 10 + million dollar budget film.
All it needs, an interesting trailer. -

Quality of Mercy/Light Brigade. Hands down. I was dismayed that an entire thread is dedicated to trashing these episodes, mostly due to the
noir ending, but both of these just blew me completely away. I hung on every word of dialogue. Robert Patrick was totally awesome as Skokes in both. These are better than 75% of the crap Hollywood passes off as science fiction cinema.
Honorable mention: A Stitch in Time, Valerie 23, Bits of Love, Trial by Fire, Alyssa Milano's tits. -

My top episodes;
- Trial By Fire (2x09)
- The Conversation (1x12)
- Dead man's Switch (3x13)
- The Light Brigade (2x18)
- The Revelations of 'Becka Paulson (3.15)
- Inconstant Moon (2x12)
Only dream I ever have is it the surface of the Sun. Every time I shut my eyes it's always the same.
