robert culp delivers an unforgettable performance as allen leighton an idealistic scientist chosen at random to undergo the bizarre and grueling biological mutation necessary to become a creature from the planet theta . laced with chilling detail and dead tough dialogue the depiction of this grotesque transformation both visually and emotionally spawned the series reputation as achieving the quality of feature films . equally memorable is geraldine brooks as leightons wife who steadfastly refuses to succumb to the well intentioned but hideously miscalculated scenario until confronted with the terrible truth . considered a special effects masterpiece the show features an alien creature judged to terrifying that many local television stations actually blacked out the screen during the thetans appearance .
