The following two episodes of "The Outer Limits"? If so, please send me a short synopsis of the plots - I have a friend in Ames, Iowa (the Hog Capital of the World) who wants to know. Please reply to me directly. The episodes: (1) One about the end of the world/alien invasion in which Robert Culp plays a man/robot killing the alien invaders with a '38 for fingers of his left (right?) hand/computer that (when complete) will tell him where the human race has gone too? Culp (last man/robot) meets last woman, gets killed/revived, and finds out that the entire human race has encoded itself on a piece of copper wire inside his body. Needless to add, the last woman is miffed at lost opportunity to be Eve. (2) One about a flock of tumbleweeds which turns into a plague of frogs around a shack inhabited by a taciturn farmer who doesn't breath. A young man (and his wife?) bumble into this situation, discover that something is WRONG HERE!, find out what it is, and then bring the situation to some resolution before driving off into the dawn. Thanking all of you "Outer Limits" fans in advance...
