Talk:The Galaxy Being

Should there be a See Also or Related Works section?
By way of example, The Twilight Zone episode The Changing of the Guard has a "See Also" section with references to other works with similar plots, messages, or meanings. E.g., The Changing of the Guard is very similar to Goodbye Mr. Chips.

The wikipedia article on The Outer Limits episode The Architects of Fear contains two sections, "Precursors" and "Legacy", that cite works with similar story lines.

I think that Galaxy Being (premiered 1963) is a great episode of The Outer Limits, but it has a plot and message similar to The Day the Earth Stood Still (premiered 1951): peaceful alien with strange powers comes to Earth; demonstrates its power (Galaxy Being saves the life of the wife and vaporizes bullets attempting to kill it; Klaatu brings Earth technology to a standstill) and preaches a warning to Terrans about their violent tendencies.

I think there are similarities and that there should be a See Also section with "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and any other works that contributors think are relevant "variations of the television and science fiction tropes of the mad scientist and the invading alien, albeit with a reversal typical of The Outer Limits that both the scientist and the alien are benevolent, and it is the ordinary human beings of Earth who are the villains in the story." (quoted from the main article page). AdderUser (talk) 10:37, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
