"Second Chance" is an episode of the original The Outer Limits television show. It first aired on 2 March 1964, during the first season. A frustrated wanderer has found a temporary job - operating a mock-up of a spaceship at a carnival. However an alien modifies the attraction into a real spaceship, and, passing himself off as a giant talking chicken, invites aboard a group of misfits each of whom is refusing to face realities in their lives. Trapped aboard the spaceship, they are offered the opportunity to colonize a planet that would other wise threaten both the alien's own planet and Earth in the near future. To succeed, however, they must overcome their own deep-seated unwillingness to face their own true natures. This episode has no closing narration. less
