OUTER LIMITS, THE: COLD HANDS, WARM HEART (TV)
Summary
One in this science fiction anthology series. In this episode, astronaut Jeff Barton returns from successfully orbiting the planet Venus and announces his plans for taking part in the planned colonization of Mars. Shortly after reuniting with his wife, however, Jeff becomes aware of his growing inability to tolerate cold. His wife panics after watching him drink scalding coffee and touching fire without even flinching. Nightmares are also part of Jeff's new existence, particularly the image of a horrifying wraith peering through a window. Jeff's medical team starts to wonder if his afflictions are connected to the eight-minute period when his spaceship lost contact with Earth while circling Venus. The questions increase when Jeff's hands develop webbing overnight, quickly leading to a whole new level of horror for Jeff, his wife and all those in their sphere.
