Masters of Science Fiction - Episode Guide

In the premiere episode, "A Clean Escape," set somewhere in the not-so-distant future, psychiatrist Dr. Deanna Evans (Judy Davis) doggedly interrogates a distinguished man (Sam Waterston) who appears to be suffering from a lapse in memory. Why can't he remember - and why is it so important that she uncover the secret he holds deep inside?

A U.S. military specialist ("Lost's" Terry O'Quinn) is called up from retirement to investigate after soldiers outside Baghdad discover a mysterious casualty- one they can't even identify as human. As he and his team try to identify the "corpse," others begin to appear, making him wonder whether the fallen creatures are emissaries from another world.

The world's 7th richest woman, Martha Van Vogel ("MEN IN TREES" star Anne Heche), goes shopping for a few new genetically-engineered creatures for her menagerie. But her world is thrown into chaos when she befriends an anthropoid (Jason Diablo as Jerry) slated for "liquidation" and determines to take him home.. even though his creator (Malcolm McDowell) has other plans.

The mutant victims of a terrible plague that almost wiped out Earth's population are exiled to outer space aboard a ramshackle ship. They have no hope of returning home, until an ambassador from Earth ("Desperate Housewives'" James Denton) arrives and offers them a desperate pact.

Set in the future, we are introduced to courtrooms without human judges or juries, and automated justice is the law of the land.

In the not too distant future, Watchbird robots, previously used as unmanned weapons for the military, are assigned to aid police forces in a small number of test cities. Their task is to prevent killing before it happens. However, soon everyone discovers the fragile formula of life and death.
