My Grandfather was in the ARMY during WWII. He went through Pearl Harbor and saw all the destruction... He then spent a year in the South Pacific fighting under the command of General MacArthur. He was at the Battle of Bougainville. He’s 97 years old now and not a day goes by when he doesn’t think of the war. He earned a Silver Star and several other medals. I think of him anytime I see anything having to do with WWII and the war in the South Pacific. Thank you for sharing this! 🌹
Please tell your Grandfather Thank You, from the Daughter of a WWII Veteran-Army Corps of Engineers, European Theatre. You are so lucky to still have your Grandfather with you ❤️💕
It is a FACT that there are times that SCIENCE, HISTORY, & THE BIBLE have each documented similar observations of findings over TIME. I have to admit: l do like it quite a lot when both Science & Scriptures bear witness with each other. There are a number of such examples that l have learned about.... actually makes me smile......and very Thankful & Grateful. 😊 .
Plus, OSB had character actors with character..not the plastic looking carbon copy surgically enhanced actors of today. Today's actors and actresses look as if they have been to the same plastic surgeon, with the same facial mold.
When I was a kid, NO ONE was allowed to talk or move around much when OSB came on the old black and white. Once a week just wasnt enough. Next day all the boys at elementary school had to talk about it. "Did ya see One Step Beyond last night?" Aired at 9 p.m. central time on a Tuesday originally and it was bedtime after the show. If an episode was particularly scary, lights out could get interesting for a kid.
My Uncle Ron who served during WWII at Hawaii was pissed that I was dating a Japanese girl. I married my love and we were married for 33 years. She died in my arms from a heart attack. I still to this day miss my oriental baby. She took an a American name of Barbara. Oh god I miss her to this day. Oh gawd I miss her. Her name before she changed it was Makiko. I told her time and time don't change your name baby, but she wanted to be truly American.
@@echopeakbicycling85 Thank you very much. Its' been 5 months since she passed away, and it still is painful. I've been seeing a grief counselor, but with this pandemic going on I've not been able to get in to the clinic.
If you watched this show- then you must know in your gut that there is so much more than what is strictly visible by the eye....I lost my love after 27 yrs ---- 8 years ago...I can tell you with total honesty that your “Baby” will do everything possible to try and communicate with you-- but it will be in subtle ways---a favorite song may play next time you turn on radio, go to a restaurant and the special will be something she liked, something lost will all of a sudden appear....she may also appear in your last dream right before you wake....I wish that I could tell all the times unexpected things have happened and I know “my love” had a hand in it...I truly know your pain--I still miss him- it does not always get easier--but you go on..Love does not die but travels to the other side-- she will communicate but be open.....take care
So many good character actors appeared in these shows, like the one playing the Captain. And I was surprised to see Mr. Drysdale, before the Beverly Hillbillies. This one had me in tears at the end.
The prospect of a man carrying out his duties after death, to be filled with so much honour and purpose to do such, to be so dedicated, is severely moving. There is nothing more beautiful than extraordinarily strong willpower that's righteous and giving, heroic and full of grace.
If such a thing were permitted, it would probably be more for the sake of the pharmacist's mate, not for the captain. That was hinted at, but not made explicit.
I remember when my mom was dying, her anniversary was January 11th, she waited until 12:05 a.m. January 12th before she died, she did not want to die on her anniversary
All well and good, but the strongest willpower in the world won't make a person communicate after death! You are all forgetting this is a fictional show, although it's extremely well done!!!

This John Newland is so captivating . I have not seen him in anything else but such a great presence even though he does not act in these episodes but the most memorable part of them is him .
I can understand Harris's situation that he didn't question the voice that continued to lead him through the procedure. It would only be in hindsight that he could realize that the voice was guiding him as if looking over his shoulder.
Can you imagine if John Newland Rod Serling Steven King and Alfred Hichcock ever got together and wrote and made these relics :) God they would have been good :) I still love these uploads of John Newland of cource :) Thank u so much for these fantastic uploads ...I love them all...
I can't paint all all officers with a single brush...there were a few, a very few, who were human first and officer second. I was fortunate to know two over eight years.
I disagree with your perception 100% ! I got along with both officers and crew. One LCMDR Thomas took me under his wings and tried to get me into OCS ! I don’t know what he saw in me! I dropped out of high school after the 11th grade. Academically, I knew I didn’t qualify. But he tried for 3 years to get me in! If you were to ask me what I was good at, I’d say … I was good at following orders!
These old black and white shows have an advantage that color no longer has..actors and actresses before plastic surgery turned them into cartoon-ish versions of themselves. What ever happened to growing old gracefully...with your own face.
That was an example of Spirit communication whether you believe it or not , it must have eventually have hope that pharmacy mate would realise his brother was in Spirit . He had proof in very strange way!!
If the senior medical officer looks familiar He played mr. Drysdale on The Beverly Hillbillies . This goes to show you how the earlier actors back in the 60s were very versatile .
This is one of my favorites, (in part because it's WWII!) probably because there aren't any hysterics! Lol these episodes are all very good, but the hysterics are too much sometimes. My very favorites, Signal Received, this one, the Last Round, things like that. No screaming!
@@josephsvennson5694 Well Newland is certainly one of them. I've never actually heard Kim's voice but my mother says she sounds like such a.... never mind that. I know some older guys, like my dad's friends, even some of my cousins who're way older than me have such nice comforting deep voices, and then I go out and talk to other guys and it's like, what? You sound like girls lol
“Brainwave,” Season 2, Episode 3, aired 6 October 1959. George Grizzard, Pharmacist's Mate Harris, Tod Andrews, Lt. Cmdr. Stacey, Whit Bissell as Capt.

Much as I'm someone having a longstanding fascination with the paranormal, and also a great admirer of this series, I think there's a straightforward explanation for this one. The young lad needed a command, or series of commands, to complete the procedure. These are not forthcoming because his superior is dead, so rather than let the captain die, he completed it himself. He concocts the supernatural 'explanation' as, if you like, plausible deniability. It's a clever gambit since his superiors were bound to accept it since they were embedded in a highly religious society, and also one where class inferiors were seen as being unable to carry out anything complicated and of a professional nature without superior guidance. Look at it in terms of Occam's Razor and which explanation is more likely: a) a young man of undoubted intelligence and with some medical training, but with lowly status, goes beyond himself in extremis to complete a difficult task, or b) he's guided by the voice of a recently dead technical specialist. In the absence of any independent corroboration, only one explanation is reasonable.
USS Athena was used in tbe Atomic Bomb development in 1946 at the Bikini Atoll. Probably caused cancer to most sailors. One told me he lost all his hair permanently right after being made to witness those explosions.
In College, had a Prof. of Physics/Chemical Engineering, who as an 'enlisted' scientist--was part of the Corp of 'junior scientist' there to assist--told tales of the 'Power-of-the-Bombs' detonated AND of the effects upon the innocent Sailors, (who had to sign waivers-of-secrecy)--to their health--Including, the health of their Sperm, and hence, the health of their children, to-be-born. Per the Prof. the 'Truth' of those Nuclear tests--released to the Media and Public for Years and accepted as 'truthful facts'--is just Govt./Military Public Relations---B.S.. P.S. Bro'--two of the Prof.'s classmates were involved in 'Top Secret' Govt. projects of the Paranormal--being conducted through-out the Pacific Theater and the European.
Actor Raymond Bailey best known for his portrayal of banker Milburn Drysdale on The Beverly Hillbillies played one heck of a dramatic part as Doctor Clyde Madison with his spirit sticking around to guide Harris to save his friend after being killed by a direct bomb hit on the Athena.. The After Life, Who Knows ? Amazing Story Line & Acting ! 🌹
Really? Show me any record of a USS Athena or indeed any of the names mentioned in the episode. I eagerly await your research as I, so far, haven't found one iota of truth in a single episode. Truth and Hollywood is an oxymoron.
Simple when the situation became life and death Harris called upon his higher intellect to guide him, yes we all have it but only in these types of situations.
I'm very lucky. One of my grandfathers was too sick to serve and the other was so kept close to home he walked there each time he got leave. They both had a pretty good war. Not so much with my great-fathers. They both died in 1917.
The pharmacist's mate missed the fact that the senior medical officer must have been present in the room because he directed the pharmacist's mate which direction to pull out the shrapnel--something he could only do if he were in the ward room watching the surgery!
I've never been in the Navy, or any branch of the military for that matter, so I have two questions: 1) What about the gunner who freaked out in the beginning? Wasn't that abandoning his post and displaying cowardice in the face of the enemy? 2)The pharmacists mate getting drunk, isn't there a rule that you don't splice the main brace until port is in sight?
When dealing with nature, its Logic and Reasoning supersedes the every day logic, reasoning and norms that most have chosen to make sense/makes sense to them, whether for “comfort” (compliments of what adds up in their head)……..not to be confused with real mathematics. For as long as I can remember people have always said, “nothing is impossible”. Yet most will be quick to frown their brow and speak negatively on things and people that they are clueless about…….and would likely rather not accept. Such behavior and thinking is exactly why confusion and chaotic behavior is what most will revert to, the minute what they *can’t understand, much less do rears its head. Instead of his sargeant/captain just accepting what positively happened, he wanted to argue and go back and forth about it. Homeboy didn’t bat an eye…….he was content with what he was able to execute.
I've heard of alot of inconsistencies of rules & practices. Depended upon which mil. service branch, which year, & even which "theater" or part of world. Am I wrong, (not having military service)? 🙏🇺🇸
cinematedman-I disagree with you. Newland was good but Rod Serling was perfect for the role of commentator-at least for this kind of show.Vic Perrin from Outer Limits was close,though.He was perfect for O.L.
This was a great series. It's a pity this episode (I'm only commenting on this one) was complete fiction. The Athene was commissioned September 1944 and never saw battle or hits. It couldn't possibly have been hit by 2 bombs March 1944, it hadn't been launched yet.
... I checked; this episode first aired in 1959. I was curious about the timing, because the great George Grizzard ('Harris') looks to be about the same age as when he was cast as "Nick" in the original Broadway production of *Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,* which opened in 1962, 3 years or so later. My intuition seems to have been correct.The play (in addition to making theatrical history) was also unique in that it was recorded in full, in fully dimensional stereo hi-fi, and released first as a 4 LP vinyl box set (Columbia Masterworks), and recently re-released on CD. Grizzard is superb, and even as an audio recording, the play is transcendental. The film version is wholly dismissable.
There is life after death, whom ever has not the faith for this, one day after their mortal demise, will discover for themselves, it to be true. May the Lord of Hosts have mercy on those non believers, as well as believers.

God bless him. He was a part of the greatest generation. Selfless service to the USA and world ridding us of some of the worst evils ever on earth.
I saw this episode when i was like 9 or 10 and all my life thought it was from the twilight zone. Im happy i found it again after all this years

One Step Beyond was a great show with good plots, good acting, etc. They don't make shows like that any more.
Plus, OSB had character actors with character..not the plastic looking carbon copy surgically enhanced actors of today. Today's actors and actresses look as if they have been to the same plastic surgeon, with the same facial mold.
These arent plots; thyre based on actual incidents. They happened for real.
The a acting was horrific.
Yeah it's called making big money these guys would never get rich in the 60's
When I was a kid, NO ONE was allowed to talk or move around much when OSB came on the old black and white. Once a week just wasnt enough.

Clean tv. They dont make them anymore. Great to watch.
mr Drysdale was superb
This John Newland is so captivating . I have not seen him in anything else but such a great presence even though he does not act in these episodes but the most memorable part of them is him .
Perfect for that role.
You can't beat John Newland's delivery.
You can tell it was a passion for him not just a job.
Wow, an episode with the original Alcoa Aluminum introduction - cool!
Okay, that just became my favorite episode so far for this entire series.
Right? This and "Signal Received" are my favorites, and I'm pretty sure I've seen them all now
I can understand Harris's situation that he didn't question the voice that continued to lead him through the procedure. It would only be in hindsight that he could realize that the voice was guiding him as if looking over his shoulder.
Right, I thought that too
Didntcha hear the guy was stoned. He was stoned I tell ya.

I was in the US NAVY and there was no "friendly" talks between officers and crew men, officers gave orders and crew men would answer "Aye aye sir" !!
@Humphrey Hogan Lol yeah
My father and father-in-law did not want to be officers because of nonsense like that.
Maybe you would have experienced a consoling talk with an officer if you were acting up due to death of a brother
I can't paint all all officers with a single brush...there were a few, a very few, who were human first and officer second. I was fortunate to know two over eight years.

Love this episode, talking from beyond to help save his friend.
Thank you, one of the best stories.
One of the best episodes of OSB. Thanks.
Definitely a top five
These are interesting dramatisations 😮
These old black and white shows have an advantage that color no longer has..actors and actresses before plastic surgery turned them into cartoon-ish versions of themselves. What ever happened to growing old gracefully...with your own face.
Unfortunately people have come to "worship" youth which often includes immaturity in word and deed. 😣

Was such a great show. I used to watch it with my dad. He worked for Alcoa in Edgewater N.J.👍😃
Wish they would make interesting series like this and the twilight zone. No more violent contents.
This was a real great very true episode.
What an amazing show when the US was a different Country
Jim dandy, yes & I miss the 60's & early 70's very much! I real L hate what this country has become, policy correct crap! 🎪🎠🎭📺👾👽

Mr. Drysdale was a war surgeon. Gnarly! Too bad Dr. Granny wasn't available. She'd have removed the dude's gizzard!
Yes it made him some nice possum for dinner
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Okay, these oldies always have the long drawn out dialogue but well worth it...
Thank you. This one's a real treasure!
one of the best episodes.
Oh great. Just when I'd almost forgotten WWII, I had to tune into this particular show.
I remembered this episode as soon as they contacted the medical officer on the other ship, It is one of the creepiest episodes ever.
The captain was in a lot of westerns too. Good actor
That was an example of Spirit communication whether you believe it or not , it must have eventually have hope that pharmacy mate would realise his brother was in Spirit . He had proof in very strange way!!
oh, nice one........really liked it, thanks
Amazing episode thanks I enjoyed it
My uncle Nash lived to be 91,he passed in 1991,he remembered when aluminum came out He remembered tin foil
Doesn’t take much to remember in foil. Look in your cabinet.
If the senior medical officer looks familiar
He played mr. Drysdale on The Beverly Hillbillies .
This goes to show you how the earlier actors back in the 60s were very versatile .
Yes, I recognized him.
I thought he looked liked Sergeant Bilko
This is one of my favorites, (in part because it's WWII!) probably because there aren't any hysterics! Lol these episodes are all very good, but the hysterics are too much sometimes. My very favorites, Signal Received, this one, the Last Round, things like that. No screaming!

Great episode, but shouldn't have seaman Harris and the other officer been wearing surgical masks?

It certainly is. We remember most of the actors from our childhoods.

Gotta love that show
It's all about faith. Through faith miracle can happen, however they happen.
calotcha108-That’s true. If God wants the impossible to happen, then it will happen!
Is that Mr. Drysdale from the Bank of Beverly Hills?
As a Radioman USN, breaking radio silents for 1 man is absurd!!🤬
That was not just a man. That was Whit Bissell, the famous actor.
Silence.
I've heard of alot of inconsistencies of rules & practices. Depended upon which mil. service branch, which year, & even which "theater" or part of world. Am I wrong, (not having military service)? 🙏🇺🇸
You mean to tell me the USN is so hard up for Radiomen that they take guys who can't even spell 3rd grade words?
Telephone? No
Around the corner? No
Having to find a bathroom? Yes
cinematedman-I disagree with you. Newland was good but Rod Serling was perfect for the role of commentator-at least for this kind of show.Vic Perrin from Outer Limits was close,though.He was perfect for O.L.
@Tumbleweed I'm entitled to my opinion,Tumbleweed,u punk- the moron is YOU!
Great episode.
Mr Drysdale helped him all the way!
Not bad for a Bank Manager.
Mrs Hathaway would be proud.
This was a great series. It's a pity this episode (I'm only commenting on this one) was complete fiction. The Athene was commissioned September 1944 and never saw battle or hits. It couldn't possibly have been hit by 2 bombs March 1944, it hadn't been launched yet.
Amazingly strange phenomena
... I checked; this episode first aired in 1959. I was curious about the timing, because the great George Grizzard ('Harris') looks to be about the same age as when he was cast as "Nick" in the original Broadway production of *Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,* which opened in 1962, 3 years or so later. My intuition seems to have been correct.The play (in addition to making theatrical history) was also unique in that it was recorded in full, in fully dimensional stereo hi-fi, and released first as a 4 LP vinyl box set (Columbia Masterworks), and recently re-released on CD. Grizzard is superb, and even as an audio recording, the play is transcendental.
The film version is wholly dismissable.
WoW!
