When I heard the Eagles "Hotel California" many years ago, it immediately reminded me of this episode I had seen when I was a kid. I know the song is an allegory of the sex, drugs, and rock'n roll excesses of '70's LA, but the Lyrics "They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast", and "you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave" are strongly evocative of this episode. Does anyone know if this episode of the Outer Limits inspired the song lyrics to some degree? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.41.204.68 (talk) 05:41, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
