Yep I liked the Doomsday Machine also. William Windom as the commodore of the USS Constellation turned in a great performance.
Don't you think I know that???
Ellison also wrote two of the best Outer Limits episodes. “Demon with a Glass Hand”, with Robert Culp, and “Quarlo”( I think that was the title) with Michael Ansara.
He played Captain Decker. He dies in the episode and is surived by at least one son who became a Commander and later was Captain of the Enterprise before Kirk took back over in “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.”
He certainly did! It’s one of my favorite scenes ever from ST.

PS: Here’s a clip from a Sci-Fi Channel special. It’s kind of choppy, but there are some good clips from Mr. Windom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1-GYMpM2HA
Windom only died within the last year or so.
