Has somebody ever seen The Outer Limits?


A few days ago I bought DVD box-set. It's very classical TV series. SFX, makeup, studio set were very cheap, but I liked it. Especially, actors are great. Martin Sheen, Matin Landau(Ed Wood), Robert Culp(The Greatest American Hero), Donald Pleasence(Helloween), Edward Mulhare(Knight Rider), Bruce Dern(Silent Running)....

All stories are science fiction(Alien's invasion, Mutants, Wars, Virus, Time travel, another dimension...). It's similar to The Twilight Zone, but The Outer Limits has sometimes preachy.

This drama is about 40 years ago, but this is not old to me. I've never seen it before, so this is new to me.

Sure Kenji, "The Outer Limits" was a popular TV show from the '60's, sort of like "The Twilight Zone." It was neat. Glad you like it, too.

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

So what did you think of the pilot episode?

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

The pilot episode title is "The Galaxy Being". The theme is Alien's visit to Earth. Alien's visit was coincidence, not invasion. Nevertheless, people frightened and screamed. One scientist tried to save the Alien.....

Even now, story is a little absurd and out of date, but I liked it.

That was a great show. The modern version is often too preachy.

Memorable performances and episodes:

The Man Who Was Never Born - Martin Landau

The Expanding Man - Skip Homier

The Duplicate Man - whoever played the lead and the Megasoid were teriffic

The Architects of Fear - Robert Culp

Nightmare

And how about those Zanti Misfits?

Oops, Sorry. I was thinking of Night Gallery.
