The Outer Limits: The Probe
Well, I called it. I am very disappointed that the last episode of The Outer Limits was The Probe. Conceptually it’s a good story, but in execution, it’s painfully tedious. The main characters spend the episode questioning everything, ultimately to … Continue reading

The Outer Limits: The Premonition
I had a premonition that The Premonition was going to be a lame duck episode and was pleasantly surprised to find it was actually very good. While it’s again about an experiment that goes wrong, a common theme in the … Continue reading

The Outer Limits: Counterweight
There are a number of things I don’t understand about the episode Counterweight. I always let the Control Voice finish his monologue at the end before stopping the episode, but noticed this one had extra time, because there was a … Continue reading

The Outer Limits: The Duplicate Man
Remember that scene in Doctor Who’s The Visitation when the Doctor was like, “we’re going to search for the Terileptil”, and Adric was like, “you know where it is?” and the Doctor sarcastically said, “Yes, that’s why we’re searching!” Well, … Continue reading

The Outer Limits: Keeper of the Purple Twilight
A weird thing happened to me today. I worked on my write up for a Twilight Zone episode, then finished prepping a pre-written post for a Doctor Who audio story called The Twilight Kingdom. Finally done with writing for the … Continue reading

The Outer Limits: The Inheritors
The only two-part story in the entire run of The Outer Limits and it feels like an actual movie. The Inheritors was the one episode I wasn’t really looking forward to because I was a bit put off by sitting … Continue reading

The Outer Limits: I, Robot
I, Robot is a unique episode for me because the first draft of my writeup was done as a story; a sort of continuation of the events depicted in the actual episode. After careful consideration, however, I realized that it … Continue reading

The Outer Limits: Wolf 359
I’m betting most of you know the story of Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. At least, you’ve either read the Illustrated Classic as a kid, or you’ve seen the Disney movie, or you just know the story … Continue reading

The Outer Limits: The Invisible Enemy
Holy Rosetta Stone, Batman! One of my oldest friends often questions me on where it all began. He tries to figure out if my love of science fiction influenced who I became or if I was on this path and … Continue reading

The Outer Limits: Cry of Silence
The first time I’d watched The Outer Limits, I was not yet familiar with the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Anyone who’s read The Color out of Space has experienced the terror and the dread of that remote farmhouse and the … Continue reading

The Outer Limits: Demon with a Glass Hand
In 2018, before Roger and I decided to dive into The Outer Limits as a weekly review, I’d flagged one episode for special notice. Today, it still stands out as one of the very best the series had to offer. … Continue reading

The Outer Limits: Behold Eck!
The Outer Limits was a show that was usually way ahead of its time. It came up with some really fantastic ideas but often failed on the execution. Sometimes that’s the result of the time it was made: special effects … Continue reading

The Outer Limits: Cold Hands, Warm Heart
Anyone who has ever had a bad fever knows the discomfort of being cold and the struggle to keep warm. There’s a big difference between being out in the winter and being cold versus having a bad fever. When you’re … Continue reading

The Outer Limits: Soldier
The opener for season 2 had a direct impact on the future. No, I don’t mean Qarlo Clobregnny being from the future, but this is the episode that made writer Harlan Ellison go after James Cameron for plagiarism. He claimed … Continue reading

The Outer Limits: The Forms of Things Unknown
I came into the final episode of season one of The Outer Limits with fond memories but find these days, that preview scene really works against the episodes. In this preview, David McCullum takes Barbara Rush down a creepy hallway … Continue reading

The Outer Limits: The Chameleon
Just at a point where I was feeling The Outer Limits was getting a bit repetitive, The Chameleon comes along. Weirdly, I had vague memories of this episode and they were not positive ones. Yet watching it now, as an … Continue reading

The Outer Limits: Production and Decay of Strange Particles
When I was collecting The Outer Limits on VHS way back in the early days of mankind, they were being released roughly 6 at a time. When the batch came out with The Production and Decay of Strange Particles, the … Continue reading
The Outer Limits: A Feasibility Study
Magnificent recovery! For a few episodes, I had been wondering why I loved this series as a kid. There were simply too many in a row that we predictable and dated. A Feasibility Study brings back the awe and mystery … Continue reading
