The Outer Limits (The New Series) - Time Travel & Infinity Reviews
One of the best on TV
Because of its complex plots and fantastic plot twists, not to mention that most episodes are family appropriate, the Outer Limits shines as an example of great television. However, like most great TV shows these days, I've only ever seen it on a non-network channel, which means it will never get the publicity it deserves (unlike annoying shows like Sinefeld and Friends).
The show is a lot like the Twilight Zone from back in the sixties (when the original 'Outer Limits' originally ran), but with more bizare plot twists and, more often than not, a great moral at the end. This DVD is not a collection of all episodes from a particular season, but is instead a set of episodes related by the fact that they all deal with time travel (although there was one season in which time travel was featured quite prominently, although I'm not sure which it was).
The highlights of this set would have to be Patient Zero and Time to Time (I haven't watched Deja vu yet, so I can't comment on it). Patient Zero is somewhat predictable, although watching the pieces fall into place is almost as entertaining as not knowing what will happen. Time to Time is probably my favorite episode of the show, and features some great cinamatography and a perfect ending, although I found it somewhat predictable. As I sat and saw the pieces fall into place, I smiled with a sort of evil glee to see where the story was going.
The only episode I didn't really care for was the Gettygsburg episode, because it didn't really have a great plot twist, interesting characters, or even that great of a plot.
If you're a fan of the show, or just interested in stories with involving plots and great twists, this set will not disapoint.
One Of The Best Time Travel DVD's ever!
After reading some peoples stupid reviews about this disc, I decided to travel back in time and write this.
The new Outer Limits were MUCH better than the original (a rare exception for me where I think the original series was not as good)
Tribunal- (A+) Hands Down the best Episode on the dvd!! Amazingly well written, emotional, great acting, etc.
Gettysburg (A-) I'm shocked some reviews didn't like this. This was incredible and had a great twist as to why they were sent off to battle. A Great Story!
Time To Time (B+) This was also very good and wrapped up the "Prentice" character and was a good conclusion to the previous 2 episodes mentioned above. They actually made this episode in hopes of making a pilot for a spinoff with the "Prentice" character. If only they did, that would've made one of the best shows ever!!
A Stitch In Time (B+) A very well written story and thought provoking. Emotional too.
Patient Zero (C+) Cool Story, Michael Rooker was great and was a good story of time travel, sacrifice, etc.
Deja Vu (C+) Kevin Nealon was very good, reminded me of Groundhog Day, there was also an X-Files episode that was similar as well.
My work is done here and it's time for me to travel back to where I came from.
