It was good stuff. They did weaken a bit when they tried to string together several of the common story lines using clip shows. (shudder) And I've been trying to watch Enterprise, but I just had a stampede of teenagers through my living room. My synapses were using smoke signals to communicate.

Good shows. You know, I realize how much i miss good scifi anthology series. One problem I have with all the shows on the tube now--good and bad--is that it's the same universe week after week. Shows like Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, etc., created completely new worlds each week, with different subject matter and different actors. Just in the brief marathon I saw today, I got to enjoy Rebecca DeMornay, John Savage, Timothy Bussfield, and a host of character actors from all over the place. Really miss that format.... And, there's a decent ep of "Enterprise" on now. It was toward the end of the Xindi storyline, where some of the shows were actually not bad at all. After the time travel foolishness (the exploding sphere, then Archer's in a Nazi-occupied NYC???) the show got much better. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Baxter" <truthseeker...@hotmail.com> To: "SciFiNoir2" <scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, December 11, 2009 3:54:27 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] "Outer Limits" Marathon on SyFy And guess who wanders in with six minutes left in the marathon?

They're running the eps from the second series from the '90s, not the original black-and-white eps. I will say, I always enjoyed this series. Unlike "Twilight Zone", Outer Limits seemed to me to have a higher quality remake. "Zone" was very hit-and-miss in both its reincarnations, but "Limits" was in the main very enjoyable. Perhaps it's because Limits tended to be more straightforward scifi, where Zone dealt with supernatural as well? Or maybe no one could do it as well as Serling? At any rate, they've shown some good ones so for. The one on now starts with a demonic looking teddy bear pulling a little boy under his bed into limbo. Gotta admit: that little toy with its glowing red eyes was downright creepy! Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection.
