I would give this series 20 stars if I could! It is unbelievable how much of the science and technology stuff they showed in the episodes back in the mid-90s to early 2000s, is now an everyday reality. Cyborgs, androids, Artificial Intelligence, brain transplants, cloning, mutating viruses, nuclear fallout, genetic engineering, alien DNA transplants, gene therapy, memory transplants and implants, ESP,discovery of new planets, brain-to-computer chip transfers, extinct animals and gene resurrections, nanobots, evolution/reverse evolution, frisky aliens, you name it, and there is an extremely interesting and realistic episode pertaining to it. These were scientific cautionary tales, for technology having gone awry, and each episode had a moralistic/introspective narration at the beginning and the end that posed these ethical and moral questions. Simply outstanding!

All but a handful of the shows could have easily fit into a 30 minute TV time slot. They stretched things out with filler dialog that added little or nothing to the story line. I liked the old 1960's version better, discounting the limited special affects of the time period. It was a better time of society, it came through in the shows.

Science Fiction is kind of like Pizza - even when it's bad, it's still pretty good. If you are a fan of SF The Outer Limits reincarnation in the 90's was a welcome treat, and provided a forum for some of the best writers in the industry. The pilot episode 'Sandkings' by George R.R. Martin was spectacular, as was 'Inconstant Moon' by Larry Niven and 'Think Like A Dinosaur' by James Patrick Kelly. My only complaint/criticism of the series was the overall editorial slant. Nearly all the stories were anti-technology/anti-science/anti-human. Not that they weren't entertaining, but overall they were very depressing and self-loathing. The 'party line' seemed to be Humans are Evil and they will be destroyed by their own arrogance and lack of humility. The original Outer Limits from the 60's had a few of these, but the vast majority of them were positive. Even when the protagonist died, it was a selfless sacrifice that saved humanity or at least the pretty girl. Just sayin...

When the series first started I was looking forward to it. I'd seen some of the original series on late night TV while working night shifts and hoped the new version would live up to its predecessor. In a word no. Some episode were genuinely thought provoking and despite the tedious and extremely patronising ending monologues I gave it a real go. However, after seeing the world end for the 50th unoriginal time, I had stop watching. For example, at the end of the FIRST series an episode called The Voice of Reason , has Aliens in human form hearing stories of how other alien invasions threatened their own evil schemes. Thats right, they had so many earth's gonna get it soon episodes to pool from, they could make a repeats show based solely on that premise, and that was from the first season only! And they didn't stop there, trust me. As I said there were some really good ideas here and there but you had to wade through a lot of crap to get to them. I gave it 2/10 cause that was the good to bad episode ratio in my opinion.
