The outer limits

I used always watch that show, new n old thought it was great and at times disturbing :eek:, what ever happened to it?

Fidelis

Great series.

The thing was that all the episodes were really low budget stuff with generally less than 5 actors throughout but always had bags of atmosphere. Lots of mystery, sub-plots & deception

One of my favourite episodes was the one with the Wesley Crusher guy in it, it was set in the future onboard a space ship - utter class stuff. Anyone see it ?

Inspector Gadget

...they were (possibly still are) selling off memorabilia from that series in dribs and drabs on EBay. I wonder is that a good or bad sign?

As regards the "Wesley Crusher" (his real name was Wil Wheaton, wasn't it? That's what you get for watching TNG after midnight on Sky One - fresh memories of Wesley ). I remember his face, but can't place the episode - is that the one where then end up launching a doomsday bomb sent from Earth onto Earth when they go a bit astray?

Shhhhhhhhhhhh

I knew the storyline, but I didn't want to ruin it for anyone, edit your post before people see it

That was a great episode.

Yep, excellent episode in a great series, imagine how you'd feel if that was you on that ship, responsible for that...

I still remember one of the first episodes with the android woman ('fully functional', hur hur...)

I was shocked when I first saw it, to be honest. Full frontal nudity in a US series? Unheard of!

Fidelis

My heart almost stopped when I saw that it was Earth, amazing writing. Haven't been amazed by something on TV like that in absolutely ages.

Corinthian, are you complaining ?

Absolutely... If I'd known beforehand, I'd have taped the episode :rolleyes:

I loved that Wil Wheaton episode too.

Another favorite one of mine was a war, humans against aliens, being fought on Earth. The good guys had to keep taking some form of drug to avoid dying from alien bugs ... or did they?

Here's that episode, the girl is Sofia Shinas, who was also in The Crow... http://www.theouterlimits.com/episodes/season1/117.htm (no pics, soz Gado, perhaps you can go find some )

Ah now that episode i do remember! cool episode

Kairo

The Sand Kings..

Inspector Gadget

I like the quote in your sig... but considering the forum we're in, maybe this one from DS9's Garak is more suitable (don't know which episode it's from, sorry):

"Paranoid is what they call people who imagine they have threats against their life"

Gadget

azezil

lol nice one:D

Fidelis

Personal favourite;

"Treason, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder" - Garak

The Corinthian

"The truth is only a lie that hasn't been discovered yet."

"Always burn your bridges after you, you never know who might be trying to follow."

"The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination."

"I believe in coincidences. Coincidences happen every day. But I don't trust coincidences."

(Bashir tells the story of the boy who cried "Wolf")
Bashir: "If you lie all the time, no one is going to believe you, even when you're telling the truth."
Garak: "Are you sure that's the point, Doctor?"
Bashir: "Of course. What else would it be?"
Garak: "That you should never tell the same lie twice."

Reminds me of this one:

Bashir: So of the stories you told me, which ones were true?
Garak: My dear doctor, all of them were true.
Bashir: What about the lies?
Garak: Especially the lies.

Al.

Inspector Gadget

...I might as well add a few more.

"'Secure' is such a relative term, isn't it?"

Another good Bashir/Garak exchange:
Bashir: "They broke seven of your ribs and fractured your clavicle!"
Garak: "Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt did serious damage to their egos"
-- from "The Way Of The Warrior"

"I'd like to get my hands on that fellow Earl Grey and tell him a thing or two about tea leaves"
-- from "In Purgatory's Shadow"

A possible rarity, an Odo/Garak exchange:
Odo: "You'd shoot a man in the back?"
Garak: "It's the safest way, isn't it?"
-- from "Call To Arms"

"I always hope for the best; unfortunately, experience has taught me to expect the worst"
-- from "Sacrifice of Angels pt.2"

...and to nail it off (and complete the list of quotes sitting in my Palmpilot):
"To think, after all this time, all our lunches together, you still don't trust me? There's hope for you yet, Doctor"
-- from "Distant Voices"

Karl Hungus

Anyone remember that episode with Robert "T-1000" Patrick?
Where he was a fighter pilot, captured by the aliens.
And there was a girl in the same cell as him that was being changed into one of the aliens.

That must have been one of my favorite episodes.

And definetly that "Sand Kings" episode. Class stuff.

Or one episode where there were these guys on a spaceship, that picked up some kind of alien spider, and the main dude kept having hallucinations from the spider's venom.

Wasn't she being changed 'back' into an alien???

Well I was trying not to give away the ending... But... Ah never mind... Everyone here is as anal enough as myself to have seen every episode... Twice...

Cake Fiend

There's a series on Network 2 iirc, 'Night Visions' or some such, similar kind of thing (but not as good).

Fidelis

It's on NET2, Saturday @ 11.25pm.

Pepe LeFrits

Saw it last night, didn't think it was very good (a guy got his head drafted onto another mans body because he had cancer), but from what I remember it was always either great episode or crap episode with TOL

Ivan

Actually that was an Episode of The Outer Limits. One I haven't seen yet, however I have seen some of the episodes from this series.
