Hermo Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:40:37 +0000 http://greattvondvd.com/the-outer-limits-original-series-complete-box-set/#comment-1658 With great anticipation, I awaited the arrival of my "Outer Limits" box set. Sometimes our memory makes us believe that things are better then they actually are, or were. There is nothing really wrong with this box set technically, I just remember the episodes being better than what they are. Maybe when you are over 40, your idea of what constitutes good entertainment changes. Even a classic episode like "The Zanti Misfits" seems a little slow and not as scary as I remember. I guess what I want to say, is that if you wish to recapture the magic you experienced as a kid growing up watching this series, that magic is probably gone, replaced with thoughts of how you would have shot, directed, and edited the episode and or series. I have yet to finish season 1, and I am in no hurry to finish watching the rest anytime soon. <br /> <br />As I said before, for a 40 year old plus series, there is nothing technically wrong with this series. The black & white image is sharp, with very little damage. Audio is good, sub-titles would have been nice. Maybe if you were watching this box set for the first time, you might find it interesting, but some of the stories seemed like they had run out of ideas, and were desperate for a story, episode "ZZZZZ" comes to mind. I guess the problem lies with me, trying to remember and recapture the fun, joy, and wonder of TV back in the 70's in the Tri-State area. But, you can't go back, and nothing stays the same.

This is the ultimate creativity series filmed in glorious b&w. Light of truth must contrast with twilight of maybe, OL does that. Have a good mind travel.
