Summary: One Of The Best Time Travel DVD's ever!
Review:
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.

Summary: One of the best on TV
Review: 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.

Summary: A must have.
Review: Did you like the New Outer Limits? If so, this is an excellent DVD for you to own. I really wish they would come out with the seasons in box form, but this will keep me happy until that day arrives. A very well done edition. In every way.

Summary: Excellent writing, well implemented.
Review: I found this series to be a real treat when it appeared on Showtime, and have enjoyed it for years for its tightly constructed and well-paced stories, often exploring more speculative ideas in 44 minutes than large screen movies do in two hours. I couldn't disagree more with the review above, stating that it doesn't deserve the name Outer Limits. Each episode starts with a very interesting supposition and explores it fully, often ending in an unexpected manner. The show's focus on story and character remains intact, a tribute to the original.

Summary: Time Travel and Outer Limits - How can you go wrong?
Review: I have been a fan of the new Outer Limits since it began in the 1990s.A Stitch in Time is THE SINGLE BEST EPISODE of The Outer Limits ever, period. The acting is exceptional! (Thanks Amanda Plummer-LA Law and Michelle Forbes-Ensign Ro of ST-TNG!)The story is tightly written and very compelling. It alone makes this DVD a 5-Star MUST BUY. Patient Zero and Tribunal are also very well written time travel stories and worthy additions to a Time Travel DVD from The Outer Limits. The remaining three episodes I have not seen, but I have to admit, I haven't met a Outer Limits time travel epidsode I haven't liked!

Summary: Long Overdo DVD
Review: I love the outer limits. I mean, love it. I have been waiting for a DVD collection like this for years. Now that it's out, you bet that I bought it (I mean pre-ordered it). The stories and v/fx are awesome. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who loves Sci-fi. One of my fav episodes is "Tribunal". I love the story. I even own several of the props used from the episode in my personal TV/film prop collection. PS. The DVD is a little odd. If you put in the DVD and wonder where the other episodes are, flip the DVD over. That confused me for a couple of minuets.

Summary: Why haven't more dvd's been released?
Review: I really like the 'New Outer Limits' episodes and spend time taping them off of the Sci-Fi Channel because only two dvd's have been released of the new series. My favorite episode is "Patient Zero" - none of the other episodes have the humanity, dialogue or true sense to them that "Patient Zero" has. Michael Rooker has been criticized for being 'wooden'; however, his entire family was destroyed by a plague and he is sent to earth to kill an innocent woman. So I think it was somewhat realistic that he be a little flustered and tight-lipped about his mission and thought provoking communication with the doomed "Patient Zero" who is a pregnant woman who shows him compassion and they both share a love of music. Tanya Allen Patient Zero) is also in an episode called "Fear Itself" that was made a few years earlier than this episode.

Summary: Where's the 16:9 anamorphic version MGM?
Review: I watched OL religiously on Showtime. Towards the end of the series the episodes were broadcast in 16:9 HDTV. I have not yet bought this DVD but I'm troubled that the format is 4:3 rather than 16:9. I'm hoping that future OL DVD's will offer a 16:9 version.

Summary: eh, it's watchable, very 1995
Review: If this show were being aired today I would be a little more demanding, but it's got an X-files feel to it with a little extra strangeness, and the characters constantly change anew. With no commercials, I'll watch these no problem. A seasonal compilation would have been better though, because I like them so far. In the other DVD, "sex and sci-fi", you actually get to see Alyssa Milano's ...!! alone worth the purchase. mmm.
