ALL SCI-FI

Until recently I was not a big fan of The Outer Limits, but this Starlog article from issue #4 illustrates why I changed my mind.

Here's the article and an episode guide. I was careful NOT to brighten the already high-contrast photos when I cleaned up the text sections. So the bleached-out images ain't my fault!

From a magazine article.

Joseph Stefano wrote some of the most poetic dialogue and narrations in all of television as the original producer of The Outer Limits. Stefano liked to shine a light on dark corners of human characters. Outer Limits creator Leslie Stevens wanted to do a show dealing with the stuff that Science Fiction is really about: possibilities of the future, other worlds and alien life, the imagined consequences of scientific ideas.

Stefano agreed to help him produce and write the show on the condition he could do it his way. Uninterested in science, Stefano wanted to do it closer to Gothic horror. He was able to blend his interests almost seamlessly with Stevens and produce a show with one of TV's most unique styles.
