Torrent description

There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat, there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits





The Outer Limits originally was broadcast from 1963 to 1965 on the U.S. television broadcasting
network ABC, and a total of 49 episodes. Leslie Stevens created it, and was one of many series
influenced by The Twilight Zone and Science Fiction Theatre, though it ultimately proved influential
in its own right. In the un-aired pilot, the series was titled Please Stand By, but ABC rejected it;
Stevens retitled it The Outer Limits. With a few changes, the pilot aired as the premiere episode,
"The Galaxy Being".

Writers for The Outer Limits included creator Stevens and Joseph Stefano (screenwriter of Psycho), who
was the series' first-season producer and creative guiding force. Harlan Ellison wrote "Demon With a
Glass Hand" and "Soldier" for the more cautious second season. After James Cameron revealed in an
interview that the inspiration for Terminator had come from Ellison's stories, Ellison sued him and
was awarded several hundred thousand dollars in damages, and an end-credits mention in The Terminator,
stating the creators' wish to acknowledge the works of Harlan Ellison. The courts also awarded Ellison
the right to an acknowledgement of his works included to all future versions of the film.

Like The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits had an opening and closing narration to almost every episode
the "Control Voice" (Vic Perrin) and distinctive music, originally by Dominic Frontiere, listed
as a "Production Executive"; the second season featured a new theme by Harry Lubin. The dramatic
thrust of the two programs was different. The Twilight Zone used irony, the protagonist would achieve
his goal, but not in the manner desired. The Outer Limits was straight action that deeply delved into
philosophical problems within a science fiction context. Many of the stories dwelled upon the triumph
of the human spirit, often in confrontation with dark existential forces within or without
(hence, the "... mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits").
