Tonight's
OUTER LIMITS episodes (OT)
Date: 10/18/99
From: Executive
Well, it look's like the Sci-Fi Channel's latest attempt at getting some decent ratings (very unlikely) is to air episodes of tonight's 4 hour block of Showtime's "The Outer Limits" with former Star Trek actors.
If you haven't already seen these episodes tune in to The Outer Limits tonight from 7 to 11 PM eastern (the same reruns air in the early morning hours as well).
Here is tonight's "Four Play" lineup:
1. "The Voyage Home" (first season - 1995) ===> Michael Dorn guest stars as an astronaut. A weak story, it has absolutely nothing to do with Star Trek IV: The Voyager Home.
2. "Monster" (fourth season - 1998) ===> Nicole DeBoer and Harry Hamlin are two members of a group of psychics being used by project head Robert Guillaume to use their combined psychic power to assassinate world leaders. (4th and 5th season episodes have a different opening graphic montage from earlier seasons, although the theme song is the same)
3. "The Deprogrammers" (second season - 1996) ===> Brent Spiner guest stars. A vastly overweight alien resembling Jabba the Hut is good for laughs in an otherwise typically serious story. This was a decent episode, and Spiner did a good job in his role as a doctor who specializes in deprogramming humans who had previously been tortured and brainwashed by aliens.
4. "A Stitch in Time" (2nd season) ===> Michelle Forbes as and FBI agent who pursues a murderer back in time. Never a fan of Ensign Ro from her occasional guest appearances on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" I would have preferred Gillian Anderson in this role instead!
Other episodes of Showtime's The Outer Limits to feature Star Trek actors include the first season remake of "I Robot" in which a robot is put on trial for murdering its creator. It was just as bad as the 1964 original, but both versions have a great actor in different roles: Leonard Nimoy. In the original Nimoy was a reporter covering the trail, and in the sequel he is one of the attorneys. The unnecessary remake was directed by his son Adam Nimoy.
Ironically one of the all-time great episodes (2nd season) had one of theworst actors -- Will Wheaton in "The Light Brigade" in which a human 21st century crew in deep space had to figure out the location of a nuclear weapon on their ship (and how to launch it) to use against the enemy. Suspenseful throughout and dispensing with the usual happy ending, I highly recommend this one!
There were 3 in the fourth season (1998):
"The Promised Land" ===> Rene Auberjonois -- too bad he just missed having the chance to work on that other episode with former BENSON co-star Gulliaume!! Anyway, this story was actually a sequel to the previous season's superior "The Camp" with an entirely different cast.
"Sarcofagus" ===> Robert Picardo guest-starred in a forgettable story.
"In Our Own Image" ===> Nana Visitor tends to and falls for a damaged cyborg, played by X-FILES semi-regular Nicholas Lea (who later turned up in the 5th season single episode remake of the original series' only 2-parter "The Inheritors").
And finally, "The Grell" ===> A terrible fifth season (early 1999) episode which is currently seen only in syndication. As in the Star Trek: The Next Generation movies, Marina Sirtis didn't have much to do. She played Ted Shackelford's wife.
The story involved an alien race called the Grell who are conquered on Earth and made slaves by the humans. When Ted is injured the blood of his own slave alters his DNA, turning him into a Grell!! Although Ted survives in the end, his horribly disfigured face made him the intended target of a bigoted black human bounty hunter (played by Roger Cross -- a superb actor semi-regularly seen as the traitorous alien Joshua in FIRST WAVE). The name-game coincidence: Ted's slave is named Jesha!!

The
morons (Darkslider and Blinker)

First of all, my Castro comment was not intended as a comeback -- just a bit of humor. Brand_S hasn't exactly been a saint either, accusing me of being the spammer in an earlier thread before he apologized in the same topic. I'm not looking to fight him, so what I said in response to him should have been the END of the matter. Castrato is not a commonly used word, so don't attack me just because I wasn't familiar with it.
Second, virtually every post that Darkslider continues to make is anti-Executive. I have yet to see him post anything remotely intelligent. He's lucky the Dominion staff hasn't had his sorry ass thrown off this board by now! How anybody else can't point out his rude behavior is amazing (unless of course they don't want to come under attack as I have, so they ignore him completely).
Blinker, it's bad enough you've made false accusations against me, but if you can't see that Darkslider is this board's real enemy by now than you might as well marry him. You two were made for each other!
Dark

For a joker, you of all people should know that I wasn't serious about your sexual orientation (which I won't make an issue because it has no relevance). It's just makes no sense that you support every rude remark that Darkslider makes on this board. Remember that he has attacked other people as well.
Also: I'd appreciate it if you would stop correcting my spelling! I type fast and sometimes my longer posts are bound to have a typo or two. Deal with it!!

Not personally attacking you Exec, due to Groupie i realized how plesant you are.
but may i ask what MAGNAFLUX and SONGOKOU posted that was bennificial to this board, all Magna ever did was call people Gay and Looser, and all SonGoukou did was praise First Wave, barely ever mentioning sliders.
Also as for the Catrato thing, no offense i think that was Karma for the whole De_Nile Denial thing a while back.

I like Blinker, we both know that, i don't really care for Darkslider, but basically he don't post here alot and Magnaflux was doing the same damn thing, thats what i had ment.
Hold
on... lemme take you up on that.

One or two typos, huh? Riiiiight.

> latest attempt at getting some decent ratings
> (very unlikely) is to air episodes of tonight's
> 4 hour block of Showtime's "The Outer Limits"
> with former Star Trek actors.1) "Looks" should not have an apostrophe, as it is not being used in the possessive sense.
2) The phrase 'to air episodes of tonight's 4 hour block of Showtime's "The Outer Limits" with former Star Trek actors' is illogically constructed. A proper arrangement would be 'to air episodes of "The Outer Limits" with former Star Trek actors during tonight's Four Play.'
> If you haven't already seen these episodes tune
> in to The Outer Limits tonight from 7 to 11 PM
> eastern (the same reruns air in the early morning
> hours as well).3) There should be a comma after "episodes," as 'tune in to The Outer Limits,' etc. is a separate clause.
4) "Eastern" should be capitalized.
> A weak story, it has absolutely nothing to
> do with Star Trek IV: The Voyager Home.5) It was The VOYAGE Home, not VOYAGER.
> (4th and 5th season episodes have a different
> opening graphic montage from earlier seasons,
> although the theme song is the same)Not a typo, but what was the point of bringing this up? It adds nothing to the rest of your (already off-topic) comments, and feels like poorly disguised filler (which is doubtlessly what it is.)
6) In any case, you forgot the period at the end of that sentence.

> actors...12) Spaces go between words, remember? Slow down; I think we here on the SLIDERS board can wait another couple minutes to hear your review of every single OUTER LIMITS with a Star Trek actor. Geez, most of these aren't even on tonight (making your reviews doubly irrelevant to us.)
13) "All-time great episodes" doesn't really mean much. "All-time greatest" would be a marked improvement.
> Rene Auberjonois -- too bad he just missed
> having the chance to work on that other
> episode with former BENSON co-star Gulliaume!!14) It's GUILLAUME. Guess French was never your strong suit, unless we're discussing your activities with toilet plungers.
> "Sarcofagus"
15) Already addressed.
> When Ted is injured the blood of his
> own slave alters his DNA, turning him
> into a Grell!!16) Comma goes after "injured," separate clause, you know the drill. Is punctuation taboo or something on your homeworld of Crapulon?
Side note:
> Hello?! That last part was a joke!
I believe you're confusing it with your love life, or possibly your career.
Well, that's over a dozen errors in a single post (even if a couple are debatable as matters of style.) It's been real, but I've got people with brains larger than emaciated Twinkies to talk to. Catch you around...

You have so much time on your hands that you had to point out my spelling errors. (By the way, one or two -- when any, is the usual amount in a post that long).
At least Hunter partially addressed my question that you keep avoiding -- about Darkslider's anti-social behavior. But then you're probably too scared to seriously address the issue. After all, you're dumb enough to believe that PHONY e-mails made by Danbagel me Daniel_2, and to think that I spammed the board, when neither is true.
There are people whose grammatical errors are 50 times worse than mine, yet you never fault them. Hunter made a few typos in his posts in this thread and you didn't even bring it up. Why? Because you are obsessed with me!
The Outer Limits may be off-topic, but at least it's more important that all of the bullshit you've been posting lately!!

I'm sure even Blinker will agree with me on that one, and you never wrote a single post about SLIDERS in your life! How many people have you insulted on this board? 10? 15? 20?

It's real good of you to talk about my popularity on the board because yours isn't looking to hot either scumbag. Shut your bitch hole before you make yourself look more foolish than you already have. Or maybe you’re going for the biggest ass of the board award. IMHO you already have that title.
Exec,
keep the stupidity to a minimum.

Braveheart:
I see that you have resorted to fighting me the way that avoided those animal sexual abuse charges in Denmark, namely by running. Don't take it out on Blinker, RealRealSlider and myself because the BackStreet Boys filed a restraining order on you. Look at it this way, there's always 98 Degrees....
Let's look at something shall we? In the past two months YOU have done two things:
1. Write about EVERY other show EXCEPT Sliders
2. Attacked people you do not like.Based upon what I've seen, it looks like anti-social behavior should become an option for you too, toughguy. You are 31 and you act like an 8 year old. Dude, stop eating the Barbie cereal, and get out into the "real world". You cannot even face someone, you have to do it on the sly, to put it in RRSliders terms "like a little whiny bitch". I swear you have to be the BIGGEST mistake that life has ever made....
Does anyone else think I'm anti-social? Who cares?! Is there anyone with half a brain who'd see WHY I'm anti-social? I cannot find much to say, but do when I see fit. It is, after all a right, you walking lobotomy. The insanity over here on this Bboard is IMMENSE. I respect many of the posters here, but I am not afraid to call them as I see them.
HunterD: I have no idea what the hell flew up your ass, but if you want to play with New Kids On the Block's biggest fan, you go right ahead. But, I have to know: What was done to you? I've always supported you in the past, and have not knocked you, so why the hostility??

===> I was going to even before RealRealSlider felt he had to get in the last word. Obviously you do as well, and that's why this isn't ending. So to correct your latest round of bullshit:
I see that you have resorted to fighting me the way that avoided those animal sexual abuse charges in Denmark, namely by running.
===> That's one the sickest thing you've ever invented! Maybe animals are OK for you, but I only date human women in their 20s and 30s. I've also never been out of the U.S.
Don't take it out on Blinker, RealRealSlider and myself because the BackStreet Boys filed a restraining order on you. Look at it this way, there's always 98 Degrees....
===> I don't listen to wimpy groups like that. When somebody turns that crap on at work, I usually change it to a rock station!
Let's look at something shall we? In the past two months YOU have done two things:
1. Write about EVERY other show EXCEPT Sliders.===> Another lie. Sure I've written about other shows (as with The Outer Limits in this topic), but so have many other people. As for SLIDERS, I reviewed or commented on almost every episode of this final season -- even the ones I hated. Obviously you didn't read them and that's your problem! I've also discussed the ratings, why the show was in trouble (and later cancelled) and other SLIDERS related matters.
The only matters that Darkslider has discussed are of biological function (drinking pee and of the fecal variety).
2. Attacked people you do not like.
===> Only in self-defense (applies mostly to you and Blinker). I'm not proud of that, by I'm not going to let you make up things to trash me.
Based upon what I've seen, it looks like anti-social behavior should become an option for you too, toughguy.
===> I'm one of the nicest people there is -- JUST DON'T FUCK WITH ME, and we'll get along fine...
You are 31 and you act like an 8 year old.
===> You say I'm acting like a child. Have you been reading the crap you write about myself and other people? You should have been committed to a mental ward a long time ago!Dude, stop eating the Barbie cereal, and get out into the "real world".
===> I live in the real world. What planet are you from? Oh, and I don't like kid's cereals. I go more for Total corn flakes and Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats. ;-)
Does anyone else think I'm anti-social? Who cares?!
===> Obviously nobody cares about you, and that's why you are so messed up.Is there anyone with half a brain who'd see WHY I'm anti-social? I cannot find much to say, but do when I see fit.
===> Well, if you having nothing nice to say than SHUT UP and maybe this board will actually become a decent place for people to visit again!!!The insanity over here on this Bboard is IMMENSE. I respect many of the posters here, but I am not afraid to call them as I see them.
===> I respect most of the people here, and it's only a few troublemakers like you and Blinker who ruin it for the rest of us. The only thing I'm guilty of is fighting with jokers like you. When I go into fight mode I'm almost as bad as you -- the main difference being that at least I'm honest in what I say.
===> If you want this to end, don't respond. You've done more than enough damage (to yourself mostly) already.
