Goofs

When Hannah is in the bathroom and smashes the mirror, the view pans down from the cracked mirror but shows no actual pieces missing only the distorted reflection, however when the view get to the counter there is both a large shard she picks up to stab herself with as well as smaller glass chunks considerable enough to have made gaps in the mirror where there should have been no reflection if they were missing.

One of the better premises to an outer limits
28 February 2006 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I saw this last night on SCI FI at about 2 in the morning. Maybe it was all the rum or the late night but this has to be one of my favorite episodes.

Weather it is Alyssa Milano running around half naked having sex with everyone or.......wait that is exactly what it is.

The story is that Alyssa Milano's character is infected by a virus that makes her absorb life energy through sexual contact. She runs around infuriating her boyfriend (jeremy London) by "sleeping" with all these other guys. When these guys go missing the cops arrest London.

Milano's character is killing these horny guys by absorbing their energy when they get turned on. In the end it is only the love that Milano and London's character have for each other. Basically its kind of an easy cop out seeing as both are alright, but furthers the saying "love conquers all".

The episode is surprisingly moving for a poorly produced show (the OL during this time frame was awfully made). However Milano and London's (especialy Milano's) performance make this one of the most memorable episodes of the series.

One only needs to watch this episode to see just how great Milano plays the innocent girl and how equally great she can transform into the seductress.

This show despite its production shortfalls gets a 10/10 from me. Alyssa needs to have more emotionally challenging roles like this one, not just the half retarded characters she gets on Charmed.

Id love to see Alyssa stay in the sci fi realm and maybe get a spot on a show like BStar Galatica, the writing for that show is awesome and Milano could be great.

OK to bed.
