one of my favorite episodes
17 January 2007 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

the first time i saw this episode, i had no idea what i was watching, as I had missed the opening (the voice of control) The first thirty or forty minutes were so bizarre and intriguing I couldn't stop watching. The way the various characters went from one role to another was just mind blowing to me. When the originals were run I worked night shift and never saw them so this was a brand new show to me, so I still catch the sci fi marathons whenever I can. It hooked me on the "NEW outer limits" and I am still trying to catch up on the episodes I have missed. I will not do the "spoiler" thing here but the whole story completely blew me away and has made me a fan of the show.
