MY FAVORITE EPISODE OF ALL TIME IS LIVING HELL FROM SEASON ONE
Season 1, Episode 8: Living Hell
Original Air Date12 May 1995
A critically injured man receives an experimental brain implant that saves his life. But then he begins to see a series of brutal murders from the killer's perspective. Worse, the killer can see through his eyes, too, and means to find and kill the only witness to his terrible crimes. With time running out, the doctor who made the implant realizes the truth: her patient's implant is communicating with another patient's implant. But can she figure out which other patient?
AND BLOOD BROTHERS IS ALSO VERY GOOD
Season 1, Episode 3: Blood Brothers
Original Air Date7 April 1995
Medical researcher Dr Spencer Deighton has discovered a formula which apparently gives a human being eternal life. When he shares his discovery with his brother Michael, who co-owns their research company, he doesn't realise how greedy and ruthless his sibling is.
STILL WATCH THE REST OF THE SEASON 1 DVD BOX SET SO IF I FIND MORE I LIKE ID LET YOU KNOW. -

SPOILERS, OF COURSE
My favorite episode would probably be Dj Vu. I really appreciated the red herring villainess and the bait-and-switch after Mark discovers Julia's tampering, and the concept of an unstable and shrinking time loop which will doom Mark to relive the detonation over and over forever (or, at least, forever according to his perceptions) unless he fixes the device SOON, as it keeps sending him into the past at destination points increasingly closer to the origin. And the colonel's fate at the end of Dj Vu is certainly the best representation of a doomed person stuck in a seconds-long chronological loop (and reliving the detonation over and over forever) that I have ever seen.
A Stitch in Time is another good episode that plays on a nonlinear space-time continuum, and I thought that it was fittingly ironic that Agent Pratt became the same killer-of-killers that she originally hunted after her friend's murderer was returned to the course of history with Dr. Givens' death.
And Gettysburg alone was worth the cost of my DVD just to watch the legendary Meatloaf go nuts and shoot an Abraham Lincoln impersonator.
As for Patient Zero, I originally saw it on TV back in the late 90's, and I remembered it being better. It was a little bit disappointing watching it again on DVD, but that might be just because I had already seen the "gotcha" ending. Watching an episode is never as good as the first time, eh? -

#1 Stitch in Time. This is what sci-fi, horror TV should be. Smart script with no holes in logic. (Those ruin it for me every time.) Well acted, expecially
Plumber. Lots of twists and turns in story and it ask a very important question. If you could go back and kill Hitler, knowing what he would do in life, would you? What is being done is saving innocent people from horrific deaths by killing the killers. Loved it!!!!
#2 Living Hell. Another episode that links and innocent man to a killer.This time via an experimental brain chip.
#3 Under the Bed. Kind of campy but fun. What kid hasn't looked under the bed to make sure there is no monster under there? Besides Barbara Williams is hot.
#4 Trial by Fire. What was the right choice and how do you decide what to do? To bad in this one, the wrong choice was made. I was actually yelling at the TV on this one. No..don't listen to the others..
Just like Twilight Zone, Masters of Horror, Tales from the crypt, etc.. they all have a mix of good stuff and not so good stuff. The Outer Limits as a whole was pretty good across the board. I can only think of a few that were not good. Not bad for a 7+ year run. -

My favorite is Tribunal. I ordered the "Time Traval & Infinity" collection from amazon mainly for that episode.

What's the name of the one where aliens are coming to earth and all the "important" people in government are in some bunker and they're trying to decide if they should treat the aliens hostileturns out after already attacking aliens they learn the aliens initial message was "we come in peace" or something like that? Anyone know the name? I think the aliens only like water or something too, so they landed in the ocean..
